Nectar Premier

Sources & review notes

• Exact model — Nectar Premier Memory Foam (all-foam). Checked 2026-08-26. The mid-tier of Nectar’s all-foam line. Critically, this is not the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which shares the Premier name, the 13-inch height, and much of the marketing — but adds an 8-inch pocketed-coil unit and has its own review here. If a listing does not say Hybrid, this is the model you are looking at.
• Type — All-foam memory foam — no coils. Checked 2026-08-26. A polyester and nylon blend cover over 3 inches of gel-infused memory foam with phase-change material, a 3-inch polyfoam transition layer, and a 7-inch polyfoam support core. The Premier Hybrid replaces most of that core with coils, which is the whole difference between the two.
• Firmness — Medium firm — 6/10 measured. Checked 2026-08-26. Measured at 6 of 10 by the independent lab — the same rating it gives the Premier Hybrid, despite the two having entirely different support systems. Firmness alone will not tell these two models apart.
• Height — 13 inches. Checked 2026-08-26. Identical to the Premier Hybrid, which is exactly why height cannot be used to identify which one a listing is selling. Check for the words "hybrid" or "coils" instead.
• Price — Check current price — $999 queen. Checked 2026-08-26. Nectar advertises against a "Total Value" figure rather than a struck regular price, so treat the promotional price as the effective everyday price. That places it $200 below the Premier Hybrid on the checked date. A 30-day price match guarantee is offered.
• Trial — 365-night home trial, 30-day minimum. Checked 2026-08-26. A full year to decide, with Nectar asking you to keep the mattress 30 days first. That break-in matters on a 3-inch memory-foam comfort layer, which changes noticeably over the first few weeks.
• Delivery — Free compressed-box shipping. Checked 2026-08-26. Ships via ground courier compressed in a box, typically 7 to 14 business days, and is ready to use about 24 hours after unboxing. Alaska and Hawaii carry non-refundable shipping fees. White Glove delivery with old-mattress removal is available for an extra, non-refundable fee.
• Returns — Free returns and full refund during the trial. Checked 2026-08-26. Nectar arranges recycling or donation of the returned mattress and refunds in full. A White Glove delivery fee, if paid, is not refunded.
• Warranty — Forever Warranty — free replacement 10 years, then fees apply. Checked 2026-08-26. Read the two-part structure. For the first 10 years Nectar replaces a defective mattress free. After that it repairs or replaces at its discretion with a $50 transportation fee each way, waived if a qualifying defect is confirmed. Normal softening is excluded, which matters on an all-foam bed rated 7/10 for durability.
• Firmness — Medium firm (6/10). Measured data. A cradling medium-firm rather than a supportive platform. The same 6/10 the lab assigns the Premier Hybrid, which is a useful reminder that a firmness number says nothing about what is underneath it.
• Pressure relief — 9 / 10 test-lab rating. Measured data. The standout result and the reason to choose this model. Three inches of gel memory foam over a polyfoam transition distributes load broadly at the shoulder and hip — deeper relief than the hybrid version manages.
• Cooling — 6 / 10 test-lab rating. Measured data. The clear weakness, and the direct cost of the pressure relief above. The deeper you settle into memory foam the more skin is in contact with it, and phase-change material in the top layer does not offset that at this depth.
• Motion isolation — 9 / 10 test-lab rating. Measured data. Excellent, and structural. With no coils anywhere in the build there is nothing to carry a partner’s movement across the mattress.
• Response / bounce — 6 / 10 ease-of-movement rating. Measured data. Slow, as deep memory foam always is. You climb out of the contour rather than being pushed out of it — the same property that produces the strong pressure relief and motion isolation.
• Edge support — 7.5 / 10 test-lab rating. Measured data. Surprisingly good for an all-foam mattress with no reinforced perimeter, and better than the Premier Hybrid managed. The 7-inch polyfoam core is dense enough to resist a seated load.
