It’s well-suited for side sleepers and back sleepers who like a mattress that isnt overly firm.

Both mattresses come in all-foam and hybrid versions, with the hybrids costing more.

(We’ll be focusing on the all-foam versions.)

Otherwise, your Nectar matterss-in-a-box will ship free, and you’ll need to set it up yourself.

No need to wait to buy as we imagine this offer will remain for quite a while.

However, according to Nectar, the Luxe boasts twice the cooling prowess of the Classic.

The differences are more apparent beneath the covers.

Both mattresses have a top comfort layer made of pressure-relieving memory foam that contours to the body.

The Nectar Classic includes an inch of this foam, while the Nectar Luxe has three inches.

Beyond the comfort layer, the construction is the same.

That’s due to the thickness of the top comfort foam layer.

In ourNectar Luxe Mattress review, we found this assessment accurate.

According to our panel, it offers a nice balance of sink-in softness and support.

Strict side sleepers will benefit most from the Nectar Luxe.

However, the Nectar Luxe won’t appeal to everyone.

The Nectar Luxe is an excellent choice for side sleepers.

By contrast, the Nectar Classic has a slightly firmer feel than advertised.

Compared to the cushier Nectar Luxe, we believe the Nectar Classic will be more accommodating for larger sleepers.

Sleepers seeking a typical memory foam sensation may be let down by the responsiveness of the Nectar Classic.

The Nectar Classic is versatile enough for most sleep styles.

However, Nectar doesnt specify how the Luxe achieves this.

In our tests, the Nectar Classic scoredhigherthan the Nectar Luxe in temperature regulation.

One possible theory for this outcome is the thickness of the top comfort foam.

The Nectar Classic slept cooler for us than the Nectar Luxe.

Hybrid models generally sleep cooler than all-foam beds as the spaces between the coils can prevent heat buildup.

For those who don’t want to feel trapped by their mattress, this is a good thing.
