Standing at 14" tall, you might expect a luxury feel for a mid-range price.

The mattress performs exceptionally across the board, for edge support, comfort, and motion isolation.

However, it’s downfall is in temperature control.

Hot sleepers will want to opt for a less dense foam structure for more airflow.

Overall, this is a high-quality, premium mattress suited to most sleeping styles.

Nectar is known for its good quality bed-in-a-box mattresses that are also exceptional value.

But is the Nectar Luxe a worthy upgrade?

We tested the Nectar Luxe memory foam mattress to find out.

The Nectar Luxe has a deep, 14-inch profile and is made up of three internal layers of foam.

Next is a comfort layer made using 3-inches of therapeutic memory foam.

This layer provides outstanding pressure relief and support around your joints and lumbar area.

This makes this mattress one of the best choices for sleepers with back pain.

Before a final 8-inch layer of conventional foam that offers stability and support.

When it comes to cooling this mattress didnt do as well as expected.

It certainly wouldn’t earn a spot in ourbest cooling mattressguide.

This means a queen is regularly sold at $1,249, despite an MSRP of $3,424.

However, around major sales holidays like theBlack Friday mattress salesyou will see a deeper discount.

When it comes to the trial period Nectar offer a very generous 365-nights.

The industry standard averages between 100-180 nightsleep trialand a 10-year warranty, so Nectar to go above and beyond.

Nectar Luxe mattress review: Design

When it comes to design the Nectar Luxe keeps it simple.

For this review we tested the Nectar Luxe memory foam in a queen size.

The first layer is 3" of pressure-relieving memory foam.

The Classic only has 1" of this foam, and the premier 2".

Finally, theres a motion isolation layer.

We also ran some tests to determine how effective the pressure relief was.

The same goes for heavier sleepers.

Our panel of testers think the surface is too plush to adequately support heavier sleepers.

Although, our main tester actually found this to be of benefit.

Although this is a premium mattress, you dont get any free premium delivery options likeWhite Glove delivery.

However, Nectar do offer a White Glove delivery service, at a cost.

Within five minutes it was fully inflated which made it easier to remove the remaining plastic.

Each of these key features can determine just how good a mattress is and who it appeals too.

This can help stop disturbances from fidgety partners, children, or even pets.

And it didn’t disappoint.

The Nectar Luxe isolated motion incredibly well.

This replicates the feeling of someone else tossing, turning or getting in and out of bed.

There was never enough motion transfer to knock the glass over.

Undoubtedly, this mattress has exceptional motion isolation that wont fail to impress.

So, we wouldn’t necessarily agree with the brands claims that is has ‘cooling power’.

It was possibly slightly cooler, but it certainly didn’t have much of an effect.

Our lead tester slept on this mattress with her partner who sleeps hot.

This is a very thick mattress and 14 of dense memory foam means that heat will ultimately get trapped.

Instead, opt for one of thebest cooling mattressesfor a guaranteed comfortable night’s sleep.

Edge Support

Good edge support is an important feature of any mattress.

Edge support is a term used to describe how stable the bed remains around the perimeter of the mattress.

This is important for many types of sleepers, including elderly sleepers or those with restricted movement ability.

The Nectar Luxe claims that it has robust edge support.

However, the corners and foot of the bed didnt quite have the same stability.

As expected those who leave five-star reviews have praised the mattress for its comfort, softness and lumbar support.

Although, some negative reviews have also commented that the bed is too soft.

And other third-party mattress reviewers have echoed these concerns.

So if you’re a hot sleeper, it’s worth opting for another mattress.

Should you buy the Nectar Luxe mattress?

Although, side sleepers will really embrace the medium-firm feel and cushioning support that takes pressure off when sleeping.

The motion isolation is another reason why this mattress really stands out as one of the best.

After experiencing the Nectar Luxe first hand we recommend this mattress to anyone who enjoys a medium-firm feel.
