So far, the Nectar Luxe has performed well.

Our testers think this larger price tag is worth every penny.

Before the evergreen 50% off, its definitely a premium purchase.

Although you could expect Nectar to partake in major sales events throughout the year.

These layers combine to form an impressive 14 tall bed with an indulgent, luxury feel.

This design is similar to the brand’s other models.

This is designed to offer a little sink-in softness while keeping the body and spine aligned throughout the night.

Our lead tester is a side sleeper, and they found it incredibly comfortable.

Its memory foam contours the hips and shoulders well and my spine felt supported."

This includes assessing edge support, motion isolation, temperature regulation, and set up.

The edge support is impressive in this all-foam mattress, thanks to the 8 of foundational foam.

When the weight was placed in the corner, the mattress did collapse under it.

The weight often rolled off, due to excess sinkage of over 4.

So sleepers might want to avoid placing their weight on the corners as they get ready for the day.

Motion isolation

Under both subjective and objective tests, the Nectar Luxe performed exceptionally well formotion isolation.

This refers to the level of movement or motion transferred from one side of the bed to another.

This replicates a partner tossing and turning during the night, or climbing into bed.

For all three different heights: 4, 8, and 12, the wine glass wobbled only slightly.

In fact, she reported sleeping solidly throughout the night, barely aware of sharing the bed with anyone.

They hadnt turned the heating on and sleep next to draughty, single glaze windows.

Despite this, they still woke up hot and sweaty in the morning.

For our tester, this is unheard of as she usually sleeps cool.

Unfortunately, the 14 of dense memory foam traps heat and the structure allows minimal airflow.

Its definitely not one of thebest cooling mattressesweve tried.

Set up

Nectar makes some of thebest mattresses in a box.

The Luxe comes vacuum packed and practically boxed for easy delivery and set up.

Nectar advises it takes 24-72 hours to expand.

you’re able to also choose whether to view reviews with media or not.

Other full reviews by mattress testers have praised the motion isolation, recommending the bed for couples.

However, a common trend in the reviews is that it’s just too plush for heavier weight sleepers.

It performs highly across the board for edge support, motion isolation, and pressure relief.

But where this mattress really excels is in its support for side sleepers.
