Nectar vs TempurPedic Mattress Comparison

Nectar Mattress Construction And Materials

Nectars mattresses have four layers made of memory foam and support foam. We cut open our mattress to show you what it looks like inside (don’t try this at home!):

• Bottom layer: Support foam as the bed’s foundation
• Second layer: Nectar’s proprietary Adaptive Hi Core Memory Foam
• Third and fourth layers: Each of these layers is made out of gel-memory foam — a slightly cooler material than traditional memory foam

As you can tell, this mattress is packed with comfortable memory foam that your body will be able to gently sink into for maximum pressure relief and relaxation.

Nectar Feel And Firmness

If you purchase a bed with three layers of memory foam, you can probably bet the mattress is going to give you a traditional memory foam feel. However, you don’t get that deep viscous feeling right away, which is why we think it lands between a medium and medium-firm on our firmness scale. Once you sink in, it’s incredibly comfortable, and it feels like a dense cloud giving you a hug.

Nectar Mattress Sleeper Type Analysis

Even though the Nectar mattress falls between a medium and medium-firm, we still think it’s soft enough to provide the pressure relief side sleepers need to stay comfortable through the night. 

Its firmness level makes it so that it’s a good option for back, stomach, and combination sleepers as well. In short, we think it’s a great option for all sleeper types.

Nectar Is Best For Lean Sleepers

As is the case with many memory foam mattresses, heavier folks (> 250lbs) probably won’t be as comfortable as their leaner counterparts. That’s because the bed lacks innersprings to support those who weigh more. For this reason, we think the Nectar mattress is a great option for those weighing in at under 230lbs.

• Amazon Reviews: Amazon reviewers give the Nectar mattress 4 out of 5 stars for its sleep quality, comfort and overall value for the money.  

Nectar vs Tempur-Pedic Price

We know price is often a huge factor in someone’s decision — especially when you’re talking about a $1,000 difference, at minimum. A queen-size Nectar mattress retails for around $1,200 without a discount. Usually the company runs a discount and will throw in two free pillows with each Nectar mattress.

If you want to purchase a queen-size Tempur-Pedic mattress, it goes for about $2,200 (starting price) and they don’t run specials as frequently as Nectar. That said, you can check Tempur-Pedic.com to see if they have a deal today.

So, if you’re on a budget or can’t justify spending over $1,500 on a mattress, Nectar would be a good choice for you. If money isn’t a concern and you want to invest in a top-notch premium mattress, go ahead and spring for Tempur-Pedic.

Tempur-Pedic Mattress Construction And Materials

The specific construction of a mattress in the Tempur-Pedic Adapt Series will vary, depending on which model you go with. However, the differences in materials are minor and largely contribute to the firmness and feel of the mattress. We break down what you can expect to find inside below:

• Bottom layer: Poly foam (or coils if choosing a hybrid)
• Transition layer: TEMPUR-ES or TEMPUR-APR memory foam,
• Top layer: Soft memory foam

Tempur-Pedic Feel And Firmness

The memory foam will soften as it retains your body heat. Depending on what model you choose, you can get a Soft, Medium/Medium Hybrid, or a Firm mattress. We rank the soft model a medium, the medium model a medium-firm and the firm model is firm. The graphic below shows the firmness ratings for the TEMPUR ProAdapt mattress.

Tempur-Pedic Mattress Sleeper Types Analysis

Because of the broad variety of mattress models that Tempur-Pedic has to offer, there’s a suitable sleep solution for any sleeper type. Back, stomach, combo and side sleepers can all find a comfortable mattress in the Tempur-Pedic Adapt series.

Tempur-Pedic Is Best For All Sleepers

Again, the sheer variety Tempur-Pedic offers in its models makes these mattresses suitable for all sleepers — regardless of size. Even if you weigh in at more than 250lbs, you can opt for a firmer, hybrid model complete with innersprings for extra support. Likewise, petite individuals will find a match made in memory foam heaven with virtually all the models Tempur-Pedic has to offer in the Adapt series.

Split Options For Couples

If you’re sharing a bed with a significant other, we think you’ll appreciate the split king and split California king options you get with a TempurPedic.

With a split mattress, you can make your side of the bed as firm as you need and your partner can make theirs as soft as they want. There aren’t a ton of companies out there who manufacture mattresses this way, so it’s one of our favorite things about TempurPedic.
