Nectar are also now selling a wide range of furniture and bed frames in the UK too, which I have not reviewed here – but intend to cover in a later post. The Nectar Memory Foam has a firmness rating of 6.5 out of 10, while the Nectar Premier has a firmness rating of 7.5 out of 10. In other words, the Premier is firmer. Pressure-relieving Layer: A secondary layer of memory foam that absorbs energy and works to keep any pressure you’re feeling at a minimum. In other words, it helps to keep you sleeping in an optimal condition. The Nectar Memory Foam mattress may be more susceptible to heat retention due to its all-foam design; nonetheless, I found that it still did a great job of temperature regulation, in part because of the mattress’s porous top layer. Another nice surprise was the absence of any off-gassing odour. The Nectar Memory Foam is 25 centimetres deep, including the quilted cooling cover. That’s 3cm of memory foam, 2.5cm of open-cell breathable foam, and 19.5cm of 7-zoned base.

You want excellent support: The 7 zone body support system offers exceptional support and pressure relief.

The top all-round mattress in the UK according to WhatMattress users in 2023 is Simba Hybrid Luxe. It's surprisingly affordable, and out-performs all other hybrid mattresses in terms of comfort. It also doesn't sag as much as other rival hybrid mattresses, even after a couple of years of testing. About the company

As with most mattresses, we recommend the Newentor Hesperis Mattress to be used with a solid bed frame (such as the Sleep Republic Pro Base), or a solid ensemble base (with the slats no longer than 8 cm apart). This mattress was famously designed to cater to as many people as possible – think of it as the everyman mattress, or the Ford Focus. The first foam layer in this mattress is a 4cm layer of gel-visco memory foam. This is designed for pressure relief and to maintain a stable sleeping temperature. This layer forms the ‘medium’ feel configuration when placed on top. 3. High-Density Q-Stretch Foam 2cm You need solid motion support: Being a hybrid mattress motion isolation isn’t as strong as on a memory foam mattress. Before you decide to buy a mattress topper, you should first set your expectations right. A topper cannot fix an unsupportive old mattress. If your old mattress has lost its shape and cannot distribute weight evenly, then the time has come for a new one. On the other hand, if you feel that your old mattress is too firm or you need more pressure relief then a mattress topper can be the way to go. It’s time now to move to the full review below.

Sweet Dreams

Here at WhatMattress we take mattress research seriously - all our product tests are done as fairly and honestly as possible. The medium version (with the blue, gel-visco memory foam on top), feels dense and spongy. It does absorb body weight smoothly, but its level of comfort may not suit everyone. The mattress comes with a thoughtful thank you note, along with a product booklet and a handy cutting tool (to help remove the plastic wrapping). That said, side sleepers who prefer a very soft mattress may find the Nectar Memory Foam too firm for their liking. It is also worth noting that heavier sleepers (over 120kg or 16.5 stone each) may find the mattress less supportive, and may prefer a firmer option with more robust support. Who might like it: The Newentor Hesperis Mattress can be broken up into 5 distinct components. 1. Natural Coconut Cover

This mattress cover contains a coconut fibre and a bamboo fibre textile. These fibres may help with temperature regulation and the cover itself has been certified as non-toxic. The Newentor Hybrid Mattress is a great value, innerspring mattress. It would suit those looking for a decent, budget priced mattress or a good option for a guest room.On the other hand, the support foam side is the firmer of the two and you should choose it if you need more support and better spinal alignment. In my virtual scale, this would be a 7 with 10 being really firm. Both sides will do a good job and overall, this is a high-quality topper. Trial Period & Warranty This is a double-sided topper so you have two options. The memory foam side is the softer of the two and has great pressure relieving properties. You should choose this if you look for more comfort. If I use my virtual scale here, I would it’s a 6 with 10 being really firm. Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses. The finer details
