Our Verdict
Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge
Nectar Premier Hybrid
The Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge and the Nectar Premier Hybrid are both hybrid mattresses with a Medium firmness, but they feel different when you lie on them. The Lakeridge's pillow top hugs closely around your body, while the Nectar's thinner comfort layers leave you resting more on top of the surface than sinking into it. The Lakeridge also offers much sturdier edge support, so you can sit or sleep near the side without feeling like you might slip off, something the Nectar struggles with due to its softer edge coils. The Nectar is better for hot sleepers, though, because it dissipates heat evenly throughout the night.
