Our Verdict

Nectar Classic Hybrid

Nectar Premier Hybrid

The Nectar Premier Hybrid is the higher-end version of the Nectar Classic Hybrid. These mattresses perform similarly overall, and you may prefer either depending on your sleeping style, preferences, and budget. As the higher price tag would suggest, the medium Premier Hybrid outperforms the medium-firm Classic Hybrid in most respects, though, not by a huge margin. It's slightly more cooling and isolates movement a bit more effectively. If you sleep hot or sleep with a partner, the added cost may be worth it. It's also more responsive, so it's easier to move around on. Conversely, it has worse edge support, so if sturdy edges are a priority for you, you may prefer the Classic Hybrid.
