Our Verdict
Nectar Classic Hybrid
Novaform Legacy
The Novaform Legacy is better than the Nectar Classic Hybrid for most people. The Novaform is more cooling, offers better motion dissipation, and has a more responsive feel. It also uses more good-quality foam, making it more durable. On the other hand, the Nectar offers significantly better edge support, so it's more comfortable to sit or sleep on the edge of the mattress.
