Our Verdict

Nectar Premier

Nectar Premier Hybrid

The Nectar Premier Hybrid and the Nectar Premier perform very similarly. Aside from the design difference, the most notable difference is that the all-foam Premier offers a more responsive feel, making it slightly easier to move around on. The Hybrid's slightly less bouncy and firmer memory foam comfort layer is less contouring, so it doesn't mold around your body as much as the all-foam version's. The Hybrid's foam layers are also made of higher-density foam, which is slightly more durable. However, both mattresses use a mix of good and lower-quality foam.
