Our Verdict
Saatva Latex Hybrid
Nectar Classic Hybrid
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is a better mattress than the Nectar Classic Hybrid. It offers significantly better edge support than the Nectar, which extends the comfortable sleeping surface and makes it easier to get in and out of bed. Additionally, it's more responsive, allowing for easier movement around or changes in sleeping positions. The Saatva is also more cooling. It transfers enough heat to keep even hot sleepers cool. That said, the Nectar offers better motion dissipation, so if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns, you may still prefer it.
