Our Verdict
Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn
Nectar Classic Hybrid
The Nectar Classic Hybrid is better than the Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn for most people. They're both medium-firm mattresses with memory foam, which creates a slower-moving feel. However, the Nectar offers much better motion isolation, so your partner's movements aren't as likely to wake you. It's slightly more cooling, and while it's not extremely responsive, it's more responsive than the Sealy, so it's easier to change sleeping positions. That said, you may prefer the Sealy for its much better edge support performance.
