What reviewers say about the Nectar Premier
One whitelisted hands-on source survived: Tom's Guide lab-tested the Nectar Premier Memory Foam and named it their favorite all-foam mattress (3.7/5 overall). Testers praise body-hugging side and back comfort, strong motion isolation and neutral heat, but flag it as too soft for stomach sleepers and the slowest of their five top-rated beds to shed heat.

Tested by Tom's Guide
Consistently praised
- Body-hugging contouring and pressure relief for side and back sleepers
- Strong motion isolation for couples thanks to dense slow-moving foam
- Stays neutral and doesn't trap body heat despite being all-foam memory foam
- Good value — queen stays under $1,000 with 365-night trial and lifetime warranty
Commonly flagged
- Too soft for stomach sleepers, can cause lower-back pain
- Slowest of the five top-rated beds to release heat (0.9°F/min, 15 min to recover)
- Longest pressure-relief recovery time (5s hip, 3.5s shoulder)
- 650 lb max weight capacity limits heavier couples
Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted hands-on source survived, so no cross-outlet comparison was possible. Even within Tom's Guide's own testing panel firmness was contested — the lead tester leaned firmer at 7/10 while a lightweight side-sleeper and a combi-sleeper found it softer than expected versus Nectar's own 6.5 claim.

Out of every all-foam mattress we've tested, the Nectar Premier Memory Foam is our favorite.
That said, I do think the Nectar Premier is too soft for stomach sleeping, to the point where it could result in some lower-back pain.
However, when our tester left the mattress, the Nectar Premier demonstrated the slowest cooling rate of our top five (0.9°F/min).
