Ranked #4 in Best Memory Foam Mattresses Queen

Nectar Premier

4.2

7 sources$3,396as of Jul 5

The Nectar Premier is a remodel of the brand's popular memory foam model, now with 60% more cooling fibers and twice the pressure-relieving memory foam of its predecessor. Reviewers noted strong lumbar support and pressure relief, and the mattress is 100% fiberglass-free, which answers an earlier complaint. It runs slightly softer than standard while still holding the body and contouring well. Free shipping, a one-year trial, and a lifetime warranty come with it. Buyers looking for comfort and support in balance will do well, though hot sleepers may find the cooling falls short of what they hoped.

Strengths

— 60% more cooling fibers than the Nectar Classic
— Double the amount of pressure relieving memory foam compared to the Nectar Classic
— 13-inch tall all-foam construction with therapeutic memory foam

Watch-outs

— Cooling cover did not feel cool to the touch
— Slightly softer than industry standard

Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)

4.5

5 sources$624as of Jul 5

The Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm) is a hybrid mattress built on foam layers rather than coils, so it reads as memory foam with a balanced, conforming surface. Reviewers broke the construction down: a thick layer of den support foam, transition foam that sets the firmness, and two memory foam layers under a quilted European pillow top. The feel is softer and more nuanced than a traditional memory foam mattress. Some reviewers raised concerns about heat retention and whether it supports heavier sleepers well enough. Side sleepers and anyone who wants a plush, conforming surface will get the most from it.

Strengths

— Features a hybrid construction with foam layers instead of coils, providing a memory foam feel
— Includes a thick layer of transition foam that determines the firmness profile
— Has a quilted European pillow top for added comfort and balance

Watch-outs

— May not provide enough support for heavier individuals or those who prefer firmer sleeping surfaces
— The memory foam layers may retain heat, potentially causing discomfort for hot sleepers

How they stack up

Nectar Premier

The Nectar Premier stands out for its 60% more cooling fibers and double the pressure-relieving memory foam compared to the Nectar Classic, but it's slightly softer than industry standard and lacks the cooling cover feel that the Leesa Original Mattress offers. Unlike the Saatva mattresses, it doesn't provide the premium hybrid construction or the three firmness options that make Saatva more versatile.

Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)

The Saatva Loom & Leaf provides a softer, more conforming feel compared to the Nectar Premier, which offers more cooling fibers. It's not as supportive for heavier individuals as the Saatva Classic, which features dense memory foam and sturdy coils. Unlike the Leesa Original Mattress, it doesn't offer the same level of cooling performance.
