Nectar Lush Performance Highlights

✅ Pros

• Cooling: People who tend to wake up hot and sweaty at night will enjoy the Nectar Lush’s phase change material cover and gel memory foam layer to keep cool.
• Pressure Relief: People with back, hip, or shoulder pain should look for a mattress with pressure point relief. The Nectar Lush contours to your body in just the right way to ease that pressure causing pain.
• Durability: The Nectar Lush mattress uses extra dense support foam layers to make sure your mattress lasts; they even offer a forever warranty to back up their claim.

❌ Cons

• Responsiveness: Though a 7.5 is not a bad score, people who tend to move around a lot in their sleep may find the Nectar Lush a bit restrictive. Once it does adapt to your new position, though, it is very easy to get comfortable.
• Off-Gassing: Be aware that your Nectar Lush mattress may have a slight scent as you unbox it. This is normal with bed-in-a-box mattresses and should fade throughout the day.
• Materials Sourced Outside the United States: Nectar mattresses are not fully made here in the U.S. The mattress materials and products are sourced from around the world. The materials are then constructed into mattresses overseas and sent to Kent, Washington. In Kent, they are packaged and shipped to your front door.

Edge Support

Edge support is one of those things you don’t know you need until you don’t have it. This is especially true if you’re the type to sit on the edge of the bed to get ready or if you sleep there comfortably.

Memory foam mattresses, like the Nectar Lush, aren’t exactly known for having the best edge support. Usually, a mattress with reinforced innersprings or pocketed coils offers more resistance against your weight on the edge of the bed. That said, the Nectar Lush scored a rather impressive 8.5 on this test, meaning you can sit on the edge of the bed without fear of sliding off.

Motion Transfer

Feeling every movement as your sleep partner tosses and turns? No more with the Nectar Lush. The support and base layers deliver on the ultimate comfort promise. The support layer is made from dense transitional foam, giving bounce reminiscent of latex or a pocket coil system, but not too much where there is motion transfer. The base layer adds another row of dense memory foam that works to support and stabilize the layers above while also absorbing motion so that it does not reverberate through the bed’s surface.

Cooling

Nectar Lush is pretty cool for a foam bed. The cooling starts with the outer cover. The polyethylene material draws heat away from your body, creating a “cool-to-the-touch” feel for the cover.

Directly under it lies 3″ of surface-infused phase change gel atop the memory foam. The cover alternates using nylon and polyethylene yarns, enhancing the benefits of the phase change materials. The PCM layer regulates body temperature by drawing heat away from the body when you’re hot and giving that heat back when you’re cold. That’s all just a fancy way to say you give the bed your body heat, and the bed gives you cooling materials back.

How Firm is the Nectar Lush?

The Nectar Lush is a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it a medium-firm mattress. This firmness is a great fit for most sleep positions, especially among average-weight people (people over 230 lbs generally need more firmness).

Does Nectar Lush Match Your Sleeping Position?

The Lush mattress fits almost every sleeping position:

• The comfort layer as a whole eases pressure point areas by cradling and contouring to your body, something side sleepers particularly need.
• The medium-firm feel should accommodate back sleepers and some average-weight stomach sleepers.
• Combination sleepers may want to look for a mattress with a higher responsiveness score.

Does It Sleep Cool?

Made with gel memory foam and a cool-to-the-touch phase change mattress cover, the Nectar Lush sleep cooler than most memory foam mattresses that tend to trap body heat. However, innerspring beds and latex mattresses will naturally be cooler. For a more cooling mattress, check out our best mattresses for hot sleepers page.

How Much Weight Does it Support?

The Nectar Lush is designed to support about 750 lbs total, or 375 lbs on each side for two people sharing a queen size or larger.

Best Bed Frames for the Nectar Lush

The Nectar Lush mattress is compatible with all bed frames including box springs, slatted foundations, and adjustable bases. As long as the mattress is paired with a good, sturdy foundation, you shouldn’t have to worry about voiding the warranty.

Mattress Construction

The Nectar Lush mattress is made with premium foam layers and a removable outer cooling cover. All foams used in the Nectar Lush are CertiPUR-US certified.

Should You Buy the Nectar Lush?

We think the Nectar Lush is the mattress for you if you’ve been struggling to get a deeper night of sleep. It works great for all sleeping positions, people who wake up with aches and pains, plus people who want a memory foam mattress without the overheating effects. On top of all of that, you have a whole year to try out the mattress.

If you prefer that classic, traditional feel of a mattress with springs, we hear you; check out the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress instead. It offers great motion isolation, alignment, and edge support, plus it has springs.

Nectar Lush vs Other Memory Foam Mattresses

One of the most common complaints with traditional memory foam mattresses is that they trap heat, making it difficult to stay cool throughout the night. The Nectar Lush doesn’t have this problem, as it contains gel memory foam that helps keep the mattress from absorbing heat and a noticeably cool-to-the-touch cover.

Nectar Lush vs Original Nectar Memory Foam

Like the Lush, the original Nectar mattress also has a gel memory foam build, but we found the Lush to perform better in almost every way. In fact, the only tests in which the original outperformed the Lush were edge support, responsiveness, and durability. The original, however, is far more affordable than the Lush, coming in at just $999 for a queen. Check out our full Nectar mattress review for more details.
