Final Verdict: Is Nectar or Lull the Best Mattress?

If you’re still on the fence about which is the right mattress for you, choose whichever one best aligns with your most urgent sleep needs; specifically, consider your sleeping position, budget, sleep environment, and preferred buying experience.

Sleeping Position

Mattresses with a medium-firm feel work well for all sleeping positions because they combine the benefits of soft and firmer mattresses. Side sleepers need good pressure relief, and both beds provide that. The Lull scored slightly higher than the Nectar for pressure relief. 

The Lull also scored higher for spinal alignment, which is important for all sleepers, especially stomach sleepers. Sleeping facedown already puts a lot of stress on the neck, so alignment of the rest of the spine helps to prevent further tension in the mid and lower back region. Back sleepers also need good spinal alignment, so the Lull is the better option.

Lull and Nectar scored about the same for responsiveness, so either bed will adjust to the frequent changes in positions of combination sleepers. 

Budget

The Lull is the less expensive option. You save between $74-$299 when you buy one of their beds versus a Nectar bed. Still, the prices aren’t drastically different, so we recommend shopping for comfort level over cost. 

Both companies offer financing through Affirm, so you can make monthly payments instead of the full sum upfront. They also both run occasional discounts, so check back for mattress coupons and seasonal discounts.

Sleep Environment

Two major considerations that shoppers have when buying a memory foam mattress are heat and motion transfer. Traditional memory foam tends to trap body heat in the top foam layer. The stored heat causes the sleeper to get even warmer and emits even more heat. It’s a toasty cycle that most people would like to avoid. 

The Lull and Nectar mattresses incorporate breathable covers and gel-infused foam layers, which is an effort to bring down the overall temperature beneath your sheets. Even so, neither scored exceptionally high in our cooling assessment. They didn’t score low either, so we recommend that hot sleepers use cooling sheets and consider positioning these beds near a fan, open window, or A/C unit.

Motion transfer is another major factor for couples. Mattresses with high scores on motion transfer absorb movement from one side of the bed before it reaches the other side. Both mattresses scored high in this category. Light sleepers and couples may prefer the Lull since it scored slightly higher than the Nectar.  

Buying Experience

A mattress company’s buying experience includes shipping, delivery, sleep trial, and warranty. Both companies take the cake here. They give you 365 days to test out their bed so that you have plenty of time to make an informed decision.

In addition to their generous sleep trials, both companies offer lifetime warranties. Nectar and Lull also offer free shipping and returns, except in Alaska and Hawaii.

We’re confident that you’ll get a good night’s sleep on either of these beds. One isn’t necessarily better than the other, so choose the one that works best for you!
