How Firm is the Nectar Classic Mattress?
Using our firmness guide (where 1 is cloud-like soft and 10 is maximum support), the Nectar Classic earns an excellent 7/10. It strikes a wonderful balance and offers the ideal support for those who prefer a solid sleeping surface. It’s just a hint firmer than the industry’s medium-firm standard (6.5/10), which is fantastic for healthy spinal alignment!
While it features a layer of memory foam, the Nectar Classic delivers a refreshingly responsive feel. You won’t feel stuck! Instead, you get instant comfort combined with necessary support. You’ll enjoy a pleasing initial cushion and a gentle contour, while remaining mostly “on top” of the mattress for effortless repositioning. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who wants the benefits of foam without the deep, sometimes overwhelming, sinking feeling!
