According to our tester: “After sitting in the same spot for about 10 minutes, and moving off the spot for just a couple more, I was surprised to find the previously toasty spot felt completely cool.” While it did temporarily hold onto warmth, it was able to diffuse it pretty quickly. Like the DreamCloud, the Nectar mattress also slept relatively cool. Our tester said the surface was plush, but didn’t make her feel like she was drowning in quicksand, a feeling you might get with a traditional memory foam mattress.
The Nectar mattress was much softer, which could be great for a side sleeper. Even by the time they fully rose-close to the end of her monthlong sleep trial-the edges didn’t feel sturdy or supportive when she perched on the corner or side of the bed. It puffed up in the middle, but the edges lacked integrity. Unfortunately, she found the surface of the mattress uneven for a prolonged period after she unboxed it.
The mattress doesn’t claim to have any special cooling materials, so this might have something to do with the extra airflow created by the mattress’ coils. Our tester put the DreamCloud on the firmer end of the mattress spectrum, which she prefers as a stomach sleeper. The DreamCloud's scalloped surface has a slight sheen that adds to its luxury feel.
