And although it’s not specifically a cooling mattress, the coils do an excellent job of promoting good airflow. Motion isolation is surprisingly good for a hybrid mattress and edge support isn’t bad, although we did notice a slight slope at the edges. Conversely, the mattress isn’t firm enough for heavier weight stomach sleepers, whose hips may sink too far into the mattress meaning that their spines won’t be aligned.
We did feel that the mattress was too firm for lightweight side sleepers, who are likely to feel some pressure build up at the shoulders due to not sinking into the mattress. The firmer feel of the mattress helps to keep the spine aligned, which is crucial to preventing pressure points from building up. Although Nectar rates the mattress at 6/6.5 out of 10, we’d put it at 6.5/7 out of 10 – it’s a slightly firmer mattress that offers great support for back sleepers and lighter to average weight stomach sleepers.
