Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid Mattress Review

Anyone who’s ever struggled with overheating and sweating at night knows the importance of cooling features in a mattress. The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid mattress is designed with hot sleepers in mind, featuring copper fibers and individually wrapped coils that promote a cooler sleeping environment.

The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid is an innovative mattress that combines proprietary materials and high-quality craftsmanship that show in its comfort, versatility, and longevity.

In this review, we’ll talk about the construction of the Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid, its features, materials, pros, and cons, helping you figure out if it’s the right mattress for you.

This Nectar hybrid has a cool-to-the-touch cover that feels plush and somewhat stretchy. Lying on the bed, you can quickly feel the pushback and support coming from the lower foam layers and the coil unit. When you press it with your fingers, you can feel the gentle sinking. If you use your fist, you can push all the way to the base. However, you’ll also notice how quickly the bed bounces back, taking only a second or two to return to its original shape.

The Premier Copper Hybrid is a newer mattress from Nectar, and the brand doesn’t yet offer any precise information on how much weight the bed can handle. However, based on the bed’s firmness and construction, we’d say that those who weigh up to 275 pounds would be a good match. Sleepers who weigh more can still safely sleep on this Nectar, but they’d likely find it too soft and may even bottom out.

Side Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – This Nectar mattress should feel good for side sleepers weighing under 130 pounds. The hips and shoulders sink in just enough, but the spine stays straight.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – Average weight side sleepers should find the same balance of support and pressure relief. However, those closer to 200 pounds may sink deeper.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy sleepers will sink deeper into the foam layers, but they should find sufficient support in the mattress’s coil unit, which allows the spine to stay in a healthy posture.

Back Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers may feel like more “on” the mattress than “in” it, but they shouldn’t lack any pressure relief in the lumbar area.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – The average-weight people who prefer sleeping on their back should feel their weight evenly distributed across the mattress. The spine stays neutral, although they may feel more “in” the mattress than “on” it.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight people sleeping on their backs may sink deeper into the mattress, but they should still get sufficient support. That being said, some significantly heavier people may still prefer a firmer bed.

Stomach Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight stomach sleepers should feel well-supported because they don’t weigh enough to sink too deeply into the mattress, allowing their lower back to remain lifted.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight people, especially those weighing closer to 200 pounds, may feel their hips sinking too much into the first foam layers. Those closer to 130 pounds should find this Nectar comfortable.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight stomach sleepers may feel their hips and shoulders sinking too deeply, which can throw the spine out of alignment.

Nectar works to ensure that no pressure buildup will keep you up at night by incorporating multiple foam layers before the coil unit. The bed’s quilted cooling cover and 2 inches of memory foam underneath hug your body just enough to relieve pressure. The bed responds to your movements and adapts to your body in different positions to prevent pressure from building up on the shoulders, hips, and knees. This further complemented by the bed’s mid-range firmness.

Back Pain – People with back pain should like how Nectar’s first foam layers contour the back to relieve pressure and pain. The 2-inch memory foam hugs the body, but the coils give this bed structure to keep the spine straight.
Hip Pain – People struggling with hip pain usually prefer sleeping on their backs. The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid should relieve the tension in this area by contouring the hips without letting them sink too deep into the mattress.
Shoulder Pain – Sleepers with shoulder pain should avoid sleeping on their side. Those who do prefer sleeping on the side should like how this bed contours the shoulders and hips to prevent pain and pressure build-up.

Support is another crucial factor for all sleepers. Nectar offers excellent support as it has 8-inch edge-to-edge coils that support your body, following your movement as you reposition. The coils are individually-wrapped, so they move separately, which means you should get just the right support in the areas you need it the most.

Nectar’s support system helps the spine stay aligned at all times, promoting healthy sleep posture to reduce back pain. In addition, this mattress has a sturdy base layer that supports all the layers above to prevent sagging. However, its mid-range firmness may not be enough to support stomach sleepers, especially those weighing more than average.

The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid does an excellent job at isolating motion, especially considering it’s a hybrid model. This mattress has three foam layers sitting above the coil unit. These foams help isolate movement so you don’t feel your partner tossing and turning. Furthermore, the coils are individually wrapped to move independently, which makes it less likely any movement can be transferred from one side of the bed to the other.

This hybrid mattress has a dual-action cooling cover with copper fibers that allow it to remain cool to the touch throughout the night. In addition, the coils allow plenty of airflow to prevent the foam layers from overheating. As a result, the bed is breathable and suitable for hot sleepers and those living in warmer climates.

Couples should like how this hybrid isolates motion, which is always important if one partner is a restless sleeper. Plus, the bed’s cooling properties make it a suitable option for those who sleep in pairs, more so if one is a hot sleeper. Couples should also appreciate this mattress’s edge support as it gives them more space to sleep close to the edge without feeling like they could roll off.

One of the most outstanding things about this mattress is its dual-action cooling cover with copper fibers. The cover remains cool to the touch, promoting a more comfortable sleep environment for those who sleep hot.

The Premier Copper Hybrid is compressed and rolled into a box for easy shipment and maneuverability. When it arrives, all you have to do is move it to your bedroom and place it on a foundation of choice. In most cases, it takes about a day for the mattress to decompress before you can use it.

Apart from the cooling cover, this hybrid mattress has another feature that aids in breathability — the coil unit. Hybrids are typically breathable thanks to the coils that allow the air to circulate through the construction. This helps keep the upper foam layers from overheating.

The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid has coils across the entire surface. Although you may not feel as well supported as in the center of the bed, you should still be able to sit and sleep near the edge without feeling like you could roll out onto the floor.

Although all-foam mattresses are typically better at isolating motion, this Nectar bed does an equally excellent job. The bed has several foam layers before the coils, which help absorb motion, making it a good option for partners with different sleeping habits. Plus, the coils are individually-wrapped to further prevent motion transfer.

You can use this Nectar mattress with an adjustable base.

The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid is 14 inches tall and has five layers, a quilted cooling cover with copper fibers, and a shift-resistant base cover that prevents it from moving. The copper fibers give this bed its name while also helping with temperature regulation and cooling. In addition, the cover has an antimicrobial finish, so it’s resistant to dust mites and mold. Although it’s not removable, spot-cleaning should be simple enough depending on the stain.

• Below the cover is the 2-inch contouring memory foam that conforms to your body and cushions pressure points like the shoulders, hips, and knees.
• Further down is the 2-inch ActiveLift HD layer made of ultra-supportive foam that supports the body and helps keep your spine aligned.
• The transition layer has an inch of premium foam that adds some bounce for easy repositioning while also acting as a transition to the coil unit.
• The innerspring layer has 8-inch individually-wrapped coils that act as the main support for your body and the foam layers above. The edge-to-edge coils respond to your curves while providing excellent edge support.
• The final layer has an inch of foam that adds support and stability to the upper layers.

The lower cover is shift-resistant to prevent the mattress from sagging and sliding on the bed foundation. In addition, it has handles to make it easy to move the Nectar should you want to change foundations.

The Premier Copper Hybrid is shipped in a box, which means it’s also compressed and rolled. Once it arrives, remove it from the box and carefully remove the plastic wrapping. The mattress isn’t as cumbersome when in a box, but it may still be too heavy to carry without someone’s help. For this reason, it’s best to have a friend or family member help you carry it from your doorstep to the bedroom. If not, you can opt for White Glove Delivery for an additional fee.

Once you unpack it, you may notice some off-gassing as the mattress decompresses to its full size. This smell should dissipate, however, within a day or two.

• Eco-Friendly Certifications – The foams in this bed are CertiPUR-US® certified. CertiPUR-US® is a third-party program that ensures the foams meet rigorous health and safety standards. This means they don’t contain harmful substances like ozone depleters, PBDEs, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates. They should also have low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

• The Premier Copper Hybrid is one of three newer hybrid models from Nectar. The brand also recently launched hybrid versions of their flagship Nectar mattress and the Nectar Premier.

• Shipping – Shipping is free within the United States. The company also ships to Alaska and Hawaii for an additional fee.
• White-Glove Delivery – Nectar offers White-Glove delivery at checkout. For an additional fee, the service providers deliver and set up the mattress and can even remove your old one.
• Trial – The company offers an industry-leading 365-night trial, allowing customers plenty of time to test how they like sleeping on this bed.
• Warranty – There is a lifetime warranty on this Nectar bed.
• Return Policy – Returns are free within the trial period. If you live outside of the contiguous USA, returns are still free, but you may have to pay a shipping fee.

The Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid is 14 inches tall, which is a good height for people who don’t want a mattress that’s too low or too high. The mattress fits well on most foundations without looking too bulky or thin.

This Nectar mattress is rated 5.5-6.5 on our firmness scale, which is a golden middle for most sleepers. The mid-range firmness makes it a good fit for side and back sleepers, although some stomach sleepers may also like it if they weigh less than 130 pounds.

Copper is added to the Nectar’s cover for maximum cooling. As a natural heat-conducting material, the inclusion of copper should help hot sleepers achieve a better night’s sleep.

You don’t need a box spring for the Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid, but you can use one if you want. The mattress works with most foundations, including adjustable bases for those who want a more customized feel.
