If you prefer the slow-sink, body-hugging feel of memory foam over the bounce of a hybrid, Nectar is the pick. Its multi-layer all-foam build delivers a medium-firm feel that relieves pressure well for side and back sleepers, and motion transfer is minimal, which suits couples. The headline features are commercial rather than physical: a 365-night trial and Nectar's Forever Warranty are among the most generous terms in the UK market, so there is almost no risk in trying one. As with all foam mattresses it runs warmer and offers softer edges than a sprung hybrid.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Excellent contouring and low motion transfer
  • 365-night trial, among the longest available
  • Forever Warranty for as long as you own it

Cons

  • Runs warmer than sprung hybrids
  • Softer edge support typical of all-foam builds
