On aggregated owner reviews, Nectar scores higher: 4.7 against 4.6 out of 5.

Head to head

Nectar has sprung throughout, every model a hybrid; Hyde And Sleep has 2 of its 10 mattresses sprung and 6 all memory foam. Every Nectar mattress is medium, and Hyde And Sleep runs from medium to extra firm. Hyde And Sleep covers more of the firmness scale, which helps if two sleepers need different feels. Nectar is clearly the cheaper way in; Hyde And Sleep's range starts well above it. At the top end Hyde And Sleep goes further still. Nectar's owner score rests on far more reviews (4,334 against 955), so treat Hyde And Sleep's number as the less settled of the two.

Nectar

Nectar is one of the biggest direct-to-consumer mattress brands in the UK, part of the Resident Home group that also owns DreamCloud. The brand launched in the US and expanded to the UK with a focused proposition: a well-made memory foam mattress sold direct at competitive pricing, backed by the longest trial period available in the UK market. Nectar's UK catalogue splits into memory foam and hybrid pocket spring builds, each sold in a Classic and a Premier tier, covering the all-foam and hybrid pocket spring buyer profiles.

What defines Nectar in the market is not the mattress technology itself, which is competent but not unique, but the buyer protection terms wrapped around it. A 365-night home trial and a Forever Warranty that covers the original buyer for life are both category-leading and are the primary reason most UK buyers put Nectar on their shortlist.

Hyde And Sleep

Still fairly new to the mattress-industry, the Hyde and Sleep brand was the first real attempt from Dreams to get into the popular and saturated bed in a box segment, going head to head with the likes of Simba, Nectar and Otty. The main selling point of the brand is that they are able to offer a market leading sleep solution at a cheaper price than equivalent models in the existing Dreams lineup thanks to reduced logistical issues and reduced delivery costs. Having won multiple industry awards, the Hyde and Sleep range frequently tops charts in comfort and support.

Nectar owner satisfaction

The 365-night trial is the single most important satisfaction driver for Nectar and the one thing that separates the brand from almost every direct-to-consumer rival. Most competitors offer 100 to 200 nights. Nectar gives you a full year, which is enough time to sleep through seasonal temperature changes and genuinely assess whether the mattress suits your body. Returns within the trial period are collected free of charge and the refund process has been reliable on the cases we have followed.

Side sleepers consistently rate Nectar highest among the buyer profiles we track, because the memory foam comfort layer cradles the shoulder and hip more effectively than most hybrid alternatives at similar prices. Back sleepers also report strong satisfaction. The main area where feedback dips is temperature, with the all-foam Memory model sleeping warmer than the Hybrid or than competing spring-based alternatives.

Nectar supportiveness

The Nectar Memory uses a breathable foam top layer over pressure-relieving memory foam and a zoned support base. The feel sits at medium firm and the foam contours to the body in the classic memory foam way, distributing weight evenly and reducing pressure at the shoulders and hips. For side sleepers and back sleepers of average weight, the support profile works well without feeling too firm or too soft.

The Nectar Hybrid adds a pocket spring core beneath the foam comfort layers. The springs bring structural support, edge stability and airflow that the all-foam Memory model lacks. Heavier sleepers over around sixteen stone should look at the Hybrid rather than the Memory, because the pocket spring core handles higher body weights without the compression that an all-foam build can suffer under heavier loads.

Nectar durability

Nectar uses memory foam at reasonable densities across the range, and the Forever Warranty is the strongest signal of how confident the brand is in the long-term performance of its products. The warranty covers the original buyer for as long as they own the mattress, which is longer than any other UK mattress warranty we are aware of. Standard conditions apply around proper use and a supportive base, but the headline coverage is really lifelong.

Being owned by Resident Home gives Nectar the corporate infrastructure to honour that warranty at scale, which matters because a lifetime warranty from a small standalone brand carries less practical weight than one from a group with multiple brands and established operations. The foam quality is consistent with what a mattress at this price tier should deliver, and the Hybrid model adds pocket spring longevity to the foam layers above.

Nectar best offers

We've managed to find the following top deals from across the web on Nectar mattresses.

Hyde And Sleep owner satisfaction

Owner satisfaction across the lineup is good. Comfort and support are what the reviews praise most, and back pain comes up often on the positive side; one owner wrote that it “has made such a difference to my back pain”. The gripes are a feel some found too firm (“I thought I want a hard mattress but this is too hard”), a chemical smell that took weeks to clear for a few, and dipping on the Original. Temperature splits owners: “surprisingly cool to sleep on” for one, “very hot in the summer” for another.

Hyde And Sleep supportiveness

When it comes to support, Hyde and Sleep have two different support structures, one in the hybrid variety which combines foam and micro springs, and another focussing on pure foam. The tension within these models tends to be firmer than what you get with other manufacturers, with firm to very firm being commonplace across the majority of the segment. Back pain comes up in the reviews mostly on the positive side, one owner writing that “My backache has nearly gone”, though a front sleeper on the Hybrid Ice found it “did not prevent this back ache and stiff spine”.

Hyde And Sleep durability

Durability and longevity are both areas that are key to good quality control. The guarantee offered on Hyde and Sleep mattresses is 5 years. The reviews are less reassuring than that figure: a run of owners, nearly all on the Original, report dipping or softening inside the first year or two, one writing that it “slowly started to lose all of its support” after a good first month and was replaced two years on.

Owner reviews of Nectar mattresses

5 Kate S.

My partner and I had the goal to get ourselves a king bed and after hearing good feedback from friends and coworkers we decided Nectar was going to be the one. I experience daily back pain (moderate to constant aching) and knew I wanted something that would be firm enough in support but would also mold enough to my body to support my back (to be frank, I have a larger butt and so getting any support under my lower back requires a pillow typically). I try to sleep on my back to help with my back pain so that was important to me. It was also important that we didn't disrupt each other in the night while tossing and turning as we really value our sleep. The hybrid model is perfect. The king size of course is great for space but even more, due to the memory foam qualities I don't feel it at all when my partner moves in his sleep (he doesn't move often but when he does he sort of flops around so it always woke me up). The combination of the memory foam and the coils is such a great balance of support with softness still. And sleeping on my back is amazing (I almost can't fall asleep any other way now). The memory foam allows you to sink into the bed just enough for it to almost mold to your body and you feel as though you settle in, but the density of the foam in addition to the the coils , provides such great support. I'd never slept on anything besides a traditional springy bed on a box spring so this mattress did take some getting used to. My partner and I took a little over a month, I'd estimate, until we were absolutely sure we loved it. We are so happy with this mattress so far!!! Of course I can't speak to the longevity of the product but I'm not too worried about that based on other reviews I've read. The price was also so great! It's rare to find a king mattress at this price let alone a really good one. Cannot say enough good things about my Nectar.

My wife and I were researching new mattresses for about two months and read over 20 reviews before choosing Nectar’s Premier Hybrid 2. 1 mattress. Some of the reviews stated their reviewers thought the Nectar Premier Hybrid 2. 1 slept “warm to hot,” which was a significant concern of ours. However, the vast majority of the reviews rated the Nectar mattress as their number one pick overall. We now understand why! Until this purchase, we've never purchased a mattress online. However, due to bad experiences shopping retail mattress stores, we both expressed great reluctance to subject ourselves to shopping for a new mattress in a brick and mortar store. Nectar’s "365-Night Trial" and “Forever Warranty” made our decision easier. We’re so glad we chose the Nectar Premier Hybrid 2. 1! We also purchased a Th*** platform bed frame with headboard. After almost two months living with our Nectar mattress and Th*** bed, we’ve found the mattress DOES NOT sleep "warm to hot”! We feel the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress is sort of the "Momma Bear Mattress"… not too cool, not too warm… just right! Our mattress is relatively firm, our rating would be maybe a 7 to 8 on a scale of 10. But it's a very comfortable firmness that slowly softens after a few minutes to a 6 or 7. Now my wife and I are sleeping better, sleeping through the night, and we both hate to get out of bed in the morning! We’re both very pleased we chose the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress!

Let's start with the Customer Service. The mattress was scheduled for delivery but I had a last minute change to my schedule. Customer Service quickly responded to my request and reschedule delivery for a few days after I returned. No hassle, no angst. As with any boxed mattress, it was a bit of a struggle to get it into the house; after all, it IS kind of heavy. I also had to get our other mattress out of the way. My son helped me with that chore. Unboxing and installing the new mattress was, actually, fairly easy. I did this by myself: and I am 68 years old. It most certainly would have been easier with two people. . . The MOST important thing, though, is how well am I sleeping. This is among the most comfortable mattresses I've ever experienced. I have an arthritic right shoulder and, typically, when I sleep on my right side the shoulder and arm go numb. That has not happened with my new mattress. It has just the right amount of support for my 215 pounds, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it helps keep me just the right temperature. We've had nights with temperatures in the low 50's and I've had the windows open; I was comfortable. We've had nights with temperatures in the 80's and the air conditioning is set to 75 degrees; I was comfortable. I'm so pleased with this mattress and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this for my 60lb 8-year old in twin size. I normally lay down with him to read for a while before bed and was excited to have a comfy new mattress as was he. We were both disappointed when we realized this mattress was as firm as a brick on either side, even for my 190 lb self. I will be looking for a mattress topper on Amazon, as it is quite uncomfortable to lay on.

1 Alissa M.

The mattress is fantastic! We bought it for our son & are so jealous. I’m giving one star because I think this company can afford to be more generous with discounts especially for returning customers. I don’t think you can expect to get a review without a little generosity. Just some feedback for your marketing team to consider. But like I said. . fantastic matress!! Would buy only this brand if the price point wasn’t so high

looked around.. so many options.. all different prices. We saw this one.. the design was exactly what we were looking for and the price.. was a bit cheap to be honest.. I wondered if we were going to the end up with something flimsy and cheap.. we didn't! This bed is amazing.. the quality is top notch. Gorgeous thick headboard in luxurious fabric.. same on the bed base. The mattress is firm and comfy. No "rolling together" or anything. It is a thick mattress.. no buttons or springs to be felt. We love it. The only thing we did was get some anti slip Matt to put under the mattress to stop or slipping around. I'm a fidget.. that's the only reason why. Fabulous bed.. comfy and quality. I would recommend it to everyone. Lovely delivery guys as well brought it upstairs for us. Service with a smile. Professional. kept me informed of the delivery time as well. Thank you very much ????

Overall, very happy with the mattress. I selected it based on the advice from going on the bed in store that assesses your sleeping position. I think I’ve previously had medium mattresses and this one comes up as firm, but I find it soft and supportive. I’m used to a sprung base with foam topper, despite the description making me think this had some sort of micro spring set up it does seem to be essentially all foam. I’m a lot less aware of my husband moving around in his sleep so I guess the foam set up is working. Two small problems that I have with it - firstly it recommends you rotate on a weekly basis for the first three months but it’s really awkward to rotate. There are some handles but they’re underneath the mattress rather than on the side. It’s quite a dense mattress and pretty much a deadweight to try and rotate. The second irritation is that the sheet and mattress protector won’t stay in place. The texture of the mattress cover is particularly slippery and correctly sized fitted sheet keeps on shifting.

The mattress seemed firmer than the one tested in the store. I phoned customer services two days after I received the mattress to have this logged. I chose this mattress as I was experiencing joint pain when waking from sleep on my original mattress. I have to say I don’t experience joint pain in the morning now. How the mattress regulates heat I am unsure my wife experiences hot flushes at times and the cooling properties the mattress makes no difference. But no mattress can regulate for hot flushes for to menopause. The edges are firm and hold shape when getting in and out of bed. There is no roll together and the mattress memory foam returns to shape when out of bed. My previous mattress had visible indentations showing where my wife and I sleeped after only a few weeks of use. So I am impressed with this but will be looking out for this over the next few months.

Really disappointed with the amount of "off gassing" that has happened with this mattress. The smell was awful for the first two days. It very gradually decreased over the first week but we had to have the door shut to the room that the mattress was in and had to keep the windows open for 6 days as the smell was so strong throughout our house otherwise. It took 9 days until we could bear the smell enough to actually try sleeping on the mattress. The chemical small was still pretty strong and the first night sleeping on the mattress I woke up in the night coughing and my partner woke up with a sore throat due to the off gassing fumes. The mattress itself seems comfortable so far, but after having it for 11 days we have only slept on it twice (due to the smell) so I cannot fully comment on the comfort yet. The "ice" element of the mattress is quite cold against the skin which I didn't appreciate when I lay on the mattress in store (as was wearing a coat), so we have purchased a thick mattress protector to feel warm during the winter. Hopefully in the summer this feature will be more useful. We are not overly sensitive to smells but anyone sensitive or who suffers from asthma or allergies should take this into consideration before thinking about purchasing this mattress! Especially if you need to use the mattress as soon as you have purchased it. I expected that there might be some slight odour for a couple of days, but the intense chemically smell from this mattress has been terrible for a prolonged period.

We have had two of these mattresses (having returned the first one because it had a mark on it). Both of them smelt terrible. I can't believe more reviewers don't mention this in their reviews. We slept on the first mattress for a week whilst waiting for it to be replaced, but the smell was awful and both us and the bedding smelt strongly of chemicals. When we received the replacement, we moved into the spare room and aired the mattress - we left it uncovered and regularly opened the windows (in temperatures of 1 degree!) and then reheated the room to try and draw as much 'off gas' out of the mattress as possible. 3 weeks later, we still hadn't slept on the bed and the smell was still strong enough for us to arrange to return it to Dreams. Dreams seem to advise airing these mattresses for 4 hours, but 3 weeks wasn't sufficient. We really wanted to keep the mattress because we had found the first one very comfortable but we couldn't stomach the smell and couldn't believe it would ever disappear. Dreams customer service were very good and we are buying a further mattress from them from a different brand.
