Nectar Lush Mattress Review : How Soft is It?

The Nectar mattress is one of the most popular and highly rated online mattress brands. It gets top marks among all the best mattress review sites because it is so accomodating to different types of sleepers and is a great value especially if you factor in their 365-night trial and Forever Warranty. But what if you crave a mattress that is super soft and cradles you to offer the ultimate in pressure relief? That’s where the Nectar Lush comes in. I received a free queen size Nectar Lush for review to see for myself how it compares. This mattress is designed to give you a feeling like you are being hugged and cradled. Other brands now have a luxury offering but it may not always be the upgrade you think it is. In this review we look at the benefits of the Nectar Lush and who should consider it for purchasing.

Overview of the Nectar Lush

Here’s a video overview of the Nectar Lush. It’s much easier to watch this video and see for yourself how the mattress reacts to get a good sense of how it will feel.

How Much Does the Nectar Lush Cost?

Below are the prices of the Nectar Lush. It is certainly more than the original Nectar but still a good value.

Construction of the Nectar Lush Mattress

There isn’t a whole lot of detail on the densities of foam used in each later but from what I could tell it is quality foam.

I thought that this mattress would take longer to come to shape because it is softer than the original and there’s just more foam that needs to decompress, but that wasn’t really the case. I was able to lay on this mattress about 45 minutes after opening it. Yes, there was some off-gassing but not as much as I would expect with an all-foam mattress. Keep in mind that you may notice more off-gassing than me because everyone has different sensitivities but even so, I would expect most of the off-gassing to dissipate within 24 hours.

Here you can see how easy it sinks down into the mattress. You will notice the pressure relief right away. It will also be slower to recover but since it does contour so well, you won’t be moving around much anyway.

There isn’t as much edge support on this mattress as a typical spring mattress but I didn’t feel like I was going to roll off either. A lot of people ask me about edge support because they put their shoes on at the side of the bed. I’m not sure why that’s such a big concern since your bed is primarily used for sleeping but nevertheless it is a concern I hear more than I would have expected. So although you may not enjoy putting your shoes on with this mattress, the trade-off is that it sleeps well.

Here’s a picture of me lying on my side. You can easily see how this mattress contours.

Here’s you can see me lying on my back. This mattress is great for back sleeping too.

I didn’t really like sleeping on my stomach on this mattress. I would go with the original Nectar instead if you are a dedicated stomach sleeper.

My Final Thoughts on the Nectar Lush

Shopping for a new mattress is more confusing than ever. There are hundreds of online brands to choose from, not to mention the hundreds of brands available in stores. However, Nectar has made a name for itself as a brand that consumers and reviewers choose. Not only because it feels great but you also have an industry-leading 365-night trial and a 10-year warranty. I recommend the Nectar Lush for people that know they like the feel of memory foam and want a softer mattress that is great at relieving pressure points. Side sleepers will reap the most benefit from this mattress followed by back sleepers. Stomach sleepers should take a look at the original Nectar instead.
