The Nectar Classic is the memory foam mattress Nectar built its name on, now sold under the Classic name. It's 25cm deep with five layers: a cooling cover, a breathable support layer, pressure-relieving memory foam, a seven-zone base and a non-slip base. It's medium firm, 6.5 on Nectar's 10-point firmness scale. If you like a slow, cradling feel with firmer support underneath, it's a straightforward choice. If you prefer a springy, responsive surface, a hybrid will suit you better.

Why should you choose this mattress?
The main draw is pressure relief with proper support underneath. The memory foam moulds to your shape, which means less pressure on your hips and shoulders when you sleep on your side, while the seven-zone base gives firmer support where your body is heaviest. Nectar has also worked on the warmth memory foam is known for: the cover is designed to wick heat away and carries MTick certification for menopause-friendly cooling, and a breathable foam layer helps air move. The terms add reassurance, with a 365-night trial from Nectar and its Forever Warranty, which replaces the mattress for faults within the first 10 years and repairs it after that.
Key features & layer details
Soft cooling cover
A menopause-friendly cover designed to wick heat away and encourage airflow, which means less heat building up at the surface.
Dynamic support layer
A breathable foam layer that helps regulate temperature and adds some responsive bounce, so changing position feels easier.
Pressure-relieving memory foam
Contouring memory foam that adapts to your shape, which means hips, shoulders and joints are cushioned as you settle in.
Seven-zone supportive base
A castellated support foam with seven zones, which means firmer support where you're heaviest and help keeping your spine aligned.
Positioning base
A non-slip layer that grips the bed frame, so the mattress stays in place.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The memory foam adapts to your shape, which means less pressure on your hips and shoulders when you lie on your side.
Combination sleepers
A medium-firm feel with a breathable support layer that adds some bounce makes it easier to change position through the night.
Warm sleepers
A cooling cover with MTick certification for menopause-friendly cooling and a breathable foam layer help heat escape, so it should feel less stuffy than older memory foam designs.
Couples
Memory foam absorbs movement, so a partner turning over or getting up early is less likely to disturb you.
If you prefer a springy, easy-to-move-on surface, the slow sink of memory foam will feel too enveloping, and a hybrid with pocket springs may suit you better. If you want a soft, sink-in mattress, the medium-firm feel may seem a little solid. And if natural materials matter to you, this is an all-synthetic foam build.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.
