Which is better for side sleepers?

The Nectar Luxe. Its medium-plush foam and 14-inch build cushion shoulders and hips more than the medium-firm Best Choice.

Which is better for back and stomach sleepers?

The Best Choice Products 12-inch. Its medium-firm surface keeps the spine straighter for sleepers who don't need deep contouring.

Which one sleeps cooler?

The Nectar Luxe has a cooling cover and cooling fibers. The Best Choice relies on charcoal gel foam, which helps with heat and moisture but has no active cooling cover.

Both are CertiPUR-US foam mattresses with no published warranty here. The Nectar Luxe's thicker multi-layer build should hold its shape longer under daily use.

Do either come with a foundation?

No. Both are mattress-only and work on a box spring or adjustable base, sold separately.
