Which is better for side sleepers?

The Nectar Classic is described as great for side and back sleepers, and its medium-firm contouring relieves pressure at hips and shoulders. The TEMPUR-Adapt's medium TEMPUR foam also cushions pressure well, but its deeper sink-in suits people who like that feel.

Is the Tempur-Pedic worth the extra money?

Only if you want genuine TEMPUR foam and a removable cover with a 10-year non-prorated warranty. The Nectar recently sold as low as $333.38, so the gap is large, and no current Tempur-Pedic price was given to compare.

The Nectar has a cool-to-the-touch cover and cooling fibers, which gives it the edge on paper. The TEMPUR-Adapt has a cooling stretch knit cover, but TEMPUR foam is known to retain body heat.

The TEMPUR-Adapt backs its foam with a 10-year non-prorated warranty. Nectar does not state a warranty in the given specs, so the Tempur-Pedic is the safer bet on documented durability.

Can I use either on an adjustable bed?

The Nectar Classic is listed for adjustable beds. The TEMPUR-Adapt is not listed as adjustable-bed compatible, so check with the seller before pairing it with one.

How do the heights compare?

The Nectar is 12 inches thick and the TEMPUR-Adapt is 11 inches. Both are queen size at 60 by 80 inches.
