Is the Nectar Classic Hybrid 5.1 good for side sleepers?

It is built as a firm mattress. Side sleepers who need deep cushioning at the shoulder and hip often find firm hybrids too hard, so test the feel before committing.

Do I need a box spring?

A foundation or box spring is sold separately. Nectar notes that buying a mattress and foundation from different brands may void the warranty, so check the warranty terms.

Does it work on an adjustable base?

Yes. The mattress is listed as adjustable base compatible, so it can be used on a power base.

How long until it is ready to sleep on?

It ships in a box and needs about 72 hours to fully expand after opening. Expect some odor and a softer feel as it settles.

What is inside the mattress?

Therapeutic memory foam, comfort and endurance support foams, and individually wrapped coils with edge support, under a cooling quilted poly-blend cover. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified.

How does it compare with an all-foam mattress?

The coils give it more bounce and firmer edges than an all-foam bed, while the memory foam layer still cushions pressure points. It feels firmer and more supportive than a typical foam mattress.
