The Nectar Premier Copper is the brand's premium mattress, made with advanced cooling features and extra support. Nectar is one of the brands featured in our best mattress guide, and in our Nectar mattress review we were hugely impressed with the flagship foam mattress. The Premier Copper is Nectar's most expensive mattress, although it's still fairly reasonably priced in the wider mattress world. So is it worth the extra cost? 

In this guide we'll give you all the details on price, comfort, support and quality to help you decide if the Nectar Premier Copper mattress is right for you; our guide to the signs you need a cooling mattress can also figure out whether a cooling bed would be a good buy for you. Read on to see what we think of the mattress and the kind of sleepers that it will suit best.

Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: At a glance

The Nectar Premier Copper mattress is aimed at hot sleepers who like the feel of a memory foam mattress, as it's designed to keep sleepers cool throughout the night. All-foam mattresses are known for trapping heat, but the Nectar Premier Copper has various cooling elements to stop this happening. We think it does an excellent job of this and even rate it as our best cooling mattress

Nectar Premier Copper specs

Type: Memory Foam
Trial period: 365 days
Warranty: Forever
Price MSRP: $1,399 – $2,898
Height: 14 inches
Firmness (1-10): 6.5 (Medium Firm)
User review rating: 4.8/5

The mattress is a whopping 14 inches tall, made up of a 9-inch base layer, 1-inch transitional foam and 4 inches of gel memory foam, with a cover made of a blend of copper fibers and polyethylene – the whole mattress aims to keep sleepers from overheating. We think it's particularly suited for side sleepers, who will feel cushioned and supported at pressure points. Lighter and average weight back sleepers will benefit from the gentle hug of this mattress as well, which isn't as soft as most memory foam options. 

It's not firm enough for stomach sleepers and those of a heavier build may find they sink into the mattress too far and feel uncomfortable. Nectar makes a hybrid version of the Premier Copper mattress, which will be more supportive for these sleepers. As this is a memory foam mattress, motion isolation is excellent but do be aware of the softer edge support. Overall though, this is a high-quality mattress.

Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: Design and materials

Consisting of five layers, the Nectar Premier Copper is full of materials to keep sleepers cool and comfortable. At the top is a poly-blend cover made of polyethylene and copper fibers, with the copper designed to wick away heat. Underneath is the 4-inch layer of gel memory foam, infused with phase changing materials. These materials allow the layer to adapt to your sleep temperature and the gel keeps the memory foam from feeling hot. This layer also contours to your body shape.

The 1-inch layer of transitional foam adds support and is back up by a 9-inch firm foam base for stability. This makes the mattress extremely solid and gives it structure. At the bottom is a cover that keeps the mattress in place on the floor. Whilst you can unzip and remove this cover, Nectar advises against it for the integrity of the mattress. All the foams used in the Premier Copper are CertiPUR certified, meaning they're free from harmful chemicals and heavy metals, as well as being environmentally friendly. 

Bafflingly for such a premium mattress, the cover is not machine washable and stains can only be spot treated. For this reason, we'd highly recommend investing in one of the
