Because Nectar and Tuft & Needle have so much in common, there are just a few criteria to look for when choosing which mattress is right for you. For some factors to consider, see lower.

Hardness: None of these mattresses offer multiple firmness options, so you’ll have to rely on the brand’s determination of firmness. Nectar doesn’t say much about its firmness levels (all models are listed as “medium firm”), while Tuft & Needle goes into a bit more detail. However, fitness and well-being are subjective and will largely depend on how you feel when you sleep in bed at home. This is where the legal process comes into play.

Air permeability: Both Nectar and Tuft & Needle claim to make mattresses that defy memory foam’s reputation as a hot sleeping surface. However, if breathability is your goal, the hybrid construction will take mattress airflow to the next level. Tuft & Needle has one hybrid model, and Nectar offers the ability to convert any of its beds into a hybrid.

Trial period: This is one of the key differences between Tuft & Needle and Nectar. If you’re picky about your mattress (as you should be!), you’ll want to consider the fact that Tuft & Needle offers a 100-day sleep trial, while Nectar gives you a whole year to test your mattress.
