Saatva Vs. Nectar: Which Mattress Will Give You The Best Sleep?

Dr. Avinesh Bhar, M.D. MBA, a physician board-certified in sleep and pulmonary medicine and founder of Sliiip, an integrated sleep, and pulmonary telemedicine practice, shares that a good night’s sleep sets the tone for your whole day.

“Good sleep helps preserve our physical and mental well-being,” Bhar says. “We are seeing an increasing connection between sleep and nearly every body function—from immunity to heart health and blood pressure control to mental health.”

Kevin Lees, D.C., director of chiropractic operations at The Joint Chiropractic, shares that you should consider your sleeping preference, sensitivities, and body type when shopping for a mattress. “Ideally, everyone should test out their mattress since not every mattress is made for every body type,” he explains.

Lees says that all mattresses should support the entire length of your body and leave no gaps in contact. “It should also support the spine and pelvis to help it remain in a neutral position,” he says. “This means depending on a person’s sleeping preference and body type, there may be a firmness that works best.”

Nectar is the boxed bed brand that makes top-notch mattresses that won’t break the bank. Currently offering a few different options, including the The Nectar Mattress, Nectar Premier, and the Nectar Premier Copper. The company’s prices range from $399 to $2,598 based on size and model. In addition to mattresses, they make bed frames, pillows, blankets, and nightstands that are all reasonably priced.

When it comes to materials, Saatva uses the best of the best. Each brand’s mattresses are made using nontoxic components, including organic cotton, organic natural latex, eco-friendly memory foam, and natural flame retardants. Saatva consciously sources all their memory foams and 85% of their other materials right here in the U.S.

Saatva typically offers multiple firmness levels for many of its models, including plush soft, luxury firm, relaxed firm, gentle firm, and firm. The brand also has a bed, the Saatva HD, designed for sleepers over 300 pounds, and another model that allows you to choose from 50 different firmness settings.
