Nectar Classic Hybrid is the value pick for Mattress Firm shoppers who want coils without paying premium-brand prices. Nectar describes it as a medium-firm 12-inch hybrid with memory foam over individually wrapped coils, plus two rows of higher-gauge perimeter coils for edge support and a cover woven with cooling fibers. The queen cost $849 on Nectar's store when we checked, and Mattress Firm's product feed listed the same $849 sale price for the Classic 12 inch Firm Hybrid queen. One detail matters if you buy in the store: Nectar's 365-night trial and Forever Warranty are promised for purchases from Nectar, while Mattress Firm's feed lists a 10 Year Limited warranty for the same bed. If the longer terms matter to you, ask the store which warranty applies or buy direct. The firm-leaning feel suits back and stomach sleepers better than lighter side sleepers.

Budget shoppers who want coils, edge support and a memory foam top for well under $1,000.
