Nectar Classic takes first place because it pairs the cheapest kind of risk with a low price. Nectar sells it with a 365-night home trial, a Forever Warranty and free shipping and returns, so a buyer has a full year of real sleep to decide and a warranty with no fixed end date. The mattress itself is a 12-inch memory foam bed with a cool-to-the-touch cover and a support foam layer meant to absorb movement, which helps couples when one partner gets up at night. Nectar describes the feel as firm, with a bit more cradling than an extra-firm mattress, and points it at stomach sleepers and people with back pain. That firmness is the main caution: lighter side sleepers may want the softer Premier or a hybrid. The queen was $699 when we checked, against a much larger Total Value figure, so judge it on the price you pay.

Who it is for

Budget-minded buyers who want the longest trial and a lifetime-style warranty on a firm memory foam bed.
