WE SPEND almost a third of our lives in bed, so choosing the right mattress is crucial for our wellbeing. With that in mind, we decided to put the Nectar mattress to the test to find out if it lives up to the hype. The claims Nectar makes about its mattress are pretty big: it claims to make you more comfortable if you're a hot sleeper, thanks to a top layer comprising of a quilted cooling cover, as well as non-stop airflow; to improve spinal alignment, no matter your body type; and to allow you to move round freely without fear of waking your light-sleeping partner.
