Read our full review of the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress to learn more.
Editor Quote: "I ordered a Nectar Memory Foam Mattress and hoped for the best. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Nectar mattress is probably a 7 in terms of firmness. While I'm a side sleeper who typically prefers an ultraplush pillow-top mattress, I was impressed by how supported I felt. If you prefer a firmer mattress and are looking for a good one at an affordable price, then Nectar is the way to go." — Marisa Hillman, contributor

Featuring a breathable, open-cell cooling gel and multiple layers to help reduce motion transfer, the Tuft & Needle Original Mattress is an ideal choice for those looking for something with a firmer feel.

One thing worth noting is that the brand released a new version of this original model in 2015. The newer version is softer than the prior model, which disappointed some reviewers. Others commented that it might not be the best option if you run warm at night, which is a common downside to all-foam mattresses.

Editor Quote: "My partner and I fell for our Leesa Memory Foam Mattress on the very first sleep. We'd tested at least five foam mattresses in store — some with different 'sleep numbers' — and watched at least a dozen YouTube reviews of direct-to-consumer mattresses before we decided to try the Leesa. And boy, am I glad we did. The Leesa foam mattress pitches a balance of firm (for him) and soft (for me) and adapts to your body. There's a 100-day trial period, but we didn't need it. We immediately agreed we were having some of the best sleep of our lives." — Angelica Marden, former publisher

Editor Quote: "On a comfort level, this one is a pure winner. The brand describes it as a gentle firm choice, ideal for side and combination sleepers. I would agree with this, as I sleep both on my side and back, and I found it the perfect amount of soft yet supportive. I like plush choices, so this model with the pillow top is what I would recommend if you also like that cloud-like feeling." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce
