Hey everyone. Elisa here with Mattress Clarity.
If you're in the market for a new comfy foam bed,
chances are you've heard about the Cocoon by Sealy and Nectar.
Well, in this comparison, we're going to put these two mattress head to head.
I'll look closely at their firmness feel and unique features to
help you find the perfect bed for you. Ready?
Let's get started.
Before I dive in, if you want to take a look at some of our
top picks for mattresses and read our individual reviews
for both of these beds head over mattressclarity.com
there you'll also find some of the best deals on the Cocoon and the Nectar
mattresses. And just for clarification, here we are talking about
the all foam versions of the Cocoon and the Nectar.
So let's get into their main similarities. First of all, they are
both bed in a box mattresses that will arrive on your doorstep compressed
inside a cardboard box. Second of all, they're both sold at value
prices, so you shouldn't break the bank with either one of these options.
And last but not least, these mattresses are entirely made out
of foam, and they both have incredible customer service terms.
Moving on to the main differences between the Cocoon and
The Nectar. First of all, their firmness levels are drastically
different. The Cocoon feels much firmer than the Nectar,
which also means that it's better suited for different sleeping positions. For
example, the Cocoon works really well for back and stomach sleepers,
while the Nectar is better for side sleepers.
Additionally, these mattresses vary when it comes to how they feel.
The Cocoon is a little bit more responsive, so when you rest on
top of it, you'll really feel like you're sitting on top of the mattress,
whereas the Nectar it's a little bit slower moving, so you'll
feel yourself sinking into the memory. Foam wears a little bit.
To really understand how best mattress differ, we're going to
look at what they are made out of, but for even more indepth
information, I encourage you to go mattressclarity.com and
read our individual reviews in the Cocoon by Sealy and the Nectar.
Nectar Mattress vs. Cocoon All they are both cooling mattresses,
but they are cooling in different ways. The Cocoon by Sealy
has phase change material in its cover, and this is
a really unique material that helps pull body heat away
from you so that you should have a cool night's sleep. The Nectar has
a stretchy, breathable cover which is also promoting air flow
and will help you sleep cool. These two mattresses also have similar
constructions when it comes to their comfort layers. They both have
a foam comfort layer which provides pressure relief,
followed by a transition layer right before you get to the support. The main
difference here though, is that Nectar's comfort layer is infused with gel,
and gel helps pull heat away from the body so that you shouldn't trap body
heat. These mattresses also have similar base layers made
out of high quality foam. So what does this all mean?
Well, at first glance, these two mattresses almost have
the exact same construction, but they differ completely when
it comes to firmness and feel, which we'll talk about in a little bit.
But when it comes to durability, both of these beds should last you a long
time between seven to ten years. Plus, they have some incredible
cooling features. So let's get into the nitty gritty details here and see how
they differ when it comes to firmness and feel.
So first of all, the Cocoon by Sealy is a whole point firmer
than the next year mattress. It comes in at a seven and a half out
of ten on our firmness scale. So for reference,
a six and a half out of ten is considered medium firm, which is
also the industry standard. Nectar is going to come right in
at that industry standard level, so it really just comes down to what
you need and what kind of support you're looking for
when it comes to feel. Yes, they're both all foam beds, but they
do feel very different. The Cocoon by Sealy is a
lot more responsive, so when you press into it, the foam will immediately snap
back into place. This makes it really easy to move around
on top of it and you won't feel like you're sinking into the layers.
The Nestor, on the other hand, is a bit more slow moving,
so when you press your hand into it, it will take a long time
for that material to snap back to where it was. This means that you'll really
sink into the mattress a bit and it could be a
bit harder to move around on top of it. And because best mattress
differ significantly when it comes to firmness and feel,
they're also going to be better suited for different types of sleepers.
So first let's talk about the sleeping positions on the Cocoon mattress.
Because this one has a seven and a half out of ten, it'll work
pretty well for most back sleepers. Side sleepers,
however, especially if you're a little bit heavier, you might sink through
that comfort layer a bit and feel some pressure on your shoulders and
your hips. However, the Cocoon by Cele works really well
for stomach sleepers. That's because you won't feel your
hips sink as deeply into the comfort layer, which will help you maintain that
straight, neutral alignment that you need in the sleeping position.
Moving on to the Nectar this is a standard medium firm mattress,
so it also works pretty well for back sleepers, especially people
with my stature. You're going to feel a good balance of comfort and support.
The Nectar is a better pick for side sleepers because you get
more of that softness on the pressure points where you need it most.
Nectar, it's not going to work super well for your stomach sleepers.
That's because most people are going to feel their hips sinking into
that top layer, which can cause some strain on the lower back and lead
to pain over time. Here at Mattress Clarity, we like to combine
our subjective opinions with objective tests.
And one of those objective tests is the pressure map.
So watch carefully. As I rest on my side, you'll see
everything from blue to no pressure, all the way to
red for high pressure. And look closely at my shoulders
and my hips, because that's where you often see the most pressure.

If you share a mattress with a partner, you're going to want to pay close
attention to a mattress's. Edge Support and Motion
Transfer So first let's talk about the Cocoon and Nectar's motion transfer.
If you don't know what this is, it's a super important thing. So if you're
resting on one side of the bed, your partner comes in in the middle of
the night, starts switching sleeping positions, are you going to feel that
movement on your side of the bed? Well, luckily, both of these are all foam
beds, which are generally pretty good at isolating motion.
So in our experience, we didn't really feel a whole lot of movement
when we tested this. Now let's talk about edge support. This is
also important if you share a bed, because if the sides collapse
when you sit or rest near the side, that means you can't utilize the entire
surface area of the bed. So the Cocoon actually has
a little bit better edge support than the Nectar. And that's to be expected
because it's a firmer mattress. So when you sit on the side, you should
easily be able to bend down entire shoes and feel secure.
When you're rolling around near the side, you should not feel like you're going
to fall off at all. The Nectar, you're going to notice a little bit
more collapse, especially when you sit on the side of the bed.
However, it's still not bad edge support, especially for an
all foam bed. So who should get the Cocoon mattress?
First of all, this mattress is a stellar pick for those who want
a firmer bed. You'll get a little bit more support on this mattress because it's
a whole point higher than medium firm. Also,
because it's a firm bed, this mattress works exceptionally well for
stomach sleepers. You should get the necessary support so that
you shouldn't feel very much back pain in the sleeping position. And last
but not least, the Cocoon by Sealy is especially great for people who want a
more responsive mattress. You're not going to sink into the layers
too much. Instead, you're going to feel like you're sleeping right on top
of it. So who should get the Nectar mattress? This bed
is an excellent choice for those who want a solid, medium,
firm bed. It's also going to work really well for side sleepers
because you'll get a little bit more plushiness than you would in a cocoon which
is especially helpful for your shoulders and your hips.
And finally, the next year is a fantastic choice for those
who want a little bit more of a slow moving memory foam feel who really
want to sink into the mattress and kind of feel that comfort all around you.
Both the Cocoon By Sealy and Nectar mattresses are bed
in a box mattresses so they will arrive on your doorstep compressed
inside a cardboard box. So how do you unbox them? Well first
you're going to want to get help from a friend. They are both extremely heavy
and you'll definitely need a little bit of help. So once you've found your
friend, bring the box into your bedroom and gently cut open
the top. Pull out the rolled up mattress and place it onto your bed
frame or foundation. Then gently cut through the layers of
plastic being careful not to damage your brand new mattress and unroll
it onto the bed frame. Give it about 48 hours to
off gas and expand and then you'll be ready for a great night's sleep.
Before I wrap up, I'm going to go over some additional information about the
Cocoon by Cele and the Nectar mattresses. First of all,
both of these beds have free shipping and free returns. The Cocoon
by Sealy has a 100 night sleep trial period while
the Nectar has a 365 night sleep
trial period. Also the Cocoon by Sealy has a ten
year warranty while the Nectar is backed by a forever
warranty. With both of these beds, different bedding accessories are
available. Well that's about it. As you can see, the Cocoon
by Celie and Nectar mattresses have very similar constructions but
they differ greatly when it comes to firmness and feel.
