Hey, friends, Elisa here with Mattress Clarity.
As you may know, we're big fans of Nectar mattresses here,
but what if you're on a tight budget?
Introducing the Siena. This mattress comes
from Nectar, and it has all that plush foam comfort you're looking for,
but at a low, low price. To help you figure out whether this
is the best of your dreams, I'll go over its firmness feel and
features. But remember, you can always find more information.

in the description below. Let's get started,
Justin. A mattress is ten inches tall, which is a bit shorter
than most mattresses out there. But again, it is a budget friendly
pick, so it's a pretty good option. The cover is a thin,
stretchy, breathable material, which is really great if you're a back
sleep because it shouldn't trap body heat too much.
Underneath this, you'll get to the first comfort layer.
This is made with a really slow moving memory
foam. You'll see, when I press my hand into it, it takes a little
bit of time to come back into place. You're going to get some really great
pressure relief and body contouring from this.
And underneath there's a layer of high density foam that you can
see. It's sort of built like an egg crate. This is because it will allow
a lot of room for air flow. So, yes, memory foam
does have a tendency to trap heat, but this cuts it down just a little
bit. Underneath this is a thicker layer of high density
based support foam. This prevents you from bottoming out on the mattress,
and it gives you that lumbar support that you need here
at Mattress Clarity. And we always pay close attention to firmness and
feel. So the Siena mattress comes in at six
out of ten on our firmness scale. For reference, six and a half
out of ten indicates the industry standard for medium firm.
This means the Siena mattress feels slightly softer than average.
But again, firmness is subjective, and it has a lot to do with your body
type. But let's talk about what this bed feels like. So it has
a thick comfort layer, which means that it's going to be really slow
moving. You can see, as I press into it, there's a
little bit of my handprint still left. It takes a bit of time for it
to come back into place. It has that kind of quicksand sort of
feel. So you're going to feel like you're sleeping in the mattress rather
than on top of it. If you're confused, a really good way to
show what this feels like is with my handy squash ball. So watch as
I drop it from shoulder height and you can see it really
doesn't get a whole lot of bounce. That's because there aren't any coils
or Springs to make it responsive.
A couple of bounces and it stays put. And of course,
we got to talk about sleeping positions when I'm resting on my back.
On the Siena mattress, it feels okay. For me.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of that kind of quicksand memory foam
feel, so I just need something a little bit more supportive.
Again, for me, this mattress felt softer than medium firm
and just wasn't quite getting that lower back support that I
would need. I will say, though, when I'm resting on my side,
this mattress really shines. That slow moving memory
foam cushions my shoulders and my hips, so it will
absorb any sort of pressure that I might feel there.
But again, it's not a great pick for stomach sleepers.
This mattress, in my opinion, is just too soft. So over
time, I know that my hips would start to sink out of alignment, which could
lead to lower back pain down the line.
I told you my subjective opinion, but let's back it up
with some objective tests. We're going to take a look at what the pressure map
has to say. On your screen, you'll see everything from blue,
which means no pressure at all, all the way to red, which means that there's
a lot of pressure. So let's see what it looks like in each sleeping position.
So starting on my back, you'll see that there's a nice array of blue and
green. That's exactly what you want to see. I could
imagine maybe over time or as this mattress softening, you might feel a little
bit of pressure. But again, objectively, it looks pretty good moving
over to my side. So this is interesting because I personally felt
the most comfortable in the sleeping position. But if you look closely, there is
a little bit of red, a lot of pressure building up in the shoulder area.
So that's something to keep in mind because that's a big pressure point moving
over to my stomach. Again, very little pressure happening here, which is
awesome. This is a little bit different than what I personally experienced, but
you can rest easy unboxing that the pressure map says that it should be
okay if
you share a bed with a partner, you want to think about your bed's motion
isolation. And what this means is if you're resting on one side of
the bed and your partner comes in on the other and they start switching sleeping
positions in the night, are you going to feel that movement come over to your
side of the bed? One way we test this is with a glass
of water. So watch as I press into the mattress around it.
If you see a lot of movement happening within the glass, that means that this
doesn't isolate motion super well. Let's check it out. All right,
so I am pushing into the comfort layer. There's a little bit of
movement happening in the glass, but it's not too bad.
This is an all foam bed, so generally,
these isolate motion a little bit better than hybrids.
So, yeah, a little bit about happening here, especially as I get closer.
I don't anticipate this being an issue for most people, but if you're in a
specially light sleep, something to keep in mind. Let's not stop
there. Let's also see what it's like in real life. I'm going to get in
on one side of the bed and our video producer Robbie is going to get
in on the other. And as he switched around and moved on the mattress,
I did feel a little bit of that movement come over to my side of
the bed. Not a huge deal breaker for me, but if you're an especially light
sleep, that could cause issues down the road.
You share a bed with a partner. You don't just want to think about motion
isolation. You've also got to think about your bed's edge support.
So when you're sitting or lying near the side of the bed, are you going
to feel secure or are you going to feel like you might roll off?
Now, the Siena mattress edge support leaves some to bed
desired. I just think straight through this pretty well,
and I'm not an average weight person, so I would imagine if you're taller than
me, you would feel this even more.
I'm decently, secure, but the real test is going
to be when I'm lying down on the bed.
Yeah. So if you get really close to the edge on this mattress,
you might start to feel like you're going to roll off a little bit.
You'll definitely want to give yourself a little bit of room from the
edge. So this is important if you share a bed with a partner, because that
means both of you will have to sleep a little bit closer to the center.
Hey, guys. Martin here to offer a different perspective. I'm a larger personnel.
You definitely want to think about your size and weight when you're looking at a
mattress. So I want to give my experience with the Siena mattress.
First off, in terms of firmness, I thought it was firmer than Eliza did.
I thought it was closer to a seven out of ten, a little bit firmer
than average. That's because again, I'm a larger person. I'm probably pressing
further into this mattress, feeling more firmness than Elicit did.
Now, speaking of singing position, starting on my back an okay match me.
Again, it is firmer than average for me, but overall, I probably need more
support from a mattress for heavy people moving to my
side. Also, it is firmer for me, so not as good pressure relief on my
shoulders and my hips and moving to my stomach. Not quite enough support under
my hips. I'm going in there a little bit and I'm getting out of alignment.
Overall, probably not the best option for heavy people. I'm going to go over
some of the pros and cons of the Siena mattress,
starting with the good stuff. First of all, this mattress is an excellent choice
for lightweight people. If you weigh less than £130,
you should feel comfy in just about every sleeping position. This is also
a spectacular choice if you're on a budget. Cheap mattress
are super affordable will not break the bank. And finally,
Siena mattress have great company policies. There's a generous
sleep trial period and warranty so you can rest easy.
But of course we can't talk about the good things but also touching
on some of the cons so this mattress isn't the best choice
for heavier folks. If you weigh more than 100 and
5160 pounds, you might sink into this comfort layer
quite a bit which means that you won't get that comfort that you need.
This mattress also isn't the best choice for people who tend to overheat at
night. There aren't a whole lot of built in cooling features and because it's
entirely made out of foam, it might trap body heat as time goes
on. And finally, the Siena mattress isn't great. If you're looking for
a very durable long term solution,
it's a lot cheaper. You get to save a lot of money, but that also
means it may not last as long. Let's talk about Siena's
company policies. First of all, they do offer free shipping
and free returns and they have a 180
night sleep trial period that gives you plenty of time to try it out from
the comfort of your home to see whether it works for you.
Also, there's a ten year warranty and financing is available.
Well, that's about it. Remember, if you need more in-depth mattress information
