Current buying comparison
Our take: The Lull Original and Nectar Classic are both memory-foam mattresses, while the Nectar Classic Hybrid adds pocketed coils. Choose based on your preferred feel, support and current total price. A hybrid is not guaranteed to last longer or sleep cooler for every person. The earlier price tables and cost projections in this review are historical examples, not current quotes or predictions.

Trials, returns and warranties
Both brands advertise 365-night mattress trials and limited lifetime warranties for eligible purchases. Nectar's trial policy generally requires 30 nights before an opened mattress can be returned. Lull's written return policy says 60 nights and estimates a processing fee of 10% of retail price, potentially varying by location. Lull's marketing also describes free pickup, so ask the company to clarify the amount that applies to your order before buying. Other sellers may have different terms.
Both written mattress warranties specify a qualifying visible indentation greater than 1.5 inches, subject to their conditions and exclusions. Normal softening and improper foundations can be excluded. Read the applicable Lull warranty and Nectar warranty for the exact requirements. A trial or warranty does not predict when a mattress will wear out.
Standard delivery is typically boxed. Nectar also describes optional white-glove setup and old-mattress removal in eligible areas; availability and fees vary. Confirm the service and any nonrefundable charges before checkout. Our feel notes below are subjective observations, not a guarantee for every body or sleeping position.
Choose by feel, support, current price and return terms. Both brands advertise 365-night trials and limited lifetime warranties, but written return conditions differ. Prices in the older comparison are historical. The original review favors the Nectar hybrid for its feel and support; a hybrid combines coils with foam, and long-term performance depends on its complete construction and use. Compare Lull for a foam feel and Nectar's foam or hybrid options according to your budget. Try the model that fits your sleep position and body best. Yawnder Score: 4.5/5.
Original review impressions
Lull's discounts look enormous — a Twin marked from $998 down to $339 — so compare the actual checkout price rather than the advertised discount. Both brands run promotions, and prices can change. The original review reflects the author's earlier impressions; current prices and terms should be checked with each brand.
These are two of the most similar mattresses in the category. Both original models are all-foam, soft-leaning medium beds around 10″ to 12″ tall, both ship compressed in a box, both are sold direct online, and both feel like memory foam is supposed to feel. Their feel can differ by sleeper, body size and position.
Compare feel, current prices, delivery and the details of each return policy.
One note on Lull's pricing before the table: compare the actual selling price rather than assuming the crossed-out price represents a previous sale. A $2,083 list on a Queen all-foam mattress is a marketing anchor — the older $708 sale price is not a current quote. That is not a scandal, it is just how Lull merchandises. Judge it on the sale number.
Historical prices by size (August 2026)
This earlier price snapshot is not a current comparison; check both brands for the size and model you want. Neither brand is expensive.
Nectar ClassicThe August 2026 prices were close; both brands now advertise a 365-night mattress trial and limited lifetime warranty. The hybrid adds pocketed coils; comfort and longevity depend on the complete design, usage and the individual sleeper.
Check the live Nectar priceDurability and long-term impressions
This is the part no launch review covers. Both of these are budget all-foam mattresses, and wear varies across products: foam can soften or develop impressions with use, but the timing varies and cannot be predicted from mattress type alone. Heavier sleepers get there faster.
Warranties do not usually help, because both brands exclude normal softening and have separate indentation thresholds and support conditions. Compare the entire construction, support and warranty conditions rather than assuming any one component guarantees longevity.
That is the argument for the Nectar Classic Hybrid at $849 over either $700 foam bed. Both foam layers and coils can change with use; a hybrid is not automatically immune to wear. The earlier review noted differences in feel and support with use; the precise duration and construction of each tested sample are not documented here. If you are buying a primary bed you intend to keep, compare current prices and choose the feel and support that suit you.
If you are buying a guest room bed, a kid's bed, or a Twin for a bunk, consider the current Lull Twin price and terms along with the specific bed's support and safety requirements.
Feel, cooling and motion
Feel is close to a wash. Both are soft-leaning mediums with slow-response memory foam up top. Lull runs marginally firmer and marginally more responsive; Nectar contours a little deeper at the shoulder. Side sleepers may appreciate the contouring; stomach sleepers should pay particular attention to hip support and try the feel for themselves.
Cooling is a wash too, and the honest answer is that neither one is a cooling mattress. Both use foam and cooling-marketed covers; whether they feel too warm depends on the sleeper and environment. Lull's Luxe Hybrid and Nectar's Classic Hybrid are alternatives with coils; the feel and airflow depend on each model and sleeper.
Motion isolation is excellent on both, which is the one thing budget memory foam does genuinely well. If a partner gets up at 5 a.m., each may reduce motion transfer, though neither can guarantee undisturbed sleep.
Trial, warranty and the fine print
Both Lull and Nectar advertise a 365-night mattress trial. Nectar's terms require 30 nights before returning an opened mattress. Lull's written policy requires 60 nights and describes an estimated processing fee; its marketing describes free pickup. Confirm the current terms before ordering. A trial can help assess initial comfort, but it cannot guarantee long-term durability.
Warranty: Nectar's Forever Warranty is lifetime and limited; Lull's is also limited lifetime. Both exclude normal softening. Both require adequate support underneath — on Nectar, a center rail with a leg on Queen and larger, or slats no more than about 3″ apart. Skipping that is how a claim gets denied on either brand, so budget $200–$300 for a real foundation if you do not own one.
Nectar offers a price-adjustment policy; check the current eligibility requirements for each seller. Given how often both brands move prices, that is real money for anyone willing to send one email.

Illustrative five-year cost scenario (historical)
This older illustrative cost estimate assumes a topper for some models; those assumptions are not evidence that one bed will cost less over time. Actual lifespan, accessory needs and costs vary by model and use.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lull or Nectar better?
Nectar, for a primary bed. In the older August snapshot their prices were close; both currently advertise 365-night trials and limited lifetime warranties, with different written return conditions. Compare the current price and dimensions for the size and use you need.
Are Lull's list prices real?
Lull describes the crossed-out amount as a suggested reference price that may not be a prior selling price. Compare the actual checkout price with alternatives. Do not treat the crossed-out number as a saving — compare the sale price to Nectar's sale price, which is what we did in the table above.
Do these mattresses sag?
Foam may soften or develop impressions with use, but timing varies by construction, support and sleeper. Heavier sleepers get there faster. Neither warranty covers normal softening — both specify separate indentation thresholds and support conditions. If you want the bed to hold up, buy a coil hybrid; that is why we point people to the $849 Nectar Classic Hybrid.
Which one sleeps cooler?
Neither, meaningfully. Both are solid foam with a cooling-marketed cover and both may feel warmer to some sleepers. A hybrid is another option to compare, but cooling depends on the whole mattress and the sleeper.
How do the trials compare?
Both brands advertise 365-night mattress trials. Nectar requires 30 nights for an opened mattress; Lull's policy says 60 nights and lists an estimated processing fee, though its marketing describes free pickup. Check the seller's applicable terms. A trial assesses initial comfort; it cannot guarantee long-term durability.
Do I need a foundation?
Yes — a solid platform or a foundation with slats close together, plus center support on Queen and larger. On Nectar that center rail is a written condition of the Forever Warranty and a condition to check before purchase. Budget $200–$300 if you do not already own one.
