We tested a Nectar mattress to see if it lives up to the hype and found that it stays cool and cradles the body nicely, especially for side sleepers.

DreamCloud mattress sale
40% off all mattresses plus discounted sleep accessories
DreamCloud makes a comfortable and fairly affordable hybrid that our tester called a great choice for those who sleep hot and like a supportive sleep surface.

How long does a mattress last?
Mattress expiration dates fall somewhere between eight and 12 years, with many brands suggesting that a decade-old mattress is one that's ready to be replaced. Along with the expiration date, there are other signs like tossing and turning or sniffling and sneezing that could mean you're due for a new mattress.
Are there free mattress trials?
Nearly every mattress brand we’ve tested offers a trial period during which you can test out the mattress for a specified period of time, because there’s nothing like actually sleeping on it. For instance, you can try an Awara mattress for 365 nights.
