Cover
Temperature-regulating top cover. Fully washable at 40°C, this top cover is made from breathable fibres that help prevent overheating.
The Adaptive® cooling cover responds dynamically to temperature changes to keep your sleep environment cool and dry, all night, every night. The Adaptive technology incorporates a temperature sensitive polymer into the cooling cover; meaning the warmer it gets, the more the cooling Adaptive cover will evaporate moisture. And even better, it works independently so you and your partner can both sleep at the temperature that works for you.

Comfort
Made using wonderfully comfortable foams, this mattress is sure to be loved by young and old alike. So, no matter whether you like to sleep on your back, your front or your side, you’ll always sleep sweet and soundly.
Nectar's top layer of quilted memory foam stimulates air flow beneath your body, while the Adaptive fabric wicks away unwanted heat and moisture.
Support
Perfect for all body types, this mattress features unique cut-outs that support your shoulder and hips. Pressure is distributed across the mattress to keep your spine aligned and allowing you to wake up refreshed.
Ideal support for any position. Nectar gives you the support of a firm mattress while pampering you with the comfort of a pillow top. Premium materials ensure it perfectly contours to your body. Engineered to relieve pressure by absorbing energy and contouring perfectly around your body. More breathable than other memory foams, allowing greater airflow through the foam giving you a much cooler and more comfortable night's sleep. With 7 different zones of support this super durable base layer provides firmer support under your hips and softer support under your shoulders. The innovative turret structure ensures optimum airflow and the high-density foam maintains structure and shape for longer.
