Final Verdict

The Nectar Premier wins on almost every value metric: 365-night trial vs 90, lifetime warranty vs 10 years, and $1,750 cheaper. The quality of memory foam is excellent. The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud is for buyers who want the absolute pinnacle of motion isolation and that specific TEMPUR material feel — it is genuinely different from generic memory foam. For most people, the $1,750 price gap cannot be justified. Try the Nectar first with its 365-night trial.
