Where they differ
Nectar has two foam beds on Amazon, and this matchup uses the Classic in its firm version (the softer, thicker Premier has its own comparison): foam throughout, firm with a little cradle. The DreamCloud is the Premier hybrid: quilted, medium-firm, on coils. So this is really two questions at once, foam or coils, and firm or medium-firm, and the answers usually point the same way.
Pick Nectar if
- You sleep on your back or stomach.
- You like memory foam's close, quiet feel.
- You want the lower-cost of the two.
Pick DreamCloud if
- You spend part of the night on your side.
- You sleep warm.
- You share the bed and want firmer edges.
