What makes Siena the grand champion of comfort?
Nectar’s focus has been on engineering a perfect night’s sleep.
(And it has the awards and ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ reviews to prove it.)
Siena is 12 inches high. Puffy is a “too soft” 10 inches.
Customers report loooong, happy-faced slumbers on nights with Nectar. Puffy is stunted at 2 inches shorter. And still somehow slightly more expensive.* Why? Let’s look at the layers of each mattress.
Both Siena and Puffy are memory foam...
But unlike Puffy – which is all too-soft foam and base layer – Siena gives you more. Keen engineering places your cradle layer over your support layer over your stability layer. All underneath a soft, breathable cover.
Translation: you sleep snug as a bug all night.
Unlike Siena, Puffy goes like this: plain polyester, thin slab #1, thin slab #2. Then the base. Which really just adds height. Engineering matters, and Puffy’s is lacking. Sleep Foundation puts Puffy at a 5/10 softness (compared to Siena’s 6.5) and slurps you in with a 2/5 on the ease-of-movement scale (Compared to Siena’s 5/5).
Not exactly cozy conditions for Dreamland Express.
Layered foam like you’ll find in Siena is the gold standard if you want a comfortable night’s sleep, night after night.

High-Density Support Layer
To support the layers above.
Latex is a better choice. Naturally.
Latex provides all the supportive benefits of a memory foam mattress without the odors or chemicals. Latex also contours to your body – which can help keep the spine properly aligned and alleviate pressure points at night. Not to mention that latex offers above-average motion isolation.
- Our latex is Rainforest Alliance certified. Which means that our organic, sustainable latex contributes to protecting forests and improving the livelihoods of farmers and forest communities – promoting their human rights, and helping them mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis.
- The awara has 4’’ of luxurious latex, specifically designed to keep you cool, and take away the stresses and strain of your day while you sleep. As we mentioned, the Ghostbed doesn’t use any natural latex, and has quite a strange set up! Since they don’t have natural latex, they have substituted a series of different memory foams (four on the comfort layer and one along the bottom for support). Each of these layers is only around 1’’ thick each, and might not give the same responsive comfort and support as a single uninterrupted layer of latex.
Good for you. Good for the environment.
“Something about this mattress has completely changed my sleeping life.”
Awara supports your body, your conscience, and your favorite sleep-style.
Hybrid mattresses are a little different to Memory Foam. They are a little firmer: instead of “sinking in”, you settle down, and the mattress supports every curve.
