Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Big Fig Mattress over the Nectar Premier Copper. It scores higher in cooling, edge support, price-to-value and delivers stronger overall value. The Nectar Premier Copper is the better choice only if you want more time to decide (365-night trial vs 120 nights).
Big Fig Mattress vs Nectar Premier Copper: What Actually Differs
The Big Fig Mattress is a hybrid build, while the Nectar Premier Copper is a memory foam — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. Profile-wise they're almost identical — the Big Fig Mattress measures 13" and the Nectar Premier Copper measures 13", so neither will dictate your sheet depth or bed-frame compatibility. The Big Fig Mattress is the firmer of the two at 7/10 (medium-firm), and the Nectar Premier Copper sits at 6/10 (medium-firm) — a meaningful enough gap that sleeper position and weight should drive the choice. The single largest performance gap is in edge support: the Big Fig Mattress rates noticeably higher than the Nectar Premier Copper, which is the deciding factor if that dimension is high on your list. On a Queen, the Big Fig Mattress runs $1,399 versus $1,599 for the Nectar Premier Copper — roughly $200 (13%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about. Trial periods aren't symmetrical either: the Nectar Premier Copper ships with a 365-night sleep trial versus 120 nights for the Big Fig Mattress, giving you a longer in-home runway to send it back if the feel doesn't land.
Which Is Better For Your Sleep Style?
Higher pressure-relief rating, which is what protects hip and shoulder contact points in the side position.
Firmness of 6/10 is closer to the medium-firm sweet spot back sleepers need for lumbar support (vs 7/10).
Firmer at 7/10 vs 6/10 — stomach sleepers need the extra support to keep the pelvis from sinking and arching the lower back.
Cooling rating not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
stronger perimeter / edge support — the two specs heavier sleepers should weight most.
Softer at 6/10 vs 7/10 — lighter sleepers compress less, so they typically need the softer of two options to get proper contouring.
Higher motion-isolation rating, which means less disturbance when a partner moves or gets out of bed.
