Two big-name UK hybrids, compared honestly on price, springs, foam depth, trial and cooling. Nectar brings the lowest price and the longest trial; REM-Fit brings more than double the pocket springs and a deep comfort layer. Here's the full picture, every figure sourced and verified.
The 20-second verdict
Nectar is the cheapest here at £299 and has the longest trial and warranty. But at king size, that £299 buys just 1,344 pocket springs, less than half the 3,000 in the REM-Fit 3000 Supreme. For around £180 more, REM-Fit more than doubles the spring count and adds a 5cm zoned comfort layer. Emma sits in the middle on both price and spec.

Who wins each category
Price & value
REM-FitNectar wins on sticker price at £299. But it's worth knowing what that buys: 1,344 king-size pocket springs, against 3,000 in the REM-Fit. For around £180 more you more than double the spring count and add a deeper comfort layer, so on what you actually get for the money, REM-Fit is the stronger value.
Springs & support
REM-FitThis is the clearest gap on the page. The REM-Fit 3000 Supreme has 3,000 king-size pocket springs; the £299 Nectar Classic Hybrid has 1,344 in the same size, less than half. Emma doesn't publish a count. More springs means more responsive, evenly distributed support.
Comfort layer
REM-FitREM-Fit publishes a 5cm zoned open-cell comfort layer. Emma and Nectar use multi-layer foam stacks but don't break out a single comfort-layer depth, so REM-Fit is the only one with a clear number.
Sleep trial
NectarCredit where it's due: Nectar's 365-night trial is the longest here, against 200 nights from REM-Fit and Emma. If you want the most time to decide, Nectar leads.
Guarantee
NectarNectar's Forever (lifetime) warranty is the most generous on test. REM-Fit's 15 years is next, and still beats Emma's 10, but Nectar takes this one.
Feel
TieAll three are true medium hybrids built to suit most sleepers, pairing pocket springs with a pressure-relieving foam layer. Feel is personal, which is why all three include a long home trial.
Cooling
TieEmma uses graphite ThermoSync foam, Nectar a cool-to-touch MTick cover, REM-Fit open-cell memory foam. Different routes to the same result, with no clear winner.
Which one is right for you?
We'd rather you buy the right mattress than the wrong REM-Fit. The straight answer:
Choose Emma if…
You want a soft, cushioned, hugging medium feel and you're happy to pay a premium for the brand.
Choose Nectar if…
You want the lowest upfront price (£299) and the longest trial and warranty, and a lighter spring count is fine for you.
Choose REM-Fit if…
You want far more support underfoot, more than double Nectar's pocket springs, plus a deep published comfort layer, for a modest step up in price.

Emma vs Nectar vs REM-Fit FAQs
Is Emma or Nectar better?
Both are medium hybrids. Emma comes with a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee; Nectar offers a much longer 365-night trial and a Forever (lifetime) warranty, at a lower price. Nectar wins on price, trial and warranty, so the choice comes down to feel preference and how much spring support you want.
Which has more pocket springs?
REM-Fit, by more than double: 3,000 king-size pocket springs against Nectar's 1,344. Emma doesn't publish a count. Counts are quoted at king size, the industry standard.
Nectar is cheaper, so is it better value?
Nectar's Classic Hybrid is the lowest priced here at £299, but at king size it has 1,344 pocket springs versus 3,000 in the REM-Fit 3000 Supreme. For around £180 more, REM-Fit more than doubles the springs and adds a 5cm comfort layer, so you get noticeably more mattress for the money.
Which has the longest trial and guarantee?
Nectar, by some distance: a 365-night trial and a Forever (lifetime) warranty. REM-Fit offers a 200-night trial and a 15-year guarantee, and Emma a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee.
Do all three sleep cool?
Yes. Emma uses graphite-infused foam, Nectar a cool-to-touch MTick-certified cover, and REM-Fit open-cell memory foam. All three improve airflow over traditional memory foam.
