Construction
Nectar’s comfort derives from five different layers:
Tencel cooling cover
The mattress starts with the Tencel cooling layer which is custom-milled to suck out all the heat and ensure the circulation of fresh air as the user moves. This design ensures that an optimal sleeping temperature is maintained at all times. The cover is also bedbug-resistant.
Quilted gel memory foam
While most companies avoid quilting simply because it’s an expensive process, Nectar takes pride in their usage of a fully quilted layer of gel cooling memory foam. This further aids in enhancing breathability, comfort, and loft.
Premium gel memory foam
Nectar’s semi-open Lush foam holds 5 patents, and they claim that it’s the most premium gel foam available on the market. It’s responsible for absorption and distribution of heat.
Adaptive hi-core memory foam
The fourth layer in the mattress is that of adaptive memory foam which prevents you from sinking into the mattress.
Breathable base layer
Nectar claims to have the densest yet the most breathable foundation of any mattress available.

Mattress Cover
Nectar’s tencel cooling cover is made from long-staple cotton and tencel. It is a great enabler for temperature regulation and breathability. It’s also easily removable, giving you the option to wash if you so desire.
Firmness, Feel & Support
Nectar claims to provide the “just right” experience when it comes to firmness, and we don’t disagree. Their medium-firm mattresses offer pressure relief to the body, and as a result, the mattresses are able to accommodate a wide range of people. The upper layers of the mattress are less-responsive to pressure and hence let the body sink into the mattress, whereas the lower layers are firmer helping in the overall maintenance of proper body posture.
Nectar mattress doesn’t boast a strong bounce, and if you like to adjust between different sleeping positions, then this can be an important factor to consider prior to buying the mattress. When it comes to motion transfer, the behavior of the mattress is just as expected: As long as the intensity of motion only affects the upper, low-responsive layers of the mattress, there is no transfer of motion. However, if the motion is more intense, for example, if two people are lying on a bed and one of them moves with considerable intensity, the other person will feel a bit of the motion.
Purchase & Delivery Process
Financing through Affirm is available with the purchase of this mattress, so you can pay in easy, monthly installments if you prefer not to pay all at once. The mattress can be ordered directly from the company website and gets delivered right to your doorstep for free. Nectar provides you with a lifetime mattress warranty and a 365-night sleep trial.
Adjustable Beds
Nectar’s adjustable bed frame lifts your head and/or feet for weightless, gravity-defying support and comes in Split King size so that partners can each experience customized support. For extra comfort, it also features a built-in massage function for 15-minute relaxing head-to-toe vibrations. To make sure your smartphone is charged and ready for each new day, the Nectar adjustable frame is even equipped with 2 USB plugs.
The Nectar Adjustable Frame comes with a 50-night trial, a 3-year warranty, and free white glove delivery and removal of your old bed. It is available in four sizes, has a base height of 15” and a maximum height of 21” (feet) and 40” (head).

Pillow Offerings
Get the complete Nectar memory foam experience by adding a memory foam pillow to your order. Made from the same high-tech, super-durable material, this pillow features Tencel cooling fabric so it feels like you’re always sleeping on the cool side. There’s no need to keep flipping the pillow through the night! The Nectar pillow is well ventilated and comes with a 50-day sleep trial and financing options. The Nectar pillow is also fully customizable due to its over-stuffed default state; if it’s too firm, just remove some of the stuffing.

Customer support
The company offers phone support during working hours. The support team can be reached instantly via live chat. You can also contact Nectar representatives via email. If you need visual help, you can turn to the company’s YouTube channel to find some informative and entertaining videos. Nectar also updates their blog frequently.
Of note, if you are contacting Nectar because you want to return your mattress, there is a separate email address just for this process. They also answer during normal business hours, however, you should be aware that it may take hours to get a reply. Furthermore, as part of the return process, you’ll be asked to take photographs of your mattress to send to Nectar to ensure that the request for a refund is truly due to not finding the mattress comfortable rather than mistreating it. This, however, is typical of these brands who offer such generous trial periods with full refunds.

I’m 72 years old, in fairly good health. I have a bad back that I was born with. My current mattress leaves me with a sore back in the morning (hot shower makes it better) and sometimes sore shoulders and a sore hip. I sleep on my side. I recently spent a few days with my son’s family and slept on an air mattress. I did not have these problems sleeping on that mattress. Is the nectar a mattress that would likely provide me with the same level of comfort that I had on that air mattress?

hi
How much for this mattress?
Pertaining to the 365 day trail period, if I decided I didn’t like it within 30 or 90 days, can I return it? Or does the 365 day trail mean you must use it for a full year before returning? Makes a big difference. Will a box be provided for the return, of would the customer be obligated to take the mattress to a shipping facility and pay for packaging?
Hi Jodi, From other web site reviews customer support is really lousy getting back to you for questions or refund issues. I have tried 3 times regarding a question and have heard nothing from them for the past 2 months. Also heard the mattress is made in USA not overseas, is that correct? My best question is the mattress fully refunded not just partial after using the mattress for a year? Some companies provide a pro rated refund and I can’t find anything on their web site that address this question. I am ready to order 2-3 months ago but… Read more »
