The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress

The Nectar Memory Foam mattress is the flagship offering from leading sleep company Nectar. This popular mattress in a box has exploded in popularity since it first launched back in 2016, thanks in no small part to its highly competitive pricing and spectacularly good offers.

After all, Nectar is by no means the only mattress brand to promise you the best night’s sleep of your life – but few can match the $399-worth of accessories the company gives away, free, with every mattress.

We’ll say it now: when it comes to value we think the Nectar Memory Foam is the best mattress you can buy. But what’s it actually like to sleep on? That’s where we can help. In our Nectar mattress review, we put the award-winning mattress to the test, to help you decide whether it’s the right option for you.

If you like the sound of it, you can try it yourself at home – it comes with a huge year-long risk-free trial. If you don’t like it, Nectar will collect it and you’ll get a full refund. Read on for our in-depth analysis of the Nectar mattress – and you’ll find today’s best Nectar mattress deals on this page too.

WHAT IS THE NECTAR MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS?

• Medium-firm comfort level 
• 11 inches deep, with five layers 
• Made from gel memory foam and foam

The Nectar Memory Foam is Nectar’s best-selling mattress. It’s the cheapest of the two options available from the sleep company, which has offices in San Francisco, New York, Tel Aviv and London. (The other mattress in the US range is the Nectar Lush, which costs over $500 more for a queen size. This option isn’t sold in the UK though.)

Comprising five different layers, the mattress has a super-soft quilted Tencel cover on top, followed by a breathable gel memory foam layer, which helps to distribute your weight and ease pressure points, while diffusing heat to keep your body cool.

Next, an adaptive hi-core memory foam adds extra support, helping avoid the sinking feeling that can come with some foam-based mattresses. Under this, a base layer helps stabilize the materials above and offers another layer of support, while the bottom mattress cover prevents slippage on your bed frame (it works with any type) or the floor.

The Nectar mattress comes in US, UK and EU sizing. In the US there are six different options, ranging from a twin all the way up to a California king.

It’s a bed in a box, which means it’ll be delivered free of charge to your doorstep, rolled up in a vacuum-sealed box. All you have to do is take it out of the box, lay it down and let it expand. Alternatively, for an extra $149 you can choose white glove delivery, where a Nectar representative will set the mattress up for you, and remove your existing mattress. (White glove delivery has been paused during the pandemic though.)

One area where Nectar really stands out is its industry-leading 365-night sleep trial, and the company’s impressive forever warranty. Nectar is so confident you’ll love the mattress, it gives you a full year to trial it – that’s three times longer than the 100-night trial offered by most other mattress companies. You’ll typically get just a 10-year warranty for other mattresses, too; not a whole lifetime’s warranty. These are huge perks for first-time memory foam customers, who may need a bit of time for their bodies to adjust to the new material.

If you decide your Nectar mattress isn’t a perfect fit, Nectar offers free returns within the 365-night trial period. The company will refund you, and the mattress will be donated or recycled.
