Nectar Sleep Mattress Review

Full NECTAR Mattress Review

In this review we are evaluating the 11” Nectar memory foam mattress.

A plush mattress that offers consumers a variety of features as well as benefits, the Nectar is recognized for its classic memory foam feel that delivers a satisfying, comfortable sleep night after night.

With its unique firmness level guarantee and its innovative cooling system, this mattress is quickly gaining favor in the market for its conforming, supportive, and uniquely comfortable features as well as its very affordable price. 

Nectar’s unique one-year trial period and lifetime warranty make it a safe choice also for the brick & mortar shop aficionados.

What type of Mattress is the Nectar?

The Nectar is definitely a well-rounded mattress with its balanced levels of support and ultra-dense foam structure.

Manufactured and designed with unique breathing airflow and woven fabric, traditional memory foam and a variety of other unique features, the Nectar is without a doubt a modern mattress that affords sleepers a comfortable and cool night of sleep.

With the combined performance of its unique cooling system, its top layer of gel memory foam and its Tencel infused quilted cover, the Nectar surely stands out above the rest.

Each of these specialized features keep your Nectar feeling like new, day in and day out, year after year and surely contribute to a therapeutic restful night’s sleep for both you and your partner.

How Firm is the Nectar Sleep Mattress?

Unlike many other memory foam mattresses out there, the Nectar mattress is constructed with only one firmness level – medium firm.

It comes in at a level 5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, which, according to all of our research, meets the needs of the majority of sleepers.

Recent studies have revealed that most sleepers prefer to sleep on a mattress that falls between a level 5 and 7 out of 10, and surely the Nectar fits this mold.

A high density memory foam mattress that provides greater longevity, the Nectar has a highly recognized contour and hug that allows your body to sink right into the foams.

The mattress does, however, present with a response time that is rather slow. When sleepers move or change positions an instant response time is lacking.

Rather, it takes several seconds for the Nectar to mold to a new position or to any pressure that is being placed on the mattress by your body. This can be a tremendous source of pressure relief for some sleepers while offering support for others.

The overall support of the Nectar is very good, whether you are a stomach, back, or side sleeper primarily because of its 1” gel memory foam quilted cover and its 3” layer of comfort memory foam combined.

Together these combined features deliver consistent support and easy transition into the third and final base layer of foam.

How Many Layers does it have?

Quite a unique conforming mattress, the Nectar allows for the even distribution of weight, and easily molds and contours to your body. This 11” all-foam mattress is constructed with a quilted cover and two additional, separate foam layers:

1. The top layer cover provides cooling and cleanliness thanks to the Tencel fabric which is highly breathable and bedbug resistant.
2. The second layer is a quilted pad of gel memory foam designed to provide the utmost comfort and cooling effect, pulling heat away from the body, while offering a high level of pressure relief.
3. The next layer is made of Nectar’s patented LushFoam, which is the most premium gel memory foam available in the market and distributes both weight and heat smoothly.
4. The fourth layer is made of Hi Core adaptive foam, which provides great support.
5. Last is a breathable base layer made of high-density foam, which provides overall stability and increased ventilation thanks to its special design.

Nectar’s choice of materials for this mattress is impressive. And to be able to offer such quality at this low price point is truly a feat.

How is Motion Transfer and Sinkage?

The Nectar, like many of the other memory foam beds on the market today, absorbs motion easily, thereby alleviating any disruption that can be caused by your partners sleep patterns and movements.

Because of its very dense foam feel, there is not an excessive amount of bounce and, therefore, presents with low motion transfer.

With that said, the Nectar is quite capable of controlling motion transfer and if you are more concerned about a peaceful sleeping experience that presents with no motion, rather than excessive bounce, then surely the Nectar is the perfect fit for you.

Does it Sleep Hot?

Unlike most other memory foam mattresses that tend to sleep a bit warm, the Nectar offers a high level of cooling. The top gel memory foam, coupled with the infused cover helps to keep your temperatures comfortable and cool.

Being a high density memory foam mattress, however, some people may find the sleeping atmosphere to be somewhat warm when compared to latex, coil or hybrid mattresses.

Overall, our research did reveal that the Nectar is most definitely one of the cooler memory foam mattresses on the market today.

Does it have any Smell?

First out of the box, the Nectar has a somewhat strong smell for near to the first two days. After this timeframe, the smell begins to dissipate and by the end of a week’s time there is no noticeable smell any longer.

With that said, if the smell is not to your liking, then allow your Nectar to air out for the first two days before you actually sleep on it.

Does it Require a Foundation?

Nectar can sit directly on a box spring, a platform, or most other flat supportive surfaces. In addition, it can also be used with adjustable bed frames that can accommodate an 11” mattress.

You can also use your Nectar directly on the floor’s surface if that is your preference, but make certain that it is not exposed to excessive moisture or water.

What Type of Cover Does It Have?

The Nectar sports a cover that is made from a balanced blend of cotton and Tencel, a material made in China, making the cover quite soft and breathable.  Its unique composition contributes to cooling, softness and a very satisfactory feeling overall.

In addition, to its superior composition, the Nectar cover, though very basic in look, is still satisfying to the eye with its classic gray side panels, its top layer of white fabric and checkered pattern, and the Nectar logo delicately embossed into the fabric for a little added touch of class.

The cover can be unzipped and easily spot cleaned.  As an added benefit, the company offers a one-time replacement brand new cover, free of charge, should your cover become stained or damaged.

What is the Best Way to Care for the Nectar?

The Nectar requires no flipping, however, it is recommended that you rotate the mattress perhaps once or twice per year to prevent it from wearing down or from excessive sagging.

As for routine cleaning of your new Nectar, it is recommended you use cool water and a very mild dish detergent to clean any dirt and address any stains. Always use gentle circular motions when cleaning and never, ever rub.

How Durable is the Nectar Mattress?

According to our data, the Nectar has a long lifespan and fares well in this category when compared to other memory foam mattresses.

Since the company stands firmly behind their mattress, they are confident that purchasers will find the Nectar to be the one and only mattress they will ever want or need.

Our research revealed that consumers give the Nectar’s Forever Warranty a rating very high, above average and in many cases, the rating by consumers is excellent.

Nectar Mattress Review – Our Verdict

Nectar, overall, offers consumers a high quality product at a low cost. With its quality materials and construction, cooling system, and high levels of support, the Nectar presents with features and benefits that serve to set it apart from its competitors.

Absorbing motion easily, causing no disruption to a partner’s sleep, manufactured in the USA, and its minimal sinkage issues, make this an all-round good purchase.

In addition, its one-year risk free sleep trial, ‘Forever Warranty,” free shipping, easy return/refund process and very affordable prices finalize the long list of quality features and options offered to consumers at the time of their initial purchase and thereafter.

Overall, we think the Nectar is a very good purchase option as $799 for Queen (with our TEDVIP coupon) is a steal.

And lastly, thanks to its balanced features, we’ll soon add this mattress to our Top Mattress for Every Sleeping Position guide.
