Nectar Mattress Review

Lyocell's fiber structure is similar to cotton, linen, ramie and viscose rayon, and as of 2010, lyocell is more expensive to produce than any of the aforementioned fabrics.

​

The cover is removable and can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent or professionally dry-cleaned.

​

On a scale of firmness out of 10, with 10 being the firmest, I would place the Nectar at 6.5 to 7.5.

​

I also felt that whenever I changed positions, the mattress restricted my movement ever-so-slightly (and this could be as a result of my curvy hips), but not at any time did I experience a sinking-in or stuck sensation. 

​

​

Nectar is best for back and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers will also benefit, however, some curvy side sleepers may opt to add a mattress topper for a plusher feel around their hips.

​

Nectar's 365-day trial period is currently unheard of in the mattress industry. Even though you most likely won't find it necessary to return it, do take advantage of the risk-free opportunity to try out the mattress to ensure it meets, or optimally, exceeds your expectations.

​

You have absolutely nothing to lose and much to gain.

​

The base layer is important for support, and Nectar uses a dense memory foam of 2.2 pounds-per- cubic-foot, also known as ILD (Indentation Load Deflection). 

​

The minimum required by law is 1.5 pounds-per-cubic-foot.

​

By industry standards, Nectar’s use of a 2.2 pounds-per-cubic-foot high-density foam is exceptional
as most mattress brands use between 1.5 pounds-per-cubic-foot and 1.8 pounds-per-cubic-foot
of density.

​

My experience with testing the Nectar for 3 weeks is that it undoubtedly supported my spine. In fact,
it is firmer than its memory foam competitors.

​

If this level of firmness concerns you, you always have the option to soften the mattress a bit by adding a mattress topper. 

​

Remember that as long as the base, or core, layer of any mattress is of a good-quality dense foam (as in the case of Nectar), adding a topper won't diminish the support capabilities of the mattress.

​

​

The resiliency, or push-back response, of the memory foam on the Nectar is slow.

​

As is typical of a memory foam mattress, the Nectar has minimal bounce. However, this fact does not have a negative effect on intimate relations while on the mattress.

​

​

Though I rate Nectar as a Medium-firm to Firm on the firmness scale, I found the mattress still performs adequately for pressure point relief despite the fact that it's firmer than most other
memory foam mattresses.

I did experience minimal pressure on my hips by the third night, but it wasn’t enough to be a matter of concern, and it was only around my hips, not anywhere else on my body.

​

It took my body an additional 7-10 days to adjust to the Nectar, at which point, I no longer experienced any pressure around my hips.

​

To test a mattress for body contouring capabilities when lying on my side, I always conduct a gap test to see how much space there is between my waist and a mattress.

​

The more space there is, the less the mattress contours to your body.

​

Since minimal space was evident between my waist and the mattress, the Nectar passed my test.

​

As expected of an all-foam mattress, there was absolutely no noise at any time during my sleep tests.

​

​

I did not detect any motion transfer when my husband moved in his sleep or changed positions.

​

​

​

​

The durability of a mattress is determined by the foam density of its support layer. The denser the support layer, the more durable the mattress. By industry standards, the absolute minimum density required is 1.5 pounds-per-cubic-foot.

​

Many mattress brands, including some of Nectar's direct competitors, have a memory foam support layer of 1.8 pounds-per-cubic-foot.

​

The benefit of the Nectar mattress is that its support layer consists of 2.2 pounds-per-cubic-foot, which is approximately 46% denser than the minimum industry requirement of 1.5 pounds-per-cubic-foot and around 22% denser than its competitors.

​

​

The Nectar sleeps cool and I attribute its cooling properties to the breathable Tencel fabric used in the cover. 

​

Upon unboxing the Nectar, I did not experience any off-gassing from the mattress both during the setup or after the Nectar had fully inflated.

​

​

​

​

Customers love the fact that Nectar not only provides a top-quality mattress, but that the brand also matches the purchasing experience with top-notch service. And who doesn't appreciate being treated
with tender loving care?

​

Additionally, the great price-point makes purchasing a Nectar mattress a sweet deal.

​

On its website, Nectar is transparent both with the type of materials that is used in the manufacturing of its mattress as well as its customer reviews. 

​

To date, of the 520+  customers reviews on Nectar's site, the vast majority are 5 stars.

​

​

Nectar's lifetime warranty is currently one of only a few mattress brands with such a generous offer. 

​

Additionally, the brand is an industry leader in offering its customers a 365-day sleep trial. 

​

Collectively, the warranty and sleep trial make this truly a risk-free purchase and a win-win for
Nectar customers.

​

​

You can sleep easy knowing that in the event that you are not 100% satisfied with the Nectar mattress, you may return it for a prompt refund.

​

Even though you may find it unlikely that you'll return it, it's comforting to know that Nectar has a reputation for being trustworthy and for honoring its guarantees.

​

​

​

Nectar is definitely a brand to watch. From my experience with testing the mattress, I anticipate that Nectar will continue to surprise and thrill its customers, whose loyalty have become quite apparent.

​

I am confident in recommending Nectar and I give it two thumbs-up.
