Like other all-foam mattresses, we found significant sinkage when sitting on or sleeping close to the edge. The Nectar mattress performed as we expected in our edge support testing. Ultimately the Nectar performed better with temperature neutrality than a lot of all-foam beds out there, but customers should be aware that it does have the potential to sleep a bit warm throughout the night. Nectar’s comfort layer is less dense and infused with gel, making the mattress a slightly cooler option than other memory foam competitors on the market. In general, low- and medium-density memory foam layers sleep a bit cooler than higher-density memory foam. Our in-house and external testing found that the Nectar mattress traps some heat throughout a night of sleep. On the other hand, people who prefer sleeping on – not in – a mattress may not be as satisfied with the bed. Those who enjoy that sensation will find the Nectar Mattress comfortable and supportive. Our testers noted that the experience of sleeping on a Nectar is more like sleeping “in” versus “on” a bed, especially for heavier individuals. Our testing found that the memory foam comfort layer absorbs and cradles the body, conforming evenly to different areas and evenly distributing weight across the surface. Pressure Reliefīody conforming is a key strength of the Nectar Mattress. VOCs are relatively harmless but they carry a distinct odor that many liken to plastic or rubber. This is quite normal for a memory foam bed, but customers should keep this in mind when purchasing a Nectar mattress.įor a bit more explanation, off-gassing often occurs with newer mattresses because unpacking them releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. We found that the Nectar had a distinct odor for a few days after unpacking, but eventually dissipated and wasn’t an issue after the initial few days. Given that, we believe the Nectar is a great option for sleepers who are easily disturbed by movements on the bed’s surface.

This is expected of memory foam mattresses with slower response foams, so our findings are on par with initial expectations. Both our internal testing team and our overnight sleep testers found they couldn’t feel any partner movement throughout the night. The Nectar mattress performed very well in our motion isolation tests. Lightweight sleepers are far less likely to notice any body impressions over the lifetime of the mattress. While we recommend the Nectar for average to heavyweight sleepers, there is always the possibility of body impressions over time, so we recommend rotating the mattress regularly.

Given the use of dense, high-quality foams and solid construction, we expect the bed to be quite durable based on the average mattress lifespan of 7-8 years. Due to how new the company is, we’re basing our durability ratings off of the materials used in the bed, quality of construction, and owner experience data over time. Nectar Sleep has been in business since 2016. These ratings are based on findings from our internal and external testing teams, as well as verified owner and customer experiences with the mattress. Next, let’s take a closer look at our performance ratings for the Nectar Mattress. This is slightly thicker than the average mattress, making it a good option for people who struggle getting on and off shorter beds. The result is a balanced, medium-firm feel that conforms closely without compromising overall support. Along with the transitional layer, the polyfoam base provides a firm base for the softer comfort layers. The Nectar Mattress has a support core of high-density polyfoam measuring 7 inches thick. This component enhances the body-hug sensation of the comfort layer and prevents sleepers from sagging too much. The mattress has a transitional layer of dense polyffoam that measures 2 inches. The cooling gel helps the material resist bothersome heat buildup. The foam also distributes weight evenly and consistently, making the bed especially well-suited for heavier sleepers. The result is a noticeable body hug that can alleviate aches and pains, prevent pressure points from building, and improve spinal alignment for side sleepers. The foam conforms very closely to the body without sinking too deeply.

The mattress has a 3-inch comfort layer gel memory foam. The bottom cover has an anti-slip surface to prevent the mattress from shifting during the night.

The Nectar Mattress has a cover made from a blend of polyester, polyethylene, and nylon.
