It is also important to note, that while this review focuses mostly on Nectar’s Memory Foam Mattress, Nectar has multiple mattresses on offer, including, Hybrid Mattresses and a kid mattress!
Nectar knows how good of a deal their mattress is, which is why they offer a full 365 night trial period — enough to test sleeping on the mattress in every season — after which, you can still return if you’re not satisfied. This includes free return shipping in most parts of the UK. Nectar is one of the only mattress companies to offer such a generous trial. On top of that, they also offer a forever, lifetime warranty.
Overview
Nectar is a mattress company that has set out to offer “the best sleep of your life.” Not only do they go above and beyond in terms of mattress quality, but they also decided to make their mattresses affordable so that more people could benefit. Nectar offers premium materials with a comfort level that suits every type of body and sleep style. Furthermore, they offer an incredibly generous 365 night trial period with a lifetime warranty, as well as free named day shipping with old mattress removal available at an additional cost.
Construction
The Nectar mattress offers a temperature regulation system so that you won’t feel overly hot while you sleep. This system is made up of 5 layers, with each layer serving a different purpose:
Adaptive Cooling Cover
The top layer is made of a unique polymer material that is knitted into the cover of the mattress. The material works with your body heat: as your temperature rises, the cooling layer absorbs and evaporates moisture. It offers an even airflow so that heat doesn’t get trapped. Since it works independently with different temperatures, the cover will work for both you and your sleeping partner’s unique cooling needs.
Smart Memory Foam
Nectar maintains that this foam layer is 30 times more breathable than other memory foam. This 4th generation foam technology is designed to keep you comfortable throughout the night.
Pressure Relieving Memory Foam
The pressure relieving layer contours to the body with high-quality, non-toxic memory foam. The result is comfort and support to help promote a good night’s sleep.
7 Zone Supported Base
This innovative 7 zone supported base consists of a very dense, high-quality foam. This layer provides both strong support to maintain the structure and varying degree of firmness to cater to the differing needs of each part of the body. For example, there is a firmer zone located in the hip area and a softer zone in the area of the shoulders.
Positioning Base
The positioning base is the final layer in the Nectar mattress. It is fire-retardant and very durable. Its function is to keep your mattress firmly in place so it won’t move on your bed frame.
Nectar is CertiPUR certified, which means they’ve passed a rigorous test showing that they don’t use toxic chemicals in their foams.
Mattress Cover
Nectar’s Adaptive Cooling Cover is made of a unique and luxurious knitted fabric that is more breathable than cotton. It helps to regulate your body temperature and circulates the air every time you move. Though it is a great technology. The only downside is that it is not removable, so cleaning is a bit more difficult. However, Nectar assures you on their FAQ page that spot cleaning is effective.
Firmness, Feel & Support
Nectar claims to be a six on a firmness scale of one to ten. They judge themselves well. Their medium firm mattress gets it just right. Soft yet firm, every kind of firmness your body wants is covered.
They also say that every type of sleeper will feel at home on their mattress. It’s true. Side sleepers and back sleepers alike will find a comfortable and surprisingly supportive mattress greeting them every night. Nectar has even provided a detailed sleep position page.
The premium materials used combined with a strong support base leaves little room for sinkage in this mattress. A lot of foam mattresses can be sat on hard enough to feel the bed frame underneath. No matter how hard you sit on a Nectar, you will find it almost impossible to feel anything but premium foam.
It feels like you are lying on a cloud. The bed contours to your body in a way that makes you feel supported and yet as if you are floating with a firm supported base. Sleep comes pretty quickly as your body luxuriates in the comfort of the premium foam.
Those with sleeping partners who can’t lie still will be happy to know that there is no motion transfer. Nectar has seen to that with premium foam materials and a custom design that features firm edge support.
Purchase & Delivery Process
Nectar UK has recently partnered with Splitit to help those who need financing. Splitit is an online payment processor that allows consumers to set up an automatic monthly instalment plan.
Once you’ve bought the mattress, Nectar offers free name day shipping to all mainland residences with an £80 fee to some areas of the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland and a £100 fee to ship to UK and Channel Islands.
They also offer removal of your old mattress for an extra £35, which combined with free named day shipping and a 365 night trial period, is a fantastic deal.

This will probably be the last mattress I will ever buy, are they as good as Nectar say?
Is there a local supplier in the Caerphilly south Wales area. Do you collect the old mattress.?
Select the "Mattress Removal" option when you checkout online, and for just £35, Nectar will remove your old mattress and send it to a recycling centre.
iS IT POSSIBLE TO USE AN ELECTRIC UNDERBLANKET WITH NECTAR MATTRESS?
if after 365 nights we choose to return it surely there must be a catch somewhere , something to pay
Otherwise, you're just supposed to keep it for at least 30 days before attempting to return it (so that you have time to get used to it) and then you have up until 365 days to return it during the trial period. The mattress will be picked up by Nectar's charity partners since they cannot resell the mattress. If the charity partners say that the mattress is in such awful condition they can't accept it because you've mistreated it -- maybe there are cigarette burns covering it or some other form of mistreatment -- then Nectar will not process the full refund.
