Sizes & Pricing

Nectar mattresses offer some of the lowest prices in the premium memory foam mattress industry. Their mattresses are available in 5 sizes in the UK, here is the pricing for the Nectar Memory Foam mattress.  Do note however, that Nectar often offers special deals for a more affordable purchase.

UK Single: The UK single mattress costs £475 and measures 190cm x 90cm x 25cm.

UK Small Double: The UK small double size mattress normally costs £600 and measures 120 x 190cm.

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.

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.

They also offer an extensive FAQ page and a YouTube channel featuring reviews and tutorials. Their blog is well written and frequently updated.

Amazing customer support

Verified
A "Top 5 Verified Review" means we've verified that the person writing the review purchased and used the product.

Nectar are unrivelled in customer support. Never, ever has one company and numerous customer support staff tried to make my purchase, comfort, and experience just incredibly perfect. I cannot praise them enough. Please don’t ‘try’ others, Nectar cannot be beaten.

Questions & Answers

Guest
Susan

This will probably be the last mattress I will ever buy, are they as good as Nectar say?

answer
The Nectar mattresses are very highly rated. With a 1-year trial period, you've really got nothing to lose with this mattress.
Guest
Ron Brown.

Is there a local supplier in the Caerphilly south Wales area. Do you collect the old mattress.?

answer
Nectar mattresses are purchased online, which saves in overhead costs. These savings are what allows Nectar to sell their mattresses to the consumer for such a reasonable price! Nectar mattresses are manufactured and shipped from the UK. Delivery is free to the mainland UK, with an extra charge for the UK Islands and Channel Islands.

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?

answer

Guest
michael angell

if after 365 nights we choose to return it surely there must be a catch somewhere , something to pay

answer
An £80 charge for return applies to some areas of Northern Ireland and some parts of the Scottish Highlands. For the UK Islands and the Channel Islands there is a charge of £100.

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.

Hello and good morning
I’m a 60 year old male, weight = 10.5 st. Height 5′ 10′.
needing a supportive single mattress, medium – firm. Can you please recommend for single, wooden slatted bed ,

answer
Nectar mattresses can work on a single slatted bed. They are considered "medium-firm" so this should be a good choice for you. It comes with free shipping and a 365 night sleep trial, so if you find you don't like it, you can return the mattress for a refund.

I am a 17 stone man with back issues. Is this mattress for me?

answer
Nectar says that their mattresses support all body weights. As for your back issues, as we are not healthcare providers, we cannot say whether a particular mattress will alleviate pain and must recommend that you speak with your doctor.
Guest

Does the mattress cope with tall, heavy people?

answer
Nectar comes with a 365 night sleep trial and a Forever Warranty so if you decide that it's uncomfortable for your height or there is another issue, you can return it.

I was looking for an Ortho type mattress Is the nectar mattress suitable

answer
Since we are not medical providers, we cannot say whether a mattress will have orthopaedic benefits. It does come with a 1 year trial period so if you like the looks of it, it's definitely worth a try. Then, if within the year you decide you don't like it, you can return it for free.

We have heard that memory foam mattresses retain heat. We need to be cool whilst sleeping.
Does this expel heat?

answer
The Nectar mattress includes several cooling features , like an adaptive cooling cover using Tencel fabric. You can try it for 365 days before deciding if you want to commit to the mattress. If you find it too hot, you can return it.
