As can often be the case with all-foam mattresses, it feels quite different as it warms up, its top comfort layers becoming increasingly soft throughout the night. To elaborate, although its top layers feel soft, the Nectar’s foundation, like Simba’s, is firm enough to feel stable even when used on a sprung slatted bed.Īnd now I’ll come to my only real gripe with the Nectar mattress. Overall, it’s a very similar sensation to the Simba Hybrid and quite different to the Casper and Emma Original, which feel softer throughout. Unlike the Eve Original and Otty, which are at the firm end the scale, the Nectar lets your hips sink into a considerable amount of soft foam – 90mm to be precise – before you come up against much resistance from the firm foundation below. My first impression was that it delivered excellent levels of support and comfort. Thankfully, I had no such problems when I first laid on the 260mm-thick Nectar mattress. There’s no science that more depth indicates better performance per se but, in my experience, thinner mattresses such as the Eve Hybrid and Ikea Morgedal (medium firm) lack sufficient support when used on flexible, sprung slatted beds. Nectar Mattress review: Comfort and performanceĪfter removing the Nectar from its box and letting it fully expand the first thing that struck me about the Nectar mattress was its thickness. The all-foam Eve Original, on the other hand, is a little more expensive, costing £700 and £800 in those sizes. The Emma Original, having also had its price slashed, is a fraction cheaper than the Nectar, costing £530 and £609 in double and king sizes, respectively. That’s £50 cheaper than the Otty Hybrid, which once stood out for being cheaper than many of its bed-in-a-box competitors. Indeed, where it originally cost £700 for a double and £800 for a king, it’s now £550 and £650 in double and king sizes, respectively, before taking into account any discounts. The Nectar mattress was more expensive than many of its rivals when it launched, but that’s changed over recent months. Nectar Mattress review: Price and competition Moreover, although its cover can be unzipped, the company doesn’t recommend putting it in the washing machine as you can with the top covers for Emma Original, Otty, Simba Hybrid and Eve Original mattresses. The mattress works with all bed types, but there are no handles to help you move it. In short, this means the company will replace your mattress if it’s defective in the first ten years, after which it’ll repair and re-cover your Nectar if there’s a fault. It also comes with a “Forever” guarantee. Unlike some boxed mattresses, the Nectar is made from Certipur foam, meaning it contains no ozone depleters, TDCPP, mercury or lead. Next, there’s 50mm of soft visco foam that helps with pressure relief and, finally, it has a 160mm, seven-zone, firm foundation layer. On the top, there’s 40mm of breathable “visco” memory foam designed to regulate temperature. Like Eve and Emma, it comprises three layers of foam. Having the extra time to decide, then, is no bad thing.Īpart from the 365-night trial, there’s not a huge amount that separates the Nectar mattress from its many rivals. After all, it’s only after a couple of months, if not longer, that a mattress becomes properly broken in and it’s only then that you get an idea of how it will feel like in the long term. You could argue that 100 nights is plenty of time to decide whether a mattress is right for you but there’s definitely a benefit to having a longer trial period.

Standing out in such a competitive industry is no small task but the US company has achieved it by offering an absurdly long trial period. Nectar is a relative newcomer to the UK bed-in-a-box scene, following in the footsteps of companies such as Simba, Otty, Emma and Eve, to name just a few of its rivals.
