Nectar 12" Mattress - Medium Firm Gel Memory Foam

I’ve been very impressed with the Nectar Classic 12” Memory Foam Mattress. The medium-firm feel strikes a great balance between support and comfort. It contours nicely without feeling like you’re sinking too much, and it does a great job relieving pressure on the back and shoulders. The cooling top layer is a nice touch as well. I tend to sleep warm and this mattress stays comfortable through the night. Setup was easy (typical mattress-in-a-box), and it expanded quickly once unwrapped. For the price, the quality feels excellent. It’s supportive, quiet, and minimizes motion transfer, which makes it a solid choice whether it’s for a main bed, guest room, or dorm setup. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Great Mattress for the price. It’s very comfortable. I slept for 12 hours the first night. I have a severe back injury and this bed is very comfortable for me. It is the second bed I’ve purchased in the last 7 years. I’m very happy with this mattress. Great Quality and easy to set up. Just the right firmness to be comfortable.

We’ve had this mattress out for almost 72 hours with 2 nights of sleep. Was not impressed. #1 our mattress never went to its full size. Each corner was dented in and it caused the middle to be much higher than the rest of the bed. 2. It advertised this mattress as a 6.5 between firmness and softness. We needed some sort of firmness so that I could breastfeed, yet be soft enough to be comfortable. I haven’t found firmness. After sitting (or applying too much pressure at pressure points of the body) I sink so far in that my MIDDLE BACK feels the mattress. This also makes it extremely hard to breastfeed. When trying to adjust, the baby sinks into the pressure spots (as I apply more pressure than she does due to adult vs child). Even after NUMEROUS pillows, there is just no support, especially since the mattress never evened out. 3. The last 2 nights of sleeping on this mattress, I’ve awaken with pain in one of my legs. (I have to sleep on my side to breastfeed and I alternate throughout the night). And the pain hasn’t died down. This mattress was advertised to ease pain, not cause it- but I’m having the opposite effect. Ultimately, we will be trying to return this ASAP. Update!: we decided to keep it a little longer and allow it to shape/form correctly. We placed it on an actual bed support and it was immediately a change for the better. I’m not sure if all the cushion on carpeted floor was the reason, but it was night & day after putting it on a platform bed. Super comfortable, and the movement doesn’t effect everyone sleeping in the bed. Reminds me of that wine commercial mattress. I haven’t done wine, but I’ve done a glass of water and it held place while I got off the bed. It hugs your body without making you feel like you’re sinking into the mattress. Super comfortable & the mattress shaped itself out in a few days after my initial review. No body pains, better sleep, and even my husband doesn’t snore as much or as loud when he does snore. Definitely such a difference from when he falls asleep on the couch watching tv. SO grateful we gave it time & kept it! Definitely a gem for a fraction of the cost of other mattresses. 💯

2nd Update: we have decided to return the mattress. We are so thankful for the 365 night trial. We feel this mattress may just be a bit too soft for us. While it’s extremely comfortable to feel like we are sleeping “in” the mattress, we don’t think it was ideal for my neck, shoulders, and back. So far Nectar customer service has been extremely helpful. I had to send photos of the mattress, then they sent someone to pick it up. Now, just waiting for a refund. They tell me it will take 10-15 days. They asked for my bank account info, which I wasn’t fond of, but hoping it will all turn out ok! UPDATE: I’m still sleeping very well and overall really like the mattress. I’m concerned it will wear out quickly though. We bought it in September and it’s now March and we had to rotate the mattress because I was getting very noticeable back and neck soreness every morning that was different than the original soreness I experienced. The mattress was noticeably more stiff when we rotated it, so we will see as time progresses if continuing to rotate it every few months will do the trick. I did a ton of research about mattresses. My husband and I are both primarily back sleepers, and he has some sciatic nerve pain. His nerve pain is now gone, and we are sleeping great. I love that I can barely feel when he moves! I’m dealing with a little bit of back and neck soreness but I think I have to figure out my pillow situation since I sink into this mattress more than my previous one. For reference, we are mid-30’s. I’m 175 lbs and my husband is 200 lbs. Also, be sure you pursue the free serenity sleep bundle! (Contact Nectar with your Amazon order info). The pillows are HEAVENLY.

I think this bed is seriously impressive. It feels amazing to sleep on every single night. The support is outstanding, and I wake up feeling properly supported instead of stiff or sore. The thickness, especially on top of a metal frame, makes the bed sit fairly high, which I actually like. It gives it a substantial, a huge functional feel as we use under the bed as storage now. On top of that, it’s incredibly cozy and i think for me it is the perfect balance of supportive and comfortable. The main reason I replaced my old mattress was the noise and back pain. It creaked every time I moved, and it was constantly waking my partner up. This mattress completely solved that problem. It’s totally silent so far, and that makes getting in and out of bed is peaceful now, and there’s no more disruption during the night. As for weight, it is pretty hefty. Moving it wasn’t the easiest task, but that also speaks to its solid build quality. Overall, it’s been a major upgrade and absolutely worth it.
