Is Nectar Mattress Eco-Friendly?
Nectar Mattress is made with Certi-Pur foam, which is a certification given to foams attesting to its contents and emissions. A CertiPUR-US certification means a foam is made without chlorofluorocarbons, which are known ozone-depleters. Although they are already banned by law in the USA, they are still legal and used in other parts of the world. A CertiPUR-US foam does not contain PBDEs (a flame retardant that was banned by the EPA) or Tris flame retardants (identified by the Globally Harmonized System as potentially dangerous substances). Although foams rarely contain metal, a foam with this certification does not contain any heavy metals. These foams do not contain any formaldehyde or prohibited phthalates and goes a step further by testing for phthalates that are not officially banned but are controlled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Most importantly, a CertiPUR-US compliant foam has been tested to prove that its VOCs are only 0.5 parts per million.

Sleeping on the Nectar Mattress
Sleeping on Nectar mattress was an excellent experience for me as a side sleeper. Since this mattress is on the softer side of medium, my shoulders and hips could sink into the mattress, allowing my spine to stay aligned while I was sleeping. Instead of sleeping on top of the mattress, you will feel like you are sleeping in the mattress because it has a good “hug” to it. It offered quite good pressure relief in my hips, which are quite sensitive as a side sleeper.
Unboxing
The Nectar mattress comes in a very heavy duty box that stood up to the stress of shipping very well. The mattress comes compressed and vacuum-sealed in plastic. Unboxing and unrolling the mattress with a friend was easy and fun! It took about two minutes for it to puff up and take its shape and in two hours, it was in perfect condition.
Construction
This mattress comes with three different layers of memory foam over a firm base foam that gives the mattress its shape. The cover is actually very cool to the touch and slept very cool. The mattress is about 11 inches high. Even though this mattress is made of memory foam, it is actually a bit bouncy, which was a big surprise!
Motion Transfer
I slept on this mattress next to my husband and the motion transfer was very minimal. I did not feel any movement while I was asleep, and I am a light sleeper.
Off-Gassing
I smelled absolutely no off-gassing when I opened this mattress, which is probably due to the fact that they use Certi-Pur f oam.
Edge Support
When you sit directly on the side of the Nectar mattress, it does compress quite a bit, which is typical for an all-foam bed. When I laid on the mattress near the edge, I felt just as supported as I did in the middle. You will be able to use the entire surface of the mattress for sleeping, which is excellent for couples.
Don’t Just Take My Word for It
The Nectar mattress has over 5,000 reviews from their customers and almost all of them are 5 stars! One reviewer shared a sentiment I can really identify with: “Nectar has great prices and amazing mattresses!”
Trial and Pricing
You can sleep on the Nectar mattress for 365 nights and decide for yourself whether this is the bed for you. This mattress also comes with a lifetime warranty! It will run you 699 for a queen-sized mattress.
