The Nectar Mattress is one of the most popular memory foam mattress options on the market today, and it’s no wonder why with the lifetime warranty this manufacturer provides. In this review, we’ll compare the Nectar Sleep Mattress with some similar mattresses to see how it holds up.

What Is a Nectar Mattress?

A Nectar Mattress, or Nectar Sleep mattress, is a gel memory foam mattress design and brand launched by DreamCloud LLC in 2017. The company is headquartered in San Mateo, California. Nectar mattresses are available for purchase online, and each is delivered tightly compressed in a box.

Unboxing

After unboxing a Nectar mattress, it will take around 24 to 72 hours for it to expand fully. As with other memory foam mattresses, this mattress will initially give off a noticeable odor. This process is referred to as “off-gassing,” and it is common for this product.

Free Shipping and Returns 

DreamCloud LLC offers free shipping and returns for all Nectar Mattress purchases. The current Nectar tagline is: “The last mattress you’ll ever need to buy.”

Lifetime Warranty

A Nectar mattress comes with a lifetime warranty, whereas many memory foam mattresses come with a 10-year warranty. These warranty terms are exceptional for the product category.

365-Day Trial Period 

Besides the warranty, the company gives buyers a full year to try out a new Nectar Sleep mattress before deciding whether they want to keep it. This 365-night trial is only available to those purchasing from the Nectar website, but Amazon customers receive a generous 180-night trial for the mattress as well.

Frame Compatibility

The Nectar Sleep mattress works with all bed frame types, including box springs, slatted bed bases, and platform beds.

Nectar Mattress Specs

The Nectar mattress is made from five layers of foam within a structure designed to provide the most comfortable night’s sleep. All CertiPUR-US foam in the Nectar Sleep mattress is certified safe from heavy metals, ozone depleters, PBDEs, and TDCPP. Let’s take a closer look at some of the specific materials used in the construction of this high-quality mattress.

Tencel Cover 

The top layer on a Nectar Sleep mattress is the Tencel cooling cover. Tencel is a sustainable and environmentally friendly fabric made from wood pulp, and it is more durable than cotton, yet some say it feels as luxurious as silk. This specialty cover is designed to keep sleepers cool throughout the night and also protect the foam layers beneath.

Quilted Gel Memory Foam

A one-inch quilted gel memory foam layer provides smooth contouring comfort and helps with nighttime body temperature regulation.

Gel Memory Foam

Next, a three-inch layer of gel memory foam adds another element of comfort and cooling while working to distribute body weight throughout the mattress.

Adaptive, Hi-Core Memory Foam

Directly underneath those two gel memory foam layers is a half-inch layer of “adaptive hi-core” memory foam to further support the body. This material, unlike traditional memory foam, adds springiness to the mattress.

Breathable Base Layer  

A breathable base layer of foam provides the foundation for all the memory foam to rest on. This five-and-a-half inch support foam layer promotes air circulation and keeps the mattress stable.

Made in China 

According to the Federal Trade Commission, the Nectar mattress is “wholly imported from China.”

Pricing

Pricing for Nectar mattresses ranges from around $399 for a twin to around $900 for a king or California king-size mattress. We focused on and specifically evaluated the queen-size mattress in this line, which costs around $700 on Amazon.

Nectar Mattress

How comfortable the 11-inch Nectar mattress will be for you depends on your personal preferences. This mattress is firm. It’s labeled as medium-firm, but it’s definitely firm in our view. If you are looking for a plush mattress, this one isn’t for you. If you want a firm, contouring mattress, however, this one just might fit the bill. More comfort-level options would help Nectar Sleep cater to customers with a wider variety of sleep preferences.

Comfort

4 Out of 5 Stars

Support

5 Stars

The Nectar mattress comes in one comfort level: medium-firm. Memory foam mattresses are typically more firm than traditional innerspring mattresses, but this mattress feels firm rather than medium. That said, the mattress is fully supportive.

Durability

5 Stars

Everything about this mattress looks and feels high in quality. We aren’t surprised that the company backs each Nectar mattress with such a long and comprehensive warranty. The protective Tencel covering is comfortable and included with your mattress for free.

Warranty

4 Stars

Nectar provides a lifetime warranty on its mattresses. They also offer a 180-day to 365-day trial for the mattress, depending on where you choose to purchase it. Some people have reported having trouble returning the mattress during the trial period, however, so please double-check terms with the seller of your choice before buying.

PROS

• Minimal off-gassing odor reported
• Manufacturer provides a long warranty for this mattress
• This mattress works with all bed and frame types 
• Affordable pricing

CONS

• The Nectar mattress only comes in one comfort level, which is too firm for many sleepers
• This mattress provides only minimal side support

Casper Mattress

No products found.

Four layers of CertiPur-US foam make up the 10-inch Casper mattress we evaluated. A breathable open-cell foam forms the top layer, followed by high-density memory foam. Casper constructs the next layer from “zoned transition” foam, and a dense layer of support foam creates the base. The Casper Mattress is manufactured and designed in the U.S. This mattress is available online and will arrive compressed in a box.

Comfort

2 Out of 5 Stars

Most people find the Casper Mattress comfortable. No single mattress will work for everyone, however. This mattress is softer than many comparable memory foam mattresses, which earns it points in the books of plush mattress seekers.

One of the most common complaints about the Casper mattress is its strong off-gassing smell. All memory foam mattresses have off-gassing after compression for shipment, but the Casper Mattress may have one of the strongest and most enduring odors in the memory foam mattress world.

Support

3 Stars

For those who want or need a firm mattress for back support, a Casper mattress may not be the best choice. This softer memory foam mattress doesn’t offer enough support for many people.

Durability

3 Stars

The Casper mattress deserves an average durability rating. It likely won’t last through the 10-year warranty period, but the same could be said for many other memory foam mattresses. After a time, the mattress sags as the foam begins to break down.

Warranty

3 Stars

Casper offers a limited 10-year warranty on its mattresses. This warranty is voided if the mattress isn’t kept on an approved bed base type. The Casper mattress is suitable for use only on a “firm, solid surface,” according to the official Casper warranty, so it is not for use with box springs or slatted bed bases.

Casper offers a 100-night trial period with free returns during this time frame. However, many customers report having difficulty returning their Casper mattresses, so it may be important for you to confirm whether the trial period applies before purchasing a Casper product.

PROS

• A softer memory foam mattress option 
• May be more comfortable for heavier users 
• Helps regulate nighttime temperatures

CONS

• The mattress cover isn’t washable 
• Strong, lingering off-gassing aroma 
• Doesn’t offer enough back support for some

Sleep On Latex — Pure Green Natural Latex

No products found.

Four layers of CertiPur-US foam make up the 10-inch Casper mattress we evaluated. A breathable open-cell foam forms the top layer, followed by high-density memory foam. Casper constructs the next layer from “zoned transition” foam, and a dense layer of support foam creates the base. The Casper Mattress is manufactured and designed in the U.S. This mattress is available online and will arrive compressed in a box.

Comfort

5 Out of 5 Stars

The Sleep On Latex mattress comes in different firmnesses to accommodate different sleep types. They recommend the soft mattress for side sleepers; they design the medium mattress for back sleepers, side sleepers, and couples. The firm mattress is ideal for stomach sleepers or those who want or need a firm mattress.

Support

4 Stars

Sleep On Latex offers support options for many different types of sleepers. The firm mattress is sufficiently firm, and the soft mattress is adequately soft. The biggest issue with this mattress style is that it is thinner than many alternatives. You can opt for either a seven-inch version or a nine-inch model.

Durability

3 Stars

This natural materials in this mattress may not be as durable as those used by other manufacturers. The warranty only covers the mattress for 10 years, which leads us to believe that the mattress may be usable for only a fraction of that period. Some owners report noticeable indentations forming in the mattress after a relatively short period of time.

Warranty

3 Stars

Each new Pure Green natural latex mattress is covered by a limited 10-year warranty.

PROS

• Natural construction materials 
• Sleep On Latex offers a variety of accurately presented comfort levels 
• Affordable for an all-natural mattress 
• Excellent customer service

CONS

• The mattress cover isn’t washable 
• This isn’t the most durable mattress on the market
• Thinner than many mattresses 

Leesa Mattress

No products found.

The Leesa mattress we evaluated is made from three premium foam layers, including a two-inch cooling layer, a two-inch body-contouring layer, and a pressure-relieving six-inch base layer. Leesa mattresses are available for online box-delivered sale. This company donates one mattress to charity for every 10 mattresses sold, and Leesa mattresses are manufactured in the U.S.

Comfort

4 Out of 5 Stars

Many people find the Leesa mattress comfortable. It offers support without feeling too hard. The biggest concern plaguing this mattress is that, even with its cooling foam layer, many find that it runs hot at night. Also, this mattress may not be soft enough for some side sleepers.

Support

5 Stars

For most sleepers, the Leesa Mattress is very supportive. The mattress manages to feel both soft and firm to ease pressure points and prevent back aches.

Durability

2 Stars

There are many reports of Leesa mattresses sagging and wearing down after as little as one year of use, and this makes the foam quality used questionable. For $850 or so, most people expect and deserve a mattress that lasts longer than one or two years.

Warranty

3 Stars

Leesa offers a limited, non-transferable 10-year warranty for their mattress. Check with the retailer before buying a Leesa mattress to confirm whether this warranty applies. Also, note that this warranty coverage requires the use of the mattress on an approved bed frame or base. Leesa promotes a 100-night trial period for its mattresses, whether purchased directly from the maker or from Amazon.

PROS

• Supportive for back sleepers  
• Most buyers find this mattress design comfortable

CONS

• This mattress may not last as long as competitive models
• Some report that a Leesa Mattress is hot at night
• May be too firm for side sleepers

Conclusion

All things considered, we assigned the Nectar mattress 4.5 out of 5 stars as an overall value rating. It is a durable and well-made mattress backed by a lifetime warranty. The mattress is the only one in our review not made in the U.S., which might deter buyers. We like that a new Nectar mattress doesn’t put off a strong and long-lasting off-gassing scent, and that the Nectar Sleep mattress can be used with any bed base type. Overall, this mattress is a great value for the price if you enjoy a firm mattress.
