I realize Nectar fans probably won't like my conclusion, and there is no disrespect intended toward Nectar or those who like it! I tried to keep in mind that many people do love this mattress, but it just isn't for me. Rather than accept a free product as some reviewers do, I paid full price with the intent of giving my honest opinion, and hoped I would like it enough to keep. Alas, I will be carefully documenting the return because I've read comments that the return process could be problematic. I'll give you a full unbiased report on how that goes. Also, to clarify, I sleep on my side about 75% of the time, and my back about 25% of the time.
The mattress I've bought 2 of is the Loom and Leaf from Saatva. Its a direct to consumer memory foam mattress. White glove delivery because they dont squish it in a box. It gives the perfect amount of soft and firmness you might be looking for, James
As long as your review is fair an unbiased nobody can complain about your conclusions. You do a great job of playing devil's advocate for all products.
I had the Nectar mattress and as you I gave up on the mattress after about 9 months. Most of the things you encountered are what I experienced. Their return process worked for me but what I ended up doing was I donated the mattress to a non-profit organization and they provided me a letter of acceptance which I emailed to Nectar and in turn they refunded my money. I ended up going with their sister/parent company Dream Cloud Sleep mattress, it's a more expensive line product but I'm very pleased with it and have been using it now for a few years now. Thanks for your review.
I remember when you purchased and tested your Purple mattress and you said that it was a game changer for you. That really stuck with me. I've seen other reviews for the Purple mattress and most of them say the exact same thing. I'm glad you reviewed a memory mattress and was able to compare it to the Purple mattress because that gives a real comparison that is usuable.
Appreciate this, especially the observations regarding the ability to turn and move as I move a lot. The last mattress I bought was a super cheap, no frills, standard build extra firm mattress I needed to get by with for just a few months at a training program away from home. I liked it so much that I hauled it home and swapped it with my regular mattress. I've had it for something just shy of 20 years but it's finally begun to sag. It's actually hard to find that kind of cool, extra firm, old style build type of mattress now.
Over the years we've used a Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress, a Simmons inner-spring mattress, a Sleep Number bed, tried a couple of different bed-in-a-box brands and finally settled on an Avocado mattress, which uses a combination of inner-spring and memory foam to hit that "Goldilocks zone" in comfort for us. It's spendy (almost as much as the Tempur-Pedic and about the same as the Sleep Number), but as side sleepers who tend to roll around a lot we still think this is the best mattress we've ever owned after 2 years of use.
I still have the original Tempurpedic mattress. It's around 17yo. Still good and since I have two Tempurpedic covers to alternate when washing It's still in its original form. They don't make the original anymore which is a shame. I think the mattress is still in good condition because it's only used for sleeping and not for watching TV, reading or relaxing. Once I'm out of bed I'm out of it for the day. Thanks for your honest review .
Can you show in the update how you repackaged that back up for return? I can imagine that would be worthy of a video on its own. Thanks once again for taking one for the team!
@@austins6210 Yeah I was going to say, without an industrial machine, not sure anyone could box that back up. My memory foam mattress came in a reasonable sized box and there is not a snow balls chance it could ever fit in their again by myself.
I have had a Nectar Mattress for over a year, I like it but I sleep on my back. I don't think it's great or stands out but it definitely feels fine. Thanks for your honest review
I've had my Nectar for about two years. Queen size. It came with two pillows only, would have loved the extra sheet and pillow case set. We also added the motorized frame with head and foot massage. I have never loved a bed more - in fact when sleeping other places and on higher end mattresses - I truly miss my Nectar sleep. I no longer have back or neck pain from sleeping. The motorized frame is wonderful for sleeping slightly elevated, sitting up to watch tv, or elevating my legs. Great and honest review, as always! It's true - it's not for everyone, but compared to the memory foam hybrid we used to have - this one is soft and contouring at the same time. I also start sleep on my side most of the time and end up on my back. The edge sleep "drop off" I don't find to be a noticeable issue for me. I've slept on crappy mattresses for years, and this investment for us was well worth it. With two people, the mattress holds up great. My other one felt like a balloon and often changed shape when getting in and out together - this one doesn't do that at all! And for me I love the pillows, they give my neck the support and contour I need. Hubby prefers a flatter pillow so I have claimed them both! I can say if we ever decide to go up to King, we will go with Nectar again for sure. My only one tidbit of a complaint is the L bar that holds the mattress from sliding down when elevated isn't adjustable, which I would prefer to not have a huge gap between headboard and mattress, as my pillows fall in on occasion - but that problem has been for every mattress I've ever had, so nothing new with that. I believe it is related to our sleigh bed frame that the motorized frame fits inside of. Just need to push mattress up every couple of months for us any way. ;)
Yup. Same here! Returned it. And the process wasn’t smooth either. If your card changes in that time or expires, they make it really hard for you to get your money back.
How fitting that before I watched this video, I got an ad for the Purple mattress - almost as if it was an ominous sign about the conclusion of this review and a subtle reminder about which mattress James really thinks is better 😅
I have a Purple mattress! Very unique. I too did the "egg test" and it passed with flying chickens! P.S. Purchased my Purple Hybrid almost 3 years ago and love it with my Purple Harmony pillow and I only use the Purple bed sheets (plus my Purple bed frame and I'm sitting on my Purple seat cushion).
I have to say, "Most highly advertised" it must depend on what region of the country you live in. I have never heard of the Nectar mattress, around here you see the Casper Mattress advertised. Like that makes a difference, they are both memory foam. Great review though. 🙂🙂
If you want to do another mattress review I would suggest the Allswell. I too am someone who turns in my sleep and am mostly a side sleeper. I tried and returned several mattresses including the original purple mattress but I personally just don't do well on foam, I would have loved to try the new purple mattress but I just couldn't afford the price tag. I eventually chose to try the Allswell, this was before walmart bought the company and I have been enjoying it for about 2 years now.
I have the less expensive Nectar mattress which is firmer and does not experience the "sinking" you are with the one you have. I also have it on a platform type setting, the mattress sits on 3/4 inch plywood and nothing else. Mine works great....
Came here to say the nectar is my favorite mattress ever but I totally respect your conclusion like everyone likes different things in their mattresses I don't think there will ever be 1 that everyone loves
I'm strictly a side sleeper on a twin bed, so the "cavern" pretty much is the same on either side. I have a different memory foam mattress now, but I'm switching for a cooling nectar mattress. I tested it in store, and I loved it! I'm sorry it didn't work for you, though!
Love my nectar. The ONLY mattress I can get a full nights sleep on without my back killing me. I move a lot in my sleep. Side and back sleeper. And I sleep hot. So that’s saying a lot lol. I’ve tried 2 different memory foam mattresses in my rv and they both kill my back. So there is a difference for sure.
A thousand times yes! I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and I want to like it but I done. The edges are terrible and I almost fall out of bed because the side sink so much! Aggravating! It is hard to turn over in as well and I can’t relax and enjoy tv because I sink in and can’t move. Please update on the return process when you can. I have slept on a purple and loved it. I should have just gotten one instead. 😩
Being a belly sleeper, I love Nectar. I wanted memory foam but most seem for back/side sleepers and my old Ikea mattress was giving me issues (wicked back pain). Within a few weeks of this mattress, it mostly went away. That firmness was key as without support, my lumbar wasn't supported and stretched. YMMV as it comes down to what is right for you, but for a belly sleeper... I love it (and I feel that part was not tested but again, we're all different). The pillows are also pretty nice imo.
I just ordered this mattress & im a bit skeptical after reading loads of bad reviews but then some good reviews and promising UA-cam video reviews. I am a belly sleeper myself and I don’t move around much in my sleep I don’t really tend to sleep on the edge either but in the middle. I think I’ll like this mattress & I can always add a foam pad on top to add extra support if needed. I really hope I like this mattress currently using a twin box spring with a foam pad on top. Upgrading to the Queen nectar. We shall see.
@@Meme-hi5gm it’s been 8 months sleeping in my nectar. I gotta say it’s totally worth every penny! I got the adjustable bed frame as well. Total I spent like $1,500 but totally worth it! Im never waking up in pain even when I had suffered from a back injury it got me through.
We started out with a Tempurpedic way back when they were "the latest and greatest"... had to have them replace twice due to sinking in middle, (we spoon). About 3 years ago we went with a 100% organic natural latex, best thing we ever did. All latex, no springs 3 layers: soft, medium, firm - queen split. I have mine set up different than Hubby and we still spoon and it's great! We are very happy with this mattress, made by a company in AZ been around for 30 years. Their pillows are excellent and the price was cheaper than Purple but more expensive than this one you reviewed. We already had a platform bed frame so we didn't need to get one. We hated the fact that memory foam does exactly what you said and in winter, turning over on your pillow was startling as it gets harder in colder conditions. Funny story, my hubby took his Tempurpedic pillow to a boy scout camp in winter in Colorado- temps were in the teens. As they packed up he tossed his pillow to my brother in law and it knocked the breath out of him, it was so hard and heavy. He couldn't believe Sam slept on it! His face was horrified at the thought. Memory foam actually caused more issues than it cures. Keep it in space at zero gravity, that where it belongs. Smiles and blessings...
My wife and I bought one and we struggled with it for a bit. We called them to return it and they sent us a foam pad to try. That actually helped us enjoy it a lot.
I really appreciate this review. The vast majority of Nectar reviews are paid/sponsored bull crap. I sell mattresses for a living and we have a few nectars at my store. They are fine but you can find something better for the same price.
As a consumer it's absolutely frustrating that so many of these are paid/sponsored garbage. The comment section on those videos are even filled with bots spreading sponsored information. It's horrible.
My wife and I purchased the Nectar king and a bed frame. Used it for two nights so far. Wife likes it but I turn in my sleep and the memory foam is a problem for me when I turn. Perhaps a foam topper would help me with that. I am going to contact Nectar to ask them that has helped others
I can't sleep on uneven, too soft or sunken mattress cos I can get body pain, I can only sleep on flat/semi hard surface. I've had injury on my neck muscles and had a long therapy and the last thing people with back pain injury or neck injury need is soft bed. I only slept on tatami bed since then. Love your sharing cos now I know they are not suitable for me.
We recently bought a new mattress. All of the furniture stores had the Nectar mattress and were really pushing it. Both my husband and I laid on it in the store and neither one of us liked it. Both of us have back issues and it did not see like it would be good for back issues. We ended up getting a Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid (springs and memory foam) and it was a good choice for us.
I decided to try a memory foam topper, The one I got isn't anything extraordinary but it has 2 sides, a softer and a firmer side. I figured I would use the softer side, I had to flip it over to the firmer side, my back was killing me after a few weeks, I really needed the firmer support.
So I got a nectar ad for a mid roll on this video and a purple mattress ad for the end roll. first time I have had an ad for the product being reviewed while watching the review
*I hate this mattress!* I bought mine 6 months ago worst purchase I’ve made. I’m 250 pounds and sink way to far. No support at all and you want to flip during night it takes so much energy to climb out the hole and roll. Plus, I’m constantly finding the unsupported edge and feeling like I’m going to fall off. Also, it traps heat like a heat sink. I feel like I’m sleeping on a furnace. I can’t return it because it comes in a box shrink wrapped and folded in half. There’s no way anyone can get the bed back in the box.. I’ve owned memory foam my hole life. Loved it. Now I’m miserable and eventually going to waste another $1000. I’m glad to see he gave such an honest review to keep others from wasting their hard earned money.
Remember, in case you don't know, you NEVER have to "box it back up".....they know nobody has an industrial rolling machine at home. They'll send a truck and take it.....or ask you to donate to a charity and provide a "note" from the charitable organization, then they'll refund your money.
Valid points for your video! I have had my nectar mattress for over two years and absolutely love it! I think you missed one of the biggest pros of a memory foam mattress though... the adjustable bed frame! It's a total game changer. Great for watching TV or reading in bed and sleeping elevated some when your not feeling well.
@@loveforeignaccents Yeah, the adjustable frame isn't super attractive, but it isn't ugly by any means. To each their own, but for me it's usefulness outweighs it's looks.
@adamc1906 Hey do you still have n use that Nectar mattress? I was also very surprised that he didn't talk about the adjustable functionality of the bed at all. I was curious to see how hard it was to set up, how loud it was when changing positions... stuff like that. Hope you are still enjoying your Nectar!
I got a generic memory foam topper for my camper. My complaint is that it always felt "damp" and made me uncomfortable, even when running the air conditioner. Not sure if this is true of all of them, but it is something I would consider-air flow.
We love our Nectar! It was an adjustment. I'm overweight, arthritic knees, a side sleeper and shift a few times a night. My husband has back issues and is a side/edge sleeper. We feel more rested and less pain. It also sleeps cooler. He needs soft and I, firm - this works for both. But it is entirely personal preference.
Thank you ! I have degenerate disc disease and me and my girlfriend just got this delivered today. Excited to see how it works for my excruciating full back pain.
I have mixed feelings about Nectar. I have a hybrid and some days- I feel like i am sinking other times not so much. 😒 One day my lower back started spasming then a week later it was my neck. This is my third mattress! I wish I could afford a Stearns and Foster. They are so expensive now 😢
Is your Purple mattress your everyday sleeper and what was the reasoning behind wanting to try this? Is the Purple giving you issues or just looking to see if there's anything better?
I’m a sideway sleeper and I absolutely 100% love it. Sleep in the traditional spring mattress pillow top all my life and I will say I like this nectar mattress a lot better. Mattress type is a preference. My wife like firm mattress and I don’t and we both seem to like this one. Bottom line is everyone sleeps differently and like different mattress so just try it for yourself and find what you like
I couldn’t stand my Nectar Mattress. I also bought mine with a package on sale and had to return it. I love memory foam mattresses and now own a Tempur-Pedic, which is great. The biggest problem I had was that when I laid on it, the soft upper part would completely compress, leaving me laying down on the hardest chunk of foam rubber ever! I’m not especially overweight but I do have a few extra pounds and it was just impossible to get comfortable with so many pressure points. It cost more to get the Tempur-Pedic but it has been totally worth it.
My daughter have Tempur-Pedic, very nice I lay her bed, I love it! Her bed size twin cost her 1,000.00 that her grandfather pay for it and gift to her. I wanna double bed Tempur-Pedic that help my back, it's very soft-firm! But it cost more than twin bed cost.. 😖
I like the nectar martress. I am a back sleeper. So I have a bad back due to a motercycle accident. There is not very much pain when I wake up. So I think it helps. If your a side sleeper it doesn't work too well, prices are high. Hope you get a better bed.
I have a nectar premier and love it. Memory foam mattresses can be polarizing. If you’re the type of person who likes memory foam I would HIGHLY suggest it. If you don’t like memory foam I’d get something else. It’s definitely a different experience to a pillow top.
Memory foam sleeps too hot for me and while I like the initial feeling, they're so uncomfortable to me once you hit that base layer of foam that's always so firm. I sleep on a high resilience foam mattress and I love it. It's the most uncommon type of foam mattress out there, but it sleeps cooler and the support feels more akin to that of a innerspring mattress.
Its the the most common type of foam but uncommon type for a foam mattress,foam used in orthopaedic beds high end sofa,car seat ect. Biggest question is, yours layered or 1 solid piece.
Great review, James. I recently bought a brand new mattress, and it was between a Tempur-Pedic, Purple, and Nectar. I fell in love with the Purple 3, and my wife really loved the Tempur-Pedic. There were three different Nectar mattresses in store to try. The most expensive one was about $2,000 for a King-sized, and it was fine. The Tempur-Pedic we looked at was $3800, and honestly the top of the line Nectar we had tried felt slightly less comfortable. For $1800 though, I figure it's a fine trade-off. This is anecdotal as could be, but the salesman in the store and I were chatting it up about different things, and she mentioned that the Nectar rep that comes by even admits to not buy the lowest end model. True or not, I can attest to the lower comfort quality. I tried resting on it, and it's simply nowhere near the quality of the other mattresses I tried. This is probably a personal bias, but I found the mattress at my house that I am replacing, which is a Sealy from Big Lots, felt more comfortable. Base Nectar mattress simply feels too cheap.
My husband and I are 65+. Pain in joints became an issue for both of us; including back issues. For us, with chronic pain, Memory Foam was the worst mattress to sleep on. Memory Foam pushes back against you; we both feel Memory Foam increased our chronic pain. We would never sleep on it again. Unfortunately, we found out the hard way; and, it cost us a fortune.
Just got one and I definitely have to get used to this mattress, feels like i sink into the bottom layer and just hit a wall, overall the first night was good, didnt wake up with any aches or pains and also my previous mattress used to make my right leg fall asleep (prickly needle feel), didnt have that with the nectar mattress.
I love memory foam because I hate springs jabbing into my body! I have been so bombarded by ads of this thing that it made me never want to buy it! I have a Casper mattress which I have been using for a couple years now. I like it a lot.
Well, glad we paid the extra for a Sleep Number. I was tempted to try one of these. My worries were exactly as you stated. If I move with the "memory", how uncomfortable will it be until it remembers the new position.
I have a memory foam, different brand, and even cheaper. I like it a lot. All you say about it is true as far as sinking, edge, etc. I love it anyway. Memory foam is the only mattress I've ever had that I feel comfortable on - no back pain even though I have a very bad back. Mattresses are very individual and I'm sure memory foam is not the best for everyone. I might like a Purple mattress but, unfortunately, I cannot afford one of those. A very firm mattress does hurt my back, my hips, my shoulders, etc. I need the soft/firm feel.
I have a purple mattress, and it is firm because of the spring base. Granted it it a purple 2 with only 2 inches of grid, but it is a lot firmer than the Tempurpedic and Tuft & Needle mattress I owned before it. If you like a soft mattress I would stick to memory foam.
Try a "Pure Green" Sleep on Latex mattress. We got one almost a year ago and we're extremely satisfied. Latex is vastly superior in my opinion. It doesn't suck you in like foam and is much cooler. I can't stand memory foam it feels like I'm sleeping in sand. I'm a big guy so foam is like being trapped.
6:30 (ish) I have that exact problem with my regular memory foam mattress topper. Anytime I want to roll over I have to literally 'get up' and rotate my entire body so I stay in the exact same location. Not really a fan.
I have a memory foam mattress that's more firm at the start. it doesn't dent nearly as much as yours. Thus when I roll over it's not that big a deal with climbing the cliffs of doom. You'd think a more firm mattress would be uncomfortable, but after I got used to it after a few days (not weeks) then it was really nice. I sleep more soundly than I ever did on a pillow top spring mattress.
I tried this mattress out early last year but did not enjoy the feel. Decided to go with the Nest Alexander Signature Hybrid I think they renamed it to the Sparrow Signature Hybrid. Either way, I have had it for over a year and love it. Best part is, you can unzip the top part of mattress in order to change out comfort foam and extend the life of bed.
Thank you your review is very helpful regarding the slow respond rate when changing position. I was deciding this and the Casper and this review really help me understand the slow response of the memory foam, which I never have the experience of lying on.
Must be common … I got a Bloom memory foam mattress and it smelled like pure weed for MONTHS! I was actually starting to think it had been used to smuggle drugs. 😂 I was tempted to cut it open. I ended up taking all the sheets and blankets off everyday after I got up so it would air out. But I really love the mattress so it was worth it. I still get the occasional whiff of pot though if I plop down too hard. 🤷🏻♀️
Memory foam works best for me when it is the "pillow top" portion of a regular, firm mattress. I've never liked the idea of a whole mattress being made out of the stuff.
I don't think they make a full memory foam mattress. It's always some combination of layers with the bottom most(and biggest) layer being some type of harder foam. Most likely because it's cheaper and also probably because if the entire mattress was made of the soft memory foam, you'd sink to the bottom. I'd imagine that wouldn't be very conformable or enjoyable.
I absolutely agree. I like a soft top, with firm support. People hate on old fashion spring mattresses, but they are great if you get a good one with a pillow top foam layer on top.
We purchased the Purple 2 because of your review. We are very pleased with our purchase, but it is an investment. We tested other mattresses at Dever Mattress, as they carry the Purple. We didn't care for the memory foam mattresses for the same reasons you described, it felt lumpy, for a few minutes, when ever we rolled over. Thank for all the great reviews, we have purchased many items that you gave good reviews on. Would say our favorite things are the Purple mattress and the Pizzazz.
I purchased this in a king 4 years ago and originally loved it. But like you said over time it's soft but too firm. I've grown to hate it and i have a bad back and this has definitely made it worse. I haven't slept great in 2 years on it. I'm so trying to figure out which one to buy next. I like really soft with a touch of firmness.
I tried the Ghost Bed a few months ago and the all memory foam mattress was painful to use for me. I had to keep it for 30 days in order to exchange it. I exchanged it for the one with coils and that one is very comfortable. Not being able to move around on memory foam mattress is also not very comfortable for me.
I've got a simba (same thing different brand) I can honestly say it's the worst mattress I've ever owned. Long draw out process to return and they lie and put obstacles into the way such as sending an engineer with a tape measure and level to look at it. Their pillows were also super uncomfortable and lumpy and their quilt was meant to be this new technology but feels like a plastic bag and makes you sweat. Good honest review from you as always
I went through the exact same thing.......only we were told WE had to take our own measurements (which we did).....and then email them to the company. They denied us and now we live with the piece of garbage.
I have been sleeping on my Purple 3 Hybrid mattress for 2.75 years now (LOVE MY PURPLE) and before that, a TempurPedic mattress for 10 years! I HATE memory foam because, yes, they do retain body heat, and after they start to wear out, the memory foam retains your body impression like a mold. You then find it almost impossible to roll out of bed because you get "stuck" in the memory impression.
I gave up on memory foam mattresses and went to a mix of foam and innerspring. Now I have bought the same for my kids. Sometimes the new option is not the best option.
I won't be getting a memory foam mattress - I bought a pillow, after being told how comfortable it was. It certainly was comfy, but the problem was the smell, which was the same as mildew. I had it checked thoroughly, but the pillow was clean, with no mildew on or in it. However, that smell caused a NASTY allergy attack. I have checked other memory foam products, and the mildew like smell is the same. I think it is the chemicals, and the process is called "outgassing."
If you are okay with a twin xl spend less money and buy a drift mattress. It is a better option and has edge support because it is designed for truckers. I have back issues and and a side sleeper and it is best mattress I have had.
Shout out to Warner Robins Demons football team! We live in Macon, GA just up the road from there! So great to see my area represented!!! Thanks so much!
There are newer forms of "memory foam" that are not hot, even in hot weather areas. Do your research. Also, as someone else mentioned, even if you have the old kind of "memory foam" mattress, placing a thick mattress cover under your sheet really helps. Buy one made of natural breathable materials. While I experimented with making my sleep more comfortable and cool, I used two mattress pads and a cotton blanket beneath my lower sheet.
I splurged and bought a Tempur-pedic mattress and was so excited because I have had sleep issues for years. But that first night was so awful I just couldn’t stand to sleep on it again. I felt like I was sleeping in a tub filled with 3 inches of warm water. It was so uncomfortable. I ended up giving the mattress away.
I’ve owned the nectar mattress for years now and I have to say I like it. Being a combination sleeper, at first, the mattress is great for when I sleep on my back but not great when I’m sleeping on my sides. After contacting Nectar, they sent me a mattress topper and I have no more complaint. At that time Nectar wasn’t really pushing advertising as hard as now but I made my decision based off consumer report website’s rating, which gave it decent rating for the price. I figured why not since they promised 365 days return.
So we just got one two days ago and I was like hmm bed in a bag. You are right about the edges you can’t sit on the edge you’ll fall or roll off. Lol. I don’t know how long this is gonna take for the corners to fully fluff. They look pinched. Well we are going to give it a shot and see. Would really like to see how you repack it back up.
I'm so gald I'm not the only one.. I spent 500$ on my nectar twin mattress and I expected it to be GODLY AMAZING after seeing the reviews on their website but when I slept on it, it was way too soft where you just fall in.. I wanted to return it so bad but I just felt returning would be a pain so luckily I gave it to my uncle's friend who really desperately needed a bed and got myself a memory foam mattress from Ashley furniture and honestly feels 1 million times better. Also their pillows gave me neck pain and soreness. Nectar mattress was definitely not for me.
I bought one and I’m lying on it now and it’s super comfy. Time will tell. I’m a side sleeper and had a small back surgery 4 years ago so I bought this mattress because it’s supposed to be good for side sleepers. We shall see. It feels really comfortable so far.
Glad this confirms I was right to go with a latex mattress. While they are expensive, they last soooo long and are much more responsive for turning over than memory foam.
When I bought my Nectar mattress they said in included free pickup of the old mattress which is why I bought online. If I would have bought from a mattress store they would have taken the old one away. It turns out they lied. I called the site they said would take it away free and it turns out they will take the box or frame but not the actual mattress. Bad!
I have a nectar, its ok. Really wanted to try a purple but no one near me has a floor model. The nectar really softens with warmth, which i dislike. It is a good value if you get 3 or more years out of it, imo. Def need to try before you buy. Curious how the returm will go.
Looks like a nice mattress, but I don't like memory foam because I turn over several times a night. I also sit on the edge while getting up and preparing to go to sleep so a sinking edge wouldn't work for me. Thank you for the review.
I realize Nectar fans probably won't like my conclusion, and there is no disrespect intended toward Nectar or those who like it! I tried to keep in mind that many people do love this mattress, but it just isn't for me. Rather than accept a free product as some reviewers do, I paid full price with the intent of giving my honest opinion, and hoped I would like it enough to keep. Alas, I will be carefully documenting the return because I've read comments that the return process could be problematic. I'll give you a full unbiased report on how that goes. Also, to clarify, I sleep on my side about 75% of the time, and my back about 25% of the time.

Such a kind man, genuinely concerned about returning that.Thank you for another awesome review!
I remember when you purchased and tested your Purple mattress and you said that it was a game changer for you. That really stuck with me. I've seen other reviews for the Purple mattress and most of them say the exact same thing. I'm glad you reviewed a memory mattress and was able to compare it to the Purple mattress because that gives a real comparison that is usuable.
Appreciate this, especially the observations regarding the ability to turn and move as I move a lot. The last mattress I bought was a super cheap, no frills, standard build extra firm mattress I needed to get by with for just a few months at a training program away from home. I liked it so much that I hauled it home and swapped it with my regular mattress. I've had it for something just shy of 20 years but it's finally begun to sag. It's actually hard to find that kind of cool, extra firm, old style build type of mattress now.
Over the years we've used a Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress, a Simmons inner-spring mattress, a Sleep Number bed, tried a couple of different bed-in-a-box brands and finally settled on an Avocado mattress, which uses a combination of inner-spring and memory foam to hit that "Goldilocks zone" in comfort for us. It's spendy (almost as much as the Tempur-Pedic and about the same as the Sleep Number), but as side sleepers who tend to roll around a lot we still think this is the best mattress we've ever owned after 2 years of use.
I still have the original Tempurpedic mattress. It's around 17yo. Still good and since I have two Tempurpedic covers to alternate when washing It's still in its original form. They don't make the original anymore which is a shame. I think the mattress is still in good condition because it's only used for sleeping and not for watching TV, reading or relaxing. Once I'm out of bed I'm out of it for the day. Thanks for your honest review .
Can you show in the update how you repackaged that back up for return? I can imagine that would be worthy of a video on its own. Thanks once again for taking one for the team!
Depending on where you live. They work with a local company to come pick him up from your home. There is no reboxing needed.
You need giant pasta maker.
There is no "repackaging" they come and take as it lays there.
@@austins6210 Yeah I was going to say, without an industrial machine, not sure anyone could box that back up. My memory foam mattress came in a reasonable sized box and there is not a snow balls chance it could ever fit in their again by myself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have had a Nectar Mattress for over a year, I like it but I sleep on my back. I don't think it's great or stands out but it definitely feels fine. Thanks for your honest review
I've had my Nectar for about two years. Queen size. It came with two pillows only, would have loved the extra sheet and pillow case set. We also added the motorized frame with head and foot massage. I have never loved a bed more - in fact when sleeping other places and on higher end mattresses - I truly miss my Nectar sleep. I no longer have back or neck pain from sleeping. The motorized frame is wonderful for sleeping slightly elevated, sitting up to watch tv, or elevating my legs. Great and honest review, as always! It's true - it's not for everyone, but compared to the memory foam hybrid we used to have - this one is soft and contouring at the same time. I also start sleep on my side most of the time and end up on my back. The edge sleep "drop off" I don't find to be a noticeable issue for me. I've slept on crappy mattresses for years, and this investment for us was well worth it. With two people, the mattress holds up great. My other one felt like a balloon and often changed shape when getting in and out together - this one doesn't do that at all! And for me I love the pillows, they give my neck the support and contour I need. Hubby prefers a flatter pillow so I have claimed them both! I can say if we ever decide to go up to King, we will go with Nectar again for sure. My only one tidbit of a complaint is the L bar that holds the mattress from sliding down when elevated isn't adjustable, which I would prefer to not have a huge gap between headboard and mattress, as my pillows fall in on occasion - but that problem has been for every mattress I've ever had, so nothing new with that. I believe it is related to our sleigh bed frame that the motorized frame fits inside of. Just need to push mattress up every couple of months for us any way. ;)
Ty for a honest review
Yup. Same here! Returned it. And the process wasn’t smooth either. If your card changes in that time or expires, they make it really hard for you to get your money back.
How fitting that before I watched this video, I got an ad for the Purple mattress - almost as if it was an ominous sign about the conclusion of this review and a subtle reminder about which mattress James really thinks is better 😅
Same here
Me, too!
🤣🤣🤣
I have a Purple mattress! Very unique. I too did the "egg test" and it passed with flying chickens! P.S. Purchased my Purple Hybrid almost 3 years ago and love it with my Purple Harmony pillow and I only use the Purple bed sheets (plus my Purple bed frame and I'm sitting on my Purple seat cushion).
@@Steve_in_NJ That's a lot of purple! 🤣 But it's great you're enjoying yours so much. I'd like to get one someday.
Half of the products aren’t available here but it’s always good to see what’s out there.
Keep up the good work fella and stay safe.
I have to say, "Most highly advertised" it must depend on what region of the country you live in. I have never heard of the Nectar mattress, around here you see the Casper Mattress advertised.
Like that makes a difference, they are both memory foam.
Great review though. 🙂🙂
If you want to do another mattress review I would suggest the Allswell. I too am someone who turns in my sleep and am mostly a side sleeper. I tried and returned several mattresses including the original purple mattress but I personally just don't do well on foam, I would have loved to try the new purple mattress but I just couldn't afford the price tag. I eventually chose to try the Allswell, this was before walmart bought the company and I have been enjoying it for about 2 years now.
I have the less expensive Nectar mattress which is firmer and does not experience the "sinking" you are with the one you have. I also have it on a platform type setting, the mattress sits on 3/4 inch plywood and nothing else. Mine works great....
Thank you for an honest review that explains both pro’s and con’s. So tired of every mattress tested being glorified.
Came here to say the nectar is my favorite mattress ever but I totally respect your conclusion like everyone likes different things in their mattresses
I don't think there will ever be 1 that everyone loves
Thankyou. I really appreciate this info. Your facial expressions while describing it says it all.
Thank you for this review. Thankful for actually trying in. Nice to get an honest review. 🎉
I'm strictly a side sleeper on a twin bed, so the "cavern" pretty much is the same on either side. I have a different memory foam mattress now, but I'm switching for a cooling nectar mattress. I tested it in store, and I loved it! I'm sorry it didn't work for you, though!
Awesome review. Love this channel! Thank you for your dedication.
Love my nectar. The ONLY mattress I can get a full nights sleep on without my back killing me. I move a lot in my sleep. Side and back sleeper. And I sleep hot. So that’s saying a lot lol. I’ve tried 2 different memory foam mattresses in my rv and they both kill my back. So there is a difference for sure.
A thousand times yes! I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and I want to like it but I done. The edges are terrible and I almost fall out of bed because the side sink so much! Aggravating! It is hard to turn over in as well and I can’t relax and enjoy tv because I sink in and can’t move. Please update on the return process when you can. I have slept on a purple and loved it. I should have just gotten one instead. 😩
Being a belly sleeper, I love Nectar. I wanted memory foam but most seem for back/side sleepers and my old Ikea mattress was giving me issues (wicked back pain). Within a few weeks of this mattress, it mostly went away. That firmness was key as without support, my lumbar wasn't supported and stretched.
YMMV as it comes down to what is right for you, but for a belly sleeper... I love it (and I feel that part was not tested but again, we're all different). The pillows are also pretty nice imo.
I just ordered this mattress & im a bit skeptical after reading loads of bad reviews but then some good reviews and promising UA-cam video reviews. I am a belly sleeper myself and I don’t move around much in my sleep I don’t really tend to sleep on the edge either but in the middle. I think I’ll like this mattress & I can always add a foam pad on top to add extra support if needed. I really hope I like this mattress currently using a twin box spring with a foam pad on top. Upgrading to the Queen nectar. We shall see.
@@danoelker1144 what's your update Dan?
@@Meme-hi5gm it’s been 8 months sleeping in my nectar. I gotta say it’s totally worth every penny! I got the adjustable bed frame as well. Total I spent like $1,500 but totally worth it! Im never waking up in pain even when I had suffered from a back injury it got me through.
@@danoelker1144 Thank you!!
We started out with a Tempurpedic way back when they were "the latest and greatest"... had to have them replace twice due to sinking in middle, (we spoon). About 3 years ago we went with a 100% organic natural latex, best thing we ever did. All latex, no springs 3 layers: soft, medium, firm - queen split. I have mine set up different than Hubby and we still spoon and it's great! We are very happy with this mattress, made by a company in AZ been around for 30 years. Their pillows are excellent and the price was cheaper than Purple but more expensive than this one you reviewed. We already had a platform bed frame so we didn't need to get one. We hated the fact that memory foam does exactly what you said and in winter, turning over on your pillow was startling as it gets harder in colder conditions. Funny story, my hubby took his Tempurpedic pillow to a boy scout camp in winter in Colorado- temps were in the teens. As they packed up he tossed his pillow to my brother in law and it knocked the breath out of him, it was so hard and heavy. He couldn't believe Sam slept on it! His face was horrified at the thought. Memory foam actually caused more issues than it cures. Keep it in space at zero gravity, that where it belongs. Smiles and blessings...
What’s your mattress company called?
@@Adrsdzws Sleepez in AZ.
Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
My wife and I bought one and we struggled with it for a bit. We called them to return it and they sent us a foam pad to try. That actually helped us enjoy it a lot.
In that case, couldn't you have just bought a cheaper mattress and throw a foam pad on it?
Thank you very much for this review. I knew at the 3:20 mark this wasn't the mattress for me. That lack of side support
Here in florida most soft mattresses sleep hot, plus bad backs need firm foam. Just get semi firm or firm foam. Not memory foam.
I really appreciate this review. The vast majority of Nectar reviews are paid/sponsored bull crap.
I sell mattresses for a living and we have a few nectars at my store. They are fine but you can find something better for the same price.
As a consumer it's absolutely frustrating that so many of these are paid/sponsored garbage. The comment section on those videos are even filled with bots spreading sponsored information. It's horrible.
What about the purple mattress? That one is also memory foam a bit more pricey though.
A review for the Nectar mattress with ad breaks for the Purple mattress. Classic!!!
My wife and I purchased the Nectar king and a bed frame. Used it for two nights so far. Wife likes it but I turn in my sleep and the memory foam is a problem for me when I turn. Perhaps a foam topper would help me with that. I am going to contact Nectar to ask them that has helped others
I can't sleep on uneven, too soft or sunken mattress cos I can get body pain, I can only sleep on flat/semi hard surface. I've had injury on my neck muscles and had a long therapy and the last thing people with back pain injury or neck injury need is soft bed. I only slept on tatami bed since then. Love your sharing cos now I know they are not suitable for me.
We recently bought a new mattress. All of the furniture stores had the Nectar mattress and were really pushing it. Both my husband and I laid on it in the store and neither one of us liked it. Both of us have back issues and it did not see like it would be good for back issues. We ended up getting a Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid (springs and memory foam) and it was a good choice for us.
I decided to try a memory foam topper, The one I got isn't anything extraordinary but it has 2 sides, a softer and a firmer side. I figured I would use the softer side, I had to flip it over to the firmer side, my back was killing me after a few weeks, I really needed the firmer support.
So I got a nectar ad for a mid roll on this video and a purple mattress ad for the end roll. first time I have had an ad for the product being reviewed while watching the review
*I hate this mattress!*
I bought mine 6 months ago worst purchase I’ve made. I’m 250 pounds and sink way to far. No support at all and you want to flip during night it takes so much energy to climb out the hole and roll. Plus, I’m constantly finding the unsupported edge and feeling like I’m going to fall off. Also, it traps heat like a heat sink. I feel like I’m sleeping on a furnace. I can’t return it because it comes in a box shrink wrapped and folded in half. There’s no way anyone can get the bed back in the box..
I’ve owned memory foam my hole life. Loved it. Now I’m miserable and eventually going to waste another $1000. I’m glad to see he gave such an honest review to keep others from wasting their hard earned money.
Remember, in case you don't know, you NEVER have to "box it back up".....they know nobody has an industrial rolling machine at home. They'll send a truck and take it.....or ask you to donate to a charity and provide a "note" from the charitable organization, then they'll refund your money.
I hope you try Helix soon. Love mine.
Valid points for your video! I have had my nectar mattress for over two years and absolutely love it! I think you missed one of the biggest pros of a memory foam mattress though... the adjustable bed frame! It's a total game changer. Great for watching TV or reading in bed and sleeping elevated some when your not feeling well.
@@loveforeignaccents Yeah, the adjustable frame isn't super attractive, but it isn't ugly by any means. To each their own, but for me it's usefulness outweighs it's looks.
@adamc1906 Hey do you still have n use that Nectar mattress? I was also very surprised that he didn't talk about the adjustable functionality of the bed at all. I was curious to see how hard it was to set up, how loud it was when changing positions... stuff like that.
Hope you are still enjoying your Nectar!
I got a generic memory foam topper for my camper. My complaint is that it always felt "damp" and made me uncomfortable, even when running the air conditioner. Not sure if this is true of all of them, but it is something I would consider-air flow.
Perfect way to describe it!!! I'm a very sweaty sleeper
Thank you for an honest review!
We love our Nectar! It was an adjustment. I'm overweight, arthritic knees, a side sleeper and shift a few times a night. My husband has back issues and is a side/edge sleeper. We feel more rested and less pain. It also sleeps cooler. He needs soft and I, firm - this works for both. But it is entirely personal preference.
same (I'm overweight, sore right knee, a side sleeper and shift a few times a night.) I hate it!
Thank you ! I have degenerate disc disease and me and my girlfriend just got this delivered today. Excited to see how it works for my excruciating full back pain.
I have mixed feelings about Nectar. I have a hybrid and some days- I feel like i am sinking other times not so much. 😒 One day my lower back started spasming then a week later it was my neck. This is my third mattress! I wish I could afford a Stearns and Foster. They are so expensive now 😢
We just purchased a Nectar Hybrid. Do far I love it. Very comfy
Is your Purple mattress your everyday sleeper and what was the reasoning behind wanting to try this? Is the Purple giving you issues or just looking to see if there's anything better?
It's a review channel?
I’m a sideway sleeper and I absolutely 100% love it. Sleep in the traditional spring mattress pillow top all my life and I will say I like this nectar mattress a lot better. Mattress type is a preference. My wife like firm mattress and I don’t and we both seem to like this one. Bottom line is everyone sleeps differently and like different mattress so just try it for yourself and find what you like
I couldn’t stand my Nectar Mattress. I also bought mine with a package on sale and had to return it. I love memory foam mattresses and now own a Tempur-Pedic, which is great.
The biggest problem I had was that when I laid on it, the soft upper part would completely compress, leaving me laying down on the hardest chunk of foam rubber ever! I’m not especially overweight but I do have a few extra pounds and it was just impossible to get comfortable with so many pressure points.
It cost more to get the Tempur-Pedic but it has been totally worth it.
@Panen Dollar Quit spamming people pervert.
My daughter have Tempur-Pedic, very nice I lay her bed, I love it! Her bed size twin cost her 1,000.00 that her grandfather pay for it and gift to her. I wanna double bed Tempur-Pedic that help my back, it's very soft-firm! But it cost more than twin bed cost.. 😖
@@juliebaker6969 It's a bot. The best way to get rid of them is to report the comment so it will get removed.
I like the nectar martress. I am a back sleeper. So I have a bad back due to a motercycle accident. There is not very much pain when I wake up. So I think it helps. If your a side sleeper it doesn't work too well, prices are high. Hope you get a better bed.
I have a nectar premier and love it. Memory foam mattresses can be polarizing. If you’re the type of person who likes memory foam I would HIGHLY suggest it. If you don’t like memory foam I’d get something else. It’s definitely a different experience to a pillow top.
Thank you for being honest
Memory foam sleeps too hot for me and while I like the initial feeling, they're so uncomfortable to me once you hit that base layer of foam that's always so firm. I sleep on a high resilience foam mattress and I love it. It's the most uncommon type of foam mattress out there, but it sleeps cooler and the support feels more akin to that of a innerspring mattress.
can u name it?
Its the the most common type of foam but uncommon type for a foam mattress,foam used in orthopaedic beds high end sofa,car seat ect. Biggest question is, yours layered or 1 solid piece.
Great review, James. I recently bought a brand new mattress, and it was between a Tempur-Pedic, Purple, and Nectar. I fell in love with the Purple 3, and my wife really loved the Tempur-Pedic. There were three different Nectar mattresses in store to try. The most expensive one was about $2,000 for a King-sized, and it was fine. The Tempur-Pedic we looked at was $3800, and honestly the top of the line Nectar we had tried felt slightly less comfortable. For $1800 though, I figure it's a fine trade-off. This is anecdotal as could be, but the salesman in the store and I were chatting it up about different things, and she mentioned that the Nectar rep that comes by even admits to not buy the lowest end model. True or not, I can attest to the lower comfort quality. I tried resting on it, and it's simply nowhere near the quality of the other mattresses I tried. This is probably a personal bias, but I found the mattress at my house that I am replacing, which is a Sealy from Big Lots, felt more comfortable. Base Nectar mattress simply feels too cheap.
Your corvette is as old as I am
My husband and I are 65+. Pain in joints became an issue for both of us; including back issues. For us, with chronic pain, Memory Foam was the worst mattress to sleep on. Memory Foam pushes back against you; we both feel Memory Foam increased our chronic pain. We would never sleep on it again. Unfortunately, we found out the hard way; and, it cost us a fortune.
Just got one and I definitely have to get used to this mattress, feels like i sink into the bottom layer and just hit a wall, overall the first night was good, didnt wake up with any aches or pains and also my previous mattress used to make my right leg fall asleep (prickly needle feel), didnt have that with the nectar mattress.
I love memory foam because I hate springs jabbing into my body! I have been so bombarded by ads of this thing that it made me never want to buy it! I have a Casper mattress which I have been using for a couple years now. I like it a lot.
Well, glad we paid the extra for a Sleep Number. I was tempted to try one of these. My worries were exactly as you stated. If I move with the "memory", how uncomfortable will it be until it remembers the new position.
I have a memory foam, different brand, and even cheaper. I like it a lot. All you say about it is true as far as sinking, edge, etc. I love it anyway. Memory foam is the only mattress I've ever had that I feel comfortable on - no back pain even though I have a very bad back. Mattresses are very individual and I'm sure memory foam is not the best for everyone. I might like a Purple mattress but, unfortunately, I cannot afford one of those. A very firm mattress does hurt my back, my hips, my shoulders, etc. I need the soft/firm feel.
I would love to know what kind of mattress you use?
I have a purple mattress, and it is firm because of the spring base. Granted it it a purple 2 with only 2 inches of grid, but it is a lot firmer than the Tempurpedic and Tuft & Needle mattress I owned before it. If you like a soft mattress I would stick to memory foam.
I would also like to know what brand and model you use.
Great review. Loved the edge support part. That's very important
Try a "Pure Green" Sleep on Latex mattress. We got one almost a year ago and we're extremely satisfied. Latex is vastly superior in my opinion. It doesn't suck you in like foam and is much cooler. I can't stand memory foam it feels like I'm sleeping in sand. I'm a big guy so foam is like being trapped.
6:30 (ish) I have that exact problem with my regular memory foam mattress topper. Anytime I want to roll over I have to literally 'get up' and rotate my entire body so I stay in the exact same location. Not really a fan.
I have a memory foam mattress that's more firm at the start. it doesn't dent nearly as much as yours. Thus when I roll over it's not that big a deal with climbing the cliffs of doom. You'd think a more firm mattress would be uncomfortable, but after I got used to it after a few days (not weeks) then it was really nice. I sleep more soundly than I ever did on a pillow top spring mattress.
I'm really considering the nectar. But maybe Siena
I tried this mattress out early last year but did not enjoy the feel. Decided to go with the Nest Alexander Signature Hybrid I think they renamed it to the Sparrow Signature Hybrid. Either way, I have had it for over a year and love it. Best part is, you can unzip the top part of mattress in order to change out comfort foam and extend the life of bed.
Thank you your review is very helpful regarding the slow respond rate when changing position. I was deciding this and the Casper and this review really help me understand the slow response of the memory foam, which I never have the experience of lying on.
Yeah, I had a memory foam mattress for a while. I got tired of working so hard just to roll over. Moved onto latex, then hybrid coils/latex.
What about the smell? I got some Sealy memory foam pillows and after letting them air out for a couple weeks I still can't stand the smell!
Must be common … I got a Bloom memory foam mattress and it smelled like pure weed for MONTHS! I was actually starting to think it had been used to smuggle drugs. 😂 I was tempted to cut it open.
I ended up taking all the sheets and blankets off everyday after I got up so it would air out. But I really love the mattress so it was worth it. I still get the occasional whiff of pot though if I plop down too hard. 🤷🏻♀️
I bought the higher end copper nectar bed and I love it so far but havnt had it a year yet so we will see how long it lasts
Thank you for taking the time to do the great review.
I got a Nectar commercial on your Purple review and a Purple ad on your Nectar review. Lmao
Memory foam works best for me when it is the "pillow top" portion of a regular, firm mattress. I've never liked the idea of a whole mattress being made out of the stuff.
I got the premium Nectar mattress and I love it, I don't remember if its a mixed mattress tho 🤔
Exactly.
I don't think they make a full memory foam mattress. It's always some combination of layers with the bottom most(and biggest) layer being some type of harder foam.
Most likely because it's cheaper and also probably because if the entire mattress was made of the soft memory foam, you'd sink to the bottom. I'd imagine that wouldn't be very conformable or enjoyable.
I have a 4" memory foam topper and then a pillow topper on top of that.
I absolutely agree. I like a soft top, with firm support. People hate on old fashion spring mattresses, but they are great if you get a good one with a pillow top foam layer on top.
We purchased the Purple 2 because of your review. We are very pleased with our purchase, but it is an investment. We tested other mattresses at Dever Mattress, as they carry the Purple. We didn't care for the memory foam mattresses for the same reasons you described, it felt lumpy, for a few minutes, when ever we rolled over. Thank for all the great reviews, we have purchased many items that you gave good reviews on. Would say our favorite things are the Purple mattress and the Pizzazz.
We have had our purple 2 for two years and I pass out instantly every night. Such a great investment!
I purchased this in a king 4 years ago and originally loved it. But like you said over time it's soft but too firm. I've grown to hate it and i have a bad back and this has definitely made it worse. I haven't slept great in 2 years on it. I'm so trying to figure out which one to buy next. I like really soft with a touch of firmness.
I tried the Ghost Bed a few months ago and the all memory foam mattress was painful to use for me. I had to keep it for 30 days in order to exchange it. I exchanged it for the one with coils and that one is very comfortable. Not being able to move around on memory foam mattress is also not very comfortable for me.
I've got a simba (same thing different brand) I can honestly say it's the worst mattress I've ever owned. Long draw out process to return and they lie and put obstacles into the way such as sending an engineer with a tape measure and level to look at it. Their pillows were also super uncomfortable and lumpy and their quilt was meant to be this new technology but feels like a plastic bag and makes you sweat. Good honest review from you as always
I went through the exact same thing.......only we were told WE had to take our own measurements (which we did).....and then email them to the company. They denied us and now we live with the piece of garbage.
@@nocheteipsum yep us too.
Wife bought a nectar a year ago hated it since day one.
I have been sleeping on my Purple 3 Hybrid mattress for 2.75 years now (LOVE MY PURPLE) and before that, a TempurPedic mattress for 10 years! I HATE memory foam because, yes, they do retain body heat, and after they start to wear out, the memory foam retains your body impression like a mold. You then find it almost impossible to roll out of bed because you get "stuck" in the memory impression.
I gave up on memory foam mattresses and went to a mix of foam and innerspring. Now I have bought the same for my kids. Sometimes the new option is not the best option.
I won't be getting a memory foam mattress - I bought a pillow, after being told how comfortable it was. It certainly was comfy, but the problem was the smell, which was the same as mildew. I had it checked thoroughly, but the pillow was clean, with no mildew on or in it. However, that smell caused a NASTY allergy attack. I have checked other memory foam products, and the mildew like smell is the same. I think it is the chemicals, and the process is called "outgassing."
I like the adjustable frame they have but I like my purple mattress so much
If you are okay with a twin xl spend less money and buy a drift mattress. It is a better option and has edge support because it is designed for truckers. I have back issues and and a side sleeper and it is best mattress I have had.
Shout out to Warner Robins Demons football team! We live in Macon, GA just up the road from there! So great to see my area represented!!! Thanks so much!
Was it hot? I can’t do memory foam because I sleep hot. Thanks for a great review!
Try a pillow topper on top of it. Really helps with the feeling of burning up.
@@misterhat5823 Hey thanks! Is there a specific kind?
@@oldandstillhere I just got an "Amazon Basics" one. Seems fine to me.
There are newer forms of "memory foam" that are not hot, even in hot weather areas. Do your research. Also, as someone else mentioned, even if you have the old kind of "memory foam" mattress, placing a thick mattress cover under your sheet really helps. Buy one made of natural breathable materials. While I experimented with making my sleep more comfortable and cool, I used two mattress pads and a cotton blanket beneath my lower sheet.
I splurged and bought a Tempur-pedic mattress and was so excited because I have had sleep issues for years. But that first night was so awful I just couldn’t stand to sleep on it again. I felt like I was sleeping in a tub filled with 3 inches of warm water. It was so uncomfortable. I ended up giving the mattress away.
I’ve owned the nectar mattress for years now and I have to say I like it. Being a combination sleeper, at first, the mattress is great for when I sleep on my back but not great when I’m sleeping on my sides. After contacting Nectar, they sent me a mattress topper and I have no more complaint. At that time Nectar wasn’t really pushing advertising as hard as now but I made my decision based off consumer report website’s rating, which gave it decent rating for the price. I figured why not since they promised 365 days return.
Thank you for this man. Mattress shopping is hard and I have no frame of reference...just the old uneven mattress I currently have
Necter, Purple, or Casper, which one should I get for my guest room?
So we just got one two days ago and I was like hmm bed in a bag. You are right about the edges you can’t sit on the edge you’ll fall or roll off. Lol. I don’t know how long this is gonna take for the corners to fully fluff. They look pinched. Well we are going to give it a shot and see. Would really like to see how you repack it back up.
I'm so gald I'm not the only one.. I spent 500$ on my nectar twin mattress and I expected it to be GODLY AMAZING after seeing the reviews on their website but when I slept on it, it was way too soft where you just fall in.. I wanted to return it so bad but I just felt returning would be a pain so luckily I gave it to my uncle's friend who really desperately needed a bed and got myself a memory foam mattress from Ashley furniture and honestly feels 1 million times better. Also their pillows gave me neck pain and soreness. Nectar mattress was definitely not for me.
I bought one and I’m lying on it now and it’s super comfy. Time will tell. I’m a side sleeper and had a small back surgery 4 years ago so I bought this mattress because it’s supposed to be good for side sleepers. We shall see. It feels really comfortable so far.
Still holding up?
Glad this confirms I was right to go with a latex mattress. While they are expensive, they last soooo long and are much more responsive for turning over than memory foam.
When I bought my Nectar mattress they said in included free pickup of the old mattress which is why I bought online. If I would have bought from a mattress store they would have taken the old one away. It turns out they lied. I called the site they said would take it away free and it turns out they will take the box or frame but not the actual mattress. Bad!
Is the hybrid one better?? Or would it be the same? 😞
I have a nectar, its ok. Really wanted to try a purple but no one near me has a floor model. The nectar really softens with warmth, which i dislike. It is a good value if you get 3 or more years out of it, imo. Def need to try before you buy. Curious how the returm will go.
That shirt warner robins right next to Macon Ga.
Looks like a nice mattress, but I don't like memory foam because I turn over several times a night. I also sit on the edge while getting up and preparing to go to sleep so a sinking edge wouldn't work for me. Thank you for the review.
Please do a review on the Layla Kapoka pillow!
You should try out one of the hybrid mattresses out there, you get the support of the inner springs with some foam on top.
I think I've had this for about 8 months now. I really like it.
