The Nectar Classic 12” Mattress is engineered to meet the needs of diverse sleepers. Its medium-firm profile offers enough cushioning for side sleepers who need shoulder and hip relief, while still providing the firm support that back and stomach sleepers require to maintain neutral spinal alignment.

Important Notes
After unpacking, allow your mattress 24 to 72 hours to fully expand and reach its intended height and firmness. For optimal hygiene and longevity, use a protective mattress cover and vacuum the surface monthly. Spot-clean any spills immediately using mild soap and water—avoid soaking the fabric. Do not place the mattress directly on concrete; always use a proper foundation, platform, or frame.

Comfortable, supportive, and great value.
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.

Very Comfortable
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.

definitely a new try as my last mattress didnt stand the test of big guy sleeping on it
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.

Loving this! But concerned about longevity
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.

No Regerts!
I’m very pleased with the quality and price of this mattress! I tested dozens of mattresses in store (none Nectar) and found that of all the styles an all foam one worked best for me. Then it was a matter of finding one for less than $1k that still was good quality.The box was a little heavy but I was able to get the mattress out and onto the frame alone. Immediately after cutting the plastic off the mattress grew to almost its full size in less than 30 minutes but looked really lumpy on the sides and the corners didn’t fill out. 48 hours later and the corners are pretty much filled out and the bed has reached its final firmness level and doesn’t look lumpy at all. There was the slightest scent on the mattress immediately after opening but only when putting my nose on the mattress and it went away in minutes.I got the medium firm and it’s on the firmer side. I’m 200lbs and I don’t feel like I’m sinking into it but it’s still extremely comfortable and shapes to my body.The top layer feels cool to the touch but after putting sheets and blankets on you can’t feel anything.Overall for less than $1k I’d say it’s a great deal. Comfortable and sturdy, pretty much all you need.
