Purchasing and Returns
Unboxing and First Impressions
This mattress arrives at your doorstep similar to other mattress-in-a-box models, vacuum compressed and wrapped in plastic. It took about 1.5 days for the mattress to expand to its full form, so I would recommend giving it 48 hours before your first sleep, although the brand claims you can sleep on it right away. My first impressions? This mattress offers a medium feel, and offers adequate comfort. There wasn’t enough bounce to suit my liking, and I did not find the cooling cover to provide the same temperature regulation as mattresses that have cooling-gel infused foam, like The Endy Mattress.
Construction
1. Breathable Cover
The Nectar Memory Foam features quick-dry polyethylene fibres to wick away moisture.
2. 2” Gel-Infused Memory Foam
This gel-infused layer offers a breathable feel and contributes to the pressure-relieving properties of the mattress.
3. 3” Dynamic Response Layer
This layer caters to maintaining a neutral spine and a responsive feel.
4. 7” Base Layer
The thick base layer is intended to provide support and ensure durability.
5. Shift-Resistant Lower Cover
This cover ensures all layers stay in place and prevents the mattress from developing clumps or sagging.

Comfort
The Nectar Memory Foam provides a contouring feel for your body with its fully foam construction. Although it lacked bounce, I did not experience any discomfort moving around on this mattress. As a combination sleeper, I felt like it could improve on responsiveness, as the mattress surface took a while to recover from my movements, but it was certainly not a dealbreaker for me.

Firmness
We rated this mattress 6/10 on our firmness scale, a medium feel that suits most side, combination and back sleepers. For lightweight stomach sleepers, this firmness may still offer adequate support and comfort. Bigger-bodied sleepers may or may not like this firmness depending on their sleep preferences. I would recommend exploring alternatives such as The Endy Firm.

Motion Transfer
If there was one criterion of the Nectar Mattress they could improve, it would be their motion-isolating properties. As I tested the mattress with my partner, both of us experienced some struggle staying asleep during the tosses and turns. I felt noticeable movements on my side of the bed as my partner got in and out of bed. However, if you do not share your bed, this may not be a downside you may experience.

Cooling
Other than the breathable cover, the Nectar Mattress does not feature any cooling-specific technology. However, it did not necessarily overheat. If you’re a hot sleeper, I would recommend looking at Made-in-Canada mattresses such as The Casper or The Endy.
Edge Support
The Nectar Mattress offers strong edge support, and I was quite impressed with how the perimeter of the mattress withstood weights and did not sink significantly.
Sinkage and Responsiveness
I did not notice any deep sinking on the Nectar mattress, which reinforced my observation on the medium firmness. While the sinkage test gave satisfactory results, I was not too impressed with the bounce and responsiveness of the mattress. I felt like these were two areas this mattress could slightly improve to enhance the overall sleep experience.
How does it suit different sleeping positions?
Side Sleepers
The Nectar mattress should be satisfactory for side sleepers.
Back Sleepers
Light to medium-weight back sleepers should find this mattress satisfactory. Heavier back sleepers may want to consider Made in Canada alternatives such as The Endy Firm.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers would benefit from a firmer mattress, such as The Endy Firm, as this mattress may not provide adequate support to maintain a neutral spine for them.
Combination Sleepers
The Nectar mattress provides ample comfort and support for combination sleepers; however, if responsiveness and motion transfer are two of your sleep concerns, you may want to explore different alternatives such as The Endy
Lightweight Sleepers
Lightweight sleepers should find this mattress satisfactory.
Heavy People
Heavier individuals might benefit from a firmer mattress with more support. We recommend Made in Canada options like The Endy Firm.
Should You Buy The Nectar Mattress?
Nectar Mattress offers a budget option for those who don’t mind purchasing from a US-based company. With a medium feel, this mattress should satisfy side, combination and back sleepers, although bigger-bodied persons and stomach sleepers may look for more support on a firmer sleep surface. I noticed the mattress performed well in edge support and pressure relief, but lacked in motion isolation, cooling, and responsiveness.
When I compare this mattress with similar memory foam mattresses and Canadian brands I’ve tested, such as The Endy, I feel that they provide better bang for your buck, especially in the long term. If you prioritize price over value, the Nectar Mattress is offered at a competitive price.
