Hey, guys. Marten here from Mattress Clarity. If you're looking for a comfortable
memory foam mattress that's also a great value. You come to the
right video. Today we're talking about the Nectar mattress.
We're gonna take a look at its construction. My experience with it, who it's
a good fit for and who it's not a good fit for. Let's get started.
First off, if you want to see list of our top picks for mattress,
head over to Mattress Clarity. There going to find some other reviews on
mattresses, bedding, pillows, and some great discounts on mattresses
like the Nectar. You'll also find some great coupons in the YouTube description
below. So as the name suggests, this mattress comes from Nectar,
producer of some very high quality and great value mattresses.
This is the Nectar Classic. Their flagship model has
some very comfy memory foam right on top and some great cooling features as
well. How does it all work? Let's find out right now. So let's
take a look at the construction of the Nectar mattress. First off,
it is twelve inches tall and starting off on top and working our way down.
First off, on top, you have a cooling cover, very thin and breathable as
well. First top layer here, you have a thick layer of gel infused memory
foam. Definitely has that kind of quick, sandy feel
right on top of the mattress. Also, again, infused with gel to help with
cooling. Below that, you'll have a foam transition layer,
very bouncy, very responsive as well. Add some more response to the
top of the mattress. Below that, you're going to have a base support foam,
very durable and firm as well. So what does all
that mean? Well, first off, speaking of cooling, it is an all-foam mattress that
might trap a little bit of heat. That being said, it does have a cooling
cover right on top here and a gel infusion in the top memory foam layer
as well. And speaking of durability, taking a look
at its construction, this high density foam here, high density of foams right
on top. A very nice cover should last for between seven and ten years.
So now let's talk about firmness and feel. In terms of firmness, I thought
this mattress as close to a six and a half out of ten, about medium
in terms of firmness. That's because on top you do have some softer
layers, easy to press into beneath that some firmer, more supportive layers.
I also want to note, though, that I am a larger person. I'm 250 pounds.
If you weigh less than this, might feel softer to you than it did to
me. But again, for me, a six and a half out of ten. Now,
speaking of feel, on top, it has that slow moving, kind of quicksand feel.
Again, pressing my hand in, it takes a little bit of time to
reform. So it kind of has that quick sand feel right on top. But to
test out the bounce. We have our ball here.
Look at that. The ball is pretty much completely dies on top of this
mattress. Not too surprising with slow moving memory foam right on top.
So overall, not too easy to move around on the Nectar.
So now let's talk about how I feel in different sleeping positions on this
mattress. Starting off my back. A very good match for me.
A nice balance of comfort and support. My hips sink in the right amount.
Good lumbar support, excellent contouring as well. Moving to
my side. Some pretty good pressure relief on my shoulders and my hips. However,
I am a larger person. I'm pressing pretty far into this mattress. I'm around 250
lbs. If you weigh less than me, you should feel better. Pressure relief on the
Nectar. However, moving to my stomach. Not quite supportive enough for me,
especially if someone of my weight. My hips are blowing in and I'm getting out
of alignment. Here at Mattress Clarity, we like to mix subjective opinion with
objective tests. And one of those tests is the pressure map.
So I lie down on my backside and stomach. You see anywhere from blue for
no pressure all the way up to red for high pressure. Now pay close attention
to my side, seeking results specifically on my shoulders and my hips.
Let's get started.
*music plays*
If you sleep with a partner, you also want to think about motion transfer.
Basically, lying down on one side of the mattress, your partner moves around
on the other side. Are you going to feel that motion or not?
Now test out the motion transfer on the Nectar. Place a glass of water here
and push the other areas around it. There's really not too
much disturbance in the water a little bit there. Apply more
from the frame, not the mattress. That's because we have some slow moving foam
right on top of the mattress. Handling this motion transfer quite well.
To further test out the motion transfer on this mattress,
I down on one side and Tanner moved around on the other side.
He changed positions. He got in and out of bed and I didn't
feel too many hip movements transferred to my side of the mattress.
Overall, a pretty good handling of motion transfer. If you sleep
with a partner or you like sleeping towards the edge of the mattress, you also
want to think about edge support. Basically, you're sitting down or lying
down at the edge of the mattress. Do you feel secure or more roll
off and onto the floor? So here I'm sitting down near the edge of the
Nectar mattress. It is collapsing a little bit under my weight, but not too
much. I can lean over and tie my shoes comfortably. Now, lying down on
this mattress, I can lie very close to the edge, not collapsing
too much under my weight. So overall, some decent edge support. Now let's talk
about the pros who I think the Nectar might be a good fit for.
First off, it's a great option. If you like that slow moving memory foam feel.
When you lie down on the neck, you're going to slowly sink in. Feel some
great contouring and great pressure relief as well. Off of that
is a great match, I think for side sleepers, specifically average weight
side sleepers and lightweight side sleepers, you're going to sink in and
feel almost no pressure on your shoulders and your hips. Lastly,
I think also a great match for back sleepers. A very good balance of comfort
and support on this mattress. Very comfy, but also has some good
pushback and some great support. So an excellent match for back sleeping.
So now let's talk about the cons of who I think this mattress might not
be the best fit for. First off, you prefer more of that balanced
foam feel with more response to it. Probably not the best match for you.
This has more of that kind of slow moving memory foam feel, so you might
want to look elsewhere. Also, I think if you're a much larger person,
over 250 pounds, probably not the best match for you.
Probably look for something with some more supportive materials such as coils in
the support layer and off that as well. Probably not the best match for stomach
sleeping. This is around a medium firm mattress, so you probably need
something on the firmer end. If you're taking a looking at the Nectar,
you might want to know how it compares to one of its major competitors,
the Purple Mattress. Let's do that right now. So first off,
there are some major construction differences, namely in the comfort layers with
the Nectar right on top. Slow moving memory foam, but on top of the
Purple, a unique hyperelastic gel polymer firm and pressure leaving
at the same time. This gives it a different feel to the Nectar
mattress. So with the Purple mattress kind of a squishy gel like
feel, it's also quite responsive with the Nectar. Again, more of
that slow moving memory foam feel. Speaking of firmness,
though, they are quite close. A six and a half for both mattresses.
So who should get one and who should get the other? In terms of who
should get the Nectar, I think a better option for lighter sleepers, side
sleepers and also fans of slow moving memory foam. I think the
Purple is a better option if you want something a little bit more durable,
a little bit more supportive and a better match for combination sleepers.
So the Nectar mattress is a bed in the box mattress. It's going to
come to your house in a cardboard box. How do you unbox it? Well,
first off, ask a friend for help. These boxes can be quite heavy.
You don't want to hurt or strain yourself. Then bring that box inside and
into your bedroom. Open up the top of the box and take out
your rolled up mattress then place it on your frame or foundation
and slowly, carefully cut the layers of plastic. You don't want
to damage your brand new mattress. Then give it about 24
to 48 hours to completely off-gas and expand and you're
good to go. So now I have to give you some additional information about the
nectar mattress. First off, it comes with free shipping and returns.
A 365 night sleep trial a forever warranty.
They offer other mattress models, accessories and financing as well.

So now I'm going to answer some frequently asked questions about the Nectar
mattress. The first question is is the nectar a good mattress?
In our opinion, it is definitely a good mattress but it's more
about what you're looking for. If you like that slow moving memory foam
feel, you're a side or back sleeper a great option for you.
However, if you're a larger person like something more supportive than something
for stomach sleeping I probably look elsewhere. The second question is can
you flip the nectar mattress? And the answer is no you cannot flip this
mattress. It's only designed to lie one way with support layers on
the bottom transition layer on top of that the comfort layer then
and on top the cover. The last question is how long
will the nectar mattress last? Now this does depend on your weight and how
often you use the mattress but taking a look at its construction, its materials
should last between seven and ten years. In the end, I connector
is a great option. If you like that slow moving memory foam feel mattress for
side sleepers or your back sleeper, well that's about it.
