FAQs

Nectar Premier

Are Nectar mattresses all the same firmness?

Nectar produces mattresses with medium-firm comfort levels, ideal for various sleepers. The standard Nectar mattress is more firm compared to the Premier models, which lean towards medium firmness. Firmness is subjective but if you prefer a firm bed you might prefer the standard Nectar mattress. However, we think the Premier range if perfect, best yet, you get 365 night trial to test it out for your self.

Does the Nectar Forever Warranty work?

Yes, the Nectar Forever Warranty does work as per the company's claims. It promises that if your Nectar mattress breaks from normal use at any time during your ownership, they will replace it at no cost. This warranty is unusually long compared to many other mattress warranties, demonstrating the company's confidence in the durability of its products. This policy is one of the reasons why Nectar is well-regarded by both consumers and reviewers like VS Mattress. Just make sure to understand all the terms and conditions of the warranty to ensure you are covered.

Is there really a 365 night trial?

Yes, Nectar truly offers a 365-night trial period for its mattresses in the UK. This generous year-long trial allows you to test a Nectar mattress through all four seasons. If you decide that the Nectar mattress isn't the right fit for your sleeping needs for any reason, you can contact Nectar, and they will arrange to remove the mattress from your home and provide a 100% refund.
