About Nectar
Nectar belongs to Resident Home alongside DreamCloud, Awara and Siena; it is not related to Helix, which belongs to 3Z Brands. Nectar built its reputation on foam mattresses, promotional prices and an advertised 365-night home trial. Return eligibility and exclusions depend on the specific purchase.
Nectar sells all-foam and hybrid configurations at different prices. The Memory Foam and Premier Hybrid records on Sleep Sage illustrate the practical choice: a foam-only support system versus a coil-supported hybrid. Compare the actual version on sale and its current price instead of relying on older promotions.
Nectar isn't a luxury brand and doesn't pretend to be. It's the bed you buy when you want "good memory foam at a fair price" without overthinking it. Sleep Sage has not documented instrumented firmness, cooling or pressure-relief scores for this lineup; a numerical editorial rating should not be mistaken for measured performance.
What they make
All-foam and hybrid mattresses; pillows; sheets; mattress protectors; bed frames.
Origin
Designed in California; manufactured in the USA and Vietnam
Nectar Signature Technologies
Three-Layer Memory Foam Construction
Gel memory foam comfort layer, dynamic support foam, and high-density base foam — straightforward but effective build.
Cooling Cover
Cover materials vary by product version. Review current fabric descriptions and cooling claims; Sleep Sage has not documented a controlled temperature comparison for these covers.
Phase Change Material (Premier Copper)
Some Premier Copper configurations list copper or phase-change materials; verify which version is being sold. Those material descriptions are not measured cooling results.
Best for
- Budget shoppers wanting genuine memory foam (not low-density imitations)
- Side sleepers under 230 lb who want pressure relief at sub-$1,000
- Buyers who want maximum trial flexibility (365 nights, no return fees)
- Online shoppers comparing long home trials and return eligibility
Not ideal for
- Hot sleepers (entry-level Nectar; choose Premier Copper instead)
- Shoppers needing manufacturer-confirmed weight or support limits for the exact model
- Those wanting hybrid bounce — Nectar all-foam dominates the lineup

An all-foam construction for shoppers considering a slow-contouring feel.
Before buying: Compare its published firmness and the trial conditions against your current mattress.
Read model evaluationNectar Premier Hybrid
Foam comfort layers paired with a coil support system.

How Much Does a Nectar Mattress Cost?
Nectar queens run $700–$1,900 across the lineup (budget to mid-tier tier). The table below estimates the rest of the size ladder from that queen range using the standard size pricing brands apply — the low column tracks the entry model, the high column the flagship. Treat these as planning estimates rather than quotes: promotions and seller terms change, sometimes substantially. Confirm your exact size and configuration before ordering.
| Size | Dimensions | Entry model (est.) | Flagship (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38" × 75" | $435 | $1,175 |
| Twin XL | 38" × 80" | $460 | $1,255 |
| Full | 54" × 75" | $575 | $1,555 |
| Queen | 60" × 80" | $700 | $1,900 |
| King | 76" × 80" | $895 | $2,430 |
| California King | 72" × 84" | $895 | $2,430 |

Nectar FAQ
Is Nectar a good mattress for the price?
Yes — Nectar can be worth comparing for shoppers who prefer foam and want a long home trial. Check the named model's construction, current queen price, return eligibility and warranty. Sleep Sage has no published instrumented score that establishes a performance advantage.
What's the difference between Nectar and DreamCloud?
Both are owned by Resident Home but target different categories. Nectar is all-foam, budget-tier ($699–$1,499). DreamCloud is hybrid, mid-tier ($999–$1,999) with a more luxurious feel and pillow-top construction. If you want bounce and cooling, choose DreamCloud. For pressure-relieving foam at the lowest price, choose Nectar.
Does Nectar sleep hot?
Foam and cover materials can influence perceived warmth, but comfort depends on the person and room. Some Nectar versions advertise cooling features; we have not measured a controlled temperature difference. Compare current cover options and consider a coil-supported hybrid if airflow matters.
How long does the Nectar trial really last?
Nectar advertises a 365-night home trial on eligible mattresses. Minimum-use periods, return arrangements and exclusions depend on the seller's current policy. Review the terms before ordering; the advertised length does not guarantee a fee-free return.
