Nectar has a rare bank holiday sale: here are the deals that will save you hundreds

Nectar Mattress sales are a rarity that we normally enjoy just twice a year. Except, this May, they've launched an extra Sale event where you can save hundreds of pounds on one of their iconic mattresses. There's not long left to snag a saving, so here's everything you need to know. 

Ahead of the Summer, we've been seeing all the best mattresses on the market drop into mini-sales periods. Emma, Simba, and Nectar all have sales on right now, so, as you can imagine, we're sleeping with one eye throughout this special May sale. 

Nectar stands out from the crowd for their reasonably-priced memory foam mattresses. Crafted with layers upon layers of springs, cooling gels, and pressure-relieving foams, their products are amongst some of the best cooling mattresses on the market. They are designed to minimize motion transfer (perfect for couples) at the optimal balance of firmness and coolness, delivering complete, unparalleled comfort.

Tucked alongside their mattress expertise, Nectar offers some blissful bedding, technical mattress toppers, and some of the best thin pillows we've ever slept on. So, if you're overdue a bedroom refresh, Nectar's bundles will sweep you off your feet. Plus, they all come with a 'forever guarantee', meaning they'll last a lifetime and you get a whole year to test them out, with no commitments.

Which Nectar mattress should I choose?

The Nectar range comprises of memory foam and hybrid mattresses, with the main difference between the two being that the former is only made from memory foam, while the latter includes a combination of foam and springs, for added support and comfort (Editor's note: The Nectar Lush has been discontinued.) 

Though they all feature foam construction, each mattress differs in price, function, and performance.

The Nectar Memory Foam mattress skews on the affordable end compared to similar options by rival brands. Right now is a hot time to scoop up a mattress; late winter/early spring is when brands are eager to make room for newer models before summertime.

For optimal comfort and support, the mattress incorporates five layers with a quilted memory foam mattress cover on top. Underneath lies the gel memory foam layer, which evenly distributes weight and helps you stay cool. This is followed by an intuitive hi-core memory foam for added support, so you won't "sink" into the mattress. Whereas its base layer balances each layer above, its bottom mattress cover minimizes slippage on the bed frame and won't wear over time.

The Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress is the middle option in terms of price. We've seen the steepest discounts before and during shopping holidays, upwards of £500. Still, bargains on this Nectar mattress are sporadic and sell out fast.

With cooling properties, the Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress draws heat away from the body. On top, you'll find a quilted cool cover made of a heat-wicking, breathable poly blend. Then, there's the 3-inch smart layer with ActiveCool HD, which adjusts to your temperature as you sleep. Gel-infused, of course. Lastly, there are two layers for support and stability, both of which adapt to the body's natural contours. 

Are Nectar Mattresses worth it?

Compared to its competitors, Nectar offers fantastic perks, like free shipping and returns, financing options, a 365-night risk-free trial, and a forever warranty, with no stipulations. Should you decide the mattress isn't a good fit, you'll get your money back, and the company will even pick it up at no added cost. 

In terms of value, Nectar mattresses are comfortable, supportive, and enduring—at historically cheaper prices compared to options from brands like Casper, Purple, Simba, and Emma (unless there are Emma mattress sales on). Plus, it's easy to clean the mattress.

How often do Nectar mattresses go on sale?

Nectar celebrates two big, blissful sale events each year: their summer sale, which normally falls around July-time, and their Black Friday sale. These are the best opportunities to nab deep discounts and they’re the most reliable, consistent times to plan for if you want to reinvigorate your bedding set-up. 

We were somewhat surprised by the bank holiday sale, but it is always welcome. Whilst the discounts aren't as huge as the other two sale events, they're still decent and nothing to sniff at. If you need a new mattress and you can save a few hundred pounds in the process of choosing one, you'll be the envy of all your friends. If you’re caught between sales and really can’t wait, there’s always some sort of deal on offer.

Not every deal is a good one though, which is why we have a team of experts who handpick the best deals on offer. Our same team has tested a range of products from these sleep specialists and can vouch for Nectar mattress' comfort and performance. 

The most sought-after savings are often on bedding bundles, which are the treats you didn’t realise you needed. Nothing spells sweet dreams quite like a new, plush duvet. However, we’ll almost always have some sort of mattress offer available too. They are, after all the bedrock (sorry) of a sublime sleep set-up.
