Looking for a Nectar mattress sale or deal? Look no further. We keep track of Nectar's sales in both the US and UK, and whichever side of the Atlantic you're on, we can point you towards the lowest prices.

At Nectar US there's up to 40% off its mattress range in its extended Presidents' Day sale, and we have to tell you that this is pretty much its standard deal. In fact there's not been much movement in the price you'll pay for a Nectar mattress since early November, and and despite the Presidents' Day messaging (which usually means bigger savings), it's very much business as usual at Nectar; fortunately these are still great prices.

In the UK, Nectar has reduced its RRPs and its discounts, as well as the regularity with which its mattresses are discounted, which means you have to pick the right time to buy. Right now there's 20% off the Nectar Memory Foam mattress, as well as on the Nectar Hybrid mattress and the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress. That doesn't mean you can't get discounts on the Premier and Essential Hybrid, though; hit the Nectar sale page and you'll find them available as mattress + duvet bundles with up to 25% off.

Nectar is one of the leading sleep brands in both the US and UK, and you'll find its beds in our best mattress roundup and our best memory foam mattress guide. Deals run year-round, so you should never have to pay ticket price (you can ignore those countdown clocks). These mattresses are almost always excellent value for money – the quality is great for the price, and the extras are outstanding (you'll get a full year's sleep trial and forever warranty). Read on for more on the best Nectar mattress deals available now.

Best Nectar mattress sales in the US

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress:  $349 at Nectar

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: now from $349 at Nectar
The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress is an excellent all-rounder, and our favorite memory foam mattress right now. The medium-firm feel will suit a wide range of sleepers, and in our Nectar mattress review we found it also dished out good pressure relief and motion isolation. The current up-to-40% off sale gets you a queen size for $659, which is almost the cheapest we've seen it – for most of 2023, it was $699. And if you want springs in your mattress, there's a hybrid version that'll currently cost you $799 in a queen size. 

Nectar Premier mattress:  $599 at Nectar

Nectar Premier mattress: now from $599 at Nectar
Sitting in the middle of Nectar's US lineup is the Premier. This mid-range mattress is made with gel memory foam and phase-change material to keep you cool. With up to 40% off, a queen is now $949 rather than the usual sale price of $999. That's for the all-foam version – if you want to upgrade to the hybrid with springs, a queen size costs $1,099. Either way, you'll get free shipping, a forever warranty and a full year to make sure it's the right mattress for you. 

Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: $999 at Nectar

Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: now from $999 at Nectar
The Nectar Premier Copper is the best cooling mattress in the brand's US range, and has heat-conductive copper fibers woven in its cover to dissipate heat. At the moment, the Nectar sale knocks up to 40% off, netting you a queen size for $1,249. We rank this as one of the best cooling mattresses around. You can also buy it as a hybrid, which means there's a layer of coils – a queen size of the Nectar Premier Copper Hybrid costs $1,399 with a discount applied. 

Best Nectar mattress sales in the UK

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: £475£380 at Nectar

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was £475 now from £380 at Nectar
The most affordable model in the Nectar UK range, this brand's original memory foam model is a great all-rounder. It'll work for all sleeping positions and offers decent temperature regulation compared to most memory foam mattresses. A 20% discount gets you a double size for £480, which is the same price it always is, but still good value for what you're getting.

Nectar Premier mattress + duvet: £725£551 at Nectar

Nectar Premier mattress + duvet: was £725 now from £551 at Nectar
The Nectar Premier is a little softer than the Original, and offers better pressure relief (a great choice for side sleepers of people with sore joints). Nectar also promises improved breathability. The Premier isn't discounted right now and instead comes with a bedding bundle. But if you'd rather have 24% discount, you should choose the mattress + duvet bundle that's tucked away on Nectar's sale page. That'll get you the Nectar Premier in a double size for £714.40.

Nectar Hybrid mattress: £625£500 at Nectar

Nectar Hybrid mattress: was £625 now from £500 at Nectar
For a step up in comfort and support with a bit more bounce, the Nectar Hybrid is a great choice. There's still the soothing, pressure relieving memory foam, but an added layer of micro pocket springs delivers zoned support where it's needed. With 20% off, a double costs £600.

Nectar Essential Hybrid mattress + duvet:£525£393.75 at Nectar

Nectar Essential Hybrid mattress + duvet: was £525 now from £393.75 at Nectar
If you're on a budget but want the additional springy support of a hybrid, Nectar's Essential Hybrid is the answer to your prayers. It delivers the full hybrid experience at a bargain price (our Nectar Essential Mattress review can tell you more), but guess what? That's right, it's full price at the moment with a bedding bundle included. There's 25% off a mattress + duvet bundle, though, with a double costing £498.75; you know what to do.

Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress: £625£500 at Nectar

Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress: was £625 now from £500 at Nectar
The Premier Hybrid mattress is a top-of-the-range option with both deep and micro springs nestled between its foam layers, offering comfortable zoned support and temperature regulation; you can find all the details in our Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress review. There's 20% off the Hybrid in the Nectar sale, and a double will cost you £600.

Which Nectar mattress should you choose? 

US customers can choose from three different Nectar mattresses: the Nectar Original (prices from $699 to $1,399 without a discount code), the Nectar Premier Mattress (from $1,049 to $1,799), and the Nectar Premier Copper Mattress (from $1,499 to $2,249). Read our updated Nectar Mattress review US for more on the basic model. 

All of the mattresses come as all-foam models or as slightly more expensive hybrids with added springs. However, there are subtle differences between the products – hence the price variations. The Nectar Memory Foam is the thinnest. This one is also slightly firmer, making it ideal for back and stomach sleepers. 

The Nectar Premier and Premier Copper contain many of the same high-quality materials as the cheaper model, but the thickness of each layer differs slightly. That gives the Premier models a pressure-relieving softness that's better suited to side sleepers and combi sleepers (people who switch between positions). The Premier Copper also boasts a breathable poly-blend cover that features heat-conductive copper fibres to help you to stay at the optimum temperature for sleeping.

For those based in the UK, you now have five choices. First up is the Memory Foam model, with prices from £475 when there isn’t a sale running. We recommend this as the best option for all sleepers looking for comfort and support on a smaller budget. For more information on this one, read our UK Nectar mattress review.

As it comes on a 365-night trial, you’ll have plenty of time to try it out. Make sure you cover it with one of the best mattress protectors for keeping it safe from spills, stains and germs during the trial period and beyond. Unsure whether you need one of those or a thicker bed pad? Read our mattress protector vs mattress pad explainer for more guidance.

The second UK option is the Nectar Hybrid mattress, priced from £659 to £900 without a discount code to lower the price. The Hybrid is more breathable and has a slightly more responsive feel. The third Nectar is called the Nectar Premier, priced from £675 to £1,000, and this is the brand's latest model; a cooling mattress designed to help hot sleepers snooze more comfortably. 

Finally, Nectar expanded its hybrid range with two new UK models in 2022: at the budget end there's the Nectar Essential Hybrid, priced from £475 to £725, and if you'd prefer something more high-end there's now the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which can be yours for between £775 and £1,075. Naturally you'll usually be able to snag a substantial discount on both models.

If you live in the States and have more budget to spend and want a touch of hotel luxury sleep at home, we'd recommend the Saatva Classic, our current top pick. Take a look at our guide to the best Saatva mattress deals and sales for the latest discounts. Or if you sleep very hot, try the Tempur-Pedic Breeze, which is often $300 off in the Tempur-Pedic mattress sale. Or if you' have a tighter budget, check out our Nectar vs Cocoon by Sealy Chill comparison.

1. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress deals

The best Nectar mattress for sheer value for money

Sizes: 6 (Twin to California king) | Depth: 30.5cm/12 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Memory foam | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Lower mid-range

Fantastic motion isolation
Comfy in all sleeping positions
Handles for moving and rotating
Off-gassing is strong at first

The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress is hugely popular because it provides a comfy sleep experience for a low price. This 12-inch mattress boasts five layers including a soft, quilted poly-blend cover infused with sweat wicking technology. The smarts continue with a three-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam designed to react to your changing body temperature. This ensures you don't get too hot or too cold during sleep. 

Prices start from $359 in the Nectar mattress sale (was $599) and range up to $999 for a king (was $1,299), with a collection of sleep accessories included. We recommend the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress for all sleeping positions, but especially for back and stomach sleepers as it has a touch more firmness needed to support you comfortably in those two positions.

2. Nectar Premier Mattress deals

A smart and supportive option for side sleepers

Sizes: 7 (twin to split king) | Depth: 33cm/13 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Memory foam | Comfort: Medium | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Mid-range

Softer and comfy for side sleepers
Temperature-adjusting tech
Optimised for deep sleep
Cover isn’t machine washable

As with all Nectars, the Premier Mattress contains five layers that work together to support, comfort and cool you during sleep. These include a breathable poly-blend cover that will keep you from getting sweaty while you snooze. There’s also a three-inch layer of smart memory foam infused with ActiveCool HD technology. This is designed to keep you at the optimum temperature for sleep throughout the night.

We’d recommend the Premier model to combi and side sleepers who sleep warm, and to restless sleepers who have trouble getting comfy enough to drift off in the first place. The ActiveCool HD tech is really the main player here, although the cooling performance isn’t as powerful as with the Premier Copper below. This one is cheaper though.

When on sale, prices for the Nectar Premier Mattress range from $779 for a twin (was $999) up to $1,798 for a split king (was $2,098) for a split king size, with a selection of accessories thrown in. As mentioned, Nectar regularly runs regular deals on all its mattresses, and you don’t need to input a specific discount code to bag these savings either.

3. Nectar Premier Copper Mattress deals

The best Nectar mattress if you often wake because you’re too hot

Sizes: 7 (twin to split king) | Depth: 14 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam | Comfort: Medium | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Upper mid-range

Heat-conductive tech keeps you cool 
Superb full body comfort
Dedicated back support
Needs extra deep fitted sheets

Nectar reckons that you'll need to set your alarm extra-loud if you buy the Premier Copper Mattress, as you'll sleep so soundly. This mattress is so-called because it's topped by a quilted poly-blend cover that contains heat-conductive copper fibres and other impressive cooling technology. We rank this as one of the best cooling mattresses around, but there's more to it than that.

Beneath that layer there's four inches of pressure-relieving gel memory foam with ActiveCool HD technology; a one-off dynamic support layer that's designed to send you into a deep sleep; a nine-inch stay-stable base layer and a shift-resistant lower cover. With all of this stuffed into the mattress's generous 14-inch depth, you're guaranteed a heavenly night's slumber.     

Prices for the Nectar Premier Copper Mattress range from $1,399 for a twin ($1,099 in the Nectar mattress sale) to $2,698 for a split king ($2,398 on sale), with a generous helping of accessories included. As with all the brand's other products, this mattress regularly features in the company's sales, meaning you can sample serious luxury at a much lower price. This is the best savings we've seen for the Nectar Premier Copper thus far, although we don't know how long this Black Friday-level savings will last.

4. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress deals

A comfy mattress that won't break the bank

Sizes: 5 (single to super king) | Depth: 25cm/9.8 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Mid-range

Excellent value for money
Supportive in every sleeping position
Breathable for a foam mattress
Might be too firm for lighter bodies

It may share its name with the US model, but the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress sold in the UK is slightly different. For a start, it's 5.5cm/2.2 inches thinner than its stateside counterpart. Does that mean UK sleepers are getting an inferior product? Not at all. There are five layers to cradle and support your body during sleep, starting with a quilted cool cover that's designed to draw heat away from your body while you sleep. This is important for hot sleepers because if your body heat pools in your mattress, you will wake up because you’re too warm. 

The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress UK also sports a dynamic and breathable support layer. This provides supportive bounce while regulating your body temperature further. There’s also a pressure-relieving memory foam layer to compliment a seven-zone supportive base that ensures every part of your body is cradled from the moment you lie down. A layer of positioning base material keeps everything above it securely in place.              

The RRP of the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress ranges from £475 in a single to £725 for a super king size. Nectar's new evergreen discount takes 20% off, bringing the price of a double down to £480 from £650, which is a good price for a reliable, comfy mattress.

5. Nectar Premier Mattress deals

Nectar's most advanced memory foam mattress

Sizes: 4 (single, double, king, super king) | Depth: 28cm/11 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Upper mid-range

Heat-wicking technology
Minimal motion transfer
Good air flow
Not the best edge support

Nectar's Premier mattress is a more advanced memory foam option, suitable for anyone who wants more from their mattress and has extra budget to spend. It's 28cm deep with zoned support that makes it suitable for most body shapes, and to help keep you cool at night there's a quilted cooling cover that's designed to draw heat from your body and promote air circulation.

When it's discounted there's 20% off the price of the Nectar Premier. Prices start at £675 for a single, going up to £1,000 for a super king size, and when it's discounted a double till cost £700 (RRP £875).

6. Nectar Hybrid Mattress deals

A great all-round hybrid for most people

Sizes: 5 (single to super king) | Depth: 25cm/9.8 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam/springs | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Mid-range

Good support
Lifetime warranty
Cooling and breathable
Edge support could be better

If you're in the market for a good all-round hybrid mattress, the standard Nectar Hybrid is a good place to start looking. 25cm deep with a layer of 1,600 micro-springs in between its foam layers, it delivers more breathability than you get in a memory foam mattress as well as giving you enhanced comfort.

The Nectar Hybrid sits in the middle of the brand's hybrid mattress range, price-wise, and when it's in the Nectar sale it's available with 20% off the RRP. Prices go from $625 for a single, up to £900 for a super king; when it's included in the sale, a double will cost £600; this is a great price for a solid hybrid.

7. Nectar Essential Hybrid Mattress deals

A budget-friendly hybrid mattress from Nectar

Sizes: 5 (single to super king) | Depth: 25cm/9.8 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam/springs | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Mid-range

Great pressure relief
Good edge support
Forever warranty
Bit on the firm side

Looking for a budget-friendly hybrid mattress? Launched in 2022, the Nectar Essential Hybrid could be the answer to your prayers. It's the cheapest hybrid from Nectar but doesn't skimp on the details; it's medium-firm with six layers of foam and springs, with good motion isolation and edge support for the price, plus good airflow to help keep you cool at night. We reckon it's best suited to back sleepers; lightweight side sleepers may find it too firm, while heavier stomach sleepers will probably find too soft; learn more in our Nectar Essential Hybrid Mattress review.

When it's in the Nectar sale there's 20% off the Nectar Essential Hybrid. RRPs start at £475 for a single, through to £725 for a super king, and when it's discounted a double will cost £480 (was £600), which we think is a good price for a simple but effective hybrid mattress.

8. Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress deals

Nectar's high-end hybrid option

Sizes: 4 (single, double, king, super king) | Depth: 28cm/11 inches | Turn: No | Filling: Foam/springs | Comfort: Medium-firm | Trial: 365 nights | Guarantee: Forever Warranty | Price bracket: Upper mid-range

Good temperature regulation
Memory foam 'hug'
Year's trial and lifetime warranty
Not firm enough for stomach sleepers

Nectar's top-of-the-range hybrid, introduced in 2022, is a medium-firm mattress that should suit a wide range of sleepers; our main reservation is that we feel front sleepers may find it just a little too soft to be properly supportive. It's an eight-layer mattress with a combination of memory foam, springs and support foam, and it features impressive motion isolation and strong cooling properties; the only thing to watch out for is its slightly lacklustre edge support; you can find all the details to help decide whether it's right for you in our Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress review.

The Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress is available with 20% off when included in the Nectar sale. RRPs range from £775 for a single, up to £1,075 for a super king; a double is £925, and reduced to £740 in the sale.

Nectar mattress trial and warranty

In addition to regular discounts and deals, Nectar runs a 365-night risk-free mattress trial, so you’ll have a year to decide if Nectar really is the best choice for your body and sleep. If you change your mind during the trial period, Nectar will refund your money and collect the mattress for free (not all sleep brands offer free returns). 

In addition to regular sales to lower prices, Nectar offers a Forever Warranty. It isn’t the only brand to do this – DreamCloud, for example, offers the same – but this level of coverage is unbeatable. All of these perks still apply when you’re shopping the Nectar mattress sale, so you won’t miss out.

Here we tell you everything you need to know about Nectar mattresses, from the prices, weight capacity and sizes, to what they're made of and how to pick the best model for you. We’ll be updating this page regularly with the latest discount codes and will shout if these deals get better the closer we get to the official Nectar Black Friday sale.

Do you need a Nectar mattress discount code? 

US customers should check our guide to Nectar coupon codes for the latest options, however in general your savings will be applied automatically when you buy. 

There are no promo codes required in the UK, with all discounts automatically added when you select the Nectar mattress you want. Nectar does change the specifics of its deals regularly, so bookmark this page and check back if you aren’t ready to buy just yet but want to keep an eye on the best offers.

Nectar mattress unboxing tips and instructions

A Nectar mattress can take 24-72 hours to fully expand, which is longer than some other brands. The Emma Mattress is one of the fastest boxed mattresses to get up and running, while all Saatva mattresses arrive unboxed and ready to sleep on. Like all bed-in-a-box brands, Nectar compresses its mattresses and ships them vacuum sealed, so they need to be unboxed, uncovered and given adequate time to return to their normal shape and depth.

There are a few different factors that affect how long it will take your Nectar mattress to be ready to sleep on. These include the humidity levels in your home. We did find the Nectar a little pungent during the off-gassing stage, so we’d recommend opening a window and sleeping in a different room (if you have one) until your Nectar is ready for snoozing on. 

The Nectar mattress unboxing process is super-simple, so here’s how to do it:

  • Place the boxed mattress in your room of choice
  • Remove the vacuum sealed mattress from its outer box
  • Open the tough plastic covering carefully
  • Unfurl the mattress and allow it to expand on a flat surface
  • Wait 24 to 72 hours before sleeping on your mattress

What deals does Nectar do?

Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are regular Nectar mattress discounts running throughout the year, so we usually see decent savings from the sleep brand most months. In the US these are usually either money off and free gifts (most common with the Nectar Memory Foam), or free gifts (usually with the Nectar Premier and the Premier Copper). Whatever happens, we'll be rounding up the best Nectar mattress deals right here, so you won't miss a single saving.

Does Nectar do a Black Friday mattress deal? 

The Black Friday mattress deals traditionally bring with them the lowest prices of the year (and run into the Cyber Monday mattress deals). Nectar US does do deals on Black Friday. In the past couple of years, the brand has used this event to kickstart a new evergreen offer, and it usually launches right at the start of November. 

Nectar UK

Nectar UK doesn't really bother with a Black Friday discount, although in the past couple of years it has bundled in some free bedding, which is a decent perk. In 2024, we expect much the same to happen. Note too that RRPs tend to fluctuate, so focus on the price rather than the percentage off – it might look like a better deal, but actually be the same price. 

Nectar Black Friday sales: Past events

Nectar US

In 2023, Nectar kicked off a 40% off 'Flash sale' on 3 November, delivering what in many cases were the cheapest prices of the year, by some margin. That offer didn't expire, but instead ran right through until after Cyber Monday (at time of writing, in the second week of December, it's still live).

In 2022, Nectar used the Black Friday period to kick off a new offer. Prior to that, it's deal included a big bundle of free bedding. On 4 November, the offer shifted so that no bedding was included, but the mattress itself was cheaper (by $100 on the queen size). This turned out to be the evergreen deal that would run pretty much permanently in 2023. 

For Black Friday in 2021, Nectar simply ran its evergreen offer, which at the time was $200 off and up to $499 off accessories. There was a flash sale, offering lower prices, which started on 6 November and ran for just a few days.

King$839$870$1,099 (+ bedding bundle)

Nectar UK 

For Black Friday 2023, Nectar UK ran its evergreen offer, but threw in some free bedding to sweeten the deal a bit. It was pretty much the same situation in 2022 – officially there was 50% off, but shifting RRPs meant the actual price was just the same as what you'd usually pay.Nectar threw in a free set of sheets, worth £85, over Black Friday itself, to sweeten the deal a bit. 

For 2021, there was a blanket discount of 45% off any Nectar mattress (in 2020, customers were offered £125 off the price of a Nectar Memory Foam Mattress and given two free pillows worth £70). There was no discount code required, as the savings were applied automatically.
