As TechRadar's sleep editor I spend more time looking at mattress prices and deals than is healthy for any human being, and that means I'm particularly hard to impress when it comes to mattress sales. The mattress business is super-competitive and most sleep brands have sales running for most of the year, but what I see most of the time is that the actual prices you pay really don't vary very much from week to week.
However the latest Nectar mattress sale is one of those instances where I've actually sat up and looked more closely, and if you're after a Nectar mattress I strongly advise you to do the same. Nectar usually runs a 33% off deal, and the prices you get from that are great value for some of the best mattress options on the market. Right now, however, Nectar's running a Spring flash sale with 40% off everything; the last time it did this was for a couple of days back in March, and I remarked then that we hadn't seen prices that low in a very long time.
I also suggested then that we'd be unlikely to see such prices again until Black Friday, and I'm glad to admit that I was wrong. Bottom line: the Nectar Memory Foam mattress in a queen size is $629 this weekend, a Nectar Premier will cost you $899 and a cooling Nectar Premier Copper is just $1,169. Here's what you need to know:
Now, I know that the Memorial Day mattress sales are coming up fast and that traditionally they're one of the best opportunities for really low prices when you buy a new mattress. So you might be tempted to hold off buying until then; however I'm here to suggest that you buy now in order to avoid disappointment.
Nectar rarely drops its prices this low, and when it does it's generally only in the form of a flash sale like this. I'd be very surprised indeed to see Nectar's prices any lower than this on Memorial Day; in fact I'd be surprised to see them this low, at least for any length of time.
So if you want to grab a Nectar mattress at the best price, I'd urge you to buy this weekend. You'll get an excellent deal and you won't get caught up in the Memorial Day rush, which could well mean slower delivery. Get on it!
