NECTAR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Updated Wednesday Nov 11th: Along with our mattress delivery partners, BJS Home Delivery, we have put precautions in place alongside government guidelines. 

Deliveries are currently taking place as normal, to the doorstep, except we are not delivering to anyone that is self-isolating or if you have Covid-19 for safety reasons. Our customers and our teams safety is of utmost importance to us. 

Our other non-mattress delivery partners are currently unaffected though there have been a few delays, but please be aware that this could change at any time. 

We will continue to update you here if anything changes. If you have an active order that is affected, we will contact you directly to advise you of the status of your order. https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

We have a number of collection partners and we have been working with them to ensure return collections continue through the lockdown. They usually collect the mattress from outside your property or from just inside near the front door. 

Nectar makes the most comfortable mattress available, and sells the Nectar directly to you cutting out middlemen and markups. You enjoy the best mattress at a much better price. Nectar is designed for every type of sleeper and arrives backed by our Full Comfort Guarantee and Forever Warranty, plus a full year sleep trial so you can make sure Nectar is right for you. Nectar arrives straight to your door. For a small fee, we'll even remove and recycle your old mattress. Thousands of Nectar customers and over 20 mattress review sites think Nectar is the most comfortable mattress you can purchase. And if you don’t agree, we’ll take Nectar back and refund your full purchase.

Nectar provides you with a full year, 365 nights to enjoy Nectar and figure out if Nectar is right for you. If you decide for any reason that Nectar is not your ideal mattress, we’ll remove the mattress from your home (terms apply) and refund your payment 100%. Our trial is 3 times longer than any other we have seen. Fewer than 3% of Nectar sleepers return their Nectar.

Nectar will be the most comfortable mattress you ever owned if setup properly. Most foundations, bases, including slatted or divans work as well as an adjustable frame. We do not recommend placing your mattress on the floor, plastic base, or home-made foundation.

Currently, Nectar ships to you via our free delivery service. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 safety advice No Contact Delivery is in place and we are not offering a 2 person delivery service at this time. 

You can also keep track of your order and it's status by clicking the View My Order button on your Order Confirmation or by downloading the Shopify Shop app (available for iOS and Android) and following Nectar Sleep store.

This will allow you to view your order and be sent push notifications to let you know when it's on the way. You can can also track items in app and it can be used for multiple retailers.

Forever is a long, long time… and that’s how long we guarantee the construction, materials, quality and durability of Nectar for the original purchaser. If you own a Nectar and sleep on a Nectar we believe Nectar should be the only mattress you ever need. We back up Nectar’s quality in absolute terms, with no wishy washy legal speak, Nectar will last longer than you do if you treat Nectar right.

It’s rare, but when it happens we work with you to arrange pickup and refund your money once we’ve received your mattress. Just give us a call, start a chat or send us an email to get the process started.

Our Customer Service team are available to call, live chat or email; 7 days a week, 9am-5.30pm. You can contact us via email on: hello@nectarsleep.co.uk. 

We normally see that our accessories have been taking around 2-4 days days longer than scheduled due to the restrictions at the manufacturers adhering to Covid-19 guidelines. You will receive tracking information from DPD on the day of delivery. We apologise for the delay and inconvenience this may cause.

We don’t believe that 5 minute sleep tests at a retail store are the way to find a mattress you will sleep on for 30% of your life over the next decade or longer. Our 365 night sleep trial makes sure you can make sure Nectar is right for you. You will be trying Nectar on your bed and in your home, where a sleep trial should be.

It really does not need to cost thousands of pounds to craft a top quality mattress with the best materials. By removing middlemen such as distributors and mattress retailers, and selling directly to you, we can offer you the best pricing possible, basically wholesale pricing. We think it’s crazy to pay thousands of pounds for a mattress.

Nectar provides you with a full year, 365 nights to figure out if Nectar is right for you. If you decide for any reason that Nectar is not your ideal mattress, we’ll remove the mattress from your home and refund you 100% of your payment. Our trial is 3 times longer than any others. Fewer than 3% of Nectar sleepers return their Nectar.

Nectar Mattresses are manufactured and shipped from locations within the UK

Nectar is built of better quality materials, on a stronger base. We chose early on to build Nectar to last as long as our customers would want to sleep on Nectar, or longer. There was a time when every quality product was guaranteed for its full life of use, and we don’t believe that ever should have changed. We guarantee the construction and materials of every Nectar mattress for the full life of use of the mattress by the original owner.

Nectar’s mattress combines four layers of Smart Sleep technology. The Adaptive cooling cover is constructed with a luxurious knitted fabric. Nectar’s foam layers include the Nectar Smart layer, the medical grade memory foam layer and a 7 zone support layer with castellated comfort and air flow. Nectar is constructed from four special grade performance layers and a uniquely milled cooling cover.

Nectar is not designed to be refolded once expanded. The initial compression process uses roller presses which compress the mattress with over 10,000 kgs per square metre for vacuum packing. 

The packed size of a Nectar Mattress plus weight:

Mattress delivery box: 50x50x106cm

Single - 22.20 kg

Small Double - 31.80kg

Double - 31.80kg

King - 36.35kg

Super King - 43.02kg

Nectar is independently certified by Certipur, a 3rd party global rating standard, and five other rating groups, to be free from known harmful chemicals and gasses. Nectar is free from Ozone depleters, heavy metals, formaldehyde, Phthalates and Volatile Organic Compounds. Our mattress is also naturally resistant to Bed Bugs.

Nectar is plush but highly supportive. We rate Nectar at a 6.5-7.5 on a 1-10 scale if 1 is a feather pillow and 10 is a cement floor. Nectar is designed for perfect long term support with true top layer comfort. We encourage you to give Nectar a try remembering that if you are not fully satisfied we will always be happy to take Nectar back.

We designed and built Nectar for consistent and firm support edge to edge. Unlike some spring mattresses which sag at the edge, Nectar is always a consistent and perfect firmness edge to edge.

As this mattress is made of memory foam (and lots of it!) there can be a smell which is normal, be sure to ventilate your room and this should start to fade after a few days. Nectar is Certipur certified - so you don't have to worry about any harmful chemicals.

If the smell lingers, try setting down a small bowl of white vinegar in the room, it absorbs odours really effectively. Leave it in the room for a few days.

Alternately, you could sprinkle baking soda across the mattress, leave it for an hour or so then hoover it up. Baking soda is also an effective odour eliminator. 

We use a number of couriers to deliver our products to you. Your Mattress will be delivered by BJS Home Delivery, currently they are delivering to your front door due and will not enter your property. These safety precautions have been put in place for the protection of both our team and for you, our customers. 

Our Non-Mattress items arrive separately from the mattress and will be delivered by DPD for the smaller items (all bedding items - Mattress Protectors, Duvets, Bedding Set, Whole Night's Sleep Pillow, Weighted Blanket) and by TNT or Tuffnells for the larger items (Bed Frames, Sofa Beds).

For Old Mattress Collection (Including Old Mattress and Bed Frame Collection), please be aware that this takes place separate to your mattress delivery. It will not be removed by the team that deliver your mattress. Our partners Anyjunk carry out these collections and they will collect from outside your property and recycle the mattress responsibly. 

For any postcodes that fall into the Remote Location category, your mattress may not arrive on your nominated delivery date. Our Delivery partners, BJS will contact you to arrange a delivery date once the delivery routes have been confirmed. BJS do not visit these postcodes on a daily basis so the routes need to be carefully planned in advance.

Surprisingly, Nectar and the expensive mattresses in a store usually cost about the same amount to produce, but Nectar cuts out distributors and middlemen and sells Nectar to you directly, so you never pay markups.

Yes, you will. The evening before the delivery of your mattress you will receive an email with a tracking link and your 3 hour delivery window.

We are really pleased to announce that we are partnering with Splitit, the leading monthly instalment plan service. You will be able to select this payment method at Checkout and choose the plan that suits you. [Learn More]

The Splitit solution enables Nectar to provide instant monthly-instalment payment services to you for a Nectar mattress using your existing credit card.This means you can buy a Nectar mattress now and pay it back in affordable instalments.

As part of the acceptance process, a request is made for 50% of the cost of the order to ensure your credit availability. This request is made and then reversed a second or two later. The money is not withdrawn from your account but the request may take 2-5 working days to be released from your card dependent on your bank.

Splitit then requests authorisation from your credit card company, reserving the total purchase amount from your available line of credit. Then, each month, according to the payment plan you select, Splitit will collect the instalment amount and request authorisation for the remaining balance—before the current authorisation expires. 

The Splitit service, which takes just seconds to operate, is initiated directly from Nectar’s website.

No it will not. If you use a Splitit instalment plan there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees, are the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations declines, there is still no effect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The decline would accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which is not declined).

No, not at all - with Splitit you can choose to spread your order total over 3 months and you’ll only need to pay the first instalment when you are placing your order. However, as part of the acceptance process, a request is made for 50% of the cost of the order to ensure your credit availability. This request is made and then reversed a second or two later. The money is not withdrawn from your account but the request may take 2-5 working days to be released from your card dependent on your bank.

You will also need to have your bank account details handy and possibly your credit or debit card information for ID verification. Please enter these carefully as mis-typing information means automatic checks fail and this will slow down the process.

No, the Duologi application process is 100% paperless. You will simply need to provide your credit/debit card information and bank account details but no need to present the actual card at any point.

When an application is referred this is usually because there is some information that is not able to be verified immediately. Once an application has been referred the information is manually verified by an Agent and a decision is made which you will be informed of via email.
