    Eco Friendly Mattress: Nectar Mattresses are eco-friendly. Nectar mattresses use a tencel cover and vegetable-based polyurethane for their memory foam. All certified flexible polyurethane foams are tested and analyzed twice in the first year, and re-certified annually thereafter. We only have one earth out there, and it’s important to Nectar to keep it clean and liveable — not just for us, but for our animal friends too.

    Nectar’s Cooling Cover is Made from Tencel

    Nectar custom mills their cooling covers from tencel and the highest quality organic long staple cotton that was rainfed and grown with natural fertilizers (never chemicals). Made from a sustainable wood cellulose, which is then turned into a super small fiber that is both breathable and comfy. That makes for a super cool and breathable sleep.

    And as for Nectar’s cotton, they source only the finest Fair Trade & GOTS certified non-GMO organic cotton that has been hand-picked, loomed, and dyed with low-impact dyes.

    Is Nectar an eco-friendly mattress?

    Nectar takes extra steps to use foams that meet rigorous standards for emissions, content, performance, and durability.

    The foam layers – which are made primarily of vegetable-based polyurethane – include:

    • “Lush” 1-inch four lb semi-open fast-recovery gel memory foam
    • A 3-inch 3.5lb memory foam with medical grade cooling and recovery levels
    • Finally a 2.2 lb high-density base foam.

    That’s a lot of scientific talk to say that our mattress is latex-free and also naturally resistant to bed bugs and dust mites. A double win!

    As far as chemicals, Nectar’s memory foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, a 3rd party global rating standard, which means that it meets rigorous standards for emissions, content, performance, and durability. The CertiPUR-US® certification of Nectar’s foams means that it is
