Shipping Costs Are ReducedComfort Level Is Much HigherLife of the Mattress
Mattress technology has come a long way in a short period of time. Back in the dark ages, it was straw, then we moved to spring mattresses. It seems like just yesterday that waterbeds were the new kid on the block. Now we’ve got tempurpedics, different kinds of memory foam, and other advancements on the horizon. There’s so much information coming in that it seems like maybe we’ll never catch up. And it’s not like you can get a mattress cheap, usually, it’s a significant investment to buy a brand new mattress! So we at Nectar thought we’d see how our mattress measures up against the “classic” traditional innerspring mattress. What are the pros and cons? Are we just trying to build a better mousetrap, or does memory foam make for a mattress cheap and also valuable? We came up with a list of criteria for you to look at before making your next purchase. Happy hunting for a mattress cheap and well made!

Shipping Costs Are Reduced

One way for Nectar to keep their price points down is that we are able to ship inside of a vacuum sealed compact box. That means that we don’t have to hire special trucks to make the delivery to your house. This is different than spring mattresses that do require this special vehicle (or require you to go to a mattress store and pick them up). Remember the feeling of tying a mattress to the roof of your car and worrying that it might blow off with a fast headwind? Well, there’s no need to worry about that with a Nectar . We send it right to you, and for a fraction of the cost. Advantage: Nectar

Comfort Level Is Much Higher

Nectar mattresses use four different types of memory foam for maximum comfort that contours to your body. Nectar uses space age technology to keep firmness while still delivering comfort with a mattress cheap. A traditional coiled mattress still has firmness, but by virtue of its design it is more of a “one size fits all” type of feeling, with the mattress staying hard or firm throughout its design instead of contouring to your body. Some people may prefer this, but the average sleeper is definitely going to trend toward the memory foam. Advantage: Nectar

Life of the Mattress

Nectar mattresses come with a forever warranty. This is because while the materials can move with heat, they will never sag or lose their support. On the other hand, by virtue of their design, most spring based mattresses have a lifespan of only about 5-10 years. The springs often uncoil, making for an uneven, saggy bed. This means having to replace it, or risk poor sleep and back problems. Advantage: Nectar So there you have it, for quality, comfort, and pricing, Nectar can’t be beaten by traditional mattresses. This is one mattress cheap and done right. That, coupled with its forever warranty means you are making a sound investment in your health, your sleep, and your overall well-being. Don’t believe us? Try one and feel the difference.
