While the Nectar mattress can take 24-72 hours to expand fully, you can safely and comfortably sleep on it right away. This is because Nectar's memory foam mattresses are vacuum-sealed, which allows them to be delivered in a timely and cost-effective way. For your very best rest, we recommend giving it 72 hours to completely expand for the most comfortable experience possible.
There are a few factors that go into the expansion time, so here are the big ones: air pressure, humidity, and ventilation. These are all variables in how long it takes before your mattress is completely expanded. If you're living in an especially humid or poorly ventilated area, it might be good to have a backup spot to sleep — just until your mattress gets into its optimum shape. The adjustment period of your Nectar mattress will also vary, based on your environment.
The Nectar Mattress is designed with your comfort in mind. Give it some time to take its full form so it can give you the support it has been constructed for. Here's a helpful Nectar mattress unboxing video for your reference.
How do you know that the Nectar mattress is fully ready? Simple…grab your measuring tape! A Nectar has a 12-inch height, Nectar Premier has a 13-inch height, and Nectar Premier Copper has a 14-inch height.
Once you have your measuring tape, see if the mattress measures inches high. If so, you are good to go.
If it isn’t quite ready yet, no worries. Setting up a Nectar mattress is simple. Just be patient and give it a little more time. We understand it might feel like a long time to wait, but think about it this way: with the Forever Warranty™, your mattress will be with you for life. Every sleep will be be a comfortable and dreamy one once you’re sleeping on your Nectar mattress
Once you unbox your new mattress, it takes time to expand
That’s why we recommended you wait 24 to 72 hours for it to fully expand.
But even if you sleep on a Nectar mattress before the recommended time, don’t worry. t You won’t damage the mattress or stop it from expanding.
We want you to be super comfortable and happy. It's highly unlikely your mattress won't ever expand to the full height, but in case it happens, Contact Nectar right away! Your happiness and satisfaction is our number one concern, and if anything is wrong, we’ll make it right.
We hope you now understand "When can I sleep on my nectar mattress?" So, what are you waiting for? Order your Nectar now and start experiencing sweet ZZZs. Happy sleeping!
