Nectar Sleep is expanding into the luxury mattress market with its latest Nectar Ultra mattress. Available in both memory foam and hybrid designs, this ultra-thick bed offers more cooling, cushioning, and support than any of Nectar's beds. Pricing for Nectar's Nectar Ultra starts at $1,299.

The Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress is one of the top recommendations in the 2024 Best Mattresses Guide due to its all-around comfort and excellent pressure distribution. The Ultra design promises four times better cooling and four times more memory foam contouring than this popular bed, plus ergonomic zoning for added support.

The Nectar Ultra mattress is available in both all-foam and hybrid models, potentially suiting a wide range of sleep styles. While it may not be as versatile as its upscale competitor, the Sertova Classic, this luxurious, thick design should be ideal for couples.

The Ultra was launched in time for the Black Friday mattress sale and is already up to 50% off. Even with the sale, this is still a premium bed. However, it also comes with premium benefits such as a one-year trial and a lifetime warranty.

The Nectar Ultra mattress is at the top of the Nectar lineup and is a premium-priced bed. Here is the current selling price (and list price) of the Nectar Ultra Memory Foam Mattress: [and here is the current selling price and list price of the Nectar Ultra Hybrid Mattress:

Nectar offers the best perks: a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty. This is comparable to the benefits offered by luxury bed brands like Saatva. However, while regular delivery is free, customers who want premium white glove delivery service must pay an additional fee.

So how do these prices compare to similar beds: the Saatva Classic is at the top of our Best Luxury Mattresses guide and is currently $1,795 for a queen size at Saatva. For an all-foam luxury mattress, the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud starts at $1,699 at Tempur-Pedic.

Nectar is known for its permanent sales, and larger discounts may appear in Nectar's Black Friday sales. However, Nectar does not typically launch big deals on big sale days, so now would be a good time to shop.

Both Nectar Ultra Mattresses are a luxurious 15 inches tall and thick, and are packed with Nectar's latest sleep innovations. The thicker mattresses provide ample pressure distribution for side sleepers, but are difficult to get in and out of for those with limited mobility.

As variations on the same design, the Ultra Memory Foam and Ultra Hybrid share similarities. Both beds have breathable, cool-feeling covers with antimicrobial properties for a fresher sleep.

Underneath the cover is a layer of pressure-relief memory foam. This 4-inch thick, high-density foam conforms to the body to distribute weight and relieve pressure buildup. This layer also uses a phase change material that dissipates heat, and Nectar promises that this mattress is four times cooler than Nectar's classic design.

Next is a 3-inch layer of support foam. This layer features three ergonomic zones that provide more secure support for the central area (hips, spine, and shoulders). This is the only Nectar mattress with enhanced lumbar support, so if you are choosing a Nectar mattress for back pain, this is the mattress for you.

Now that we have described the similarities, let's explore the differences. The Nectar Ultra Memory Foam has 8 inches of heavy-duty support foam at the base. This “motion isolation” layer uses high-density foam to absorb movement while providing stability throughout the bed.

Instead of a thick foam layer, the Ultra Hybrid combines an 8” high layer of pocket springs with a final foam foundation layer. The Ultra Hybrid has springs that provide more resilient support.

The Ultra design combines all the advantages of the Nectar mattress in both an all-foam and hybrid form. It offers luxury and comfort at a premium price.
