Nectar Mattress 365 Night Trial: What Is it and How Does it Work?

Shopping online is a convenient, efficient, and often easier way to buy things these days, which is why e-commerce has exploded over the past decade. However, while the buying part of the equation is often more pleasant and easy online, any time you buy something via your computer or phone, there’s the risk that it won’t be what you were expecting and hoping for. Then, not only do you have to invest more time in restarting your product search, but you also have to navigate the hassle of returning your online purchase (if even possible!) and possibly eat the cost of shipping.

In many ways, a great mattress seems like it would be one of the hardest products to buy online. After all, without being able to luxuriously flop down onto every mattress on the showroom floor to test them out, how will you know if the mattress is right for you? What if it’s not? Nectar has come up to an ingenious and generous solution to these problems with their beloved

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress

and their 365-night no-risk trial.

What Is The Nectar Mattress?

The Nectar Mattress is a surprisingly high-quality memory foam mattress with a price point that’s significantly lower than competitors in its class. Though it’s also available in the upgraded Nectar Premier Mattress and Nectar Premier Copper Mattress varieties, the standard Nectar mattress is amazingly supportive yet comfortable, masquerading as a significantly more expensive mattress than its $799 price tag would indicate.

The Nectar mattress is 12 inches thick and composed of five layers, each manufactured from premium materials. The outer quilted cool cover is made from a soft, breathable poly-blend with heat wicking, cooling technology to promote airflow and prevent nighttime sweating. Below that, the Nectar Smart Layer is a 3-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam featuring phase-change material that auto-adjusts to your body temperature to help keep you cool and dry. Below that, layers of supportive foam are both comfortable and responsive to help cradle the contours of your body whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or front sleeper. By adapting to your body shape and weight, the Nectar mattress eliminates pressure points and spinal, shoulder, and hip pain.

Due to the high-density memory foam, which displays properties of a viscous liquid, very little motion is transferred across the mattress, a recipe for a sound night of sleep even if you share your bed with a restless sleep companion. Finally, the Nectar mattress ships for free in a small, compact box and comes with two free pillows and luxurious sheets for free. It is backed by a lifetime warranty.

What is the Nectar 365 Night Trial?

The Nectar mattress seems to be nearly universally adored by customers,  so the risk of buying the mattress sight unseen and hating it is slim, Nectar offers customers the most generous mattress trial period in the industry in case you are an outlier. Customers have 365 days from the date of purchase to return the Nectar mattress for a full refund. This means that there is a full year to sleep on the Nectar mattress every night and then decide to return it should you not like the mattress.

How Does the Nectar 365 Night Trial Work?

After placing your order for a Nectar mattress,

you have 365 nights to try it out

. The only caveat is that you cannot issue a return between nights 1-30. Nectar wants you to give the mattress 30 nights to see if you fall in love.

After night 30, if you are still dissatisfied, you can initiate a full refund. To do so, email returns@nectarsleep.com or call 1-888-425-4854. Nectar does not charge return shipping. Instead, they’ll send you a free label or help you find a local donation center for the mattress. You’ll owe nothing. After the return is complete or the donation is made, Nectar sends you a full refund in whatever form you originally paid for the mattress. As an added perk, you get to keep, donate, or dispose of the free pillows, sheets, or any other promotional products you got with your Nectar matures purchase.

What Happens After the Nectar 365 Night Trial?

Further evidence of their commitment to superior customer service, should you keep your Nectar mattress longer than the 365 Night Trial, you’ll have a lifetime warranty on the mattress.

Final Words

The Nectar 365 Night Trial is a pleasantly simple, hassle-free process and eliminates the risk of buying a mattress online without ever testing it out.

Cigar humidor 101: What they are, how they work, and our top picks
A guide to all things cigar humidors
Cigar humidor

Some things get better as they age, including red wines, good high-quality cigars, and George Clooney. Ah, but that red wine will swill if stored upright in a warm, sunny room. And if you leave George Clooney out in the rain, he's probably not going to look his best. And if your cigars suffer overexposure to heat or cold, a glut of humidity, or even overly dry conditions, your prized Montecristo or Highclere stogie will soon taste like ash.

Let's talk about good cigars for a hot minute, specifically proper cigar storage, which depends on having a great humidor. Cigars need precisely controlled temperature and moisture levels to keep them fresh for long-term storage, and without a humidor, you won't be able to keep them at the proper humidity. A cigar will lose quality in less than two weeks without proper storage. With proper storage, however, cigars can improve with age. A smaller, paler cigar may be at its peak flavor profile after six months of careful storage, while a larger, darker, and more robust cigar may be at its best after two or three years.

What is Festivus? (And how to celebrate with the rest of us)
Here's what to know about this 'holiday'
Costanza family on Seinfeld

"Dear son, Happy Festivus." These are the words that introduced us to the holiday known as Festivus on an episode of the classic television show Seinfeld in 1997.

Festivus was created by George Costanza’s father, Frank, as an alternative to Christmas. The holiday falls on December 23 ("To get a leg up on Christmas," Frank claimed). Its origin story dates back to George’s youth when Frank went to the store to buy a doll for his son. Another father was reaching for the same toy — the last on the shelf — leading Frank to "rain blows upon him ... I realized there must be another way."

Here’s how to hack your sleep for your best night’s rest
Better sleep quality, not quantity, is crucial for overall health. Here's what you need
A man sleeping peacefully in his bed getting a good night's sleep.

By now, everyone knows just how crucial of a role sleep plays in our overall wellness. Just getting more sleep is not the answer for most. With the hustle and bustle of the modern world following us into the bedroom, it's no wonder so many of us have trouble sleeping.

We all know the proper steps to get a good night's sleep: No caffeine after 2 p.m., no staring at screens in bed as blue light is horrible for sleep, no drinking excessively before bed, and most importantly, having a bedtime routine. Other helpful actions can include sleeping in a totally dark room, keeping the ambient room temperature around 68 degrees Fahrenheit, making sure to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (yes, even on weekends), and getting outside in sunlight first thing in the morning (window sun does not count).
