In the market for a new mattress, and looking for a Nectar discount code to take the price down? We have excellent news: there are decent offers on both sides of the Pond right now. Nectar makes some of the best mattresses around, and boasts an industry-best 365-night trial and forever warranty too. To see what the other brands are doing, head to our best cheap mattress deals roundup.
In the US: The latest Nectar deal gets you 33% off everything at Nectar in its March Mattress Markdown sale (opens in new tab). You don't need a Nectar promo code to claim – this deal will appear automatically when you check out. We see this offer pretty much all the time from Nectar, but it's not often bettered.
In the UK: The current Nectar mattress sale gets you up to 50% off any mattress in the Spring sale (opens in new tab). Usually, Nectar offers around 40% off, so now is a good time to buy for that extra saving, plus you get free named day delivery.
It's worth factoring in that we've never actually seen the Nectar mattress selling at RRP, and that RRP / MSRP also fluctuates more than most, so it's better to look at the price rather than the percentage discount. The standard price for the Original you can expect is around the following: Single £459, Double £599, King £689, Super King £759.

What Nectar mattress options are there?
In the UK, there are two mattresses to choose from: a memory foam only model, and a hybrid, which adds a layer of springs. The luxurious, medium-firm memory foam Nectar original scores very highly in our best mattress ranking (head to our Nectar mattress review for more info). It's designed to cradle your body as you sleep. If you want something you can move about on more easily, you might prefer the Nectar Hybrid, which adds springs for a bit of bounce.
In the US, you have even more choice. There's your original Nectar mattress, which is memory foam only, but also the Nectar Premier (opens in new tab) with PCM-infused gel memory foam for enhanced cooling and a denser comfort layer, and the Premier Copper, which is taller and claims to be both cooler and more supportive than either of the other two mattresses in the range.
This company shines in one particular area: it offers a whopping 365-night trial on its mattresses. The company is that confident you'll like its memory foam mattresses that it gives you a whole year to test them out. If you're not 100% happy within that time, Nectar will collect the mattress for free and give you a full refund. (Nectar also makes some great sleep accessories, including one of the best weighted blankets around).

How good is the Nectar mattress?
The Nectar Original mattress is a no-nonsense memory foam mattress (opens in new tab) comprising of three layers of foam. The first layer is polyurethane foam, which offers different levels of tailored support. Then there's a layer of cushioning memory foam, which moulds to your body shape. Finally, on top sits a 'Nectar smart layer' – which the company says is 30 times more breathable than regular memory foam. The Nectar is exceptionally comfortable and supportive. In fact there's not a whole lot separating it from our #1 memory foam mattress – check out our Emma Original vs Nectar mattress comparison for more on that.
The Nectar mattress is medium-firm, making it a good match for anyone who moves around a lot, or likes to sleep on their back, side or stomach. Nectar is certainly confident that you’re going to love the mattress. The company has shunned the usual 100-night trial – instead offering an almighty 365-night trial period. Plus, you benefit from a ‘forever’ warranty, unlike the 10-year guarantee from other bed-in-a-box (opens in new tab) brands.
Which Nectar mattress should I buy?
Not sure which Nectar mattress is right for you? If you're visiting from the UK, it's simple: there's only one Nectar mattress, the Nectar Memory Foam mattress.
In the US, you have a few choices available. Alongside the Original (which is the US bestseller), there's the Nectar Premier (the highest rated) and Nectar Premier Copper (the most advanced mattress. All three offer the same firmness (6.5 out of 10) but as you move up the range the mattresses offer improved pressure relief, better cooling, and decreased motion transfer. They also get thicker (12", 13" and 14" respectively) and, as you'd expect, more expensive. Check out a full comparison here (opens in new tab).
How much does a Nectar mattress cost?
At full price, the Nectar mattress is at the lower end of the high-end mattress market. In 2022, in the UK, RRP prices for the Nectar original start at £569 for a Single. A Double is £749, a King costs £819 and a Super King will set you back £929.
However, we've literally never seen these mattresses selling at RRP. If we were cynical, we'd say it was so Nectar could bandy about phrases like '40% off!' more freely. A typical price you might expect is a Single for around £459, Double £599, King £689, Super King £759. Less than that, and you're getting a pretty good deal.
It's a similar situation in the US: there's an official MSRP, but we don't ever really see any of these mattresses sold at anywhere near that price. The official MSRP also seems to shift around a bit. In short, it's all a bit sneaky and misleading – we'd recommend just looking at the current price and comparing that to the competition, rather than reading too much into the discounts.

When making your purchasing decision, factor in the value of the extras you get with Nectar. Firstly, that impressive 'forever' guarantee means you have a guarantee for as long as you own the mattress: in the words of Nectar, 'forever means forever'.
Secondly, there's a 365 night trial, which matches the longest any company offers (and those that do offer this long a trial are very few and far between). Finally, there are very regular deals and sales that either drop the price or bundle in sleep accessories for free, to help you save. This is the page to bookmark for any Nectar mattress discount codes and deals.

(opens in new tab)Nectar Black Friday deals: what you need to know
The Black Friday sales can be a great time to pick up a new mattress for a bargain price. All the big mattress brands run some kind of Black Friday offer, so you can be confident you'll be able to snap up a cheap deal. However, with discounts and deals being such a common occurrence in the mattress world, it's not always the case that you'll get the biggest offer of the year over Black Friday.
In the US for Black Friday 2021, Nectar knocked $100 off mattresses and threw in a $399 accessory bundle. It's not exactly a standout deal – the free accessory bundle is pretty much a constant, and the discount is less common but still far from rare.
In the UK for 2021, Nectar launched its early access Black Friday deal near the start of November. That offer knocked 45% off any mattress (so a Single was £312.95, a Double £411.95, a King £450.45 and a Super King £510.95). This was followed up with an extended Cyber Week sale, which ran until 5 December and was effectively just the same accessories bundle deal we see all the time.
In 2020, Nectar offered a T3 UK exclusive of £135 off mattresses and 2 free pillows, which has since been bettered a few times.
In the US, Black Friday 2020 saw price drops across the range, plus free sleep accessories thrown in (that year, a Queen sized Nectar memory foam mattress dropped to $799). For Black Friday 2019, US shoppers could get $100 off mattresses, plus two free memory foam pillows (worth $150).
In short, Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't exactly a big deal for Nectar; you can expect to see equally good offers all year round.
