This month we’re doing something a little different. Instead of reviewing this great Nectar Mattress, we decided to have a friend and fellow blogger, Rachel from Tools2Tiaras.com try this mattress for us. WHY? Well, I wanted to see what someone who’s NEVER slept on a memory foam mattress before thought of the Nectar mattress. They claim it’s the “bed of your dreams” but would Rachel have sweet ones?
1. Why did you decide to switch from spring to memory foam?
I heard many good things about memory foam but I was very skeptical. I started waking up with back aches and headaches and never associated it with my mattress. I travel a lot and noticed when I was away I would feel much better in the mornings. I finally put two and two together that it was the mattress! That’s when I decided to try a memory foam.
2. How difficult was it to get the mattress out of the box?
I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get the mattress out of the box and to set it up from beginning to end! I actually set up a queen mattress all by myself! Amazingly easy!
3. What do you find different about sleeping on the Nectar Mattress vs. a traditional innerspring mattress?
The Nectar Mattress definitely felt different the first week. It took a little longer to fall asleep because I was so used to sinking 10 inches into my old mattress. Ok, maybe not 10 inches but I really sunk in into my old mattress and I would automatically roll (slide) to meet my husband in the middle. Once I fell asleep, I slept the entire night! After a week, I was used to the “new feeling” and I notice I fall asleep much quicker than in the past and I don’t wake up sweating during the night. It REALLY does keep you cooler.
4. Are there any tips you could share with our readers about set-up or sleeping on the mattress?
The mattress does have an odor when you first open it. I didn’t notice the odor until it was set up for about an hour. I received a tip to sprinkle baking soda on the mattress and pillow and then vacuum it. That worked pretty well, but it still had a faint odor. After a week it was gone. I’m really having the best nights sleep I’ve ever had!
5. What would you tell readers who are thinking about buying a Nectar Mattress for the first time?
I have been mattress shopping for a while now and it’s scary to make such an expensive purchase and be stuck with it. I went to EVERY mattress store and everything I saw was over $1200. Anything that was priced lower was literally a cheap quality mattress that felt like you were at camp. I really wanted a good quality mattress because I’m not getting any younger and I also know that a good night sleep is important. The Nectar Mattress is priced SO GOOD. I mean you can not find a good quality mattress from $500-$900! Nectar also gives you 365 days to sleep on the mattress, but you’ll be hooked after 1-2 weeks. I would also say to be patient, you really need to give it at least a week. You have to get used to the different feeling.
I always slept with two pillows and this is the first time I’m sleeping on one pillow. I have ten pillows (NO LIE) that I would rotate in order to get comfortable at night. The joke with my husband when we went to bed was I would always say, “Someone (not a robber, a pillow switcher) came in and messed with my pillows”
From the NECTAR Sleep website
Nectar Sleep is one of the top online memory foam mattresses available to consumers searching for a better night’s sleep.

Minta Boggs says
Since I’m a stay at home mom I don’t think I would object. lol
Carol M says
I work at home so she would never know! 🙂 and they would probably be flamingo pajamas.
Linda Kish says
I’m retired now so it wouldn’t matter but, when I worked, it wouldn’t have gone over well at all.
mami2jcn says
I don’t have a boss but I wear PJs as often as possible!
Cheryl B says
I work T a school and we often have PJ day. 🙂
Carly S says
My boss would be perplexed for sure!
Natalie J Vandenberghe says
Currently, I’m unemployed. As a former government (federal, state and local) employee, I would say I’ve never worked in an environment where coming into work wearing PJs would be acceptable.
Elena says
I don’t have a boss so that’s not a problem
heather says
My boss would not allow me to wear Pj’s to work. I like the multi layers of this mattress and we so need a new one.
Natalie says
My boss would send me right back home and change if I wore PJs to work.
nickie says
I don’t have a boss, I wear PJ’s often at home 🙂
kelly tupick says
My boss would hate it and probably send me home.
Christina Almond says
Well…I only work for myself from home so I’ve been known to do such a thing! Hah!
Jon Almond says
My boss would be ok with me being in my PJS as long as I sold product.
Mitch says
Well, I am a blogger, so I often wear pj’s to work! On dress up day!
Thanks,
Mitch
Jenn says
I came close and wore yoga pants for a few days after a medical procedure and no one even cared. Although I think pajamas would be pushing it and he might send me home.
Nicole Zerbini says
Being that I work from home, pj’s are encouraged! 😉
Jennifer Lang says
I’m my own boss/stay at home Mom … I’m sure I’d be just fine with staying in pjs. 😁😁😁
Sonya Morris says
I am my own boss by being a stay at home mom and I don’t wear my pajamas all day even though it is tempting!
Ali says
I’ve heard so many wonderful comments about the Nectar Mattress’s. I also sleep with a lot of pillows they have to be positioned a certain way for me to sleep.
Bridgett says
I would get sent home if I wore my pj’s to work…
harolde says
I think she would think I was crazy and would probably close my office door and leave me alone for the rest of the day.
Susan Christy says
I don’t think my boss would be too happy if I wore PJ’s to work!
Jessica Lodge says
I’m a SAHM so I guess that makes me my own boss, and I am fine with wearing PJ’s to work. In fact I do it often 🙂
Terry says
I am retired so I guess my boss would not care. Had I wore PJ’s to work in my past positions, I would have been sent home.
rachael says
I work from home so pajamas are a must.
Starla says
This looks and sounds like such an amazing mattress. It’s so interesting to see how the product arrives and how its packaged. If I showed up to work in my PJS my boss would definitely send me home to change, lol. I happen to work in the emergency room so that would definitely not work. However, I would be way more comfy, lol!
Lindsay A. says
I work from home, so I’d say it’s a plus! The more comfort, the better!
shelly peterson says
He would think I was crazy.
Chrissy says
If I wore my pjs to work my boss would probably think something was horribly wrong because she knows I actually enjoy getting dressed up for work. She would be seriously worried about me!
Paula S. says
I don’t have a boss – I don’t work outside the home, so I can leave my pj’s on for as long as I want. And it is fabulous!
Em Mahr says
It would not go over well if I wore pajamas to work. For the first 30 minutes or so they would just tease me mercilessly and then I would probably get called into my bosses office, given a lecture about professionalism, and then get sent home to change.
Maria Beas says
She would laugh then offer/lend me some money to buy myself some decent/formal clothes to wear to work. Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing giveaway.
Trisha Musgrave says
I think my boss would be pretty baffled and send me home!
Shawna O. says
I’m a stay at home mom so I wear PJs at home often because they are so comfy, but I would get some strange looks and comments if I was to wear PJ’s outside my house to the grocery store, to my kids school and so forth. Thank you for this great giveaway!
