Crucial Warning: "Fiberglass" Legacy

Generation 1 Nectar Original/Classic mattresses (approx 2017-2021) often used a fiberglass fire sock.

DO NOT remove the cover of older models, even if there is a zipper. Releasing fiberglass is a health hazard. Current 2024 models are certified fiberglass-free, but caution is advised for any used or secondary market units.

Accelerated Wear

Est. Life: 3-5 Years

High compression forces. Transition layer fatigue likely by Year 2-3. 'Sleeping in a hole' feeling possible.

The Warranty "Gap"

Nectar's "Forever Warranty" is marketed aggressively, but the 1.5-inch indentation threshold is a major hurdle.

Most user complaints center on sagging between 1.0" and 1.25" – deep enough to cause significant back pain, but not deep enough to trigger a replacement.

Claim Denial Alert: Stain Policy is Strict.

Even a small sweat stain voids the warranty. A waterproof protector is mandatory.
