Nectar Mattress Protector Review UK (2022)

Of course, you’re not meant to sleep directly on the Nectar mattress protector, and it certainly shouldn’t change the way your mattress feels.

In fact, if you have a good mattress protector, you shouldn’t even notice that it’s there!

You’ll occasionally find quilted mattress protectors, which will add a top layer of cushioning to your mattress.

These will affect the way your bed feels - but only slightly.

Nectar in the USA actually sells a hypoallergenic quilted cotton mattress protector that’s resistant to allergens and acts as a waterproof barrier for dirt and dust. 🇺🇸

This quilted Nectar mattress protector is not available in the UK.

But our Nectar mattress protector has all the same quality features, and it acts as an almost invisible barrier to safeguard your mattress. 🛡

Silky-smooth feel

The Nectar mattress protector is soft and silky to the touch.

Even though you’ll be putting a sheet over the mattress protector, you don’t want the protector to be plasticky and uncomfortable.

This is especially true if you have a waterproof mattress protector.

The waterproof film of mattress protectors will always be plasticky - this is what makes them waterproof. 💦

But that should be the “behind the scenes” side of it.

The top of a good mattress protector should always be soft and comfortable to not interfere with your sleep.

The Nectar mattress protector gets this right. 👌

Crinkle-free and noiseless

Some cheaper mattress protectors feel and sound like plastic.

You’ll hear them crinkle every time you move around on your bed.

This can be very annoying if you’re trying to get some good shuteye. 👁

Luckily, the Nectar mattress protector doesn’t do this.

When we first unpacked the Nectar mattress protector, it was quite wrinkled and didn’t stretch over the mattress very well, only covering it quite loosely.

But there is a big note when you first unpack the protector, telling you to wash it first to ensure a good fit!

After popping it into the machine and waiting for it to dry (more on this further down), the mattress protector fit over our bed perfectly - and crinkle-free! 🥳

The snug fit ensures that the protector won’t slide to and fro as you sleep.

Cooling protection

Some mattress protectors act as a barrier not only to dirt and moisture but also to airflow - which isn’t desirable.

If your mattress protector isn’t breathable, it’ll trap body heat and slowly warm up your bed.

If you’re a hot sleeper or heavy sweater, this can be uncomfortable. 🥵

Luckily, Tencel Lyocell cellulosic fibres are breathable and absorb moisture efficiently.

The enhanced breathability ensures that your Nectar mattress protector will keep you cool and comfortable all night long. ❄️

Full waterproof protection

Having a mattress protector that looks and feels nice is one thing, but it also has a job to do.

The purpose of a mattress protector is to safeguard your mattress against dirt, spills, stains, and bacteria.

While any cover will protect you against dirt and stains, only a waterproof layer will protect your mattress against spills and moisture.

This is important if you enjoy your morning coffee in bed - or if you’re equipping a bed for a little one prone to night-time accidents! ☕️

Most cot mattresses actually come with a waterproof protector.

And all the best mattress protectors are 100% waterproof - including the Nectar protector!

To test this, we poured a glass of water onto the mattress protector. 🚰

We’re quite the daredevils here at Sleep Hero!

Thankfully, the Nectar protector did its job perfectly, and the water simply rolled off it.

No moisture seeped down into the mattress at all.

That’s a good thing - we would have ruined our mattress otherwise! 😅

Save more with bundle purchases

If you’re looking to buy a new mattress, it will make sense to opt for one of Nectar’s Bundles.

These combine:

• A Nectar mattress (either the original Nectar memory foam mattress or the newer Nectar Hybrid mattress)
• Two pillows
• Mattress protector
• Luxury duvet
• Bedding set (duvet cover, fitted bed sheet, pillowcases)

The Premium, Luxury, and Ottoman Bundles also include a bed frame. 🛏

Nectar is known for its extensive mattress trial periods.

But, there is no trial period for the Nectar mattress protector.

While brands like Emma offer a trial on their protectors, most other comparable brands don’t offer trials on any bedding.

This is purely for hygienic reasons. 🧼

But you probably wouldn’t need a trial for the Nectar mattress protector anyway.

It’s a quality product that does its job well, and it’s available at a fair price.
