Sweet Dreams! Getting Good Sleep on a Nectar Sleep Mattress

Sleep…we all need it but for some of us, getting good sleep is more work than it ought to be. With the stressful lifestyles most of us live, long gone are the days of flopping onto the bed, pulling up the covers and instantly entering dreamland. Even my teenage son, who plays football and works out at the gym daily, doesn’t sleep as easily and as peacefully as he used to. Many times we blame our activity, but sometimes we have to look at the obvious: is our mattress helping or hurting our sleep?

We buy new cars every few years, buy new clothes every season and rotate our tires, but we often forget that our mattress gets used daily and needs attention, too. Even if your current mattress isn’t sloped or showing signs of wear and tear, chances are it is if you’ve had it for any length of time. If you aren’t getting good sleep most nights of the week, be sure to check out your mattress while you’re also examining possible issues with your schedule or health that could be negatively impacting your sleep.

Nectar Sleep sent me a complimentary mattress in exchange for sharing this post with you. I can tell you our personal experience and give you a short video on what set-up looks like, as well as the first ahhhh of laying on the memory foam.

We have pretty high standards for a mattress and we knew Nectar Sleep wouldn’t let us down. (That’s an affiliate link, fyi!) Nectar’s mattresses are stated as amongst the comfiest out there, and they come with a Full Comfort Guarantee and Forever Warranty. Don’t like it? Let them know and they’ll take it back. How often do you hear of that?

If you need help with the installation, they’ll even do that for you, but as you’ll see in my brief video a little bit below, I think you’ll be surprised at how easy it is. Ours came looking like the photo below, in a column-shaped canvas bag; it’s heavy but we rolled it into the house without needing more than one set of arms. You can see it’s the width of the mattress, which is the size I requested as my son needed a new mattress. (And that’s his messy room behind the mattress to the right.)

Inside that blue delivery bag is a grey duffel bag that holds the mattress and its set of instructions. If need be, you can carry the mattress with those straps in that bag.

You literally unzip the bag, remove an external protective plastic bag — with this handy little tool they’ve enclosed. We started to use scissors at first, but this tool really makes it much safer to not catch the actual mattress cover when you remove the plastic.

Roll the mattress flat and as it expands to full size, remove the other protective plastic bag, again with the tool. Poof, literally. It expanded to almost full size within seconds and will continue over the next couple of days. (My son’s bed is a raised bed above a desk, so getting any video of installation up there would have been possibly dangerous, not good for a video showing you how to do it!)

The bed sets up on your existing foundation, frame or flat on the floor. No need to buy any further equipment, though Nectar Sleep does sell those if you want. We already had a bed frame so we didn’t need anything else. It even came with two pillows!

The mattress is considered semi-firm to firm, and is covered with a lush foam, wrap and breathable, removable cover. You get the comfort of a pillow top but with the firmness of a mattress, and the top layer stimulates air flow to help keep you cool. See how fast the memory foam cradles my hand but then fills back up after I remove it?

Nectar Sleep even did a study, which showed that Nectar sleepers fell asleep 20% faster than those of other mattresses. I’ll take those odds!

Nectar even offers a 365-day sleep trial, so if you don’t like it, you’re not locked in forever — less than 3% of buyers return their mattress. With Nectar Sleep prices, getting good sleep is also more affordable than most other memory foam mattresses!

My son reported back that the mattress did indeed give him a good night’s rest, no odor and complete comfort all night long! Tired teens are a bear, so thanks, Nectar Sleep, for the gift of a good night’s sleep for an active teenager!

    That looks like it sets up way easier than I would have expected! I need to get a new Queen mattress for one of my kids and I hate the prices of most mattresses. This is something I can afford!

As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver pulled over briefly on this bridge across the river Seine. She explained to us that it was a very popular place for people to take wedding and engagement photos. We got lucky, traffic cleared for a moment and I snapped this shot of a bride and groom in their honeymoon car, just about to drive away. It was a beautiful first real view of this city of romance. I want to go back again, just to wander and eat and try more wines, no real agenda beyond walking and taking it all in.

Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, b Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, but this day spent kayaking on Chilkoot Lake was incredible. Cold, deep water. Snowy peaks. Glacier fed. Slightly terrifying but once we got in the groove, we kicked ass. 10/10 if you take an Alaskan passage cruise.

With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in theaters, the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is even more relevant to me when I visit the park. Last week, the morning after I saw the movie, I was at my happy place and the first ride I went on was Mission Breakout. I got a kick out of the scene where Drax punches the animal in the face, and once you’ve seen GOTG3, you’ll get why. I considered going on it again, but I was on the Carthay wait list (highly recommended if you don’t have a reservation, particularly if there’s only 1-2 in your party) and I got my text to return within 15 minutes for my seat…and I really wanted the bao buns. I did head back later in the evening to watch a Marvel show with Black Widow by the Quinjet. Never saw Mantis though, was really hoping to get a picture with her. 

Don’t skip the gift store on your way off the ride. There’s a whole new batch of GOTGVol3 gear AND new Loki stuff! The purple Loki hoodie had just come out and I grabbed one before they sold out, even though I can’t imagine when I’ll wear it next here in SoCal. With the show coming out on October 6, I’ll wear it…with the a/c on if I need to. There’s also some new stuff in the Studio 17 store — if you haven’t visited it, it’s full of photo opps and gear for all your Marvel needs.

Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, removing its iconic trolley — a photo opp of many memories with my Toontown-playing son — and adding a new ride, Mickey’s Runaway Railway. It’s a mix of animation, motion and music, and I LOVED it. Come along with me on a quick tour of the line-waiting area and part of the ride. Don’t worry, I didn’t share too much so you will still have plenty of surprises!  Say what you will about Disney-loving adults, I don’t care, I waited 35 minutes to ride this and I’ll do it again next time..and the next…and the next. Only warning: hold onto your hats, and ears! The ride is safe and smooth but there are some quick movements that may catch you off guard.

Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I i Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I imagine it would feel like when you’re a contestant on Chopped. What’s in the box? What can I make with it? Except without the pressure to get it all done in 45 minutes or less. Each box makes me be creative, and each item I’ve never tried pushes me a little out of my comfort zone to try new things. Whatever it is, we have so much fun! This box included Blue Potatoes, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Dragon Fruit (Yellow), Ojai Pixie Tangerines, Rhubarb, and a big bag of Fava Beans….which may be my favorite, because shelling them is relaxing and you can’t have too many fava beans and Chianti jokes.

Thank you @MelissasProduce! I’ll be sharing recipes soon. I’m thinking up ideas and will be making them all this week to post here in a reel or on my website. I’ll update later!
