The Nectar Mattress company recently gave me their newest pillow for review. The Nectar Pillow is a shredded memory foam pillow with a Tencel cover. The cover itself is removable and machine washable. If you buy a
Overview of the Nectar Pillow
The Nectar Pillow retails for $75. You can order it direct from their website. The pillow I received came in a plastic package like the one below. If you bought the
Here’s a video that covers some of the highlights of this pillow.
The pillow will expand into shape fairly quickly but I advise fluffing it up and loosening the shredded foam. An easy way to do this is put it in the dryer on a no heat setting. I also throw in a dryer sheet to freshen it up a bit. When the pillow is compressed the foam can get locked together and a dryer is a good way to get the most loft out of your pillow. I would advise doing this before making any adjustments to the loft.
Here’s what the pillow looks like a few minutes after opening it. Notice I have it on a
I like that the cover is Tencel as it makes it more breathable than cotton. Surprisingly, I didn’t notice much off-gassing with these pillows but then again the pillows I received weren’t vacuum packed.
This pillow is made with a shredded memory foam. The size of the foam pieces vary. Here’s a peek at the inside of the
To get a sense of what the foam feels like, here’s a little clip of me squishing the memory foam. Notice that it recovers slowly but also means that it will contour well.
Here’s another view of the pillow from the side where you can see the mesh panels which allow for better airflow into the pillow. You can also see the zipper where you can access the inner chamber. The inner chamber also has a zipper which means you can remove the outer cover and wash it if it gets dirty.
Nectar recently released their graphite pillow which is a considerable upgrade over their original pillow.

We received 2 Nectar pillows with our mattress and they are not the same as what you reviewed. They are uncomfortable. So beware of the deal with your mattress purchase.
You are exactly right Kelly. I received the two scrappy Resident brand pillows as well. Although they are fairly comfortable, they pale in comparison to these pillows. I was also told the company has quit making the Nectar Pillow and instead only sells the Resident pillows me and you have. Talk about a really dumb business decision. I’m sure it was money based and the Nectar pillow probably cost more money to manufacture vs the new one. I don’t think the customers are going to find this very attractive in the future as I was Super disappointed when I got my pillows.
I received the pillows when I bought the mattress and I got the same exact pillows as in this article. I bought it about 6 months ago
I also received 2 pillows that were not terrible but definitely not Nectar pillows. I called Nectar and they sent the correct pillows which are great. I was able to keep the others, too.
I think I received a different pillow also. I live the mattress, but hate the pillows. I got them free with the mattress. Flat and hard. Used them 2 nights. I could see them at Tuesday Morning for $16.95.
That’s the pillow I thought I was getting with my nectar mattress, and was so happy bc of neck & spine issues I can’t use many pillows. I’m annoyed the pillow I goy is some residence brand that feels like a hard memory foam, which I can’t use. Too bad nectar had you review a great pillow that’s not the one in their bundle.
Same experience! They sent me a new one but both are uncomfortable and they know they are doing this. Not sure why they do it because the mattress is so comfortable. Pillows are hard as a rock and are very uncomfortable.
I also received the cheaper resident pillows, even though when I ordered online the photo and description was the nectar pillows. Super frustrating, I returned them.
I received my pillows and they wont inflate even after 7 hrs of them being opened…
The Resident pillow was a disappointment. Lumpy and flat. Not a good pillow for anyone.
I received 2 pillows and they are awful….flat and Company told me to put in dryer for 5 minutes. Now they are lumpy and cannot use as a pillow. I hope the mattress is of better quality. Just bought for a guest room…I will call company re pillows. Bummer
My resident ” free” pillows were full of purple, gray and white scrap foam along with annoying hard pieces of shredded plastic with some foam backing. These would poke you through the cover. The cover is beautiful but the insides look like something swept up from the floor. Lumpy mess.
