Nectar Bed Frame Reviews
While an adjustable bed frame isn’t an absolute necessity for a bedroom set up, it sure can upgrade your sleeping space and help improve sleep quality. There are many benefits of an adjustable bed frame, including their ability to improve back pain, increase blood circulation, alleviate swelling, and reduce snoring. This review focuses on the Nectar Adjustable Base, a bed frame equipped with more features than your standard frame like zero gravity mode and a massager. Now let’s dive into the Nectar bed frame reviews, and discuss who will like it, how much it costs, and how to set it up.

Setting Up The Nectar Adjustable Base
The Nectar Adjustable Bed Frame set up was moderately simple and pretty self-explanatory. But you’re going to need two people for this one, so make sure to call over a buddy. It took us about 30 minutes to set it up, and then a couple minutes to figure out the motor clamp.
You’re probably more competent than us, and could do it in 25 minutes. It was really nice that they included all the tools that we would need to set the bed frame up, so we weren’t scrambling for our own.
Nectar Bed Frame Reviews Design
Modern adjustable bases seem to have a similar design and aesthetic, as the Nectar adjustable base compares to the TempurPedic bases and Lucid adjustable bases as far as design goes. The core composition is made of black metal and has a grey upholstered border, and we’re confident that it can seamlessly blend into just about any bedroom.
Storage
Underneath the bed, you have about 10” of room for storage. That leaves enough space to keep out-of-season clothes, shoe boxes, suitcases, etc. We also want to note that storage space does not change, even when you move the foot and head sections up and down.
Subtle Buzz Sound
In our Nectar bed frame reviews, we found that it’s pretty quiet when you are adjusting it up or down—it actually has a very subtle buzz that is more soothing than anything. We also did not experience any slipping or give in the bed frame and it’s surprisingly quick to make your adjustments. We did notice that if you put too much pressure in certain spots while the bed frame is massaging or moving, it can be noisy. But if you rearrange your sleeping position, the massaging sounds much more gentle, almost like white noise.
Nectar Adjustable Base Features
Now that we’ve looked at the functional specifications of the bed frame, let’s explore the extra features it offers. Here’s an overview of the features included with the Nectar Bed Frame.
- Remote — The remote also has a ton of cool features. You set it up to turn on your television, to save your preferred sleeping settings, and it also has a little flashlight on the end of it. If you look closely, in the image above, you can see all of the features of the remote, including the timer, flashlight, anti-snore button, and the others.
- Massage Feature — Using the provided wireless remote, you can control three massage zones: head, flat, and foot. Each massage session will last 15 minutes. And while we say “massage,” know that it’s more of a gentle vibration—there are no kneading sensations. The massage feature also should work with pretty much any mattress since the vibrations are reverberating through the bed.
- Zero Gravity — Our favorite way to enjoy this bed is a head massage while we’re in the “zero gravity” setting. It’s a position that NASA scientists discovered for their astronauts, and is proven to relieve back pressure while improving circulation. To achieve this setting, there is a “ZG” button on the remote. Nectar offers even more details about zero gravity on their website.
- USB Outlets — Besides all that, the bed frame has two USB outlets on the right side of the bed for easy nighttime charging of your electronics. You might even be able to see in the image above that the USB outlet has a little night light built-in. It’s not enough to disrupt or impair your sleep, but it should serve as an easy way to find the outlets in the middle of the night. It’s almost as if they thought of everything.
Bed Frame Size And Dimensions
The dimensions of this bed frame are a little tricky because it is adjustable at both the head and foot of the bed. While completely flat, the bed frame is 15” tall. When the head of the bed is elevated, it can reach up to 40” in height. When the foot of the bed is elevated, it can reach up to 21” in height. This bed frame doesn’t come with a headboard, but there is a metal bar and the bottom to hold your mattress in place.
This bed frame is offered in the sizes twin XL, full, queen, and king. Nectar also offers the split king option, meaning each side of the frame moves independently so that you and your partner can have your own setups. We want to note how uncommon it is for a brand to offer a proper king size bed frame, instead of having you sync up two sides of a split bed frame. So that’s something we really appreciate.
Adjustable Base Price Summary
Considering all that this bed frame can do, we’d call the price very moderate. We haven’t seen any discounts applied to this bed frame yet [Check deals on Nectar’s website], but remember that if you tack on a Nectar mattress with your purchase, you’ll get a discount (on the mattress), and they’ll throw in two free pillows. Check out this pricing break down by bed frame size:
| SIZE | PRICE (MSRP) |
|---|---|
| Twin XL | $849 |
| Full | $899 |
| Queen | $999 |
| King | $1,498 |
| Split King | $1,698 |
There are certain adjustable bed frames on Amazon that are cheaper (and less feature-rich), but if you compare Nectar’s to that of Leesa, Purple, Casper, Saatva, and GhostBed, it is quite a bit more affordable. A queen size adjustable bed frame for around $1,000, comparatively speaking, is pretty darn affordable.
Nectar Bed Frame Reviews Verdict
We just recently got into reviewing adjustable bed frames here at the Slumber Yard, and we have to say that we’re impressed. This bed frame was fairly easy to set up, and we love all the features (especially the zero gravity). If you’re looking for something to elevate your nighttime and sleeping experience, Nectar’s adjustable bed frame might do the trick. In all seriousness, we think it’s a very good value.

Comparing Nectar vs Lucid Adjustable Base
Although the Nectar and Lucid Adjustable Bases look similar, there are a few notable differences between the two products. For starters, unlike the Nectar bed frame, the Lucid model (called the L300) doesn’t have the built-in massage or zero gravity functionality. On the other hand, the L300 is more affordable and easier to assemble, which could make it more appealing to budget-conscious shoppers.
FAQs
We were sent the bed frame for free by Nectar Sleep so that we could test it out. The bed frame now lives in our office so that we can compare it to other popular bed frames.
Nectar most likely figured that kids did not need an adjustable bed frame, which is why they didn’t make a twin. As for the California king, we don’t have a solid answer for you here—maybe they will make that size in the future.
Nectar products are available in more than 1,500 retailers across the country, but the company doesn’t operate its own showrooms. That said, Nectar Sleep does offer 100% free returns inside the trial window, so there’s very little risk for the first few months with the bed frame.
As of now, they have a bed-in-a-box mattress (I’m sure you’re well aware of that), a pillow, a metal bed frame, a frame + headboard, a mattress foundation, sheets, a weighted blanket, a mattress protector, a platform bed, a nightstand and a dresser.
Not all mattresses will work with an adjustable bed frame. Make sure the bottom of your mattress is flexible, or double check with the company. Most of the bed-in-a-box mattresses out there should work with an adjustable bed frame.
Yes! You can either elevate them at the same time, or just one end at a time.
Yes. The Nectar Adjustable Base comes with a wireless remote.
Yes, on both sides of the frame.
It has a cloth exterior, but the frame itself is made of metal.
