Nectar Pillow Review

Nectar Pillow Price And Bundle Promotions

Here at the Slumber Yard, we’ve tested out pillows on both the luxury side, and budget side of the spectrum. Nectar pillows aren’t necessarily luxury, but it’s not the most affordable option either. What we do think, however, is that it has a pretty great value. We think it’s a quality memory foam pillow with extra bonus points for its unique construction and adjustable firmness levels.

This pillow is only available in one size, and it retails for around $75 — but you can get it for cheaper if you buy it as a bundle with a mattress, mattress protector, sheet set, or foundation. Nectar is also known to run promotions for their mattress, so we wouldn’t be surprised if they have a few sales for this pillow as well.

Nectar’s Pillow-In-Pillow Construction

• Pillow-in-pillow design: This particular pillow has a unique “pillow-in-pillow” design, with a supportive inner pillow and plush outer pillow for comfort. The filling is made with two types of foam, a combination of Nectar’s signature memory foam and neutral feeling polyurethane foam.
• Adjustable filling: This pillow comes overstuffed so you can remove the filling yourself, allowing you to adjust the loft and firmness to your liking. With that said, the stuffing gets super messy. When we pulled out the inner pillow (which was a little hard to remove in the first place) and tried to take out the stuffing, it was hard to keep it from getting everywhere because the shredded pieces of memory foam are so tiny.

The brand suggests you set aside the extra filling and store it, just in case you ever want to make it firmer again. To keep the stuffing from making a mess in your hall closet, we recommend you keep the little foam pieces safely zipped inside a gallon sized Ziploc bag.

Nectar Pillow Dimensions

The pillow’s dimensions are 29″ x 17″ x 5.5″, so any standard pillowcase should work just fine for it. Even though the Tencel outer layer is comfy enough to lay on by itself, we don’t recommend it because your pillow will get a lot dirtier, much faster.

Nectar Pillow Has A Memory Foam Feel

If you’re a lover of all things memory foam, we think you’ll find Nectar pillows to be soft, contouring, comfortable, and accommodating. It feels like dense memory foam, similar to their Nectar mattress if you’re familiar with it.

The foam is slow to respond to pressure, which is typical from memory foam material. It molds to the shape of your neck and head to provide ample support and coziness. It’s a pretty hefty pillow, particularly if you leave most of the filling in. And since you’re able to adjust the pillow’s firmness, we think it sets itself aside from other memory foam pillows like the Layla Pillow or Brooklyn Bedding’s Pillow (the ventilated memory foam one).

Nectar Pillow’s Tencel Cover

They claim the Tencel material on the outer layer of the pillow is a cooling fabric, but we don’t really agree. It’s not cool-to-the-touch, nor is it actively trying to cool us down. We think it feels more temperature neutral. If you’re a hot sleeper, take a look at the Purple Pillow — it has great airflow and we think it’s one of the coolest pillows (temperature wise) we’ve tested so far.

Sleeper Type For Nectar Pillow

Since you can adjust the loft of Nectar’s pillow by adding or taking out filling, this truly can accommodate all sleeper types and any body type as well. 

Side Sleepers

Generally speaking, side sleepers should sleep on a pillow with more loft so their neck and head are properly supported — especially if you’re over ~230 lbs. With this pillow, you’ll want to use more filling rather than less.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers usually want a pillow with more loft as well, but not enough to where you’re looking forwards, instead of upwards toward the ceiling. Our recommendation is to go with a medium fill on this pillow, and adjust to your specific body type.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers will usually sleep better on a pillow with little loft, so their necks aren’t in an uncomfortable, kinked position all night. Stomach sleepers will definitely want to remove a lot of filling from this pillow.

Combo Sleepers

With this adjustable pillow, combo sleepers can cater to their dominant sleeper type and add or remove filling until they’re comfortable. As you can see, this pillow can truly accommodate any sleeping position.

Caring For Your Nectar Pillow

On Nectar’s website, they mention how easy it is to clean the cover on your pillow, just in case you accidentally spill or drool profusely on it. While it isn’t as effortless to clean as the machine washable Casper Pillow or GhostBed Pillow, we still think it’s a no-brainer.

In the case of a stain, you just need to spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Gently pat it out, squeeze out excess water, then lay it out to air dry. Just in case you forget — no need to bookmark this page. The pillow washing instructions will be on Nectar’s care tag.

Nectar Pillow Review Verdict

After testing the Nectar pillow and having our different team members try it out, here are a few of the conclusions we came to. 

• It’s a bit messy: We really like the adjustable firmness concept, but we wish it was a little easier to work with. Some pillows come with inserts, rather than the thousands of mini foam pieces you find in Nectar Pillows.
• There’s a iable return policy: You can always fall back on that return policy in the event you don’t like your pillow, and get 100% of your money back.
• The cost is reasonable: For a memory foam pillow, Nectar comes in at a good price point.
• It suits everyone: Because it’s adjustable, this pillow is a really great option for all sleeper types and body types.
