It started out with me inquiring about a mattress and what money, if any I would get knocked off if I didn't want their "********** accessories". (pillows, cover etc.). I was told I would received 100 off. The next day I purchased through an email link titled "Price drop alert: Get up to $499 in Accessories Included". This had the mattress advertised as 1499 and a photo of the bundle as well for 0.00. I clicked that link. During checkout (it was late around 2:00AM), I did chat with I believe ***. He assured me that 100 would be a credit to my credit card account the next day. I contacted Nectar numerous times spending approximately 2 1/2 hours to get my 100.00 back. All they gave me was a run-around. They would not honor what their employee put in writing. At that time I decided to return the mattress. They would not initiate the return process until I received it. Once received I asked for a return label. They sent an email and I responded. I did not hear back in the 24 hours they promised. I did chat. They would only give me a tracking number. The tracking number was a *** one, and they provided *****'s number. I kept asking over and over for a label and they would only answer with generic statements not answering my question. *** will not pick this up as I do not have a label and they will not bring a label. A Nectar employee even told me that *** would bring a label. After calling ***, *** says they never bring labels. I have disputed this with my credit card company as well. I am now stuck with a mattress that I have no way of returning until a label is provided. SCAM company all over. I also am disputing with my credit card company.Business Response

I purchased a queen mattress set from Nectar in July 2022, which comes with a complimentary sleep bundle that includes pillows from the brand Resident. Nectar also sells a Resident-branded pillow on their website, which is marketed as "overstuffed" but "customizable" since the foam is removable. I had also previously purchased a king set from Nectar, which came with complimentary pillows that had removable foam.
The Resident pillows I received were NOT customizable. The inner pillow is fully sewn up and does not allow you to remove the foam. Further, the pillows were extremely overstuffed and impossible to sleep on, causing terrible neck pain.
I reached out to customer service and they said that the Resident pillows that come in the complimentary sleep bundle are completely different (???) from the Resident pillows sold on the website, and that the complimentary pillows are not customizable. This is extremely deceptive marketing, especially because the complimentary sleep bundle is a principal selling point of deciding to shop with Nectar in the first place. Why would they include pillows that are not even sold on the website? Because they know that it is a less desirable product and throw it in with the bundle, knowing that customers will assume it is the same as the Resident-branded pillow that they sell on the website.
They offered a 10% discount on the pillows with removable foam, but that does not make up for the bait and switch they are pulling with customers, especially ones who have shopped with them repeatedly. The only way to make this right would be for Nectar to send me the pillows with removable foam FREE OF CHARGE.Business Response

The mattress contains fiberglass. No instructions were sent with the mattress. I took the cover off fiberglass spread. I have issues with itchy skin and wheezing. I have since replaced the mattress with a more expensive mattress. I am trying to get a refund from a product that is not fit for a particular purpose.Business Response

The mattress I bought from Nectar came with a "Forever" guarantee that states:
THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS ARE COVERED:
Any manufacturing defect in the assembly of the Mattress Cover.
Over the 2 years I've owned the mattress the cover has gradually slipped around, deforming the mattress.
I contacted Nectar on July 23rd to initiate the warranty replacement. A Nectar agent requested a photo of the problems on the mattress. I sent photos as requested. On July 25th, at 12:20 the Nectar agent responded "We can certainly send you a replacement mattress for you! Let me just confirm first if your shipping address is still the same..."
The Nectar warranty department and I have since had a lengthy email chain where they've claimed, untruthfully, that there's a stipulation that no mattress will be warranty replaced if it is stained. The warranty does say that the mattress won't be returned exclusively because of staining, but it does not state that stains void all aspects of the warranty.
I'm returning the mattress for a manufacturers defect only. Yet they maintain I have to 'spot clean' it until there are no stains, which isn't possible. I've spent a couple hours cleaning the mattress according to their instructions and they have now refused to accept the return based on the stains.Customer Answer

***Document Attached***
The issue is with the mattress cover gradually migrating toward the center of the mattress. The gray part of the mattress actually should be on the side and should not be showing at all on the top of the mattress. The third pic shows the mattress after I cleaned it with a method they suggested, which made the stain worse. They're falsely claiming that there's a clause in the 'forever' warranty that voids all other aspects of the warranty if there are stains on the mattress. Given that all mattresses will be stained to some extent after 2 years of normal nightly use, they can wiggle out of pretty much any warranty commitment.

I ordered a bed last year and received the bed. We followed the instructions of setting up the bed. After having the bed for almost a year. I was changing my sheets and mattress protector (first time changing mattress protector) I noticed there was a large dark spot under the zipped mattress protector. I unzipped the cover and noted a large amount of mold covering the mattress. I called nectar to request a refund or exchange. They explained that this is an environmental issue and due to me unzipping the mattress cover I voided the warranty. My mattress delivered to my house, has never been exposed to any type of excess moisture and there is no reason why my mattress should be covered in mold. I requested to speak to a supervisor multiple and was told the supervisor**** would call me within 24 hours. I did not receive a call so I called back 3 days later. I was told yet again that my request for a supervisor call was pending. I requested a phone call within 24 hours because I did not want them to use the excuse of "we are passed the 365 sleeps" to disregard my complaint. I finally spoke with**** for about 4 minutes and she said she was going to touch base with her team and call me right back. After several calls back to Nectar, this still has not been resolved. I sent pictures over as they requested and they have not provided any action to remedy.Business Response

I am a 71 year old woman with ******* *********** ********** ******** bought a mattress and frame from Nectar Sleep online in February of 2022. I slept on it one night and it was extremely uncomfortable. I got in touch with the company and asked them to pick the mattress up. They told me to take photos of the bed and then kept giving me the runaround. They are still asking for photos and ignoring me. I've just found out there has been a class action suit against the company. I am returning to Massachusetts on the 9th of this month be (August) for health reasons and to be closer to family. I am now responsible for getting rid of a mattress that might be potentially harmful to someone else, I will have to pay to have it removed from my home so I can move. I want the mattress removed now and would like compensation for the cost of the mattress. I will accept a replacement of another brand of mattress when I relocate to **************Business Response

I ordered a mattress. Accidentally used an email address I had closed the account on. Nectar could not locate my order. I received that mattress but had already ordered a second one. They both showed up. I requested a return and the first mattress was picked up on 7/12/22. I want that money back. $1183.00. If I do not hear from them within 2 weeks I will fly out to ***************** or wherever and file suit but that will include airfare, time off work and I'm not a low salary peon, legal fees and motel. I do not have supporting documents other than the email of the mattress being picked up and the debit to my account.Business Response
