Finding the right mattress is not an easy task. Thankfully, shopping around in a
mattress store no longer needs to be part of that process. Not only can you buy your mattress in a box online,
but you can also find thousands of testimonies and reviews on the internet to ensure you buy the perfect bed.
If you have ever considered buying a new mattress online, you’ve probably discovered many different brands - including
BedInABox® and Nectar.
These companies are two of the most popular brands in a very competitive market of online mattress
retailers, and for good reason. Not sure which brand you should go with? This blog post will dive
into the differences and similarities between our products and Nectar’s mattresses, and will
highlight the key points shoppers should consider before buying a new bed.
Inception
BedInABox® is the first company to sell mattresses that have been compressed, rolled,
packaged into a small-scale box, and delivered to your doorstep. We began brainstorming
how to build a machine that could compress and package a memory foam mattress in 2004. By
2006, BedInABox® was in full operation. Because we were the first ones to create and sell
affordable and luxurious mattresses in a box, we have more years of experience than our
competitors. Nectar, for example, was founded in 2016—10 years after we launched the industry.
Suitability
Back sleepers have given strong reviews to both BedInABox® and Nectar mattresses, commenting on how
supportive they feel during rest. However, if you are looking for a firm mattress, think twice about
purchasing from Nectar. Users agree that, over time, this competitor’s product feels like it is slowly
but surely sinking. This sinking feeling is largely due to the construction of Nectar mattresses, which
features a 1-inch top layer made entirely out of their memory foam as compared to BedInABox’s® 3-inch
top layer. This lack of firm support can also affect how comfortable side and stomach sleepers feel
throughout the night. People who consider themselves to be combination sleepers (you alternate between
back, side, and stomach sleeping), may also consider a hybrid mattress – made of
memory foam and springs - like our BedInABox®
Dual Hybrid® and Original Hybrid options.
Motion Transfer
Both of these brands are top considerations when it comes to eliminating motion transfer.
According to internet reviews and customer testimonies, both BedInABox® and Nectar are great
at isolating motion thanks to their memory foam layers. If you’re looking for a way to avoid
waking your partner up when you toss and turn, investing in either of these two brands is the
way to go.
Number of Options
The BedInABox® team has listened to and carefully read through all of our reviews, and has taken them into
consideration when brainstorming how to improve and develop even better products. We acknowledge that
every sleeper has diverse needs, so we have developed a selection of seven different mattresses in
order to accommodate these individual sleep preferences. Our goal as a company is to provide a better
sleeping solution for every customer, which is why we offer seven mattresses with varying heights and
levels of firmness. By comparison, Nectar offers six different mattress models on their website. Both
companies do extend a broad selection of mattresses for the whole family by offering their products in six standard mattress sizes:
Twin, Twin XL, Full,
Queen, King, and California King,
and split king. However, BedInABox® takes it one step further, offering RV queen and RV king sizes on select mattresses.
Mattress Foundations
In addition to USA made mattresses, the BedInABox® Clever Connect® Foundations are also made in
the USA. Their solid support and durability pair flawlessly with BedInABox® mattresses. Nectar,
on the other hand, sources its foundations and bed frames from several global manufacturers,
making the overall quality and consistency questionable. Compared to Nectar’s 60-night in-home
trial, BedInABox® offers our 120-night trial on all Clever Connect® foundations, too.
Adjustable Base Options
At BedInABox®, we offer two adjustable base options: the MotionInABox™ 1.0 and 2.0, while Nectar
also offers 2 Adjustable Bed Frames. Regardless of the different adjustable base options offered,
BedInABox® and Nectar have both mastered the art of creating a high-quality, customizable sleep
experience. Nectar’s Adjustable Bed Frames, similar to the MotionInABox™ 2.0, offers features such as:
-
Head and foot elevation
-
USB ports
-
Wireless remote control
-
Zero-gravity
-
2-zone massage
-
Multiple programmable sleep positions
-
Easily assembled
However, the MotionInABox™ 2.0 also offers a remote flashlight and underbed lighting. Both BedInABox®
adjustable bases come with a 10-year warranty compared to Nectar’s 3-year warranty. We stand by our
adjustable bases and are confident that they will prove to be lasting and beneficial to your sleep quality. To learn more, check out our

space. Most recently, we introduced our MotionInABox® 2.0 full-body adjustable base,
