Launched in 2016 with a vision to make the most comfortable mattress money can buy, Nectar currently sells 1,000 mattresses a day in the US and has taken the direct-to-consumer sector by force, with a revenue run rate of $315m.

The UK mattress market, currently worth an estimated £2.3bn^[1], and online share is predicted to grow by 23 per cent^[2] by 2021. This has led to a succession of new entrants to the category and Nectar is looking to introduce its consumer-centric business model and high-quality 'bed in a box' product to grab significant market share in the UK.

Operating as Nectar Sleep, the UK business will focus on catering to changing consumer demand for convenience and environmentally-friendly products, sold exclusively online.

Key innovations include a market-leading 365-night trial and forever warranty for its custom-made mattress, boasting a patented Adaptive® Cooling Cover and four-layer design. Manufactured in Nottinghamshire, it will also be the only climate neutral mattress available on the UK market^[3].

With all its products, the company aims to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy, aided by the lower operating costs of its global, distributed workforce and agile social and affiliate-led marketing activity.

Angela Crouch, Managing Director at Nectar Sleep, says: "The UK mattress market has seen a seismic change in recent years, as shoppers grow frustrated by traditional retailers and expect a smarter and more 'on-demand' process. With a business model that challenges competitors in this space and through access to top talent, we see the UK as the best place to expand our international operations."

"We understand the positive impact of a good night's sleep, which is why our philosophy of Smart Sleep is embedded in everything we do. From high quality design, innovative cooling technology right through to our seamless delivery process, competitive pricing and unique 365-day trial period - giving Brits a better night's sleep is at the heart of our product."
