Nest Bedding Review: Discovering The Love Bed
Update: The Love Bed has officially been retired. Nest Bedding now offers the Love and Sleep Mattress, providing even greater value! Discover it here.
The Love Bed is a notable addition to the Nest Bedding lineup. Having received one as a complimentary review sample, I was initially skeptical, thinking the name might be more of a gimmick than a guarantee of quality. However, after my first night on this mattress, it quickly climbed to the top of my recommended list. Several standout features set this mattress apart from the crowded online bed-in-a-box market, making it an excellent choice for those desiring a softer, contouring feel reminiscent of traditional coil mattresses.
A Brief History of Nest Bedding
Nest Bedding, founded by industry veteran Joe Alexander, has built a reputation for offering organic, natural, and non-toxic bedding products. With over 15 years of experience, including advising major brands like Tuft & Needle, Joe aims to deliver quality mattresses at fair prices rather than seeking quick profits. Their goal is to create bedding solutions that resonate with the needs of a new generation of buyers.
Nest Bedding has storefronts in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but online engagement has helped them capture attention in a marketplace dominated by larger brands. While many of these big names garner the most interest, there are hidden gems like Nest Bedding that offer incredible value and features that you won’t find elsewhere. Based on my experience with the Love Bed and a glimpse into their additional products, it’s clear that we’ll be hearing more from Nest Bedding in the future.
The Love Bed: Comfort Meets Value
The Love Bed is marketed as an 11-inch thick mattress, but thanks to its plush top layer, it effectively measures closer to 12 inches. Impressively, many competitors fail to meet their height claims, making this feature standout. When it comes to cost, the Love Bed represents outstanding value:
– Twin: $599
– Twin XL: $649
– Full: $699
– Queen: $799
– King: $899
– California King: $899
Customers can easily order online, choosing between two firmness levels: Medium and Luxury Firm. Unlike many other mattress startups that promote a one-size-fits-all model, Nest Bedding breaks from tradition by offering real customization.
I reviewed the medium firmness option, which strikes an excellent balance of support and comfort, allowing for a cool and restful night’s sleep.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I anticipated some off-gassing with this mattress, a common phenomenon in many bed-in-a-box models. To my delight, there was no noticeable odor upon unboxing. Of all the mattresses I’ve reviewed, this one emerged with the cleanest arrival, enhancing my initial experience.
Construction and Features
The Love Bed features CertiPUR-US certified foams, ensuring you purchase a product that’s both safe and environmentally friendly. Its construction promotes quick recovery and a cooling effect, creating a pleasurable sleeping experience that gently hugs your body.
Bounce and Motion Transfer
With the inclusion of energex foam, the Love Bed boasts a delightful bounce, yet it excels in minimizing motion transfer. This means that if you share your bed, you won’t be disturbed by your partner’s movements. It provides just the right amount of “sink,” allowing you to melt into the mattress without feeling trapped. The unique pillow-top texture is the first I’ve encountered in a bed-in-a-box mattress, making it a notable feature.
Overall Experience
Throughout the night, I experienced restful sleep. The Love Bed cradles your pressure points without deforming under weight, thanks to its firm foam base beneath the latex layer. Additionally, the bamboo fabric cover is more elastic than traditional cotton, enhancing both softness and flexibility.
While I’ve also tested Nest Bedding’s premium offering, the Alexander Signature Select, the primary differences lie in thickness and motion transfer. The Alexander offers slightly less bounce and is a bit softer at the same firmness levels. If you desire more substantial support and pressure relief, you might prefer the Alexander.
Conclusion: Why You Should Consider the Love Bed
Nest Bedding provides a generous 100-day money-back guarantee, reducing the risk of your purchase. At $799 for a queen size, this investment comes with the assurance of quality, backed by a company committed to integrity and innovation.
The Love Bed isn’t just a bed; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. Nest Bedding is continuously evolving, ensuring that their mattresses meet the needs of discerning consumers.

I just LOVE the “Love Bed”.
I have always had a conventional coil spring mattress. And having had back surgery I prefer a mattress that is not too soft nor too firm. So the mattress we got was the “medium”.
When I first sat on the edge of the mattress, it felt way too soft as my butt sank into it. I was afraid I would not like it at all.
But when I stretched out and laid on the mattress I was amazed at how supportive it was. It cradled me without being neither harshly firm nor mushy soft. Like the baby bear’s bed, “it was just right”.
The other thing I really like about this mattress is that with my fiancee in bed beside me, we are both equally supported. The presence of my fiancee and her movement does not disturb my sleep. And her presence does not cause the mattress to have a local sag such that I roll toward her and she roll toward me. I really hate mattresses where one “rolls down hill” to the partner and one feels like you are sleeping in a valley.
And as the reviewer mentioned, there was no “new rubber” odor.
I highly recommend this mattress.
I was wondering if either the Love bed or the Bestmattressever by Brooklyn bedding slept hot. Thank you for you help
Both dissipate heat very well although the Love Bed has an advantage since it has a bamboo covering that will wick away moisture and heat very efficiently.
Neither sleep hot but the Love Bed sleeps cooler than Bestmattressever.
Hi there! Thanks for your question! Both the Love Bed and Bestmattressever are designed with materials that promote breathability, which helps keep you cool while you sleep. However, individual experiences can vary based on factors like your room temperature and personal preferences. Many customers have reported that both mattresses do a great job at managing heat. If you’re particularly sensitive to sleeping hot, it might be worth considering some breathable bedding or mattress protectors as well. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Is the love bed still your favorite? How does it compare with yogabed?
Hi there! Thanks for reading my review and leaving a comment! Yes, the Love Bed is still one of my favorites for its incredible comfort and support.
When comparing it to the Yogabed, I’d say the Love Bed has a plush feel that really cradles you, while the Yogabed offers a bit more firmness without sacrificing comfort. It really depends on your personal preference—if you like a softer surface, the Love Bed might be more your style, but if you prefer something a little firmer, the Yogabed could be the better option.
Have you tried either of them yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
The Love Bed is still up there in the rankings of favorite beds but now the Alexander Signature Select is at the top. It has less bounce which I prefer.
Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear that the Alexander Signature Select is now your top choice. Its comfort and reduced bounce really make it appealing for many people. It’s always interesting to see how preferences shift based on personal comfort! Have you noticed any other features you particularly love about the Alexander? We’d love to hear more about your experience!
The Love Bed will be slightly firmer than the Leesa. However even though the Love Bed has bounce to it it has less motion transfer. Between the two I think they both sleep equally cool. If you want to get a comparable firmness to a Leesa go with a soft love bed.
Thanks!! Even without the memory foam, is the Love Bed as supportive as the Leesa? And would you recommend the Love Bed over the Leesa ( and why?).. Sorry for the barrage of questions..:)
Also how does the love bed compare to brooklyn bedding’s #bestmattressever ? In terms of comfort and support?
Thank you for your question! Both the Nest Bedding Love Bed and Brooklyn Bedding’s #BestMattressEver have great features, but they cater to different preferences.
The Love Bed is known for its plush comfort and adaptability, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy a softer feel without sacrificing support. On the other hand, the #BestMattressEver offers a balanced firmness that provides excellent support while still being comfortable.
Ultimately, it depends on your sleeping style and what you prioritize in a mattress. If you like a cozy, cloud-like experience, the Love Bed might be your best bet. If you prefer something more supportive with a medium feel, you might lean toward the Brooklyn Bedding option. I hope this helps in your comparison! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Great website and reviews! I was originally leaning towards T&N just because of budget but now reading your website I am leaning towards either Love Bed or Brooklyn Bed. However, I need your inputs:
– Male in my late 30’s
– Height 5’6″; Weight 135lbs
– Mostly back-sleeper with occasional side
– Previous mattress was a Sealy firm with cushion top which I purchased in 2004. Was okay.
– I do not prefer soft mattresses where I sink.
– Prefer no gas/chemicals.
Thanks in advance!
Go with a soft firmness Alexander signature select. It’s AMAZING.
We’ve had our king size Love Bed for about two weeks and we love it! Very comfy and not too hard for very different sized people. One thing to note, if you do send a photo for the free pillow it is NOT a Nest pillow. It is microfiber w/gel and it is free, but it is not the nice Nest pillow that we thought we were getting. 🙁
Does anyone have experience between Winkbed and Love Bed? We’re debating between the two and having a hard time deciding. As a back and side sleeper, I prefer a firmer mattress, as does my fiancé. The Love Bed appears firmer than the Winkbed…. but not sure without testing them out. Also there is a significant size difference. Wink Bed is 4″ higher and since we are using a platform, we appreciate that height difference. What to do! Any advice?
The WinkBed is about the same level of firmness as a “firm” Lovebed.
Hi there!
Thanks for your comment! It sounds like you’re really putting thought into this decision, which is great! Since both WinkBed and Love Bed offer unique benefits, here are a few points to consider:
1. **Firmness Preferences**: Since you and your fiancé prefer a firmer mattress, the Love Bed might fit that preference well, but WinkBed does offer different firmness options. If possible, checking their specific firmness ratings can help you gauge which one might be more suitable for your needs.
2. **Height Considerations**: With the WinkBed being 4″ taller, it sounds like it could complement your platform nicely! Remember that height can also affect how easy it is to get in and out of bed, so it’s good to weigh that aspect too.
3. **Testing Options**: If you have the opportunity, visiting a local showroom or store that carries these brands might help. Even lying down for a few minutes can give you a better feel.
4. **Sleep Style**: Since you’re a back and side sleeper, consider how each mattress supports different sleeping positions. A mattress that relieves pressure on the shoulders and hips will be crucial for side sleeping.
Ultimately, it comes down to your personal comfort preferences! (Incomplete: max_output_tokens)
I am choosing between the Leesa or the Love Bed and wonder which is better for stomach sleepers? Will go with firm also on the Love Bed for that reason.
Thank you, Susan
The Love bed will give you a bit more support than the Leesa, even at the medium firmness level.
Hi Susan!
Thanks for your comment! Both Leesa and Love Bed have great features for comfort, but when it comes to stomach sleepers, the firmness level is crucial. Generally, a firmer bed can help maintain a neutral spine alignment and prevent sinking, which is important for stomach sleeping.
The Love Bed in the firm option is designed to provide that support you’re looking for, while the Leesa tends to have a medium-firm feel that can still work, but might not be as ideal for stomach sleepers depending on personal preference.
Overall, if you’re leaning towards a firm mattress for better support, the Love Bed could be the better choice for your needs. I hope this helps, and happy mattress hunting!
Best,
[Your Name]
Thank you, but I am pretty sure I am going with the Alexander now after reading what is out there. Still not sure on whether to get medium or firm. What would you recommend for the Alexander for a stomach sleeper? Also, I am 5’6 and weigh 145 lbs.
The Medium firm will work well.
Any recommendations for a 300lb side sleeper, and a 160lb stomach/side sleeper? She likes firm, I like slightly softer. We’ve tried the PLB “worlds best bed” and both like it, but not the price tag…
Try the Alexander medium firm. It will fee soft for you and still give support to your spouse.
I’m 5’6, 220 lbs, stomach sleeper with a bad back and hip. (yay sports injury!) I’m moving up to my first Queen. I tend to like firm but after reading your reviews, would I do better in Firm or Medium? And could I go wrong with the Love versus the Alexander? I find the pricing a little daunting. I also have a big dog who sleeps in the bed if that adds any information.
THANKS!
Get the medium love bed. It is firmer than the Alexander at the same level of firmness so would give you that extra bit of support you need, especially for a stomach sleeper.
Thanks so much!
I got the love bed on your recommendation and absolutely love it. I just cant figure out how to get the twitter deal for the pillow however.
William, just tweet a picture with the bear you received with your Love Bed and Nest Bedding will reach out to you to send the pillow.
