DreamCloud Mattress Review and Prices 2024 – Expert Tested

Pressure Relief

4/5

This DreamCloud mattress does a good job of providing pressure relief through memory foam. Memory foam is one of the best materials for this because of its ability to conform to the sleeper’s body for a comfortable feel. DreamCloud’s use of memory foam in their mattresses should alleviate problematic pressure points. I felt nicely supported in the hips and did not feel any pressure building up in this area.

Is the DreamCloud Mattress Good for Pain Relief?

The bed can help ease pain resulting from pressure buildup by preventing any further pressure from forming in the back, hips, and shoulders. However, I’d say its performance depends on your preferred sleeping position and body weight.

Back Pain

The DreamCloud could help alleviate back pain by contouring the body without taking away from the support. The bed has contouring foam layers that should help prevent pressure build-up and lower back pain, while the coil unit supports the body and keeps the spine in a healthy posture. As I pointed out in the video, when it comes to spine alignment, this bed should keep you from sinking into uncomfortable angles and entering the danger zone for back pain.

Hip Pain

People with hip pain will likely benefit from a bed that can keep their body aligned while providing a cushion to alleviate pressure on the hips. I think DreamCloud should provide this through its supportive coil unit and softer foams. That being said, you should also make sure it’s the right mattress for your sleep position and body type, as these are equally important for navigating pain.

Shoulder Pain

Your shoulders are among the most sensitive pressure points that need cradling to prevent you from waking up in pain. I found that the plushness of this DreamCloud mattress should help avoid shoulder pain by cushioning the shoulders and other nearby pressure points. That being said, I don’t think it will be soft enough for strict side sleepers with shoulder pain.

Support

5/5

The DreamCloud has a 7-layer construction with a 6.5 firmness rating that should fit side sleepers the most, although some back sleepers may also like how it feels. The bed has an 8.5-inch coil unit sitting underneath three foam layers, all of which support the body in proper alignment. The coils are individually wrapped, which allows them to move individually, helping with zoned support in the areas you need it the most.

The idea behind the design is to allow the bed to adapt to your curves and movements. However, I think the level of support you can get from this DreamCloud depends on your weight and preferred sleeping position.

Motion Isolation

4.25/5

Motion transfer can be a problem for couples and everyone else sharing a bed, especially if the other person’s sleeping habits are different than yours. Luckily, the DreamCloud bed has multiple foam layers on top of the coil unit, helping to absorb the movement, so I don’t think you would feel as much of your partner’s tossing and turning.
The coils are also individually wrapped to further enhance motion isolation. Despite this bed’s responsive feel, our review team found that DreamCloud did a satisfactory job of minimizing motion transfer. I found this bed to be bouncy and responsive, but your partner’s movements shouldn’t bother you too much during the night.

Temperature Regulation / Cooling

4/5

Bounce

4/5

This bed has coils that make it springy and bouncy enough for easier repositioning. This also helps make it easy to get in and out of bed. However, even with the bounce, the bed still does a good job of isolating motion, so you shouldn’t worry if motion isolation is also important to you.

Edge Support

3/5

Although this is a hybrid, I don’t think it has such good edge support. You may feel not supported enough on the perimeter, although this largely depends on your body weight. I tested this by lying and sitting at the edge, and although I didn’t feel like rolling off the mattress, I could feel the lack of support.

Performance for Couples

4/5

Couples should like the motion isolation and responsiveness this DreamCloud provides. However, the downside is that I found the edges aren’t as strong as you might expect with a hybrid model. Therefore, couples sharing a bed who also like to spread out may consider this a drawback.

Preference-Based Features

Pillow Top

This hybrid has a cashmere blend cover stitched with a cloud pattern that adds to its overall luxurious feel. The cover is quilted to a contouring foam for added plushness and comfort in the first layers.

Adjustable Base Compatible

This DreamCloud mattress is adjustable base compatible, but the company suggests you pair it with their DreamCloud Adjustable Bed Frame for best performance.

Construction: What’s Inside the DreamCloud Original?

This 12-inch mattress features a luxurious cover and layers that promote comfort, cooling, and breathability. The cover has durable stitching and a cloud pattern that I think added to the bed’s luxurious feel.

• Below the cover is a layer of soft foam stitched into the cover. This makes the mattress plush right at the start of the construction.
• Going deeper, the second layer is made of memory foam with gel infusions that help cool the entire mattress. This layer contours the curves and provides pressure relief for the hips, shoulders, and neck.
• Next is the dynamic transition layer that consists of standard foam. This foam helps ease the transition to the coil unit underneath, serving as the first support layer under the softer foams.
• The main support layer is made from steel coils that are individually wrapped for better motion isolation. I think the coils support the body in different positions while also promoting airflow for a cooler sleep environment.
• Next is the stability layer made from a standard foam, acting as the main support for all the layers above.
• The base is a shift-resistant lower cover that helps prevent the bed from sliding on the foundation. The cover has four handles to help you move the mattress around. This is a nice touch as I found it makes it easy to move the mattress.

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

The DreamCloud is compressed, rolled, and packed into a box for easy shipping and handling. I think this type of packing makes it easier to carry it from your doorstep to your bedroom since it’s not as bulky. However, DreamCloud is 12 inches tall, and larger sizes can be a bit too heavy to move around without someone helping you.

When it comes to off-gassing, it’s important to allow your mattress time to vent in a well-ventilated room. The mattress takes about 72 hours to decompress, and the new mattress smell should be gone by then as well. Off-gassing is common in mattresses that come in a box, and DreamCloud is no exception.
