DreamCloud Mattress Review Overview
Hybrid mattresses are a crowd favorite because of their ability to provide both comfort and support. To be fair, hybrid beds tend to be a little more expensive because they are made to be more durable than the average mattress. The DreamCloud Hybrid mattress is the exception. It’s a luxury hybrid bed at a pretty affordable price point.
DreamCloud offers two different beds — the standard DreamCloud Hybrid and the DreamCloud Premier. This DreamCloud Mattress review will focus on the luxury hybrid model. Below we’ll go through everything you need to know before you buy.
DreamCloud Hybrid mattress overview:
- It’s a medium-firm mattress that has a traditional innerspring feel.
- Hot sleepers will love the breathable cashmere cover that keeps you cool. The layers of coils also contribute to the airflow of the DreamCloud mattress.
- It’s one of the best mattresses for most types of sleepers and body sizes.
- DreamCloud mattresses are CertiPUR-US certified, which is just a fancy way of saying they are safe to sleep on. The foams do not contain ozone depleters or harmful chemicals.
Mattress Design and Construction
The flagship DreamCloud mattress is a memory foam hybrid bed that incorporates five different layers totaling 14” thick.
- Base foam layer — Serves as the foundation for the coils above.
- Individually-wrapped coils — Form the primary support structure for the mattress.
- Support foam — Acts as a transitional layer in the bed.
- Gel memory foam — Provides comfort and pressure relief for sleepers.
- Quilted euro-top — The primary comfort layer for the bed, which includes additional memory foam.
The cover for the Euro-top is made of a combination of polyester, rayon and cashmere. It is quilted, meaning you cannot unzip and remove the cover from the mattress. However, this really isn’t that big of a deal. All it means is that you’ll have to spot clean the cover by hand if it happens to get dirty. There are only a handful of bed-in-a-box mattresses that come with machine washable covers, so this is nothing out of the ordinary.
Mattress Pricing
The base DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress is priced very affordably. It’s in the same price range as the Brooklyn Bedding Signature and Helix mattresses, generally known as excellent values. At 14” thick, we think the base DreamCloud Hybrid mattress deserves that same recognition — it’s a solid value overall. Below is a table that lays out MSRP by size.
| SIZE | PRICE | AVERAGE |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | $699 | $810 |
| Twin XL | $799 | $1,161 |
| Full | $899 | $1,184 |
| Queen | $999 | $1,390 |
| King | $1,199 | $1,751 |
| Cal King | $1,199 | $1,833 |
Is There A Mattress Discount Code?
Don’t let the MSRPs above deter you. You likely won’t end up paying full price come checkout. That’s because DreamCloud regularly offers sales and discounts. In most cases, you can expect to receive a $100-$200 discount on the bed, bringing the queen size down below the $1,000 mark. Sometimes the company will even throw in a gift like sheets or a pillow with your mattress purchase. Also, be sure to check the green discount box on your screen for current promotions.
Mattress Firmness and Feel
How do we rate the firmness?
In our opinion, the DreamCloud mattress rates out near the middle of the firmness scale. In other words, the bed is not too firm, nor is it overly soft. It finds that nice middle point between comfort and support.
The memory foam layers relieve pressure and support your body in all the spots you want it to — hips, shoulders, knees and back. The memory foam shapes around your body and shapes out your body weight, which means fewer pressure points for you. Keep in mind that it’s still a hybrid bed, so you won’t sink in like you would on a true memory foam mattress.
What does it feel like?
Even though the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress has layers of memory foam and soft foam included in the cover, that’s not the overall feel of the bed. When you lay on it, it feels like a hybrid mattress that has coils. You should expect more of a traditional innerspring mattress feel with the DreamCloud bed. With that comes a responsive feel and an easy-to-move sleeping experience.
You can see in the video above that the DreamCloud Premier snaps back into shape fairly quickly after you remove pressure which means combo sleepers should be jumping for joy. This bed makes rotating positions incredibly easy.

Mattress Performance
Temperature regulation
The temperature regulation of the DreamCloud mattress is pretty strong, which is good news for people who tend to sleep hot. The layer of gel-infused memory foam and breathable cover cools the surface of the mattress and helps pull heat away from the sleeper. The fact that it’s a hybrid mattress is also a plus in the temperature department. Air more easily can flow through the core of a hybrid mattress rather than the dense layers of a memory foam bed.
We wouldn’t say the DreamCloud Premier is a warm sleeping bed. Sure, the mattress is soft, and you do nestle into it a little bit, but the pillow top works to counteract the memory foam a little so that you don’t feel like you’re being hugged or engulfed by the top layers. Plus, the coils in the bed allow for a decent amount of airflow. In our eyes, the DreamCloud Premier mattress should be considered temperature neutral.
Motion transfer
We think DreamCloud mattress is pretty good for motion isolation –– around the same for most hybrid mattress options. Thanks to its quilted cover and layers of memory foam, a reasonable amount of motion is absorbed when you lay on it. This is a big deal if you sleep with someone who tosses and turns or gets up a lot through the night.
That said, you’ll still get some motion transfer with the DreamCloud mattress because of its bouncier coil layer. The coils are pocketed to reduce motion transfer, but some are still going to sneak through. Even still, we don’t think it’s noticeable enough for anyone to pass on this bed.
Edge support
Compared to other hybrid beds, the DreamCloud mattress is somewhat lacking in the edge support department. It is still reinforced enough to allow you to use the whole sleeping surface; it just has a little more give than other options out there.
It’s a medium-firm mattress with a coil layer, so the perimeter is pretty sturdy. The DreamCloud bed’s edge is going to be fine for most people. They will be able to sleep and sit on the edge without too much sinkage.
As you can see above, the bed does a competent job of limiting motion transfer, especially for a hybrid or spring mattress. Ultimately, motion transfer is not a reason to pass on the DreamCloud mattress.

Mattress Review Verdict
Overall, we really like the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress. At less than $1,000 for a queen size after discounts, we think it’s the way to go over the DreamCloud Premier model unless you’re a strict back or stomach sleeper that prefers slightly firmer beds.
What we love about the DreamCloud mattress:
- The DreamCloud bed is one of the best affordable hybrid mattresses.
- You get the best of both worlds with hybrid mattresses. The DreamCloud Hybrid balances support and pressure relief for the sleeper.
- The bed sleeps temperature neutral — which is a big plus for people who tend to overheat at night. It doesn’t actively cool, but we really like the airflow of the DreamCloud Hyrbid.
Things to consider:
- Unlike other options, there is only one firmness option for the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress. So if you want flexibility, look elsewhere.
- The mattress itself is pretty heavy.
Yes! The DreamCloud Hybrid mattress is a good bed for most sleeping positions and body types. If you want a responsive mattress that supports your body, then you’ll be happy with the DreamCloud Hybrid.
Generally, most side sleepers will enjoy this bed. However, if you weigh over 230 lbs., you might find that the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress might be a little too firm. For back sleepers who want a responsive bed, then the DreamCloud bed is a good choice.
Hybrid beds tend to last longer than other types of mattresses. The DreamCloud mattress is no exception. DreamCloud offers a lifetime warranty, so they are pretty confident you’ll get a long life out of your mattress.
Thanks to the strong coil base of the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress, you won’t have to worry about your mattress sagging. Of course that will depend on your weight and how you treat your mattress, but we don’t expect it to sag like lower quality memory foam mattresses.
