Casper vs DreamCloud Premier: which mattress is better? Our experts outline whether you should choose the all-foam or hybrid bed based on your preferences.

»

Are you in search of a new mattress and are torn between an all-foam or a hybrid but not sure where to start?

Our Casper vs. DreamCloud Premier comparison will show you the top features of each mattress, along with some suggestions for which shoppers should prefer each one. Casper’s all-foam was created by a longstanding online company who has cemented their place in the sleep industry. The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid was built to offer a high-end experience at an affordable price and is one of the first luxury bed-in-a-box options.

Comparing Firmness, Support & Feel

Firmness

It can be difficult to determine how a mattress should feel when shopping online. Our comfort scale should give you an idea of what laying on each bed should feel like. A score of 1 on this scale should feel very soft, while a score of 10 is a very firm mattress feel.

Both brands feature a medium score, with the DreamCloud Premier coming in a hair softer. This should allow either mattress to be fairly versatile, working for most position preferences.

Support

Support is a key component in a mattress because it helps ensure that the sleeper’s spine remains in a neutral alignment, which is critical for preventing back pain.

The Casper should offer firmer support under the hips with softer sinkage in the shoulder and leg areas. The DreamCloud Premier’s design does not include zoning, but the individually compressed coils may give a more tailored feel.

Feel

The DreamCloud Premier’s cover feels durable and lying on the bed, you should experience sufficient softness as the Euro top hugs your body. This mattress has a more “in-the-bed” feel to it.

The top of the Casper feels cool and soft, and the foams are responsive, quickly regaining their shape after you get up. The top comfort foam should provide sinkage while the second foam unit conforms to your body.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Both the Casper and DreamCloud Premier mattresses should offer some bounce, though you won’t get as much from these products as you would with other beds, such as latex or traditional spring mattress models. Bounce is valuable because it can aid combination sleepers in repositioning.

Sleepers who like to sleep deeper in their bed may prefer the hug of DreamCloud Premier to Casper. However, if mobility is a key concern for you, the hybrid’s coils might slightly edge out the all-foam, as they are likely to provide higher amounts of bounce overall.

Comparing Motion Transfer

Being an all-foam construction, Casper should dampen most energy, minimizing motion transfer. The coils inside the DreamCloud Premier may allow more vibrations to travel through the bed, resulting in moderate motion transfer. That being said, the coils are pocketed, which helps curb motion transfer, so any motion transfer won’t be at the level you see with an innerspring bed with interconnected coils.

Either mattress should allow most shoppers to sleep comfortably without too many disruptions from their partner’s movements. Particularly light or sensitive sleepers should consider Casper, however, as it may offer more motion control overall.

Comparing Cooling

Casper’s proprietary foams are designed to combat overheating by promoting airflow so heat may travel away from the sleeper. The Casper Original uses AirScape™ foam to help with temperature regulation, and for an all-foam design, the bed rates fairly well for cooling.

The DreamCloud Premier has an advantage in that it has coils, which naturally promote cooling by providing extra airflow throughout the bed’s center. However, the mattress doesn’t have any gel in its memory foam layer, which can compromise cooling in a mattress, as this bed doesn’t rate as well as other hybrids in this category.

Between the two, we think hot sleepers could feel more comfortable on the Casper.

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)

Casper Construction

The Casper is a bed-in-a-box product, which means it’s compressed and put into a box when it’s shipped to your home. This mattress has an 11-inch profile, and the bed’s cover is made of durable polyester fabric. Additionally, the foams in this mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified, which means they meet strict health and safety standards.

• The first foam unit is a perforated proprietary foam called AirScape™, which gives the mattress some bounce and breathability to keep the bed from becoming too warm.
• The second foam layer is 2 inches of Zoned Support™, a firmer transition foam. This unit is designed to offer soft compression under the shoulders and knees and firmer support under the hips to prevent too much sinkage.
• The base layer contains 5 inches of dense foam that provides durability and support, while also serving as a general foundation for the mattress.

DreamCloud Premier Construction

The DreamCloud Premier’s cover is a Cashmere blend that is quilted to two layers of foam, forming the bed’s plush Euro top. This mattress has five layers and is 14 inches high.

• The Euro Top Cradle Layer sits right under the cover. This 1-inch thick memory foam should provide a gentle cradle.
• The Euro Top Support Layer is an inch of soft foam. This layer should provide support below the memory foam along with added plushness.
• The Dynamic Transition Layer is 2.5 inches thick. This foam helps keep the sleeper supported and eases them into the coil unit.
• The coil unit is 8.5 inches thick and should provide support across the entire bed. These coils also help provide airflow and are pocketed to limit motion transfer.
• The base is a 1-inch foam that delivers extra support and stability at the bottom.
• The Shift-Resistant Lower Cover helps hold the mattress in place.
