Edge Support

If you like taking advantage of every square inch of your mattress or use your bed as a stool, then you understand how important edge support is. The DreamCloud earned a perfect 10/10, making this a great option for couples who share the bed at night. As an all-foam mattress, the Tuft & Needle performed pretty average in this category since it didn’t have any reinforcement on the perimeter.

Pressure Relief

Another area where the DreamCloud outperformed the Tuft & Needle was in our pressure relief evaluation. The Tuft & Needle had a lot of pressure buildup in the shoulder area when our testers laid on their sides. If you’re a side sleeper or someone with body aches, the DreamCloud is the better option for you.

Spine Alignment

Both the DreamCloud and Tuft & Needle do a great job of keeping your spine in a neutral position. This is important for those with back pain since it helps you get the support you need at night.

Verdict: Which Mattress Wins?

Learn how the DreamCloud Original and Tuft & Needle Original accommodate different sleeping positions, sleep environments, budgets, and how the companies perform with customer service.

Sleeping Position

One of the best measures of responsiveness in a mattress is its firmness. The DreamCloud Original and Tuft & Needle Original scored between 6-6.5/10 on the firmness scale, making them excellent choices for those who sleep in any sleeping position.

Sleep Environment

The DreamCloud Original is an exceptionally cool mattress thanks to its hybrid design,  allowing hot sleepers to find relief from the coiled spring design and comfort from the foam comfort layers. Since it’s made almost exclusively of memory foam, the Tuft & Needle Original provides immense comfort but falls behind the DreamCloud in cooling.

Budget

You can save up to $400 by choosing Tuft & Needle over DreamCloud, making it the far better choice for those shopping on a tight budget.

Customer Service

DreamCloud and Tuft & Needle perform well with customer service, with Tuft & Needle scoring a perfect 10/10 and DreamCloud scoring slightly lower at an 8/10. This means that no matter which mattress you end up choosing, you can count on reliable customer service that will help you through any issues.
