To get a good idea of how DreamCloud measures up against other mattresses, we took it to our mattress lab and put it to the test.

Raise your hand if you’re prone to tossing and turning: this is the mattress feature you want to look out for. A bed with good responsiveness is a bed that will help you get comfortable quickly in each position.
As we shifted positions in the DreamCloud, this bed quickly accommodated each movement. The only thing keeping it from that perfect score of a 10/10 was that it took a little longer to get comfortable on our stomachs in comparison to the other sleep positions.
Not only is DreamCloud responsive, but it eases the pressure from key areas that are prone to aches and pains for people of all sizes. Don’t believe us? Check out the pressure map! The cool colors (your blues and greens) mean little to no pressure. The warm colors (your yellows and reds) mean normal to lots of pressure.
Back sleepers see virtually no pressure whatsoever, while side sleepers see minimal pressure in the hips and shoulders. This is pretty ideal if you suffer from back or hip pain.
Edge support is one of those mattress factors that you don’t notice you need until you meet a bed without it, especially if you consistently sit on the edge of your bed. Our edge support test happens in two parts: sitting and lying.
In the sitting test, we took a seat on the end of the DreamCloud and put on a pair of shoes. I noticed that it was as solid as sitting on a chair. Notice how the bed barely bends under my weight.
It got even better when we lay on the edge of the bed. It was even more sturdy than I thought was possible, giving the edge support of DreamCloud an impressive 9.75 out of 10.
We think the DreamCloud mattress is good for all sleep positions; here’s how:
DreamCloud is not a specific cooling mattress, but it does a good job at keeping you from overheating.The top foam layer is made from gel memory foam infused with cooling beads. The innerspring pocket coils allow for airflow through the bed, letting your body heat escape and keeping you from sleeping in it.
Although DreamCloud does not have a specific weight limit, we think it will work well for people of most shapes and sizes, including heavy sleepers. The individually wrapped coils and dense foam layers are enough to keep you supported, while lightweight sleepers can comfortably sleep on the contouring surface.
The DreamCloud is compatible with most bed frames and foundations. These include: box springs, slatted platforms, platform beds, adjustable bases, etc. Be sure to double check the warranty for acceptable foundations before you buy, so you don’t have to worry about voiding it.
This luxury mattress is constructed with a combination of layers of foam and a system of micro coils. All foams used in DreamCloud are CertiPUR-US Certified, meaning they should be free of harmful chemicals and have reduced off-gassing effects.

The DreamCloud arrives at your door in a tall, rectangular box. Before you unbox it, move your mattress to the room you’d like to place it in. It took us about a minute and a half to completely unbox the DreamCloud. It was very heavy, so we recommend doing it with a partner.
There was a faint off-gassing smell that was barely noticeable, so there is no need to wait a long time before putting sheets on your new mattress.

The DreamCloud ships free and will arrive at your door anytime between 18 and 21 business days. There will be a shipping fee of $150 if you live in Alaska or Hawaii. DreamCloud does offer white glove delivery service, setup, and mattress removal for an additional fee of $149.
DreamCloud offers one of the best trial periods we’ve seen in the online mattress space: an entire year long. This trial starts 30 days after your mattress has been delivered (this accounts for the break-in time for your mattress) and lasts for 365 nights. During this time, see if you are enjoying your DreamCloud. Is it everything you wanted? If it is, great! If it isn’t you can return your bed for a full refund and keep on mattress shopping.
Just like the sleep trial period, DreamCloud’s warranty is about as good as it gets—a lifetime. If at any point your mattress is damaged from manufacturing issues or normal use, they will replace your mattress. This is free for the first 10 years, and then there is a fee after that. Contact customer service to file a claim.
The customer service team is available on weekdays between 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. (PST). Here’s how you can chat with DreamCloud’s customer service:
If you decide to return or exchange your mattress, it must be within your sleep trial period. You just have to contact their customer service team and have them take you through the process. They will have someone remove your mattress and then you will get a full refund.

It’s time to weigh your pros and cons to see if you should buy the DreamCloud mattress. We recommend this bed to all sleep positions (especially back sleepers) and all body shapes. We also think it would be good for people with back, hip, or shoulder pain and people that toss and turn at night (even couples!).
But if you’re on a budget, or you’re looking for a bed you can sink into at night rather than on top of, we recommend the Layla mattress. It runs for under $1000 for a queen and there is dual-sided firmness to meet your comfort needs.
The DreamCloud mattress is classified as a luxury bed in a box hybrid mattress, comparable to Saatva. In comparison to the other DC model, the DreamCloud Premier, DreamCloud is the original mattress.
The DreamCloud Premier adds a euro top to the original DreamCloud mattress for extra cushion and softening. The OG DC has better alignment and edge support, but the Premier has better motion isolation and pressure relief.
