⭐Total Score for the DreamCloud Mattress: 9.1/10⭐
Testing Highlights
✅ Pros
- Responsiveness: The DreamClouds foam and coil structure creates a bouncy surface that helps sleepers adjust and move around easily.
- Almost Perfect Alignment: Suffer from back pain? DreamCloud’s spinal alignment will keep your posture even while you sleep to keep that pain away.
- Cooling: Sleeping too hot isn’t fun for anyone; but the DreamCloud has the materials to keep you cool, including an innerspring system and a cooling cashmere cover.
❌ Cons
- Firmness: This bed is a medium-firm mattress, a 6.5/10 on our mattress firmness scale. For sleepers who want the hugging feel of memory foam, check out our WinkBeds Gravity Lux mattress review.
- Motion Isolation: While the DreamCloud excels in responsiveness, couples who toss and turn may feel the motion transferred between each other. The coils don’t absorb motion as well as an all-foam mattress. The DreamCloud Premier isolates motion better between the two.
Responsiveness
A bed with good responsiveness is a bed that will help you get comfortable quickly in each position. The best mattresses for combination sleepers have enough cushioning for pressure relief without sinking.
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.
Pressure Relief
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
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. We noticed that it was as solid as sitting on a chair. Notice how the bed barely bends under our weight.
It got even better when we lay on the edge of the bed. It was even more sturdy than we expected, giving the edge support of DreamCloud an impressive 9.75 out of 10.
Product Details
Where Does It Fall on the Firmness Scale?
The DreamCloud mattress is about a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, which gives it a medium-firm firmness level. This firmness works for all types of sleepers, but especially back and average weight sleepers.
Is It Good for Your Sleeping Position?
We think the DreamCloud mattress is good for all sleep positions; here’s how:
- A quality side sleeper mattress: Because this bed has great pressure relief on the hip and shoulders and offers great alignment, side sleepers should rest pain-free.
- A top mattress for back sleepers: Back sleepers should have virtually no pressure in the lower back area, and the top layers offer foam contouring for good alignment.
- A good option for stomach sleepers: This firmness level works well for lighter stomach sleepers and the pressure-relieving foam keeps the hips from experiencing too much pressure
- A great bed for all sleeping positions: Combination sleepers can get comfy in any position thanks to DreamCloud’s great responsiveness.
Is the DreamCloud Cooling?
DreamCloud is not designed to be a cooling mattress, but its coil construction promotes airflow throughout the mattress. Additionally, the top foam layer is made from gel memory foam infused with cooling beads.

Is It Good for Heavy People?
Although DreamCloud does not have a specific weight limit, we think it will work well for people of most shapes and sizes, including some heavy sleepers. The individually wrapped coils and dense foam layers are enough to keep larger back and side sleepers supported. Stomach sleepers should consider a firmer mattress with less foam cradling.
Bed Frame Compatibility
The DreamCloud is compatible with most bed frames and foundations. These include: box springs, slatted platforms, platform beds, adjustable bases, etc.
DreamCloud Materials
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.
- Mattress Cover: DreamCloud’s mattress cover is made with cashmere and quilted foam. This makes it feel ultra-soft.
- Comfort Layer: Gel memory foam layer that adds comfort and pressure relief.
- Sink-In Layer: This foam layer adds cushioning that allows you to sink in slightly to DreamCloud, but not so much that you’re swallowed.
- Support Layer: This system of pocketed coils adds bounce and responds to your body.
- Base Layer: High-density foam that adds even more support to the mattress

What’s Unboxing Like?
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. The queen size of the DreamCloud weighs 85 lbs. If you’re looking for a more portable mattress in a box, see the best memory foam mattresses.
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.

How Does DreamCloud Compare?
The DreamCloud mattress is classified as a luxury bed in a box hybrid mattress, comparable to Saatva. In comparison to the other DreamCloud 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 original DreamCloud has better alignment and edge support, but the Premier has better motion isolation and pressure relief.
