The DreamCloud company was founded with a very ambitious agenda. Their goal is to build a high quality, luxury mattress that everyone can afford. We set out to see if they’ve done it.
DreamCloud offered us an opportunity to try their mattress and see for ourselves. The bed was provided at no cost. The only expectation was that we would give the mattress an honest evaluation. We’ll take you step by step through our complete DreamCloud experience.
Construction
Eight Dream Filled Layers
Compared to other online options the DreamCloud may catch you off guard with it’s tall 15″ profile. Its clean tailored lines look more like a high end retail mattress than a bed in the box offering. Top to bottom, only quality materials are used to create DreamClouds unique comfort experience.
Layer #1 TRUETUFTED Cashmere Top
The first thing we noticed was the rich quality appearance and soft hand of DreamCloud’s cover. This Cashmere blend is luxurious and rare in today’s market. It’s also quite expensive and typically only found in high end luxury mattresses. Cashmere is sheared from goats, rather than sheep, and has unique characteristics. Compared to wool harvested from sheep, it is softer, with lofty comforting fibers. It’s also extremely breathable and bedbug resistant. A cashmere blend is as durable as traditional wool; but It can also be more difficult to clean.
DreamCloud offers a one time free cleaning of your cover after 1 year. Also, one time full “like new” full reconditioning of your cover is also offered after the first 5 years. However, the use of a quality mattress protector should alleviate most concerns you may have about your cover.
Layer #2 Gel Infused Memory foam
Designed for contouring and cooling, Gel Memory foam offers nice transitional pressure relief.
Layer #3 Super Soft Quilted Memory foam
This additional foam layer adds support and comfort.
Layer #4 Natural Latex
Latex provides bounce and resiliency. It creates more of a floating sensation.
Layer #5 Dream Plush Supporting Memory foam
This high density foam offers additional contouring.
Layer # 6 Dream Plush Supporting Memory foam
Denser foam transitions nicely to the support coils; contributing to proper alignment.
Layer #7 Patent Pending “BESTREST” coils
Foam encased, 5 zone micro-coils provide additional support and comfort. They also allow for greater airflow and cooling.
Layer #8 High Density, Super Soft Memory Foam
This layer gives additional support comfort and spinal alignment.

DreamCloud has a feel we would best classify as a medium firm. The mattress offers gentle contouring but has a buoyant quality that creates a floating sensation. It’s a feel that appeals to the widest variety of comfort preferences; with most back, side and stomach sleepers falling into this range. It’s also a nice median feel for couples who have differences in comfort preference.
Back sleepers will like…
While testing the DreamCloud mattress, we found it to be quite comfortable while on our backs. Firm enough to provide proper spinal alignment, but soft enough to alleviate pressure on the joints. DreamCloud’s layered comfort system of memory foam, latex and micro-coils disperse your weight evenly. Most back sleepers should appreciate this mattress’s responsive support.
Stomach sleepers will like…
We were surprised how comfortable this mattress was while on our stomachs. For those who spend a good portion of their nights on their stomach, DreamCloud may be for you. The mattress is contouring but still quite resilient. this allows for pressure relief without your lumbar sinking too low while in this position.
Side sleepers will like…
How you interpret comfort while sleeping on your side will vary depending on your body type and personal preference. DreamCloud has a universal mid range comfort feel that will appeal to the majority of sleepers. DreamCloud creates a sensation of sleeping on the mattress; rather than in it. It’s a great quality for those who don’t like the sink-in feel of most memory foam beds. If you are a side sleeper who prefers more body hug and softness, this mattress may not be for you.
DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Great Value: DreamCloud is 1/2 the price of comparable beds you'd find in a retail environment.
- Sleeps Cool: Gel foam memory foam and natural latex sleep cool and comfortable. Micro-coils allow for additional air flow and breath-ability.
- Low Motion Transfer: Our evaluation found little to no motion detection. This is a great asset for couples.
- Pressure Relief: For those seeking that mid range firmness level. DreamCloud offers the ideal blend of support and conformity.
- Everlong Warranty and 365 Night Comfort Guarantee
- No Off Gassing: Materials used may have a mild scent when mattress is first unpacked. However, any odors quickly dissipate and present no danger. DreamCloud is CertiPUR certified to not release toxic chemicals into the air.
Cons:
- Only One Firmness Option: The DreamCloud mattress will accommodate most but not all comfort preferences. It may be too firm for those seeking an ultra plush super soft bed.
- Limited Company History: In and of itself, this is not a bad thing. It simply means there is not a lot of history to draw from. Once DreamCloud establishes a longer track record, the company's great warranties will be even more meaningful.
Who Will Like This Mattress
Couples who want limited motion transfer will appreciate the lack of motion detection. It assures that if one of you is having a restless night or has an early appointment your movements don’t have to disturb your sleep partner.
Couples who are far apart in comfort preference can find a happy medium with the DreamCloud mattress. This mattress has nice balanced feel that strikes a chord with most back, side and stomach sleepers.
People who sleep hot will benefit from the cooling characteristics of DreamCloud.
Sleepers looking for a great value can purchase a true luxury mattress priced well below comparable retail beds.
Those looking for a great warranty and comfort guarantee will like DreamCloud’s promise. The 365 day comfort trial and Everlong warranty gives shoppers great peace of mind.
If you like to lay on a mattress not in it you will like DreamCloud. This mattress creates a floating sensation. This differs greatly from most memory foam beds that create a sink in feeling.
Who Will Not Like This Mattress
Those seeking an ultra plush, super soft feel will probably want a different mattress. DreamCloud has more than adequate pressure relief for most but may be a bit too firm for sleepers seeking deep body hug and conformity. Petite individuals with lesser body mass may not appreciate as much contouring and pressure relief. While DreamCloud has a comfortable feel that will appeal to most, no single mattress is right for everyone.
If you like the feel of a traditional memory foam mattress, DreamCloud will sleep noticeably different. Although this mattress has a considerable amount of memory foam, it also has latex and micro-coils that ad extra bounce and buoyancy. It comes down to a personal comfort preference.
If you are sensitive to odors you may not appreciate the initial scents that are present until this mattress airs out. Although not unpleasant, we did notice a mild odor that was apparent once the seal was broken on the packaging. The scent dissipated completely within 24 hours. It’s important to note that DreamCloud is CertiPUR certified and releases no toxic chemicals into the air. Most of this initial scent can be attributed to the presence of natural materials like cashmere and natural latex. These scents will fade quickly and present no danger. If possible, we recommend leaving the linens off the bed initially and opening the window a crack for faster dispersion if the scent persists. Rest assured, their presence will pass and presents no danger whatsoever.

Your DreamCloud mattress will rapidly expand once the plastic seal has been broken. You can then remove the remaining covering and watch your new mattress take shape.
Allow for a good hour or two for the process to complete. There are some dense quality materials that require this time to fully expand.
Note: If you are taking delivery in the winter time in a northern climate, your DreamCloud mattress may take some time to warm and soften. All foams, (memory foam in particular) need to adjust to room temperature when it comes off of a cold truck. It was 20 degrees on the day of our delivery and the difference was discernible after a few hours.
