In the event you’re in search of a pleasant mattress, however you are on a price range, the flagship DreamCloud is likely to be considered one of your finest choices. It is a extra luxurious mattress that has an accommodating really feel and firmness degree. Because the queen measurement is often out there for effectively beneath $1,000, it is easy to see why so many sleepers get pleasure from it.

For years, the DreamCloud mattress was provided solely as a hybrid mattress, forcing followers of all-foam mattresses to look elsewhere. Nevertheless, the model lately put out all-foam variations of its three beds, providing a selection between two completely different constructions. With that design change comes a couple of extra issues. On this assessment, I will go over every thing you must find out about this new mattress, together with who it’ll work finest for.

Watch CNET mattress knowledgeable JD Christison assessment the DreamCloud all-foam mattress.

First impressions

Just like the hybrid mannequin, our all-foam DreamCloud mattress arrived roll-packed in plastic, compressed tightly inside a field. We dragged it inside, opened it up and began ripping off all of the plastic packaging. Since it is a foam mattress, I observed it was significantly lighter than the hybrid model, however I nonetheless requested a buddy to assist me unbox it, because it makes the method simpler — and extra enjoyable.

Unboxing a bed-in-a-box is all the time fairly cool. It is loopy to suppose these corporations can match a complete mattress inside a field that appears like it could comprise a mini fridge. As our scissors ripped across the plastic, the mattress began to inflate quickly. We did discover that it did not inflate as quick because the hybrid mannequin. All-foam beds sometimes want a bit extra time to get to their correct type than hybrid ones, so we gave it an evening to off-gas and absolutely develop.

Within the morning, we got here again, and it was mattress testing time. At first look, the mattress appeared noticeably thinner than the hybrid model. There is a peak distinction of about 2 inches between the 2. After urgent into the mattress to check responsiveness, I instantly noticed it is a lot slower to reply — a telltale signal of reminiscence foam.

This was additional clarified after I hopped on the mattress. It provided way more of a body-conforming, sink-in high quality than the hybrid mannequin, which has extra of a basic pillow-top really feel. The hybrid DreamCloud can be round a medium firmness, whereas this rendition is a lot firmer than that. My important takeaway was that it is a tremendous agency mattress which may not be proper for everybody. Take a look at our video assessment beneath.

DreamCloud mattress firmness and really feel

What does DreamCloud really feel like?

The all-foam DreamCloud has a reminiscence foam really feel, particularly when put next with the hybrid mannequin. Because it makes use of a layer of gel reminiscence foam for its important consolation layer close to the highest, you get a slower-to-respond mattress that has some body-conforming, sink-in qualities. This reminiscence foam really feel is not as dense as a Nectar or Tempur-Pedic mattress, neither is it as responsive as a Layla or Bear. It presents a simple reminiscence foam really feel that loads of sleepers love.

That mentioned, reminiscence foam is not proper for everybody. I’m a mixture sleeper who likes to shift positions at evening, and I discover reminiscence foam to be somewhat restrictive. It takes time to reply, which may trigger you to really feel caught when attempting to maneuver round. In the event you’re the kind of sleeper who stays in a single important sleeping place all through the evening, you will probably benefit from the really feel that reminiscence foam offers.

How agency is the DreamCloud mattress?

This mattress is far firmer than the hybrid model and is between medium-firm and agency on our scale. For that cause, we suggest it for strict again or abdomen sleepers who’re in search of a firmer mattress that gives loads of assist. We had been shocked to see such a serious distinction in firmness between the 2, because the hybrid model is nearer to a medium.

Firmness is a subjective factor. You could really feel a mattress is a wholly completely different firmness than what we understand. It often comes right down to how a lot you weigh: Heavier folks often discover mattresses softer, whereas smaller of us suppose they seem to be a bit firmer. We rank firmness based mostly on the dimensions of a mean individual, round 180 kilos.

DreamCloud mattress building

Building is the primary cause why this model of the DreamCloud is so completely different. Its all-foam design makes it really feel much less responsive and corporations up the mattress fairly a bit. It is 12 inches thick and made up as follows:

1. It begins off with a 9-inch layer of dense assist foam. This serves because the foundational assist layer for the mattress.
2. Above the assist foam is a 1-inch layer of dynamic transition foam, which acts as a buffer between the assist core of the mattress so you do not really feel it as a lot.
3. Then, there’s round 2 inches of gel reminiscence foam that acts because the mattress’s important consolation layer.
4. Rounding out the mattress is a breathable cashmere mix cowl. It has some further consolation parts quilted into it and helps make the mattress look luxurious and really feel fairly good.

This cowl is detachable however not machine cleanable. You will need to spot-clean it with some gentle detergent if it will get soiled.

DreamCloud mattress efficiency

Movement isolation

In the event you aren’t sleeping solo, different components come into play. In the event you share a mattress with a accomplice who’s a lightweight sleeper, getting a mattress that deadens motion is important. The froth model of the DreamCloud mattress has nice movement isolation — even higher than the hybrid model, in our opinion. The all-foam building and gel reminiscence foam consolation layer assist cease movement the place it happens quite than transferring it by means of all the mattress and jostling your accomplice awake.

Edge-to-edge assist

This comes into play if considered one of you takes up many of the mattress — knowingly or unknowingly. This typically forces the opposite individual to sleep near the sting, and also you need to be sure that they’re going to be supported. Fashionable-day mattresses often have fewer edge-support points in contrast with a lot older beds, however some mattress perimeters might be flimsy. The froth DreamCloud performs superb right here. We would say it is on par with different all-foam beds. You should not fall off anytime quickly.

Temperature

Since there are not any actual cooling options within the foam DreamCloud, we see this mattress sleeping temperature impartial. The cashmere mix cowl is sort of breathable, however I do not foresee it cooling anybody down or warming them up excessively. Sleeping temperature not often has to do along with your mattress itself. Your room’s temperature in the end makes extra of a distinction than the rest.

Sturdiness

The typical lifespan of a mattress is seven to 10 years. Based mostly on our expertise, all-foam beds often degrade sooner than hybrids. Coils are usually extra supportive over time for greater folks in contrast with dense assist foam, which may dent and bow after extended use. The DreamCloud is a well-constructed all-foam mattress. Because it’s of upper high quality than an everyday foam mattress, it’ll probably final you a very long time.

Off-gassing 

Like many merchandise that you simply order on-line, there is a little bit of a manufacturing facility odor after unboxing. That is typically the case with bed-in-a-box choices. Don’t fret — there’s nothing improper along with your new mattress. The all-foam DreamCloud could odor bizarre initially, however the odor ought to disappear after a few days. Most beds want time to off-gas, which is a traditional a part of the course of. 

Who’s the DreamCloud mattress finest for?

Regardless that that is an accommodating all-foam mattress, it may not be proper for everybody. Because it’s on the firmer aspect and has a reminiscence foam really feel, it is likely to be finest for choose sleepers. This is who we predict will get essentially the most out of the froth model of the DreamCloud mattress. 

Sleeping place

Given its firmer profile, we would suggest this mattress primarily for again or abdomen sleepers. These sleeper sorts often choose extra assist quite than cushioning from their mattress. In the event you’re a strict aspect or mixture sleeper, you may want a bit extra strain aid out of your all-foam mattress. In that case, you would possibly need to try the DreamCloud Premier Relaxation, as it is the softest mannequin from the model.

Physique kind

Since that is the all-foam model of the DreamCloud mattress, it must be best suited for common or smaller folks. People who weigh greater than 250 kilos often require extra supportive hybrid choices. In the event you fall into that weight class, we would suggest trying out the hybrid model of this mattress. That mentioned, all physique sorts ought to get by on this mattress simply superb, and also you do have some assist choices from which to decide on.

DreamCloud mattress pricing 

Often, when you could have a selection between an all-foam or hybrid building, the coil choice prices a bit extra. Surprisingly, the froth model of the DreamCloud mattress is the dearer choice. Regardless that the all-foam mannequin is round $100 extra, we predict it is nonetheless a terrific worth for a high quality all-foam providing. Queen-size beds that value below $1,000 are few and much between lately, so we predict these new beds are priced fairly fairly.

Trial, transport and guarantee

As a model, DreamCloud backs its beds with some beneficiant insurance policies. Its beds ship at no cost, and as soon as the mattress is in your possession, you get a complete 12 months to strive it at house, risk-free. In the event you occur to return your mattress inside that timeframe, there is not any cost, however should you resolve to maintain it, you are backed by a lifetime guarantee. Simply you should definitely use the suitable basis for the mattress. In any other case, you may void that mattress guarantee.

The ultimate verdict

We actually loved the brand new all-foam DreamCloud mattress. It is a high quality mattress with quite a bit to supply, however finest for many who desire a reminiscence foam mattress that is on the a lot firmer finish of the spectrum. In the event you’re a mean or petite one that primarily sleeps in your again or abdomen, this mattress will in all probability work out effectively for you. In any other case, it’s possible you’ll need to try the opposite beds in DreamCloud’s mattress lineup.
