DreamCloud Mattress Review

This is 100% my honest, unbiased review. I’ve been dreaming on a cloud for the past week. Before this review, I thought I had already had my perfect mattress. When I was asked to test the DreamCloud, I had already thought I'd found my perfect mattress elsewhere. That all changed though because this cushiony cool cashmere mattress is indeed like sleeping on a DreamCloud.

DreamCloud Mattress  Review

The problem with a lot of memory foam bed-in-a-box mattresses is that although they are conveniently delivered to your door, they’re still not that department store type luxurious mattress you sink into. Or for those travelers out there, that fluffy hotel bed you can’t seem to leave with a beachy breeze coming through french doors. The DreamCloud is everything you want in a memory-foam mattress and more, it really is pure luxury delivered Amazon style.

Look, I review a lot of mattresses but that doesn't make me an expert. The truth is I’m a real human that likes to sleep a lot. I live a healthy lifestyle and often have sore muscles from working out a lot. I have an injury on the side of my hip making it difficult for me to lay on my side. With the DreamCloud, I feel no pressure or pain on my hip. Prior to the DreamCloud, I’ve been sleeping on the Bear Mattress Hybrid. I love it, but the DreamCloud is seriously making me reconsider.

When it comes to the firmness, the DreamCloud feels very soft, like you are cuddling on a comfy couch. Don't worry about your lower back because ,while its soft, your body sits above the top layer in a firm way. I think  the top layer TRUETUFTED™ CASHMERE BLEND TOP quilted squares are what make you feel like you are sinking into the mattress. I’d rate it a 4 or 5 out of 10(10 being the firmest).

The edge support on the DreamCloud is perfect, which makes you feel like you are on a large bed because you get the most out of every corner and edge. A lot of memory foam hybrid mattresses have poor edge support making it difficult for couples and edge sleepers to have an even distribution of weight causing a lot of tossing and turning. On the DreamCloud, every spot is really the sweet spot.

Because the DreamCloud is designed to feel more like a luxury traditional mattress, it’s design incorporates coils like one. I honestly can’t even tell it’s a memory foam mattress. It looks and feels like an ultra high end mattress. I used to think what made a high-end hotel bed so lovely was the thick down comforter, but I was wrong, it’s the cloud like mattress. It has a bit of a bounce when you jump and you can feel motion, bu I’m single and I am the only one sleeping in my bed, so movement doesn’t bother me. If you are looking for a no-transfer-of-movement bed, then you might want to go with a non-hybrid pure memory foam mattress, but I don’t see why you would because who doesn’t want to dream in the clouds?

There are many layers to the DreamCloud, 8 to be exact. From coils to gel to hand stitched cashmere. I’m not a sleep scientist, but whatever they did, they nailed it.

DreamCloud Mattress Critiques

It’s extra heavy. I’ve unwrapped and set up a 15 inch hybrid mattress before and the DreamCloud tops the cake for being heaviest. I’m actually shocked that my FedEx guy was able to deliver up my second story flight of stairs. He deserves a tip! It came in a large duffel rather than a box that ripped right away when I tried to move it. There was a second layer duffel bag underneath and the zipper broke when I tried to open it. The third and final layer was plastic. It came with a plastic cutter, but I thought it was a bit wasteful before regular scissors would do the trick. I wish there was a way to use less packaging and plastic for these mattresses, it just seems so wasteful. There was a very slight offgassing scent for a couple hours and it took maybe 2 hours for it to fully inflate, but I passed out on it within the hour of setting it up. True story. Best sunday ever.

As my DreamCloud mattress inflated, right away I noticed some thread snags, which made me question the quality and life longevity of the mattress. They were on three corners of the mattress. At around $1500, I don’t want snags.

Although the quilted squares, a.k.a. TRUETUFTED™ CASHMERE BLEND TOP,  allow you to sink into the bed, the stitching dividing the squares is a little too deep. If you pay attention you can feel you are not sleeping on a straight surface. Even with all my bedding on this mattress you can see the square indentations. Also there are these yarn like button looking tufts that connect the quilted top. They are hand-made-tufts that are threaded all the way through to the back of the mattress. They look like in time they will snag, but only time will tell.

The exterior sides are made of a brown suede looking material. It’s not a bad looking mattress, but I think for the quality of this mattress, I would have gone for a higher thread count material. The four corner handles are a nice touch if you need to lift the mattress to make your bed, because this mattress is heavy. Luckily, my bed making is pretty minimal.

Although a cool mattress, it’s not the coolest I’ve slept on. The good news is, you won’t overheat on the DreamCloud. I’d say it’s good for all types of sleeping climates. Warm when you want it, cool when you need it.

DreamCloud Mattress Review Summary

Rating 9.6 | Final Thoughts

I didn’t want to say it, but this is the best mattress ever.  It’s the best mattress I’ve ever slept on and it exceeded my expectations. I really was secretly hoping to not like it, but it’s pretty close to perfect. It’s everything you want in a bed that will support all types of sleepers of all weights and sizes. It’s well made and you’ll wake up from your dreams on a cloud. Be careful though, I overslept on it this morning.
