365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty
Cons

Memory foam layers can hinder movement on the surface
We brought the DreamCloud Mattress into our testing lab to carefully evaluate its key characteristics and performance. We found that the mattress earned solid marks in most categories, giving it broad appeal across our testing team.
Even better, the DreamCloud has a below-average price-point, making it a compelling option for budget shoppers or anyone who just wants to optimize their return on investment.
The DreamCloud features an intricate layering of foam materials in its comfort system, including two different layers of gel-infused memory foam. This mattress also features a coil-based core.
We’ll take a closer look at the DreamCloud Mattress, including how it’s built, its performance in our testing, and the shipping, return, and warranty policies that it comes with. For shoppers looking for mattresses with a host of added features, DreamCloud’s product line also includes the DreamCloud Premier and the Premier Rest. You can also opt for the DreamCloud Memory Foam Mattress, which features five individual foam layers.

Testing Team Takeaways
To test the DreamCloud Mattress, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.

Talks in sleep (like a lot)
The DreamCloud mattress may not be the best mattress on the market. But it is, in my opinion, among the best values on the market. It strikes a near perfect balance between cost and performance, so you know every dollar you spend translates into quality.

Side sleeper
Has too many dogs in the bed
The DreamCloud is a relatively firm mattress, which isn’t my preference. As a side sleeper, I found it a bit too intense on my hips and shoulders, but it may work well for people with a higher body weight or who like a firmer feel.

Sleeps with noise machine
As a combination sleeper, I appreciated the ability to get support from the DreamCloud in different sleeping positions. I liked how even though it offered moderate contouring, I never felt like I was sinking into the mattress.

Side Sleepers
The DreamCloud Mattress is a solid option for side sleepers, especially those who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. The foam layers cradle the hips and shoulders to relieve pressure, but there’s enough firmness to keep the body from plunging into the mattress.
Back Sleepers
In our testing, back sleepers under 130 pounds appreciated the balance of firmness and cushioning provided by the DreamCloud. It also gave good results to back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, although some found it a touch too soft. Most back sleepers over 230 pounds felt that there was more softness and contouring than they usually prefer in a mattress, which made it harder to feel fully supported.
Stomach Sleepers
Because of its contouring foams, the DreamCloud isn’t the top option for most stomach sleepers. With the bounce of its pocketed coils, the mattress worked well for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. But other stomach sleepers tended to feel that their body pushed too far down into the foam comfort layers.
Mattress Performance
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Motion Isolation
7.5
/ 10
“I was impressed by the motion isolation on the DreamCloud. While movement on the other side of the mattress isn’t totally undetectable, it’s minimized so that it’s unlikely to interfere with your sleep.” – Mary
In our evaluation, the DreamCloud provided impressive motion isolation. The layers of foam in the comfort system, including two layers of memory foam, conform to the body and limit vibrations from spreading across the mattress surface. This makes the DreamCloud a good choice for anyone who shares a mattress.
Pressure Relief
8
/ 10
“The DreamCloud is a slightly firmer bed than average, so it offers additional support that you may not get from other hybrid models. It’s one of my top choices for people who have back pain as it offers exceptional pressure relief from its foam comfort layers.” – Logan
Most of our testers liked how much pressure relief that this mattress provided without feeling excessively soft or enveloping. Its ability to cushion the hips, shoulders, and lower back make it particularly appealing for side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and back sleepers under 230 pounds.
Temperature Control
7
/ 10
“I’m a hot sleeper, so, outside of support, the most important thing to me in a mattress is temperature control. What I love about Dreamcloud is that even in the summer months I’m able to stay cool throughout the night.” – Colin
We found that the DreamCloud delivers above-average temperature control, especially for a mattress with two layers of memory foam. The gel-infused foams reduce heat retention, and air flows easily through the coils for ventilation.
Although not the coolest mattress on the market, the DreamCloud has enough temperature control that even hot sleepers can stay comfortable through the night.
Edge Support
7.5
/ 10
“The edge support of the DreamCloud is not the best I’ve tried, but I think it gets the job done for folks under 300 pounds. There is some sinkage, but it still allows you to sit comfortably to put your shoes on, etc. If you’re especially concerned with this, this mattress may not be your top option.” – Logan
Our testing found that edge support from the DreamCloud was solid. The coils are reinforced around the perimeter, making it easier to feel supported anywhere on the mattress surface. This results in minimal compression when you sleep close to the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed.
Ease of Movement
7
/ 10
“Given the contouring of the memory foam layers, there can be a bit of friction when you want to move on the mattress. But because you don’t sink into the bed, it’s not a serious issue, especially on the bouncier hybrid model.” – Mary
We found sufficient ease of movement on the DreamCloud Mattress, and there was not much resistance because of its bouncier support core.
The memory foam in this mattress gently conforms around the heavier parts of the body. That can make it harder to move on the mattress surface, but our testers didn’t feel like they were stuck in place.
Off-Gassing
7
/ 10
“I unboxed my California king size DreamCloud in my garage, anticipating needing to let it off-gas for 24 hours. It turned out to smell fine right out of the box, but people who are smell-sensitive may have a different experience. – Colin
Given its extensive foam layering, it’s normal for there to be a “new mattress smell” when you first open the packaging of the DreamCloud. We found that the odor was pretty minimal. It also poses no risk to health and should dissipate within a couple of days at most.
The DreamCloud Mattress is a hybrid mattress featuring an arrangement of multiple foam layers above a core with pocketed innerspring coils.
This mattress is 12 inches tall, has a firmness level of medium firm (6), and features a soft and breathable cover made from a cashmere blend. High-performance materials in the comfort system include two different layers of gel-infused memory foam, one of which is quilted into the cover.

Trial, Warranty, and Shipping Policies
Availability
The DreamCloud Mattress is available to shoppers in all 50 U.S. states. It can be purchased directly from DreamCloud on their website, and it is also available on Amazon.
Shipping
DreamCloud includes free shipping to the contiguous 48 U.S. states. Shipping is available to Alaska and Hawaii for an additional charge.
Once an order is processed, the mattress is usually delivered within five business days. The mattress arrives in a box that is left at your doorstep. Inside the box, the mattress is compressed and sealed in plastic.
To set up your mattress, you just need to bring the box inside and remove all the packaging so that the mattress can decompress. You can sleep on the mattress right away, but it may take up to 72 hours to retake its full size.
Additional Services
For an extra charge, DreamCloud offers a premium in-home setup service. This White Glove delivery option uses a local service provider that comes to your home to install your new mattress and haul away your old one.
Sleep Trial
The DreamCloud comes with one of the most generous sleep trials in the industry. The trial lasts for 365 nights. You are required to keep the mattress for 30 nights during a break-in period. After that, if you decide you want to make a return, the company will help you find a place to donate the mattress and give you a full refund of your purchase price.
Warranty
The mattress comes with a lifetime limited warranty that covers defects in materials or manufacturing. It does not cover accidental damage, negligence, or expected wear and tear.
During the first 10 years of owning the mattress, DreamCloud will repair or replace a defective mattress at no cost. After that point, the warranty still applies, but there may be shipping charges for warranty services.
