DreamCloud Mattress Similarities
Since all three of these beds are made by the same company, they naturally have quite a few similarities. In fact, you can think of the DreamCloud Premier and Premier Rest as upgraded versions of the original DreamCloud. Let’s go over what all three beds have in common:
- Hybrid Construction — All these beds are hybrids, meaning they are made with a combination of foams and coils. They are overall pretty similar in mattress construction, with slight differences.
- Good For Back Sleepers — All three of these beds work really well for back sleepers thanks to a nice mix of pressure relief and support.
- Shipping — The DreamCloud mattresses are all bed-in-a-box mattresses, which ship compressed and rolled up in a box. Additionally, DreamCloud offers free shipping.
- Trial Period/Warranty — All three of these beds share the same 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty.
DreamCloud vs DreamCloud Premier vs DreamCloud Premier Rest
Now that we’ve touched on some commonalities, let’s take a look at each bed individually to highlight the differences.
DreamCloud
The DreamCloud is the flagship mattress for the brand, as well as the least expensive out of the three beds in the line. This 14-inch tall hybrid mattress offers a firm but comfortable feel.
Construction Specs:
- Cover — A cashmere blend quilted with foam.
- Comfort Layer — A layer of slow-response, pressure-relieving gel-infused memory foam.
- Transition Layer — A 2-inch layer of polyurethane foam to ease the transition between comfort and support.
- Support Layer — A section of individually wrapped coils.
- Base Layer — Thin section of poly foam to provide structure.
Firmness: 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Compared to 6.5, our standard for medium-firm, this means the DreamCloud is a little firmer than average.
Motion Transfer: Average motion transfer, which means you’ll likely feel significant motion from your partner (such as getting in and out of bed) but shouldn’t be too bothered by smaller movements.
Edge Support: Edge support refers to a bed’s ability to bear weight around the perimeter. Edge support is also a good indicator of durability. The DreamCloud has pretty good edge support, thanks to the pocketed coils.
Pressure Relief: The plusher foams in the upper layer do a nice job of relieving pressure for back sleepers, while side sleepers may feel a small amount of pressure in their shoulder or hip.
We especially recommend the DreamCloud mattress to back sleepers, couples, and hot sleepers. Learn more about this bed in our full DreamCloud mattress review.

Delores E., DreamCloud customerDreamCloud Premier
The DreamCloud Premier is the upgraded version of the DreamCloud, featuring a Euro top. It also stands at 14 inches tall and offers a similarly firm feel as the original DreamCloud.
Construction Specs:
- Cover — A cashmere blend cover quilted with foam.
- Euro Top — A pillow top stitched flush to the edges, consisting of two inches of memory foam.
- Transition Layer — A 2.5-inch layer of poly foam to ease the transition between the Euro top and support.
- Support Layer — A section of individually wrapped coils.
- Base Layer — A thin layer of poly foam to provide structure.
Firmness: 7 out of 10, meaning the DreamCloud Premier is also firmer than average.
Motion Transfer: Low motion transfer results, meaning you shouldn’t feel too much if your partner moves around on the bed at night.
Edge Support: The DreamCloud Premier also has good edge support, meaning you can utilize the edges of the bed without feeling as if you’ll slip off.
Pressure Relief: Like the DreamCloud, the Premier offers excellent pressure relief to back sleepers, but side sleepers may feel some buildup around the hip or shoulder.
We recommend the DreamCloud Premier to couples, back sleepers, hot sleepers, and some occasional stomach sleepers. Learn more in our full DreamCloud Premier mattress review.

DreamCloud Premier Rest
The DreamCloud Premier Rest utilizes a pillow top layer and, at 16 inches tall, is two inches taller than the other two DreamClouds. It offers a softer, more pressure-relieving feel than the other two. It is also the most expensive.
Construction Specs:
- Cover — A cashmere blend quilted with foam.
- Pillow Top — A traditional pillow top with pressure-relieving memory foam.
- Comfort Layer — Another layer of soft foam.
- Transition Layer — A 3.5-inch layer of poly foam to transition between the softer foams and support layer.
- Support Layer — A section of individually wrapped coils.
- Base Layer — A thin section of poly foam to provide structure to the mattress.
Firmness: 6.5 out of 10, meaning the DreamCloud Premier Rest offers a true medium-firm feel.
Motion Transfer: Average motion transfer, meaning you will likely feel some motion on this mattress.
Edge Support: The DreamCloud Premier had just average edge support. We felt some sinkage in our tests and it didn’t feel quite as sturdy as the other two bed’s edges.
Pressure Relief: The DreamCloud Premier offers excellent pressure relief for back and side sleepers.
We recommend this bed for both back and side sleepers, as well as hot sleepers. Learn more in our full DreamCloud Premier Rest mattress review.
DreamCloud Premier Rest
The DreamCloud Premier Rest is a hybrid bed-in-a-box with a medium firmness that’s great for a wide range of sleepers. The support level will be great for back sleepers and side sleepers will enjoy the pressure relief the pillow top structure provides.

DreamCloud Mattress Review Summary
The DreamCloud mattresses are similar in many ways — they are close in firmness level, all offer nice airflow and temperature regulation, and feature foam layers that provide some pressure relief and contouring. However, there are some subtle differences that may make one of these mattresses a better fit for you than another.
Overall, I think the DreamCloud and DreamCloud Premier are great choices for most back sleepers, as they’ll get sturdy support but still feel some cushioning. These two are also great picks for couples thanks to their cooling features, good edge support, and strong motion isolation. The DreamCloud Premier is a better pick for side sleepers or sleepers who prefer a plusher feel.
Which DreamCloud Mattress Is Best for You?
Back Sleepers — I think back sleepers will be happy on all three of these mattresses.
Side Sleepers — Some side sleepers may do okay on the DreamCloud or Premier, but overall the DreamCloud Premier Rest is the best choice for these folks, as it offers contouring memory foam layers for pressure relief.
Stomach Sleepers — Lightweight stomach sleepers should be comfortable on the DreamCloud or DreamCloud Premier, but overall the DreamCloud mattresses aren’t firm enough to keep most stomach sleepers’ hips lifted up to maintain spinal alignment.
Combination Sleepers — All three DreamCloud mattresses offer a bouncy and responsive feel, making it easy to switch between sleeping positions.
Heavy Sleepers — People of different body types have different support needs from their mattresses, and heavy sleepers who weigh 250 pounds or more tend to need sturdy support to ensure proper spinal alignment and comfort. All three DreamClouds should offer proper support for heavier sleepers, although not every sleeping position may be comfortable for this group.

FAQs
Do DreamCloud mattresses need a boxspring?
It is not necessary to use a boxspring with a DreamCloud mattress, but you can if you want. You can also use a standard bed frame, adjustable base, platform bed, or any other approved base.
Can you flip a DreamCloud mattress?
No, you should not flip your DreamCloud mattress — otherwise you’ll be sleeping on the support layer and not the layers of foam on the top. However, you can rotate the mattress 180 degrees to prevent sagging.
Do DreamCloud mattresses come with a sleep trial?
Yes, the DreamCloud mattresses come with a 365-night trial. That means you can test the mattress out at home for a full year and if you decide it’s not the right fit for you, you can return it for a full refund within that trial period.
How long is the DreamCloud warranty?
DreamCloud offers a lifetime warranty on their mattresses.
How does DreamCloud ship?
DreamCloud ships for free within the contiguous United States. They do ship to Hawaii and Alaska, but customers in these states will have to pay an additional $250 fee per large item.
DreamCloud Vs
Now that we’ve taken a look at the DreamCloud mattresses, let’s compare these beds to some of their biggest competition: Helix and Nectar.
Helix
- Helix is a popular brand that offers a very wide selection of hybrid mattresses. Helix has a standard line of six mattresses, but they also have Luxe versions — which are two inches taller and have pillow tops and cooling covers — as well as an Elite collection with two layers of coils and cooling covers.
- One thing that stands out about Helix’s line of hybrid beds is that they offer a range of feels, from ultra-soft to ultra-firm.
- They also offer the Helix Plus, which is optimized for heavy people.
Helix Midnight Mattress
The Helix Midnight has a medium support level and bounce that will appeal to a wide range of sleep preferences. The Midnight also does an exceptional job of isolating motion, making it a great choice for couples that move around at night.
