If you’re seeking a medium-firm hybrid mattress that offers both pressure relief and support, you may be interested in the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid. An upgraded version of their Classic Hybrid model, the new DreamCloud provides the best of both worlds, allowing for a touch of softness around your joints while still keeping your spine properly aligned. Additionally, it earned high scores in all of our performance-based tests, earning 4.8 out of 5 stars overall.
I’m a certified sleep science coach and have been testing and reviewing mattresses with Sleepopolis for three years. I’ve been trained to recognize key performance factors to make recommendations to sleepers based on their individual body type, sleeping position, and sleep preferences. Our team of expert testers has evaluated more than 330 mattresses in our studio based in Charlotte, NC, using a rigorous testing methodology.
Sleepopolis works with a network of sleep experts and medical professionals, such as board-certified doctors, physical therapists, and registered nurses, to help determine the best mattresses for specific sleepers. We work very closely with our chief medical advisor, Dr Raj. Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, who ensures our testing findings and recommendations are accurate.
When we tested the new version of the DreamCloud Hybrid, we found it most compatible with back sleeping due to the combination of soft foams and firmer support. We were also impressed with its performance for couples, especially its motion-isolating abilities, which earned 4.7 out of 5 stars on our tests. In this DreamCloud mattress review, I’ll break down each test and how the bed performed.
With soft foam and a sturdy layer of innerspring coils, the DreamCloud strikes a balance between comfort and support — a little bit of contouring up top and on-top-of-the-bed feel that comes from the bottom. It’s a fairly firm mattress that we think is most comfortable for back sleepers. It also has some luxury touches such as a cashmere-blend cover that are reminiscent of a high-end hotel. Learn more in our DreamCloud video review.
What our tester says:
“I really like how luxurious this mattress feels and how it could work for a variety of sleepers. Along with that, I found that the breathable cashmere cover helps the DreamCloud sleep cool throughout the night. Thanks to its medium-firm to firm support, I think the DreamCloud is a durable mattress. It balances support with plenty of pressure relief for back sleepers.” – Bridget Chapman, former Sleepopolis senior product editor
DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Overview
The DreamCloud Hybrid is a luxury mattress made with two layers of foam, a layer of individually wrapped coils, and a base layer of support foam. The bed also has foam quilted into its cover, which adds some surface cushioning and plushness at the body’s sensitive pressure points.
DreamCloud recently updated this mattress, so we decided to do a deep dive into its materials, construction, and performance, as well as the company policies. Instead of a cashmere blend cover, the new model features a CloudQuilt cover that’s quilted with foam and infused with cooling fibers. Additionally, the new model has a medium-firm feel, while the old version was slightly firmer.
This bed-in-a-box mattress is 12 inches tall once it’s been unboxed and fully inflated. When we evaluated its feel, we rated it a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it a true medium-firm mattress. This is the most common mattress firmness on the market, as it’s very versatile and can appeal to a variety of sleepers regardless of their body type or preferred sleeping position.
This bed performed very well on our motion isolation, cooling, responsiveness, and edge support tests, standing out as one of the best mattresses for couples. These factors are all important when it comes to sharing the bed, especially if you and your partner are sexually active.

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Sleepopolis Score
DreamCloud Hybrid Value
When we assess a mattress’s value, we look at its materials and whether their quality and the bed’s performance match its price point. The DreamCloud Hybrid is a luxury mattress made with durable materials and a supportive construction that’s unlikely to sag over time. All foams inside the mattress are CertiPUR-US certified, which guarantees they’re free from harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and other ozone depleters. I was also very impressed with this bed’s overall performance, which earned an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars.
The DreamCloud has a pretty standard price for a hybrid bed, with a queen size having a total value of $1,531. However, the brand is almost always running a sale, so you’ll probably find a queen-size mattress for around $650. Even without the discounted price, I think the DreamCloud is a high-value bed that comes at a reasonable price for its materials and performance.
What Is the DreamCloud Hybrid Made Of?
I evaluated the DreamCloud Hybrid’s materials by cutting into the side of the mattress and examining each layer to ensure it matches the company’s online description.
The DreamCloud Hybrid is a 12-inch tall luxury mattress made with a quilted cover, three inches of foam, and a layer of individually wrapped innerspring coils. When I touched the foam, I found it softer towards the top of the bed and denser near the bottom.
All the foams inside this mattress meet CertiPUR-US safety standards, meaning they contain no heavy metals, harmful chemicals, or ozone depleters.
Cover – A CloudQuilt cover that feels cool to the touch and has foam quilted into it to create a plush feel that mimics a pillow top but isn’t as lofty.
Comfort Layer – A 1-inch layer of blue memory foam that is super lightweight and has a quick response to pressure.
Transition Layer – A 1-inch layer of light green foam that is slightly denser but still has a quick response to pressure..
Support Layer – An 8-inch layer of individually wrapped coils that are reinforced around the edge of the bed.
Base Layer – Another 1-inch layer of dense green foam that gives the coils something to bounce off of.
It can be difficult to pin down mattress firmness, as it’s one of the more subjective factors we evaluate. What feels firm to one sleeper could feel soft to someone with a different body type or preferred sleeping position. To get an accurate firmness assessment, we invite several expert testers to lie on the mattress in three sleeping positions. Each tester provides their personal firmness rating, and then we average them together to create the final firmness score. We rate firmness on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. We consider a score of 6.5 out of 10 to represent a true medium-firm feel, which is the most common firmness across mattresses.
The DreamCloud Hybrid ended up falling at a 6.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, meaning it provides a balance between soft cushioning and firm support. When I tested the DreamCloud, I thought it had a classic medium-firm feel that felt best when lying on my back and my side. The quilted cover and top layers of foam added some softness that was soothing around my lower lumbar region. However, it wasn’t too soft, as the coils kept my body lifted and prevented too much sinkage.
DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Performance
When selecting a new mattress, there are a few performance factors you’ll want to consider. I assessed the DreamCloud Hybrid for pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling, and edge support with help from my fellow testers, Sosha Lewis and Erin Chiles.
Our tests collected both quantitative and qualitative data to help us better understand how the DreamCloud Hybrid will perform for different types of sleepers. Below, I’ll summarize each test and how the DreamCloud performed.
DreamCloud Hybrid Pressure Relief Performance
Regardless of your body type and preferred sleeping position, pressure relief is an important element of any mattress. According to Dr. Raj Dasgupta, our chief medical advisor, the best mattress for pressure relief includes contouring materials that cushion the hips and shoulders, such as memory foam. The DreamCloud contains two layers of contouring foam, plus additional foam quilted into the cover, so we had high hopes for this bed.
We test pressure relief by rolling a specialized mat onto the mattress and lying on it in the side- and back-sleeping positions. The mat is able to sense where pressure is building along the body and translate the results into a color-coded graphic using thermal imaging. Areas displaying blue and green mean the pressure is low and pain is unlikely to occur. Red and yellow indicate a buildup in pressure, which could lead to pain forming or preexisting pain worsening.
When it comes to pressure relief, your body type will likely determine the results. I weigh less than 130 pounds, so I fall in the lightweight sleeper category. In order to understand how the mattress performs for different body types, I invited my colleague Sosha Lewis to lie on the pressure mat, as well. Sosha weighs between 130 and 230 pounds, which is our average-weight category, so the mattress may feel different to her than it does to me.
Sosha and I gave the DreamCloud Hybrid an average pressure relief score of 5 stars for the back-sleeping position, and 3.5 stars for the side-sleeping position. When we average these scores together, we get an overall pressure relief rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars.
Sosha and I found this mattress most compatible with back sleeping. When I lay down, I felt more “on” the bed than “in” the bed, and experienced some great support at my hips that kept my spine aligned. The foam quilted into the mattress’s cover provided some cushioning along my upper back and filled in the space at my lower back for additional lumbar support. I felt like I was beginning to melt into the top layers of foam, but the coils below prevented too much sinkage and kept me lifted. Sosha agreed that this mattress felt great in this position. Although her hips sank a bit further into the bed than mine did, her spine was still aligned.
When we switched into the side-sleeping position, we felt less pressure relief than we did on our backs. As a lightweight sleeper, I felt a bit of cushioning in my shoulder and just a bit of sinkage at my hips. My spine felt very straight in this position, but I did notice some pressure building in my shoulders after a few minutes, so I gave the bed 4 stars for side sleeping. Sosha found more sinkage at her hips, which affected her spinal alignment and caused some pain in her back. She’s typically a side sleeper and didn’t feel comfortable on this bed, rating it 3 stars for this position.
Overall, I would recommend this bed to back sleepers of any weight class. While the bed offers a lot of firm support that promotes spinal alignment, there’s just the right amount of plushness to contour the upper and lower back. When it comes to side-sleeping, lightweight sleepers will get cushioning from the top layers of foam and enough lift from the coils to keep their spine aligned. However, average-weight and heavy sleepers will sink further into the top layers and may need more support to prevent their hips from sinking out of alignment with their shoulders.
DreamCloud Hybrid Motion Isolation
People who sleep with a partner may want to pay extra attention to this section. When we talk about motion isolation, we’re referring to the mattress’s ability to absorb a sleeper’s movement and prevent their partner from feeling it. If you tend to toss and turn throughout the night, a bed with good motion isolation can prevent you from disrupting your partner’s sleep, especially if they’re easily awakened. Dr. Dasgupta also notes that motion-isolating abilities can speak to the mattress’s overall quality and durability. We evaluated the DreamCloud Hybrid’s motion isolation using a ripple test and a partner test, for which the bed earned an overall score of 4.7 stars.
We started with the ripple test, which involves placing a full container of water on one side of the mattress and then climbing into bed and rolling around on the other side. We then observed the water and how our motion impacted it. If the water remains mostly still with only a few ripples, then it’s unlikely your motion will cause major disturbance to your partner. When I performed this test, I saw only some slight rippling when I got in and out of bed and switched sleeping positions. The water didn’t creep up the side of the tub at all, even when I tried to make large, disruptive movements. This was impressive for a hybrid bed, as the coils typically allow movement to travel across the bed, so I rated this test 5 stars.
Next, I lay down on the mattress wearing a blindfold while my testing partner, Erin Chiles, got in and out of bed and switched sleeping positions next to me. I could detect her getting into bed, but only because I could feel the mattress adjust to the weight of another person. When she started to roll around, I could tell she was there, but my body wasn’t jostled or affected by her movement, so I gave this test 4 stars.
Overall, I think very light sleepers may get annoyed by a restless partner next to them on the DreamCloud, but typical sound sleepers should be able to sleep through the night despite someone moving around on the other side of the bed.
DreamCloud Hybrid Responsiveness
Responsiveness refers to the rate at which a mattress bounces back after weight has been applied. Typically, hybrid mattresses like the DreamCloud offer more bounce than all-foam mattresses due to the layer of spring coils. As part of our responsiveness tests, we evaluate how easy it is to move around on the bed, which is important for combination sleepers who frequently switch between sleeping positions. Based on four tests, the DreamCloud Hybrid earned 5 stars for responsiveness.
Switch test: This test is simple – a tester lies on the bed and moves from their back to their side to their stomach and observes how easy it is to move. When I performed this test, I gave it 5 stars because moving from one position to the next was seamless. Even though the bed has a plush quilted cover, it didn’t inhibit my mobility or prevent me from easily rolling around.
Responsiveness test: Next, we time how long it takes for the mattress to return to its original shape after weight has been removed. I placed a 53-pound kettlebell on the bed and allowed it to fully sink in before pulling it straight up. A stopwatch showed it took 1.2 seconds for the bed to bounce back, which earned 3 stars.
Sinkage test: I then grabbed the kettlebell again, placed it on the center of the bed, and allowed it to sink in fully. I used a ruler to measure exactly how far it sank and found 4.3 inches of sinkage. This is higher than the 3.7-inch average, placing the DreamCloud in the “deep sinkage” category.
Bounce test: Finally, we measured the DreamCloud Hybrid’s bounciness. I climbed up a ladder until I was 6 feet above the mattress and dropped a 25-pound steel ball onto its surface. A yardstick on the wall allowed us to see exactly how high the ball rebounded, which was 4 inches. This height is significantly lower than the 16.3-inch average, classifying this bed as “low bounce.”
DreamCloud Hybrid Cooling
If you sleep hot, you may want a mattress with cooling materials and a breathable construction that promotes airflow. As a hybrid bed, the DreamCloud contains an 8-inch layer of innerspring coils that adds space inside the bed for hot air to flow without getting trapped, so I expected to see good scores on our cooling tests. Overall, this bed earned 4.5 stars based on a thermal gun test, a cover test, and a feel test.
Thermal gun test: We use a thermal gun on each mattress we test to determine how it responds to body heat. First, we record the initial temperature of the bed before anyone has touched it. Then, a tester lies down for five minutes before recording the mattress’s temperature again and calculating the increase. If the temperature increases by fewer than 4 degrees, we consider it to have excellent cooling. An increase of 4.1 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, and more than 15 degrees indicates poor cooling.
When I performed this test, the DreamCloud Hybrid went from 73.7 degrees to 78 degrees. This is a 4.3-degree temperature increase, which indicates the bed is doing an excellent job regulating the sleeper’s temperature and preventing overheating. Based on this result, I gave the mattress 4.5 stars.
Cover test: For this test, I pressed my hand into the surface of the bed and paid attention to the way it felt against my skin. I thought the cover had an initial cool-to-the-touch feel that was just a bit chiller than temperature neutral. This felt soothing when I first lay down on the bed.
Feel test: As I lay on the bed for five minutes during the thermal gun test, I paid attention to the way the bed felt under my body and whether I could feel it heating up. I noticed that the cool-to-the-touch feel went away after a few minutes, making the bed feel closer to room temperature. Other than that, I couldn’t feel it significantly warming beneath me and thought that the temperature remained constant throughout the entire test.
Based on the above tests, I would definitely recommend the DreamCloud Hybrid to anyone concerned about overheating. The mattress provided solid temperature regulation and prevented my body heat from warming the foams. The bed also had an airy feel to it due to the tall coil layer.
DreamCloud Hybrid Edge Support
Edge support refers to the strength of the bed’s perimeter. When we evaluate edge support, we look for minimal sinkage when sitting or lying directly on the side of the mattress. Ideally, the edge of the bed should be just as supportive as the very center. This can be important to sleepers with mobility issues, as it allows them to use the edge to aid getting in and out of bed. Couples and solo sleepers alike can also appreciate strong edges that allow them to fully sprawl out and use the entire surface of the bed. We tested the edge support on the DreamCloud hybrid using a tape measure test, a seated test, and a full body test to create a final score of 4 stars.
Tape measure test: This test, which we also call the weighted edge support test, involves stacking weighted plates together to simulate three body types – a 99-pound sleeper, a 154-pound sleeper, and a 198-pound sleeper. We place each weight stack directly on the edge of the mattress and use a tape measure to measure how much the layers collapse. From the lightest to the heaviest stacks, the sinkage went from 3 inches to 4.5 inches to 5 inches. When we combined the scores from each stack, this test earned 4 stars overall.
Seated test: As the name implies, this test involves someone sitting directly on the edge of the mattress. This tester stands up several times and observes how secure they feel and whether they’re at risk of falling off the bed. When I performed this test, I could feel the mattress layers compressing beneath my weight. I didn’t feel like I was about to slip off the bed, but the sinkage was noticeable, so I gave the seated edge support 4 stars.
Full body test: I felt more secure when lying directly on the DreamCloud Hybrid’s edges. When I was on my back and stomach, I felt lifted and supported without too much sinkage. When I was lying on my side, my weight was less evenly distributed, and I experienced more sinkage. While I felt pretty secure, I didn’t trust myself to move or adjust for fear of tipping over the side, so I also gave the lying down edge support 4 stars.
DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples
If you sleep with a partner, you’ll want to pay attention to cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and responsiveness, as these are the most relevant categories to couples. Based on the DreamCloud Hybrid’s performance in these areas, I think it’s a great choice for couples.
The mattress earned the full 5 stars in responsiveness, which is important to sexually active couples because it allows them to easily move around on the bed when switching positions. I was also impressed by the 4.7-star motion isolation, as this indicates you’ll experience very little sleep disturbance if your partner tosses and turns.
This bed also performed very well on our cooling test, earning 4.5 stars, so couples who sleep hot won’t have to worry about overheating. Finally, the 4-star edge support means you and your partner will be able to sleep right up to the very edge, which can make the mattress feel larger.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
While those tests covered a lot, we’re not quite done with the DreamCloud Hybrid. There are a few more things you’ll want to keep in mind before confirming your purchase.
Sex
We create our overall sex score based on responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. The best mattresses for sex are bouncy and easy to move around on, which helps couples switch between positions without feeling trapped in the bed’s layers. They also have cooling properties to prevent overheating and strong edges that allow you to use the entire bed during sex. Based on the 5-star responsiveness, 4.5-star cooling, and 4-star edge support, the DreamCloud Hybrid earned 4.5 stars overall for sex, making it a great choice.
Noise
I evaluated the DreamCloud Hybrid for noise by compressing its layers, rolling around, and sitting down on the bed. I ended up giving it 5 stars for noise because it was very quiet with no creaking or squeaking from the coil layer. I also didn’t notice any air being released when I pressed down on the foam, so I don’t foresee noise being an issue for any sleeper.
Base Compatibility
Typically, mattresses containing coils aren’t the best choice for adjustable bases, as they struggle to bend when the head and legs are elevated. However, I gave the DreamCloud Hybrid 5 stars for adjustable base compatibility because the coils didn’t prevent the bed from moving at all. In fact, the bed conformed perfectly to the adjustable base in our studio, with no gap between the bed and base.
Durability
Since you’ll be using your new mattress every night, you want to be sure it will last a long time. We evaluate durability by looking at the materials, support, edge support, and warranty. Strong support that extends all the way to the edge of the mattress can prevent the bed from sagging prematurely. The quality of materials can also affect durability, as cheap materials tend to deteriorate quicker than high-quality ones. Finally, I always take a peek at the mattress warranty, as it shows the brand’s confidence in its product and how long the mattress is expected to last.
Overall, I think the DreamCloud Hybrid is a super durable mattress. This bed is very supportive due to its 8-inch layer of pocketed coils. While I found a decent amount of sinkage when I sat directly on the side of the bed, I still found the edges supportive enough to lie down on, especially when back and stomach sleeping. I also appreciate that the foams are CertiPUR-US certified, as this ensures their quality and means they’re less likely to break down over time. The bed comes with a lifetime warranty, so DreamCloud is confident in the bed’s ability to stand the test of time.

DreamCloud Hybrid Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
Your body type and sleeping position can largely affect the way a mattress feels for you. For example, something that provides plush cushioning for a lightweight back sleeper may not provide enough support for heavy side sleepers. Below, I’ll break down each weight category and how the bed may feel in different positions.
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average-weight sleepers and tend to sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the DreamCloud Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – These sleepers will find excellent spinal alignment on this bed, with great cushioning along their entire body.
- Light Side Sleepers – In this position, you should find pressure relief at the hips and shoulders from the quilted cover while also experiencing enough lift to keep the hips and shoulders aligned.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – The mattress provides enough support to keep these sleepers’ hips propped up and in line with their shoulders.
Is the DreamCloud Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – This mattress should feel great for these sleepers, as it’s supportive enough to keep the spine in a straight line while cushioning the lumbar region.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – These sleepers may find too much sinkage at their hips in this position, which throws the spine out of alignment and leads to back pain.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – These sleepers may find their hips sinking too far into the foam layer, which causes the lower back to form a painful U shape.
Is the DreamCloud Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – The mattress should be supportive enough for these sleepers in this position, but they should be aware that the bed will feel softer than medium-firm to them.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – I don’t recommend this mattress to these sleepers, as they’ll sink right down to the coil layer.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – These sleepers should seek a firmer bed with more support to prevent their hips from sinking below their shoulders and causing back pain.
My Final Thoughts About the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress
Let’s summarize some of my favorite things about the DreamCloud Hybrid, as well as some negative callouts.

DreamCloud Hybrid vs. Competitor
There are many luxury hybrid mattresses on the market that sport a medium-firm feel and similar construction. Below, I’ll compare the DreamCloud Hybrid to a similar mattress — the WinkBed.
DreamCloud Hybrid vs WinkBed
Just like the DreamCloud, the WinkBed is a luxury hybrid mattress made with two top layers of foam and a layer of coils. While the WinkBed also falls at a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, it comes with the Euro pillow top that’s slightly plusher and loftier than the DreamCloud’s quilted cover. The WinkBed comes in three firmness levels, and we tested the Luxury Firm model in our studio.
- Price: At full retail, these beds have a similar price tag.
- Sleeping position: Both mattresses are compatible with back sleeping, and the WinkBed is also a good choice for side sleepers.
- Cooling: The DreamCloud sleeps slightly cooler than the WinkBed, earning half a star higher on our cooling test.
- Body weight: We found the WinkBed to be a better match for heavy sleepers.

Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of certified sleep science coaches personally tests each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
