Our In-Depth Dreamcloud Premier Mattress Review for 2024

The DreamCloud brand addresses this concern by using a combination of soft comfort foams, conforming memory materials, and transitional support to ensure that the body’s shape is accommodated and curves are supported.

Emma said, “Laying down, we feel a lot of pressure relief, especially lying on our sides. I definitely prefer sleeping on my side on this model. It feels great around my shoulders and hips, and they sink down enough to help my spine feel straight.”

Is the DreamCloud Premier Mattress Good for Pain Relief?

The DreamCloud Premier mattress has a plush Euro top that can help cradle pressure points and prevent shoulder and hip pain. However, it’s important to remember that the soft cushioning of the Euro top may not fit everyone’s sleeping position, body weight, and shape.

• Back Pain – The DreamCloud Premier should help relieve some back pain by providing ample support for the lower back and shoulders. The mattress cradles these pressure points, allowing a bit of sinkage to prevent pressure build-up that could otherwise result in back pain. When it comes to stomach sleeping with back pain, though, Julia points out that the “hips are digging down, and even though it’s a plush pillow top, I can see a lot of sleepless nights and potential back pain happening here.“

• Hip Pain – The Premier has a Euro top with two foam layers that help cushion your hips to relieve pain and pressure. In addition, the mid-range firmness allows a bit of sinkage, which is what we think most people with hip pain need.

• Shoulder Pain – Shoulder pain can be a struggle to fall asleep with, but we think this hybrid should provide sufficient pressure relief with its Euro top and two foam layers underneath.

The DreamCloud Premier mattress starts its support system with an 8.5-inch unit of individually wrapped coils that compress under the sleeper’s weight and should offer more tailored support and even alignment for most sleepers. “Lumbar support feels fantastic, just deducting a point for stomach sleeping as it dips slightly into the mattress.”, said Julia.

Although this mattress is a hybrid, it does a decent job of isolating motion. The mattress has multiple foam layers above the 8.5-inch coil unit, which helps with motion isolation. “Small movements are absorbed, but bigger ones, like getting in and out of bed, slightly shake the mattress,” shared Julia.

Although hybrid mattresses are more breathable than all-foam models, this bed has several foam layers on top of the coils. For this reason, it does get hotter than average hybrid beds. Therefore, if you’re someone who sleeps extra-hot, we recommend a better cooling mattress.

Although this isn’t a bouncy bed, Julia noticed a “quick reaction from [the] foam pillow top and coils.” The dynamic transition layer adds a bit of bounce to help sleepers reposition, which is especially useful for combination sleepers. However, don’t expect as much bounce as you’d get from an innerspring mattress, for example. 

“The reinforced edge support provided by the coil system lets you roll around right up to the edge of the bed without causing the mattress to stag,” said Emma. And while Julia agrees that lying near the edge of the bed feels stable, she didn’t feel stable when sitting.

Many couples enjoy beds that can provide bounce and motion isolation, and hybrids are among the best beds for that. Although the DreamCloud Premier doesn’t have the best bounce and motion isolation, we think it would work well for partners with similar sleeping habits. 

Julia said the Premier’s motion isolation is “fine.” She goes on to say, “You could feel major movements, such as getting in and out of bed or a big shift in sleep position.”

Preference-based Features

Euro Top

Speaking on the DreamCloud Premier’s surface, Emma remarked, “I would definitely need to shout out the cashmere cover.” The top two layers of foam in this bed are quilted to the cashmere blend cover, creating its Euro top finish (a type of pillow top), which gives the surface a pillowy, cloud-like look and feel. We think the Euro top is an excellent option for side sleepers seeking pressure relief and body-hugging.

Adjustable Base Compatible

This bed is compatible with all foundations, including adjustable bases.

Industry-Leading Warranty and Trial

When Julia tested this bed, she pointed out, “DreamCloud creates affordable mattresses with a luxury feel, with warranties [and] policies that I rarely see in the mattress sphere — like a lifetime warranty and a year-long sleep trial.”

Construction: What’s Inside the DreamCloud Premier?

The DreamCloud Premier works with all bed foundations, including adjustable bases. However, make sure to place it on a firm, solid base.

The cover is a cashmere blend quilted to two layers of foam to create the bed’s Euro top. According to Julia, this “screams expensive.” The top foam layer is memory foam, which allows the mattress to contour to your frame. This bed has five layers total, two of which are built into the cashmere cover, and it stands 14 inches tall.

• The Euro Top Cradle Layer is directly beneath the cover and is made of an inch of high-loft memory foam for gentle cradling.
• The Euro Top Support Layer is an inch of soft foam. This unit supports the upper layer while giving the Euro top extra plushness.
• Below the Euro top is the Dynamic Transition Layer. This foam is 2.5 inches thick and helps keep the spine supported while also easing you into the innerspring unit below.
• The coil unit is 8.5 inches thick. The unit contains both inner and perimeter coils for optimum edge support on all sides. In addition, the coils should help promote additional airflow throughout the bed to help you stay cool while also limiting motion transfer and making sure you’re well-supported.
• The base is an additional foam layer that’s 1 inch thick and provides the Premier with extra support and stability at the bottom.
• The Shift-Resistant Lower Cover helps hold the mattress in place.

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

Unboxing is simple, and there are handles placed on the sides to help you move the mattress into place. The mattress is compressed and shipped in a box, so it can take 24-72 hours to expand to its full 14-inch height. We noticed there is some manufacturing smell to the mattress, but this should dissipate by the time the mattress decompresses.

Certifications

• Eco-Friendly Certifications – This bed is CertiPUR-US® certified. This certification indicates that the foams have undergone testing that looks for unsafe levels of VOCs and other harsh chemicals that have historically been part of the manufacturing process of polyurethane foams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the DreamCloud Premier Mattress good for heavy people?

We don’t think the DreamCloud Premier would be good for heavy people because it likely won’t be supportive enough for them. Although it’s a hybrid with 8.5-inch coils, our mattress testers found that foam layers on top are too soft and would likely allow too much sinkage for people weighing more than average.

Is the DreamCloud Premier a firm mattress?

The DreamCloud Premier isn’t a firm mattress. Rather, we consider this bed to have a medium-firm feel, which we rated 6.5 out of 10. The good news, though, is that medium-firm beds are usually more accommodating for a wider range of sleepers.

How many years does a DreamCloud mattress last?

Like most hybrid mattresses, DreamCloud should last eight to 10 years. However, you have the highest chance of getting the most out of your bed by rotating it occasionally. Also, make sure nobody jumps on it as this can shorten its lifespan.

Do you need a box spring with a DreamCloud?

The DreamCloud Premier doesn’t require a box spring because it has coils that give it enough structure. The mattress can be placed on a box spring if you’d like, but you can also use a platform base, adjustable base, and a metal bed frame.
