Dreamcloud or Nectar? Which mattress should you choose? Hey guys,
Marten here for Mattress Clarity. Today we're talking about just that.
We're going to talk about their similarities, their differences, my experience
of both and help you choose one over the other. Let's get started.
First off, you want to see a list of our top picks for mattresses.
Head over to Mattress Clarity. They're going to find some great reviews on
mattresses, bedding pillows, and some great discounts on mattresses
like the DreamCloud and the Nectar. You'll also find some great exclusive
coupons in the description below. So let's start off by
talking about the similarities between these two mattresses. And there are
not a lot of similarities. But first off, they both come from the same
company, so save great customer service terms, warranties and trials.
They're both very popular online mattresses. And last but not
least, they both feature memory foam somewhere in their construction. And now
let's talk about the differences between these two mattress. First off,
there are going to be some major construction differences. The DreamCloud kind
of has a classic inner spring design. The Nectar has more of a classic all
foam design. Speaking of feel, the DreamCloud is going to have more of a kind
of classic inner spring feel. The Nectar a classic memory foam feel.
In terms of firmness, we found the Nectar to be a little bit softer than
the DreamCloud. In terms of price, the DreamCloud is going to cost a
little bit less than the Nectar mattress at full price. And last
but not least, the Nectar is going to be not quite as breathable as the
DreamCloud. And now let's talk about the construction of both these mattresses.
Starting off on top and then working our way down. First off,
in terms of the cover with the DreamCloud Mattress, a cashmere cover tufted
with some foam. It's very breathable. It kind of has a little bit of that
plush feel right on top of the mattress. Moving over to the Nectar. It's going
to be a Tencel cover. Very breathable is going to help with cooling as well.
Moving down to the main comfort layers on these mattress. On the DreamCloud
mattress, a layer of gel memory foam, a little bit of pressure relief right on
top of the mattress. And below that, a foam transition layer
moving over to the Nectar mattress. On top, gel memory foam, but thicker
than what you find over on the DreamCloud Mattress. Very slow moving,
more of that kind of slow moving memory foam feel. Right on top of the
Nectar. Below that, a layer of high core memory foam.
So even slower moving in the top layer, but a little bit firmer as
well. It also will act as a transition layer, keep it from sinking too far
into the mattress. Now, speaking of the support layers on the DreamCloud,
you are going to have individually wrapped coils, very supportive,
very breathable. As well. Moving over to the Nectar. Some base
support foam. So what does all that mean? Well, first off,
major construction differences here an inner spring mattress, kind of also
a hybrid design as well versus an allfoam mattress. So a very
different experience with both these mattress.
Speaking of durability, a close call is going between these two mattresses.
Some high quality material should both last for at least I'd say five to
seven years. And last but not least, speaking of breathability
and cooling, they both do have some cooling features in their construction,
but I would give the advantage to the DreamCloud Mattress with those coils.
A lot more room for airflow. Shouldn't trap as much heat as the Nectar.
And now let's talk about firmness and feel. In terms of firmness, I thought the
DreamCloud is close to a seven and a half out of ten firmer than
average. And the Nectar was close to a six and a half out of ten.
About medium. In terms of firmness, the DreamCloud definitely has kind of a
firmer feel overall because of the coils with the neck or some more sloping
foam on top to give you some more pressure relief. Feels a little softer
overall. Now speaking of feel, with the DreamCloud Mattress, kind of
has a classic inner spring mattress feel. That means it's bouncier.
It's more responsive. Easy to move around on this mattress.
With the Nectar. Not so easy to move around. It has more of that
classic memory foam feel. Slow moving. You slowly sink into the
mattress. Very comfortable, but not so easy to change positions at night.
And now let's talk about how I feel in different sleeping positions on the Dream
Cloud and The Nectar. Starting off with the DreamCloud Mattress on my back.
A good balance of comfort and support. Hip sinking a bit, not too far.
Good overall support. So very good for back sleeping.
Moving to my side though, it is a firmer than average mattress. Way too much
pressure on my shoulders and my hips. Not too comfortable in this position.
Moving to my stomach. While it is firmer than average, I sleep a little bit
more support under my hips. I'm going in there and I'm getting out of alignment.
Moving over to the Nectar. Starting on my back. Also good match for
back sleeping. A good balance of comfort and support. It's softer
than the Dream Cloud, so I'm definitely sinking further into the mattress. But
that being said, great contouring and good support as well.
Moving to my side. Good pressure relief on my shoulders and my hips.
Much better than I felt on the Dream Cloud. Moving to my stomach,
I'm definitely not getting enough support on the Nectar mattress. My hips are
going in. I'm definitely getting out of alignment here at Mattress Clarity. I
like to make subjective opinion with objective tests, and one of those tests
is the pressure map. So I lie down on my backside and stomach. You see
anywhere from blue for no pressure all the way up to red for high pressure.
Now let's pull up the sides of the results for both these mattresses, the green
cloud on the left and the Nectar on the right. And pay close attention
to my shoulders and my hips. If you sleep with the partners,
two things you do want to think about it's motion transfer and edge support.
Now, motion transfer means relying down on one side of the mattress and your
partner moves around on the other side. Are you going to feel that motion or
not? Edge support means you're sitting or lying down at the
edge of that mattress. Do you feel secure working to roll off and onto
the floor? So first off, speaking of motion transfer, I would give
the clear advantage to the Nectar slow moving memory foam right on top of
the mattress, really absorbing more of that motion than what you find with the
Dream Cloud. Now speaking of edge support, I would also give the advantage to
the Nectar. I personally feel more secure sitting and lying down to the edge of
the mattress. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for,
which one of these mattresses should you get in terms of who should get the
DreamCloud Mattress? A better option for those who prefer an inner spring
mattress has coils in. It has more of that classic inner spring feel,
a little bit more bouncy. If you like that feel like that experience, go with
the Dream Cloud. Also better option for hot sleepers with
the coils, a lot more room for airflow, a more breathable mattress
and more cooling mattress as well. Last but not least, those prefer
a firmer mattress. Overall, you definitely get that with the DreamCloud
Mattress. Just like a firmer mattress where you have less give.
Take a look at the Dream Cloud in terms of who should get the Nectar
mattress. A better option for those who like that slow moving memory
foam feel. If you like to lie on your mattress and slowly sink
in, you definitely get that feel from the Nectar. It's also a better option
for those who prefer a softer mattress. So if you like a mattress with more
give, again you sink in further into the mattress. Take a look at the
Nectar. And last but not least, I think it's a better option
for side sleepers. Soften the Dream Cloud. More pressure leaving
you should feel much less pressure on your shoulders and your hips.
So the DreamCloud and the Nectar are both bed in a boxed mattress. They're going
to come to your house in a cardboard box. So how do you unbox it?
Well, it's very easy to follow these instructions. First off,
ask a friend for help. These mattresses are heavy. You don't want to strain or
hurt yourself. So bring that box inside and then bring it into
your bedroom. Open up the top of the box and take out your rolled up
mattress. Place this on the framer foundation and
then slowly, carefully cut the layers of plastic. You don't want to damage
your brand new mattress. Then give the mattress about 24 to 48 hours
off gas and expand and you're good to go and I'd like to give you
some additional information about the DreamCloud and the Nectar mattress.
First off they come with free shipping and returns a 365
night sleep trial a forever warranty. They offer other mattress models
