Hey, guys. Marten here for Mattress Clarity. If you're looking for a luxury
hybrid mattress, it's also a good value. You've come to the right video
because today I'm talking about the DreamCloud mattress. I'm going to talk about
its construction, my experience with it, who it's a good fit for and who
who it's not a good fit for. Let's get started.
First off, if you want to see a list of our top picks for mattresses,
head over mattressclarity.com, they're going to find some great reviews on
mattresses, bedding pillows, and some great discounts on mattresses like
the DreamCloud. So DreamCloud now offers two mattresses,
the DreamCloud and the DreamCloud Premier. Today we're talking about the
DreamCloud. They're more affordable model. Now, while it is more affordable,
it still has some very nice luxury flourishes. I was excited to try
it out for myself. Let's hop in. So now let's take a look at the
construction of the DreamCloud bed mattress. First off, it's going to be 14
inches tall. Then starting on top and then working our way down.
We have a nice cashmere cover here. Very soft, very breathable as
well. It's going to be tough with foam to kind of add some plushiness to
the top of the mattress. Below that, you're going to have a layer of gel
memory foam, so soft it adds a little bit of pressure relief at the
top of the mattress. Also, gel infusion is going to help with cooling.
Below that, a foam transition layer that's going to be there to kind
of make sure you don't sink too far into the mattress and bottom out,
specifically when you're on your side. Below that, you're going to have your
support coils right here at the bottom of the mattress. And that all is
going to rest on a layer of thin foam as well.
So what does all that mean? Well, being a hybrid mattress, you get
a good balance of comfort and support from this kind of construction. So support
from the coils here, then comfort from the top, foam layers here on top of
the mattress. Now, speaking of breathability and cooling, it should
be a pretty breathable, cool sleeping mattress. Breathable cover,
gel infusion in the memory foam here. And also some breathability and
airflow with the coils here. And last but not least, speaking of durability,
looking at the coils here, the foams on top. This kind of matters
overall, probably say it's going to last for between six, seven and eight years.
And now let's talk about firmness and feel in terms of firmness.
I flip DreamCloud is around a seven and a half out of ten firmer than
average. Now, that is because on top of the mattress you have a little
bit of plushiness, but beneath that, it does get quite firm.
I do want to note, though, that I'm a larger person. I'm £250.
I'm pressing further into this mattress. If you're lighter than me, it might
feel softer to you, but for me, a seven and a half out of ten.
Now, speaking of feel, with that plushiness on top, you get
a little bit of soft comfort, but lying
on this mattress you kind of more feel the coil. So overall it has more
of a kind of classic inner spring mattress feel with some good bounce though,
and testing that out here, I mean, look at that, I can't even keep my
hand on the ball. Very bouncy,
very responsive, easy to move around on the DreamCloud bed. So now
let's talk about how I feel in different sleeping positions on the DreamCloud
Mattress. On my back, a very good match for me, a nice balance
of comfort and support. My hip sink in just the right amount, so good lumbar
support, a bit of contouring as well. So very nice for back sleeping.
Moving to my side though, I'm feeling some serious pressure on my shoulders and
my hips. I want to note though, I'm a larger person, I'm pressing further
into this mattress than a lighter person might. If you're in the lighter
and lighter than me, I'm £250. You might feel better. Pressure relief on
your shoulders and your hips at the same time.
Moving to my stomach, not quite supportive enough for me. I'm bowing
at the hips a little bit and I'm getting out of alignment. Here at Mattress
Clarity you like to make subjective opinion of 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 pay close attention to my sightseeing results, specifically
on my shoulders and my hips. Let's get started.
If you sleep with a partner, you also want to think about motion transfer.
Basically, you're lying 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?
Now to test the motion transfer out on the DreamCloud, replace the glass of
water here in the center,
pushing the other areas here. You can see it is disturbing the water quite
a bit. While there is memory foam in this mattress,
it's not too surprising to me that there is some motion transfer,
mostly because you have coils pretty high up in the mattress to
bounce your mattress overall, not really absorbing that motion.
Now, also, to test this out, I lay down on one side of the mattress
and Danny moved around on the other side, changed positions, got in and out of
bed, and I definitely felt his movements on my side of the mattress. So overall,
not the best handling of motion transfer with the DreamCloud bed. If you
sleep with a partner or you like sleeping towards the edge of the mattress,
you also want to think about edge support. Basically, you're sitting down or
lying down to the edge of a mattress, you feel secure or marketing to roll
off and onto the floor. So I'm sitting down near the edge of the DreamCloud
Bed. It is collapsing quite a bit even with these coils
in the mattress. Again, I'm a larger person, I'm 250 pounds. If you're lighter,
it might not be quite as much of an issue, but not getting the best
support in this position. Now, lying down on this mattress,
I'm lying pretty close to the edge, rolling around a little bit. It's collapsing
a little bit towards the edge. I don't feel like I'm going to fall off
per se, but overall not the best edge support with the DreamCloud Bed. So now
let's talk about the pros who I think the DreamCloud Mattress might be a good
fit for. First off, it's a very good option for back sleepers,
an excellent balance of comfort and support. Your hips sink in just the right
amount, good lumbar support, good overall support as well.
It's also a good option, I think for hot sleepers with these coils
in the construction, a lot of room for airflow. Also, a breathable
cover shouldn't trap too much heat, should make for a cooler night of
sleep. And last but not least, if you want more of a responsive
mattress that makes it easy to move around, the DreamCloud Bed is definitely a
good option for you. While it does have memory foam in its construction,
it's still overall a bouncier mattress, not too hard to reposition
at night. And now let's talk about the cons who I think the DreamCloud Mattress
might not be the best fit for. First off, I don't think it's the best
choice for side sleepers. It is on the firmer end, so lying underside
on this mattress, you might feel some pressure on your shoulders and your hips.
I think in general not the best option for heavier people.
Well, it does have coils in the construction. They aren't the most supportive
coil. So if you're a much larger person over £250,
closer to £300, you might want to look for a more supportive mattress
overall. And then last but not least, if you like more of
a slow moving memory foam feel with your mattress, that's not really
what you get with the DreamCloud Bed. It does have memory foam in its
construction, but has more of a bouncy, responsive feel overall.
If you're taking a look at the DreamCloud Bed mattress, you might want to know
how it compares to the DreamCloud Premier. Let's do that right now.
First off, they're going to be some construction differences. Basically,
the DreamCloud Premier is a more substantial mattress than the
DreamCloud. There are more layers in the comfort section of the mattress.
Also, the DreamCloud Premier is a plusHR mattress than
the DreamCloud, so the feel is slightly different with the
DreamCloud Premier. More of kind of a plush kind of pillow topping
feel on top of the mattress over with the DreamCloud Bed Premier. Overall,
more of kind of an inner spring mattress feel. Now, in terms
of firmness, the DreamCloud is going to be firmer than the DreamCloud Premiere.
And also in terms of price, the DreamCloud is going to cost less than the
DreamCloud Premier. So who should get one and who should get the other?
In terms of who should get the DreamCloud Mattress, it's a better option for
those who want something firmer and those who are looking to save money. In
terms of who should get the DreamCloud Bed Premier definitely a better option,
I think, for side sleepers, those who prefer something on the softer end,
those who want something more substantial overall. And now let's talk about how
the DreamCloud Premiere compares to the Saatva mattress, one of its main competitors.
There are going to be some construction differences,
mainly in the support layer
of the mattress. So with the DreamCloud Bed, one set of coils with
the Saatva, two set of coils support coils, and micro coils on top of
that going to be some slight feel differences as well.
So if you thought it was going to have more of an inner spring feel
with a pillow top on top of that, I was getting more of an overall
inner spring feel from the DreamCloud Mattress. In terms
of firmness, we found the Saatva to be softer than the DreamCloud.
And in terms of price, the DreamCloud is going to be a little bit
more affordable than the Saatva. So who should get one and who should
get the other? In terms of who should get the DreamCloud Bed between the two,
a better option for stomach sleepers, and also those who want to save
a little bit of money on their mattress purchase. Now, in terms of who should
get the Saatva, I think a better option for sight sleepers in
general. Also, those want to get something a little bit more substantial, a
little bit more durable. The DreamCloud Bed is a bed in a box mattress,
so it's going to come to your house in a cardboard box. How do you
unbox it? Well, first off, take it inside with the help of a friend.
You don't want to strain yourself. The box can be quite heavy.
Then take the box into your bedroom, open it up and take out the rolled
up mattress. Now place that on your framer foundation and slowly,
carefully cut the layers of plastic. You don't want to damage your brand new
mattress. Then clear away the plastic, all the packing materials.
Give it about 24 to 48 hours to completely expand and you're good to
go. So now I have to give you some additional information about the DreamCloud
Mattress. First off, it comes with free shipping and returns a 365
night sleep trial, a lifetime warranty to offer
other mattress models, accessories, and financing as well.
So now I'd like to answer some frequently asked questions about the DreamCloud
Mattress. The first question is, is the DreamCloud a good mattress
and I would say it's a good mattress but it's more about what you're looking
for. I think if you are a back sleeper you want something more
breathable. You also want a very nice luxury kind of hybrid mattress
for an affordable price. The DreamCloud bed is definitely a good mattress for
you. Second question is, is the DreamCloud bed good for side sleepers?
In my opinion, it's not the best option for side sleepers. It is
on the firmer end. Unless you're much lighter, you're probably not going to get
the best pressure relief on the dream cloud. The last question is
do you need a box spring with the DreamCloud mattress now
according to the company, you do not need a box spring with this mattress but
you can use a box spring with the DreamCloud. In the end, I think
a DreamCloud is a good option for back sleepers, hot sleepers and those who
want something a little bit more more responsive, but that's about it. Just
