Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid vs DreamCloud Classic: Which affordable mattress should you buy?
Type: HybridFirmness option: FirmHeight: 12'Sizes: 7Sleep trial: 365 nightsWarranty: LifetimePrice (MSRP): from $1,148 at DreamCloud
Offering comfort and support in spades, the DreamCloud Classic and Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid are both great options for those looking for a responsive hybrid mattress at a relatively affordable price. You'll never find either mattress sold at full price, and both offer excellent value for money. But which is the right hybrid mattress for you?
Both brands feature in our guide to the best mattresses of 2025 and we rate the DreamCloud Classic as the best value mattress currently on the market. But that's not to say that the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid doesn't have its positives — the choice of firmness options means it's easier to tweak this bed to your exact specifications. Is this personalization right for you or will the all-round support of the DreamCloud be more suitable?
With permanent mattress sales on offer at both brands, there's always a great deal to be found. And if you're looking for the best back to school sleep and dorm mattress deals for your college kids, these two brands should be on your list to consider. Read on to find out more about each mattress so you can decide which is your perfect fit…
Regular sales at both brands mean you'll never pay full price for either mattress. Brooklyn Bedding mattress sales have 25% off mattresses throughout the year, although we have seen this rise to 30% at some major sales events (keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Labor Day mattress sales.) A queen is usually reduced to $999 (MSRP $1,332) but if you want to add in the optional cooling pillow top, that price will rise to $1,299 (MSRP $1,732.)
DreamCloud has recently lowered the MSRP of the original mattress, meaning a queen retails at full price for $1,698. However, regular DreamCloud mattress deals mean you'll never pay that price, with a queen currently selling for $649. There's also the option to add in a heavily discounted bedding bundle, consisting of pillows, sheet set and mattress protector.
Extras wise, the DreamCloud wins out here with a 365-night trial – you'll get 120 nights with the Brooklyn Bedding. Both offer a lifetime warranty and free shipping.
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid: twin was from $665 now from $498.75 at Brooklyn BeddingWith a choice of firmness options, it's easy to pick the mattress that suits your sleeping style best. Offering excellent support and motion isolation, the Signature Hybrid is always reduced by at least 25%, taking a queen down to $999 (MSRP $1,332). You'll also get a 120-night trial, lifetime warranty and free shipping.
DreamCloud Classic Mattress: twin was from $1,148 now from $399 at DreamCloudAlways discounted, you shouldn't ever need to pay full MSRP for the DreamCloud Classic. Currently a queen size mattress is reduced to $649, which is an excellent price for a mattress that offers a high-quality, comfortable sleep. Extras are good, with a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty and free shipping.
Like the best hybrid mattresses, both beds consist of a coil support layer and a combination of foams for comfort. The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid's design varies slightly, depending on which firmness version you've chosen. The soft and medium mattresses start with a 1.5' quilted cover designed to help wick away moisture, followed by a 1.5' layer of responsive comfort foam to adjust to your sleeping position.
A 1' layer of transition foam sits on top of the individually wrapped coil layer for contouring and motion isolation, and the mattress is finished off with a foam base for durability and longevity. The firm mattress has a slightly thinner quilted cover at 0.75', followed by 1' of the responsive comfort foam. A slightly thicker layer of transition foam at 2' provides more support and the slightly firmer feel.
The DreamCloud Classic is the newest version of the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid and has undergone a few small design changes. The mattress starts with a quilted top with cooling fibers and a stitched in foam layer for breathability. This is followed by a layer of contouring memory foam to relieve pressure. Adaptive response foam for spinal alignment sits on top of the layer of individually wrapped coils for support and reducing motion transfer, with a thin layer of dense foam underneath to stabilize the mattress. Finally, a protective bottom cover keeps the mattress in place and helps with longevity.
In our Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress review, our tester slept on the firm bed along with the optional pillow top. But our Sleep Editor has also tried out the medium firmness without the pillow top. Either way, you won't sink into the surface of the Signature Hybrid but, like the best pillow top mattresses, the optional pillow top does add a little softness. The choice of three firmness options means the mattress will suit a variety of sleepers – the soft is best suited to side sleepers, while the medium will suit side and back sleepers. The firm is best suited to back and stomach sleepers or those of a larger build. That said, the inclusion of a pillow top will soften the firmness up a little, but this is still a bed for those who prefer a bouncy and supportive feel. Motion isolation is also excellent, but edge support is a bit average in the corners and at the foot of the bed.
DreamCloud has recently redesigned its signature mattress and the Luxury Hybrid that we reviewed in our DreamCloud mattress review is now the Classic, which we are in the process of reviewing. However, the mattress is still fundamentally the same and we expect the feel to be similar. We rate the DreamCloud as one of the best mattresses for back pain, with its fantastic ability to adapt quickly to the lumbar region and soothe away aches and pains. The DreamCloud is a great all-rounder, but our side sleepers did find it took a while for the mattress to mold to their bodies. While very lightweight side sleepers may find it too firm overall, that firmer support does make it one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers. Motion isolation and edge support are great and those sharing a bed with a restless partner should definitely put this mattress on their shortlist.
Hybrid mattresses are generally more breathable than all-foam so the expectation was that both these mattresses would provide good temperature regulation. However, our tester found that the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid slept hot – so much so that they woke up in the night feeling uncomfortable. This was particularly surprising as the cooling pillow top contains GlacioTex – usually found in some of the best cooling mattresses due to its abilities to keep sleepers cool.
Hot sleepers will be better served on the DreamCloud Classic. Although the design has changed slightly, the mattress contains cooling fibers built into a cover that's extremely breathable. The additional of well-spaced coils means this mattress will be a better option if you do sleep hot.
✅ You want a range of customization options: Available in soft, medium and firm firmness options, you can also choose whether or not to add in a pillow top for added softness.
✅ You need an unusual size: With 14 sizes to choose from, including a range of RV mattress sizes, the Signature Hybrid will fit any unusual space.
✅ You want to lie on top of the mattress: If the idea of the 'hug' of memory foam brings you out in a rash, the firmer and bouncier feel of the Signature Hybrid could be your perfect blend.
✅ You sleep on your back: Although it's comfortable for all sleeping positions, back sleepers in particular should find the DreamCloud extremely supportive around the lumbar region.
✅ You experience with aches and pains: The DreamCloud is one of the mattresses we recommend to those with back pain, thanks to its soothing lumbar support.
✅ You sleep hot: Although it's not a cooling mattress the DreamCloud is incredibly breathable and offers great temperature regulation.

August recess can't hide tensions ahead for Congress on spending and Trump nominations
WASHINGTON — Lawmakers have left Washington for the annual August recess, but a few weeks of relative quiet on the U.S. Capitol grounds can't mask the partisan tensions that are brewing on government funding and President Trump's nominees. It could make for a momentous September. Here's a look at what's ahead when lawmakers return after the Labor Day holiday. Lawmakers will use much of September to work on spending bills for the coming budget year, which begins Oct. 1. They likely will need to pass a short-term spending measure to keep the government funded for a few weeks while they work on a longer-term measure that covers the full year. It's not unusual for leaders from both parties to blame the other party for a potential shutdown, but the rhetoric began extra early this year, signaling the threat of a stoppage is more serious than usual. On Monday, Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries sent their Republican counterparts a sharply-worded letter calling for a meeting to discuss 'the government funding deadline and the health care crisis you have visited upon the American people.' They said it will take bipartisanship to avert a 'painful, unnecessary shutdown.' 'Yet it is clear that the Trump Administration and many in your party are preparing to go it alone and continue to legislate on a solely Republican basis,' said the letter sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Republicans have taken note of the warnings and are portraying the Democrats as itching for a shutdown they hope to blame on the GOP. 'It was disturbing to hear the Democrat leader threaten to shut down the government in his July 8 Dear Colleague letter,' Thune said on Saturday. '... I really hope that Democrats will not embrace that position but will continue to work with Republicans to fund the government.' So far, the House has approved two of the 12 annual spending bills, mostly along party lines. The Senate has passed three on a strongly bipartisan basis. The House is pursuing steep, non-defense spending cuts. The Senate is rejecting many of those cuts. One side will have to give. And any final bill will need some Democratic support to generate the 60 votes necessary to get a spending measure to the finish line. Some Democratic senators are also wanting assurances from Republicans that there won't be more efforts in the coming weeks to claw back or cancel funding already approved by Congress. 'If Republicans want to make a deal, then let's make a deal, but only if Republicans include an agreement they won't take back that deal a few weeks later,' said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., a veteran member of the House Appropriations committee, said the Democratic minority in both chambers has suffered so many legislative losses this year, 'that they are stuck between a rock and their voting base.' Democrats may want to demonstrate more resistance to Trump, but they would rue a shutdown, he warned. 'The reality would be, if the government were shut down, the administration, Donald Trump, would have the ability to decide where to spend and not spend,' Fleischmann said. 'Schumer knows that, Jeffries knows that. We know that. I think it would be much more productive if we start talking about a short-term (continuing resolution.)' Republicans are considering changes to Senate rules to get more of Trump's nominees confirmed. Thune said last week that during the same point in Joe Biden's presidency, 49 of his 121 civilian nominees had been confirmed on an expedited basis through a voice vote or a unanimous consent request. Trump has had none of his civilian nominees confirmed on an expedited basis. Democrats have insisted on roll call votes for all of them, a lengthy process than can take days. 'I think they're desperately in need of change,' Thune said of Senate rules for considering nominees. 'I think that the last six months have demonstrated that this process, nominations, is broken. And so I expect there will be some good robust conversations about that.' Schumer said a rules change would be a 'huge mistake,' especially as Senate Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass spending bills and other legislation moving forward. The Senate held a rare weekend session as Republicans worked to get more of Trump's nominees confirmed. Negotiations focused on advancing dozens of additional Trump nominees in exchange for some concessions on releasing some already approved spending. At times, lawmakers spoke of progress on a potential deal. But it was clear that there would be no agreement when Trump attacked Schumer on social media Saturday evening and told Republicans to pack it up and go home. 'Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL!' Trump posted on Truth Social. Freking writes for the Associated Press. AP writers Mary Clare Jalonick and Joey Cappelletti contributed to this report.

Just about every retailer under the sun will be getting in on the savings too.

Until the holiday weekend arrives, we're counting down to the shopping event with all the info you need to know and even some early deals. Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air M4 On top of heralding the end of summer, Labor Day also kicks off back-to-school season. Leading the pack on all of these early deals, a $200 discount on our pick for the best laptop couldn't have landed at a better time.

Just $18 gets you six ways to take notes in class (or maybe even doodle a bit). Each one has a different color, so you can color-code notebooks to their specific subjects. Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket This packable jacket is always at the top of our list of buys as we head into cooler weather. After all, there's a reason why it's one of Patagonia's signature pieces of outerwear, and we love it even more at 30% off in men's and women's styles. It features a lightweight design that will keep you warm as temperatures begin dropping after Labor Day. Weber Spirit EP-325 3-Burner Propane Grill If your backyard could use an upgrade before that Labor Day weekend party, this Weber grill is seeing an end-of-season discount of $100. This is one of the lowest prices our deals expert has tracked on this three-burner upgrade to your grilling setup.

Several styles are $100 off with this second-ever discount. Read our review Osprey Arcane Large Day Bag Whether you plan on using this bag to store books this semester or want to bring it on a fall hiking trip, this early Labor Day discount on Osprey's Arcade Day Bag makes it a better companion. Save $30 at REI for a limited time in several colors. Skylight Calendar We recently named this digital calendar as one of the best gifts for the Type A mom in your life who loves syncing everyone's schedule. Just before the back-to-school season really amps up, you can save $50 with a rare deal at Best Buy. Anker 8-in-1 20W Charging Station Tidy up your nightstand charging setup or send your college student back to the dorms with a power plug that can keep all of their gear topped off. This 8-in-1 solution from Anker can power different devices with its four AC outlets, dual USB-C slots and a pair of USB-A ports. Labor Day 2025, unofficially known as the end of summer, lands on Monday, Sept. 1. So there's just under a month left to enjoy the season before fall begins rolling in. Early deals are already beginning to go live. I've been covering holiday weekends like Labor Day for almost a decade. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that year after year, the deals keep starting earlier and earlier. So, if we share an all-time low discount or the best price of the year on something that catches your eye, it's not necessarily worth waiting until the actual holiday weekend. In some cases, the best deals even sell out before we actually make it to Labor Day. Just about every major retailer will be offering Labor Day deals. As summer comes to an end and shoppers begin shifting their focus to the winter holiday months towards the end of 2025, Labor Day serves as a first look at what those end-of-year deals will look like. The savings this year will include everything from big-name storefronts like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart, as well as specialized retailers like Apple, Lululemon and Sephora. I also expect massive sales at home improvement stores such as The Home Depot and Lowe's. It entirely depends on what you're shopping for. Just like previous tentpole events, the best Labor Day deals aren't going to be found at just a single retailer. Luckily, you can leave it to us at CNN Underscored to scour the internet for you. No need to comparison shop among websites; I'll already be doing that. Kick back and enjoy the last few weeks of summer while we do the hard work for you. The deals team and I are constantly researching all the season's best deals. That, of course, carries over to events like the upcoming holiday weekend, so you can cut right to saving. Each team member, including CNN Underscored's deals editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate deals editor Elena Matarazzo, is dialed into specific beats to help surface the best of the best deals. That means you can trust us to deliver shopping expertise on how to save and what gear and gadgets are worth your money. Quite simply, our goal is to save you money. Our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, has been doing it for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our team of deals editors. Being an advocate for buyers to ensure we're only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we're all about.
