I've been sleeping on the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress for one week — here's what I wish it did better
DreamCloud is known for its highly-rated affordable luxury hybrid mattresses, but did you know it also makes all-foam versions of its popular beds? This month, I'm testing the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress which is the brand's entry-level model and starts at just $299 for a twin. Don't be deceived by that starting cost, though. The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid — which we consider one of the best mattresses of 2025 — is cheaper overall. And the two share similar construction, although the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress swaps wrapped coils for a high-density foam core. Type: All-foam Materials: Memory foam, polyfoam, polyester and viscose (cover)Brand-rated firmness (1-10): 9Height: 12" Trial period: 365 nights Warranty: Lifetime Sale price: From $299 at DreamCloud I'll be publishing my full DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress review next month once I've had more time to adjust to the feel. In the meantime, I'm sharing my first-week impressions as someone who's tested dozens of mattresses, including the previous DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid. At this point, I can say there's a lot to like about the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress — notably, I'm not overheating even while trying to sleep in a heatwave. However, it suffers from one major flaw that's led to some achy mornings. Keep reading to learn more about my first week with the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress. The DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress costs $299 for a twin and $799 for a queen. These are the standard prices we see during the year-round DreamCloud mattress sale (although we spotted an extra 15% off in a recent flash sale.) Hybrid mattresses typically cost more than all-foam ones but that's not the case here. DreamCloud charges up to $200 more for its Classic Memory Foam Mattress but, slightly confusingly, the twin-size is $100 less than its hybrid counterpart. Here are the current sale prices for the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress, accompanied by the price differential versus the Classic Hybrid: As always, DreamCloud includes a lifetime mattress warranty. a one-year sleep trial and free shipping and returns. Occasionally, the brand throws in free pillows, sheets and a mattress protector with purchase, valued at up to $599. DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress (queen): $799 at DreamCloudThis updated version of the DreamCloud memory foam mattress costs about $150 more than the sale price of its predecessor but the Classic sports a sleeker design (at the expense of side carry handles) with a new cooling cover to help soothe you to sleep. This discount has held steady at DreamCloud for quite a while, although we briefly saw it for 15% less during a flash sale that coincided with Amazon Prime Week. My twin-size DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress arrived at my front door two days after placing the order. DreamCloud says that delivery usually takes 2-5 business days, although shipping time can vary by model and size. At 41lbs, I didn't have much difficulty hauling the mattress by myself but I would recommend getting help with setup if you have a larger bed than I do. Even a queen-size DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress weighs 69lbs. If you're unfamiliar with how to set up a mattress in a box, DreamCloud includes a QR code to scan for instructions. I found set up easy and was able to unravel most of the plastic by hand, using a cutter to slice the packaging to let the mattress expand. There was little off-gassing — the chemical smell that often accompanies boxed mattresses upon unpacking — but not enough to require cracking open a window. Good news, since we were in the middle of a heatwave. One reason why a vacuum-wrapped mattress may emit off-gassing is that it's been boxed up for a long time. According to the tag on my test mattress, it was manufactured in June 2025, the same month it arrived at my home. (Keep in mind, the DreamCloud Classic is still a relatively new model. For older boxed mattress models, there's a higher chance you'll receive stock that's been sitting in a warehouse for several months.) My DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress felt stable enough to sleep on that night. According to DreamCloud, it could take up to 72 hours for the mattress to expand, noting airflow and temperature may impact the process. I recently reviewed the Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress, a 12" combo of foam and springs that I found supportive enough for back and front sleeping but not as contouring as I would have liked for side sleeping. Height: 5' 4"Weight: 145-150lbsSleep style: Combi (side/stomach)Sleep issues: Lower back pain, occasional overheatingShare a bed: No As someone who's tested DreamCloud's previous entry-level hybrid, one of our favorite hybrid mattresses for all sleep styles, I was expecting a firmer bed feel but my first impression of the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam was that it felt cushy, albeit supportive. I rate it a 6.5 out of 10 on the mattress firmness scale. Interestingly, DreamCloud — which previously marketed all its mattresses as a "just right" medium-firm — recently updated the product page for the Classic Memory Foam Mattress and now calls it extra firm, claiming ample support with minimal give. Of course, firmness is subjective but I think DreamCloud had it right the first time. After my first night on the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress I was optimistic it might give me the balance of contouring and support I'd felt was missing from the similarly priced Siena Premier. Unfortunately, as the week went on, I had to readjust my expectations — and not for the better. Mid-week, I found if I spent the night lying on my side I'd wake up with a sore lower back. I'd settle into bed just fine but my hips would gradually sink too low during the night, causing uncomfortable misalignment across my spine. For context, I normally sleep on the Cloverlane Hybrid Mattress, a 15" hybrid with dedicated lumbar support. As someone with a history of back pain who also carries most of my weight in my mid-section, I was truly missing those extra support features. It's not all bad, though. One afternoon I had a quick nap while lying on my back. I don't normally sleep that way but on the Classic Memory Foam, the even weight distribution made it much more comfortable. But I enjoy side sleeping too much to give it up entirely. This is still early in the testing process, however, so maybe with further use the DreamCloud will come closer to the feel I expect from the best mattresses for side sleepers. Meanwhile, the CloudQuilt cover, woven with cooling fibers, doesn't feel much different than the previous cashmere-blend cover (which was mostly polyester anyway.) Despite the lack of a cool-to-the-touch sensation, I didn't overheat at all during the first week. A major win considering even the best memory foam mattresses can trap heat. The even weight distribution made [back sleeping] more comfortable The edge support is average, which isn't unusual for an all-foam mattress. I sink when I sit on the sides but I never worry I'm going to fall off the bed. The edges also feel sturdy enough when I lean over to grab something from the floor. Since I sleep solo on a small bed, I'll be sharing the results of my objective motion isolation drop tests in my complete review — but given the hybrid DreamCloud's ability to dampen movement and the fact that this is an all-foam mattress, I'm optimistic it'll perform well in this area. As a side sleeper with back pain who had a positive experience sleeping on the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress, I'm disappointed with the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress... so far. I appreciate that it's not super firm, despite DreamCloud's suggested firmness rating, but the resulting lower back pain isn't a good trade-off. I'm hoping as I break the mattress in, I'll enjoy more even weight distribution. The design changes only elevate its luxury aesthetic But that's not a critique of its quality. The DreamCloud looks and feels like a premium mattress and the design changes only elevate its luxury aesthetic. (That said, I miss the side handles when I'm trying to change the sheets.) I'm also glad that I haven't woken up in a sweat, especially during another brutal Mid-Atlantic summer. Is the CloudQuilt Cover pulling its weight here? Perhaps. But I'd still recommend a proper cooling mattress for sleepers who deal with severe overheating. Unfortunately, right now the DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress isn't providing me with the support I need to rest comfortably on my side, as my hips sink too low. On the other hand, I enjoy this mattress for back sleeping. But as it's not the sleep position I choose for preference, I'm unsure if the DreamCloud will be right for me in the long-term. So I'll also be collecting feedback from a panel of testers with diverse sleep needs and body types to see how they fare. And I'm not writing this mattress off yet, as I'm giving myself a whole month to adjust. Stay tuned for my full DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam Mattress review to find out if it winds up being the mattress of my dreams or a nightmare for my lower back. I'll also be sharing deeper insights regarding its motion isolation, pressure relief, and edge support.

The DreamCloud mattress we tested and loved drops to $549 for a queen in epic Prime Day deal
The DreamCloud is a luxury hybrid mattress that appeals to both your pocket and your sleep needs. Right now, you can buy a queen size DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid for $549 at Amazon in an epic Prime Day deal. The DreamCloud mattress is not only one of the best mattresses you'll find online, it's also one of the best value for money. This Prime Day sleep deal means you'll can save up to $186 off of the usual sale price. My team of mattress testers and I have been scouting Amazon Prime Day mattress deals all morning and we're yet to find a deal that tops this one. Here's why now is THE time to buy the DreamCloud mattress at Amazon... DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress: twin was $419 now $319 at AmazonThe 12" DreamCloud mattress is one of the best hybrid mattress you can buy, offering outstanding quality and comfort for its low price point. We rate it an 8 out of 10 for firmness and found it suits all sleep positions (though side sleepers benefit from a break-in period.) After a 17% discount on the usual sale price, a queen is $549 (was $665) for Prime members. It's worth noting that this is the previous generation model, but it's still an outstanding bed that's well worth buying at this price. DreamCloud's forever warranty and one-year sleep trial still apply and Amazon will deliver your new mattress for free. For reference, a queen is $699 at DreamCloud. Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★½ (based on 1,000+ reviews) The main reason we love the DreamCloud mattress is because it's as luxurious as it is affordable, offering budget shoppers great value for money, support and comfort. That's why it's one of our top luxury mattress picks. We enrolled various sleepers to test this mattress. We found it latched on the firmer side of medium-firm. While heavier sleepers were most comfortable regardless of their sleep position, lighter-weight sleepers, particularly those who lay on their side through the night, weren't immediately comfortable. It took them a few nights of sleeping on the mattress for it soften and give more cushioning along pressure points. With limited climate control tech besides a breathable cashmere-blend cover, the DreamCloud doesn't quite make our best cooling mattress guide, which means that very hot sleepers should head towards cooler hybrids such as the Bear Elite mattress. However, our tester was pleasantly surprised that the DreamCloud kept them cool and comfortable through the night. Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $549 now $466.64 at AmazonWe rate the 13" Nectar Premier memory foam mattress as a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale and think it is the best memory foam mattress online this year. This means it has much more give than the DreamCloud, making it more suitable to side sleepers who like a hugging feel from their mattress. A queen size will usually set you back $949 at Nectar, yet it's just $806.64 at Amazon this Prime Day and you still get a lifetime warranty and a year's trial. Yes, it's more expensive than the DreamCloud, but it is a more premium bed. Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★½ (based on 8,070+ reviews)

DreamCloud launches huge rival Prime Day flash deal — buy a queen Classic Hybrid Mattress for just $594
The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress promises luxury support at a mid-range price, and it's even cheaper thanks to a huge rival Prime Day flash mattress sale. On top of a regular 60% sale, you can now save an extra 15% on the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid at DreamCloud, reducing a queen to $594 from the regular sale price of $699. The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is a new-and-improved version of the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid, a bed that currently sits in our best mattress of 2025 guide thanks to its sheer value for money and overall comfort. The updated Classic Hybrid continues the Luxury Hybrid's legacy by offering a premium-quality design at a relatively lower cost. We're also tracking this week's best Amazon Prime Day mattress sales, but let's take a closer look at why this DreamCloud flash sale is well worth a look... DreamCloud Classic: twin was $399 now $356 at DreamCloudThe DreamCloud Classic is one of the best hybrid mattresses on the market, punching well beyond its mid-range price tag. While we haven't had a chance to test the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid, we tested its predecessor for our DreamCloud Mattress review. We found the original offered ample support and a luxury feel at a great price (we even recommend it as a cheaper alternative to the Saatva Classic.) DreamCloud mattress sales usually linger at the 60% off mark, but this flash discount that takes off an extra 15% the usual sale price. That brings a queen down to $594 from the normal price of $699. Plus, extras include a 365-night sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and a lifetime warranty —extras that beat that of the best luxury mattress on the market: the Saatva Classic (Saatva doesn't offer free returns). User score: ★★★★★½ (9,200+ reviews) Earlier this year, DreamCloud announced that they were discontinuing the flagship DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid (which is still our No 1 pick for best mattress in a box), and bringing in a newer model: the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid. Both the Classic and it's predecessor sit at 12" tall, but beneath the covers you'll find three internal layers instead of four. Plus, its signature cashmere cover has been updated with cooling fibers for enhanced temperature-regulation. The individually-wrapped coils are slightly shorter, too. Prefer the sound of the original DreamCloud? It's still available to buy from Amazon... DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress: twin was $419 now $319 at AmazonThe DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid was one of our favorite mattresses on the market before it was discontinued. It impressed our testers with its firm support and breathable cashmere cover, and so we have high hopes for the new revamped version. A new Prime Day mattress deal reduces the original to $549 (was $665) for a queen, and you can still get the DreamCloud one-year trial and forever warranty.

DreamCloud, Nectar & Brooklyn Bedding — these are the 3 most luxurious mattresses under $1,000 in the Memorial Day sales
A luxury mattress can easily set you back $1,800 or more (just take a look at our best luxury mattress guide). But fear not: you can get a touch of luxury with a budget of $1,000 — if you know where (and when) to look. And we do... We've seen a handful of deals in the Memorial Day mattress sales that will get you a quality, luxury-style mattress for under $1,000. In fact, our top recommendation comes in well under that: the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress is only $649 for a queen at DreamCloud — and it's one of the best mattresses we've tested this year. If you want to splurge on your sleep and indulge in ultimate comfort, you can get $400 off our number one mattress, the Saatva Classic, with our special deal. It starts at $999 for a twin (but a queen is $1,699). Otherwise, here are our top three luxury-style mattresses for under $1,000. 1. DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid (queen): $649 at DreamCloudThe best hybrid mattresses combine foam and steel springs to create a delicate balance of cushioning and support, and the DreamCloud Hybrid gets that almost spot-on, despite its lower-mid-range price tag. In our DreamCloud Mattress review, we found it comfortable in all sleeping positions (even if our side-sleeping testers needed a bit of time to break it in), while its support earned high marks from our reviewer with back pain. The current DreamCloud mattress sale is nothing special for Memorial Day, but at $649, a queen is slightly cheaper than it was Black Friday ($665). At either price, it's exceptional value for money. Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★½ (9,000+ reviews) 2. Nectar Premier Memory Foam mattress (queen): $949 at NectarNectar's Premier Memory Foam Mattress recently rocketed to the top spot in our best memory foam mattress guide, and for good reason. It's 13 inches tall and uses thick, high-density foams to create a sumptuous, body hugging feel. In our Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress review, we describe it as "luxurious and plush," and particularly comfortable for side sleepers. It doesn't have the show-stopping finish of your typical luxury mattress, but that's a minor quibble at a price of $949 for a queen. If you do have a bigger budget and want an even more sumptuous memory foam mattress, consider the Saatva review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★½ (50,000+ reviews) 3. Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress (queen): $1,332 now $932.40 at Brooklyn BeddingThe CopperFlex range from Brooklyn Bedding has been designed to offer "affordable luxury" and it delivers on that promise straight out the box: this mattress is immediately comfortable. It impressed us throughout our Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress review process. The GlacioTex cover disperses heat on a par with some of the best cooling mattresses we've tested, while the quilted cover is plush and cushioning. There's 30% off in the Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale, which makes it more affordable than usual (a queen is down to $932 from $1,332) and it comes with a 120-night trial and lifetime warranty.
