I’ve written numerous reviews of the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress over the past six years of my mattress testing career. It was on my short list of favorites then, and its newest iteration, released in May, still is. This is no small feat, especially given the current supply-chain issues, tariffs, and price increases, all of which can affect the materials (and thus, the performance) of a mattress. Plus, I’m like the Simon Cowell of mattress world—a bed has to work really hard to impress me. And after all this time, DreamCloud is still chugging along. Dream Build Photograph: Julia Forbes DreamCloud follows a hybrid makeup, which means you're getting a combination of foam and coils. In short, that's a whole lot of support. The quilted top provides pressure relief, as well as temperature regulation through its “CloudQuilt” cooling fiber cover. Frankly, it's not outright cool to the touch, but it does a good job of keeping you comfortable. The quilted top isn't exactly a pillow top; it's more like a thin sliver of foam. If you're looking for a true pillow-top experience, consider exploring other DreamCloud models or our other top mattress picks, such as the Bear Elite Hybrid. The initial CertiPUR-US certified “therapeutic” memory foam layer is what really comes through for you with pressure relief, keeping excess weight from burdening your joints. Beyond that is a foam layer that is designed for spine alignment. It's meant to keep weight distributed, so while the top layer is keeping things cushy, you aren't sinking in so far that your spine is bent out of alignment. This is supplemented by pocketed coils, which rest on a foam base. Pocketed coils respond directly to the heaviest areas of your body, keeping them lifted. The ones in the DreamCloud Hybrid are also reinforced along the edges, providing double the support when you sleep or sit on the edges. One thing I miss from previous versions of this mattress is the handles that were sewn into the sides. They make setting up and moving on the frame infinitely easier (and that goes for any mattress), so to see them gone on my reliable pick was disappointing.
