Finding a mattress that you and your partner both enjoy can be a struggle. But after sleeping on and thoroughly testing the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid for 60 nights, I found it eliminates the need for compromise. This luxury hybrid hits the perfect balance for both me and my husband—something that’s no small feat. In this DreamCloud Premier Hybrid review, I dive into how it performed over the course of two months and share who else may find it as dreamy as we do.

Our DreamCloud Premier Hybrid Mattress review details our experience testing the mattress as a team ... [+] and individually for 60 nights.

In addition to my own testing experience, we also share results from a group of six Forbes Vetted testers of various body types and sleep styles, including mattress and sleep editors Bridget Chapman and McKenzie Dillon. Overall, the team found the Premier Hybrid accommodating for most sleeping positions and comfortably cushy. The bed uses gel memory foam and individually wrapped coils to offer a combination of pressure relief and support for sleepers. It’s the middle-tier option DreamCloud offers, and it comes in a memory foam model as well, if that’s more your style. Read on to learn about everything from its firmness and feel to its motion isolation and durability.

DreamCloud has three hybrid mattress options, each catering to different needs. The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid sits perfectly in between the brand’s base model (the DreamCloud Hybrid) and its tallest, most pressure-relieving pick (the DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid). The 13-inch Premier Hybrid features seven layers of springs and foams designed to cushion, support and stabilize. While the mattress has no organic certifications, the company’s foam is CertiPUR-US certified, which indicates that it’s free of ozone depleters, heavy metals like mercury and lead, prohibited phthalates, certain fire retardant chemicals and formaldehyde. It’s also low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

A look at the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid's layers.

When you first lie down, the mattress feels a bit on the firm side. DreamCloud rates it a 6.5 out of 10 on its firmness scale, or a true medium-firm. In fact, I’d say it runs slightly firmer, around a 7, at first touch. However, as the memory foam warms to your body temperature, it softens and provides comfortable, contouring support. As a side sleeper, I need a bit of softness in a mattress, and this one hits the mark perfectly for me. Any firmer, and it would be too much for my liking.

My spouse, who sleeps on his back, prefers a firmer mattress than I do, but he finds this one to be just right—not too soft at all, but a solid 6.5. Our six testers also agree that the mattress feels on par with its brand firmness rating and that it suits multiple sleeping styles. One tester says, “I really enjoyed sleeping on my side on this mattress. I found that there was great pressure relief and my body was aligned, without sinking too far into the hip area.” As for back sleeping, another tester says, “I absolutely love this mattress for back sleeping. My body remains aligned, yet there is a bit more pressure relief in the shoulder and trunk area than in the regular DreamCloud Hybrid.” At the same time, it doesn’t have a sinking feel. While you’re gently hugged, it omits the traditional feeling of enveloping memory foam.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is billed as breathable and supportive, which I find to be true. The top of the mattress has a soft, quilted layer that is comfortable enough to lie on even before adding a mattress pad and sheets. When you press down on the mattress, it feels plush yet sturdy. There’s no sinking feeling when you first lie down, but it doesn’t feel like a hard plank either. One tester describes it as being “very airy and plush with the feeling like you’re lying on a cloud,” without compromising on support.

It’s generally on the slightly firmer side with no sinkage, but cushioning adds a light and airy feel to the experience. On our first night, my husband and I both found it easy to get comfortable and fall asleep quickly, despite our different preferences and sleeping styles.

Here’s how the mattress performed in terms of pressure relief, cooling ability, motion transfer, support and ease of movement.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid offers a cozy yet durable feel, providing excellent pressure relief while lying on our sides or backs. Our testers rated pressure relief an 8 out of 10 and were happy with how well it contours to their curves. My husband and I also haven’t noticed any areas where we feel pressure buildup or a lack of support.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid does a great job offering just the right amount of pressure relief.

Neither of us are stomach sleepers, but for the sake of testing, we both tried lying on our stomachs. I felt more supported than I expected, though I did notice some discomfort around my lower back. That said, some of our testers enjoyed the mattress for stomach sleeping and rated it an 8 out of 10 for this position. As a result, we think stomach sleepers who fall into the heavyweight category (250 pounds or more) may want to steer clear of the Premier Hybrid in favor of a more supportive mattress. However, stomach sleepers who don’t need a particularly firm bed should be accommodated.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much cooler we slept on the DreamCloud compared to our previous mattress. My spouse usually gets hot at night, while I like to be bundled up. In the past, he would often wake up in the middle of the night sweating, but this hasn’t been an issue on the DreamCloud. The breathable cashmere top layer really makes a difference, keeping him cool and comfortable all night long. The hybrid construction and gel-infused foams also help promote airflow and keep heat retention to a minimum.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid's cover feels smooth and breathable.

As a bit of a wiggle-worm sleeper, I asked my spouse if he noticed any of my movements throughout the night. He said that while he could tell I was moving if he was already awake, it wasn’t enough to bother him or wake him up. To really test the mattress, we had our teenage kids jump on one side of the bed to see how well it absorbed aggressive movement. We could feel them jumping, of course, but I was still able to hold a glass of water without worrying about it spilling. Overall, we were impressed by how well the mattress absorbed motion transfer. Our testers also found that the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has good motion isolation. It earned an 8 out of 10 score; as one tester says, “Motion isolation is great. I think this would be great for a couple who differs in sleeping positions.”

The support of the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is one of its most impressive features. I weigh 140 pounds, and my spouse weighs 180 pounds, and neither of us feels any sinking while lying down side by side—we both feel fully supported. I don’t roll into him, and I’m confident that even if he weighed more, the mattress would still be supportive enough to keep me from rolling toward him. DreamCloud says a queen-size mattress supports up to 1,000 pounds, and other reviewers with more body weight have noted that they appreciate the support, deep contouring and lack of sinkage.

I found the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid to be extremely supportive.

Having dealt with lower back injuries for years, I’ve always struggled with finding a soft yet supportive mattress. The combination of materials in the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is exactly what I need to keep my back stable and supported. Plus, the double layer of reinforced coils around the mattress perimeter works as intended. When I sit on the edge of the mattress, it sinks down a bit but not enough to make me feel like I might slip off.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is, as the name suggests, a hybrid mattress combining memory foam and individually wrapped coils. Unlike some memory foam mattresses that have had me struggling to get up due to sinkage, it’s really easy to move around on and get up from this bed. While it is bouncier than a typical memory foam mattress, it’s not excessive—just the right amount for easy movement without feeling like you’re lying on a trampoline. Our testers’ experience echos mine, as they gave it a score of 8 out of 10. One tester says, “It’s not bouncy, but it’s easy to move around since there is no sinkage. You don’t feel like you’re getting trapped in a cloud, just lying on one.”

DreamCloud is part of the Resident Home portfolio, which also includes Nectar, Siena and Awara. There are three DreamCloud mattresses, all of which are available in hybrid or all-foam models.

We were really impressed with how quickly we received our mattress—it arrived just three days after we ordered it. Shipping was free, but you can opt for Premium In-Home Setup for $199 where they can also remove your existing mattress if you choose.

The mattress arrived in a large box. My spouse managed to carry it alone, but I would have needed help. Inside the box, the mattress was tightly compressed and wrapped in plastic. Once we carefully cut open the plastic, the mattress instantly took shape. We didn’t notice any strong smells, just a light “new” scent that disappeared quickly. It was impressive how it went from a box on our doorstep to a fully functioning mattress in our bedroom so fast.

With the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, you get one of the industry’s best trial windows—365 nights. That’s a whole year to decide if it’s right for you. If you decide to return it, a DreamCloud sleep concierge can help coordinate a removal or exchange.

DreamCloud offers a lifetime warranty on its mattresses, which indicates a high level of confidence in its products. The warranty covers deterioration, such as visible indents of 1.5 inches or more. Physical flaws and manufacturing defects are likewise covered, and DreamCloud says in these instances, the brand will repair or replace it at no charge.

As mentioned, DreamCloud offers three different mattress models in its collection. Learn more about the other models below.

DreamCloud

The flagship mattress, the DreamCloud, is also the brand’s base model. It’s available in all-foam or hybrid constructions and features the same materials as the Premier, but it’s not as cooling or pressure relieving. It’s also an inch thinner. Learn more in the full DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress review.

DreamCloud

The Premier Rest Hybrid is DreamCloud’s tallest, coolest, most pressure-relieving model. It’s 14 inches tall, with a seven-layer construction and a quilted Euro top for a luxurious feel. Forbes Vetted’s testers found it to be the softest model of the three. You can read more in the DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid Mattress review.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is worth considering if you’re looking for a medium-firm, comfortable feel but also need solid support. It’s great for couples with different sleeping positions and preferences, catering to both back and side sleepers, and balancing softness and firmness quite nicely. I especially recommend it for anyone with back pain issues—it provided me with the right support and comfort, and I didn’t wake up with a sore back.

My spouse and I are both impressed with the quality and construction of this mattress, and we love that it’s still affordable. Our testers agree that it feels and looks like a more expensive mattress than it is. “It feels very luxurious and high quality,” says one tester. “The bed maintains its structure but has a pillowy, plush top that provides a layer of comfort to the firmer bed.” However, it might not be ideal for stomach sleepers in need of firmer support or those who prefer an exceptionally soft, cloud-like or memory foam mattress.

I tested the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid by sleeping on it for two months. During that time span, I paid attention to its cooling abilities, support levels, pressure relief, motion isolation and overall comfort. I also asked my spouse for his opinions on the mattress since he sleeps hot and prefers a firmer bed, while I tend to enjoy a softer one.

We also had six people test the mattress who range from under 150 pounds to over 250 pounds. They compared the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid to 28 other mattress models, including the other beds in the DreamCloud collection. Our testers paid close attention to the same features as I did, including firmness, feel, motion isolation, ease of movement and more.

I’m the senior manager of e-commerce partnerships at Forbes Vetted. I work closely with various mattress brands to ensure we’re delivering the best deals and overall experience for readers. I’ve rotated through several mattresses at home, from plush pillow tops to traditional hybrids. My husband and I have different mattress preferences and sleep styles, so I know the struggle of finding the perfect fit.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has a firmness rating of 6.5, which makes it medium-firm. I weigh 140 pounds, and I initially found it a touch firmer. But as I settled in, the foam layers responded to the pressure and weight of my body and softened nicely for a softly supported feel. My husband, at 180 pounds, finds the medium-firm rating to be accurate. If you’re looking for a firm mattress, this one is likely going to feel too soft.

You can reasonably expect the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid to last between seven and ten years. The hybrid model is likely to be on the longer end of that time frame, while the all-foam model may meet the end of its performance life on the shorter side. Coils tend to improve mattress durability, which extends lifespan.

I personally found the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid to help alleviate my back pain since it promoted healthy sleep posture while also providing gentle contouring and pressure relief. For more options, check out our list of the best mattresses for back pain.
