Who I’d Recommend the DreamCloud Hybrid For 

• Those who sleep hot – Waking up sweaty is no way to start your day. To help you avoid that the DreamCloud Hybrid uses gel-infused memory foam to help it from overheating. Also, the coils in this mattress provide airflow throughout the center of the bed.
  

  ---

• Side sleepers – Pressure can often build up around the shoulders and hips of side sleepers. The memory foam used in this mattress helps alleviate pressure buildup around your joints.
  
• Fans of innerspring coils – The DreamCloud does a great job of combining memory foam with individually-wrapped coils. These coils allow air to flow freely as well as providing support and bounce.

Who I’d Recommend the Leesa Hybrid For 

• Couples – With excellent edge support, the entire surface of this bed can be utilized which makes it ideal for people sharing a bed with a partner.
  

  ---

• Lightweight sleepers – Lighter people sometimes have a hard time activating the foam layers, and thus may not feel adequately cradled or supported. This isn’t the case with the Leesa Hybrid.
  

  ---

• Folks who reposition a lot – The Leesa’s poly foam is responsive and provides bounce. Therefore, those who frequently change positions won’t have to worry about feeling stuck in bed.

Comparing Firmness, Support & Feel

Firmness

We rate mattress firmness on a scale from 1 to 10, with one being soft as a cloud. The DreamCloud Hybrid is rated 5.5 and the Leesa is a 6.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale.

This means that there isn’t a vast difference between the two, but you will notice that the DreamCloud has an overall softer feel. The Leesa will provide you with excellent support and responsiveness, and the DreamCloud will cradle you in a soft hug.

Support

With almost 800 steel coils, the Leesa Original Hybrid has support on lock. The coils are individually wrapped to enhance comfort and motion isolation. Additionally, this bed provides optimal contouring. The DreamCloud Hybrid is a supportive shining star too. It uses three foam layers and 8.5-inch coils to support your hips and keep your spine aligned. By wrapping the coils individually, they are able to move on their own which helps enforce the zoned support. [

Feel

How a mattress feels is incredibly important, and both the DreamCloud and the Leesa make sure to bring you a comfortable sleep experience. With five interior layers that work together, the bed provides pressure relief while cradling your body and keeping your spine aligned. The Lessa feels soft and cool at first touch. You’ll quickly feel the bounce the coils and responsive foam layers provide. This will keep sleepers from feeling stuck in the bed when the reposition through the night.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Both of these mattresses are comparable when it comes to how you sink into the bed and how much bounce. With both the Leesa and the DreamCloud, you will be cradled by the foam layers, but most sleepers shouldn’t feel like they sink so far down that they find it hard to move to position. The coils found in both of these hybrid messages provide plenty of bounce that aids in repositioning and is beneficial for sexually active couples. The responsiveness of the foam used in both mattresses allows these beds to quickly regain their shape and should make it easier on anyone with mobility issues.

Comparing Motion Transfer

If you sleep with a restless partner or pet, keeping the motion they create contained to their general area is necessary for a restful night’s sleep. Fortunately, if you bring the DreamCloud or Leesa home, you should have little to worry about when it comes to being disturbed by motion transfer. Both the DreamCloud Hybrid and the Leesa Hybrid employ abundant foam layers on top of the coils help to absorb and isolate motion. The design and materials of both of these beds should help couples sleep through the disturbances of their partners.

Comparing Cooling

Overheating when sleeping can keep you from waking refreshed. Although foam has a reputation of sleeping hot, the DreamCloud and the Leesa have implemented cooling elements into their foam layers so that those sleeping on these beds will do so coolly. This is in addition to bed with coils inherently being cooler because their design allows air to move more freely. The DreamCloud’s third layer is made from gel-infused memory foam that prevents heat from building up. The Lessa Hybrid utilizes a cover and memory foam that breathable to further encourage air flow.

• A transition layer consisting of 2 inches of standard foam is under the second layer. This foam helps transition the sleeper from the foam layers to the coil unit underneath.
• The supportive coil layer is made up of 8.5-inch individually wrapped steel coils that help promote air flow and motion isolation.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the DreamCloud Hybrid and Lessa Hybrid share many similarities. They are both made with foams and coils, and they provide excellent support to a vast variety of sleepers.

However, the DreamCloud will give you a softer feel that allows you to sink a little deeper into the bed, which should work better for side sleepers. The Leesa Hybrid has a firmer feel that should work better for back and stomach sleepers. Ultimately, you shouldn’t be disappointed with either of these mattresses if you’re shopping for a supportive and durable hybrid.
