Our In-Depth DreamCloud Premier Mattress Review for 2023

DreamCloud’s mission is to offer a luxury bed at an affordable price that’s easily accessible to consumers. The company also launched one of the very first bed-in-a-box options.

DreamCloud is continually working to provide exceptional updates and modifications to the popular Premier bed. The Premier is an upgraded version of the brand’s standard DreamCloud bed, featuring conventional foams and 8.5-inch pocketed coils made from 85 percent recycled steel.

In our comprehensive DreamCloud Premier mattress review, we’ll be discussing items like the bed’s edge support, how well it isolates motion, its pressure-relieving capabilities, and more. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know about this mattress.

During our mattress testing, while lying down, it feels plush and soft, and the cover feels well-made and durable. The Euro top hugs the body as the memory foam layer conforms to your curves, giving you a more “in-the-bed” feel.

However, the mattress is unlikely to trap you, so you’ll still be able to get in and out of bed easily. There’s not a lot of bounce, and you won’t feel like falling off the bed if you sleep or sit near the edge.

The company says there is no official weight limit for the DreamCloud Premier. However, that doesn’t mean this mattress will properly accommodate all sleepers.

The DreamCloud is in the medium firmness range. A medium-firm bed will usually work well for most folks who weigh average and some lightweight individuals who are regular stomach sleepers. However, folks with significant weight considerations tend to be a good match for firmer mattresses.

Even though there’s no official weight limit, we suggest that sleepers weighing over 230 pounds should look into a firmer mattress or a brand that specifically makes beds for those who carry more weight.

Side Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight side sleepers should find plenty of pressure relief in the shoulders, hips, and knees. The mattress has two layers quilted into the cover, contouring the curves to prevent any pressure from building up when on your side.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight side sleepers should find the Premier equally comfortable thanks to its mid-range firmness and comfort and transition layers sitting above the coil unit.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight side sleepers who prefer softer beds may like the Premier, although the bed is generally considered too soft for those weighing over 230 pounds.

Back Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers need support in the hip area to prevent sinkage which could throw the spine out of alignment. The Premier’s 8.5-inch coil unit should provide just that, helping back sleepers achieve healthy sleep posture.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight back sleepers may experience more sinkage, but this doesn’t mean they’d get less support. The bed still performs well even for back sleepers weighing 130 to 230 pounds.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy people sleeping on their backs would feel their hips sinking into the mattress a bit too much. For most people, this is uncomfortable, especially in the long run.

Stomach Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Stomach sleepers weighing under 130 pounds may get sufficient support from the sturdy coil unit under the foam layers.
• Average-Weight Sleepers – People weighing 130 to 230 pounds are unlikely to find the Premier comfortable for sleeping on the stomach. The mid-range firmness is slightly too soft for the hips to stay in a neutral position.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight sleepers who enjoy sleeping on their stomach won’t get the support they need to keep the hips from sinking in too deeply. As a result, they may wake up with lower back pain.

The DreamCloud brand addresses this concern by using a combination of soft comfort foams, conforming memory materials, and transitional support to ensure that the body’s shape is accommodated and curves are supported. Your body should also feel suspended in this high-quality mattress as it evenly cradles common pressure points and wipes away any strain you may feel.

Additionally, the bed’s cover, which includes a luxurious cashmere blend and a 2-inch thick Euro top, should be extra plush. During our mattress testing, we found that added comfort is particularly beneficial for side sleepers who tend to prefer more softness.

Back Pain – The DreamCloud Premier should help relieve some back pain by providing ample support for the lower back and shoulders. The mattress cradles these pressure points, allowing a bit of sinkage to prevent pressure build-up that could otherwise result in back pain.
Hip Pain – The Premier has a Euro top with two foam layers that help cushion your hips to relieve pain and pressure built up. In addition, the mid-range firmness allows a bit of sinkage, which is what most people with hip pain need.
Shoulder Pain – Shoulder pain can be a struggle to fall asleep with, but this hybrid should provide sufficient pressure relief with its Euro top and two foam layers underneath.

The DreamCloud Premier mattress starts its support system with an 8.5-inch unit of individually wrapped coils that compress under the sleeper's weight and should offer more tailored support and even alignment for most sleepers. Lastly, is a base layer that gives the bed added structure and support beneath the coils.

The bed is not a good match for most stomach sleepers who need extra support in the hip area. The reason for this is that many stomach sleepers prefer firmer beds and may find their hips and midsection sink more in this model.

Although this mattress is a hybrid, it does an excellent job of isolating motion so that partners with different sleeping habits don’t disturb one another. The mattress has multiple foam layers above the 8.5-inch coil unit, which is what makes it good at motion isolation. However, you should keep in mind the Premier has a medium firmness, so it may not offer the best motion isolation you can get from a firmer mattress. Nonetheless, you’re unlikely to feel so much of your partner’s tossing and turning on this hybrid.

Although hybrid mattresses are more breathable than all-foam models, this bed has quite a few foam layers on top of the coils. For this reason, it does get hotter than average hybrid beds. Therefore, if you're someone who sleeps extra-hot, we recommend a better cooling mattress.

Many couples enjoy beds that can provide bounce and motion isolation, and hybrids are among the best beds for that. The DreamCloud Premier has foam layers that help prevent motion transfer, which is important if one partner is a restless sleeper.

However, the bed lacks significant bounce, which may be a bit of a setback for some couples. Also, partners with significant weight differences should be careful because they may find the bed performs differently.

The mattress is compressed in the factory, wrapped in plastic, and rolled into a bag for low-fuss delivery. Once it arrives, you should move it to your bedroom while it’s still in the box. Then, unpack it in the desired room and let it decompress for a day or two.

The top two layers of foam in this bed are quilted to the cashmere blend cover, creating its Euro top finish (a type of pillow top), which gives the surface a pillowy, cloud-like look and feel. The Euro top is an excellent option for side sleepers seeking pressure relief and body-hugging.

Coils around the edge of the mattress are designed with a thicker gauge wire so that the edges should retain their shape. Couples often appreciate firmer edges because it increases the bed’s usable surface space. Edge support is also beneficial to single individuals who like to spread out across the entire bed.

This bed is compatible with all foundations, including adjustable bases.

The DreamCloud Premier works with all bed foundations, including adjustable bases. However, make sure to place it on a firm, solid base.

The cover is a cashmere blend quilted to two layers of foam to create the bed’s Euro top. The top foam layer is memory foam, which allows the mattress to contour to your frame. This bed has five layers total, two of which are built into the cashmere cover, and it stands 14 inches tall.

• The Euro Top Cradle Layer is directly beneath the cover and is made of an inch of high-loft memory foam for gentle cradling.
• The Euro Top Support Layer is an inch of soft foam. This unit supports the upper layer while giving the Euro top extra plushness.
• Below the Euro top is the Dynamic Transition Layer. This foam is 2.5 inches thick and helps keep the spine supported while also easing you into the innerspring unit below.
• The coil unit is 8.5 inches thick. The unit contains both inner and perimeter coils for optimum edge support on all sides. In addition, the coils should help promote additional airflow throughout the bed to help you stay cool while also limiting motion transfer and making sure you’re well-supported.
• The base is an additional foam layer that’s 1 inch thick and provides the Premier with extra support and stability at the bottom.
• The Shift-Resistant Lower Cover helps hold the mattress in place.

Unboxing is simple, and there are handles placed on the sides to help you move the mattress into place. The mattress is compressed and shipped in a box, so it can take 24-72 hours to expand to its full 14-inch height. There is some manufacturing smell to the mattress, but this should dissipate by the time the mattress decompresses.

• Eco-Friendly Certifications – This bed is CertiPUR-US® certified. This certification indicates that the foams have undergone testing that looks for unsafe levels of VOCs and other harsh chemicals that have historically been part of the manufacturing process of polyurethane foams.

• The DreamCloud has 4 layers, and the DreamCloud Premier has 5 layers.
• DreamCloud now offers their Premier in a Twin size. They have also slightly adjusted the width of their Twin and Twin XL models from 39 inches to 38.
• DreamCloud has reintroduced cashmere back into the DreamCloud cover. The DreamCloud Premier has a quilted cashmere blend cover that’s resilient, absorbent, and soft. It adds a high-end quality to the DreamCloud Premier.

• Shipping – This company ships for free within the United States, though there is a small fee for shipments to Alaska and Hawaii. Shipping to international countries or U.S. territories is not available at this time.
• White-Glove Delivery – Should you choose, the company offers an optional delivery service that will bring the bed into your home and set it up for you. This service is available for an additional charge of 149 dollars.
• Trial – DreamCloud offers one of the longest sleep trial periods in the business. You can try the brand for free in your home for a full year before deciding to commit to the bed.
• Warranty – This brand is covered by a lifetime warranty, which is only available to the bed’s original purchaser.
• Return Policy – You can return the Premier at any time during the trial period and the company will issue a full refund. Returns are free.

Heavy people would likely find the DreamCloud Premier too soft to support their bodies regardless of the preferred sleeping position. Although it’s a hybrid with 8.5-inch coils, the foam layers on top are too soft and would likely allow too much sinkage for people weighing more than average.

The DreamCloud Premier isn’t a firm mattress but has medium firmness we rated it 5.5/10 on our firmness scale. As such, the mattress should fit most sleepers as it falls somewhere in the middle of the scale.

Much like most hybrid mattresses, DreamCloud should last eight to ten years. However, you have the highest chance of getting the most out of your bed by rotating it once in a while. Also, make sure nobody jumps on it as this can shorten its lifespan.

The DreamCloud Premier doesn’t require a box spring because it has coils that give it enough structure. The mattress can be placed on a box spring if you’d like, but you can also use a platform base, adjustable base, and a metal bed frame.

We feel that people who need quality pressure relief should invest in this mattress. The multiple foam layers, including a two-layer foam Euro top, should leave these shoppers satisfied and waking up without aches and pains.

Additionally, after testing, we think that side sleepers and lightweight individuals should be happy with this bed. Though the bed is rated at a medium firmness, lightweight individuals will likely experience solid pressure relief without the bed feeling too hard for them. Side sleepers, whose weight is concentrated in a smaller area, should also enjoy the luxurious Euro top and comforting foams.
