DreamCloud Premier Hybrid   Review

It only uses lower-density foams, which aren't as durable as higher-density polyfoam and memory foam and are likely to sag or form permanent indentations sooner than higher-quality foams. The polyfoam in the quilted layer, the memory foam upper comfort layer, and the polyfoam transition layer are all made of low-quality foam. If you're looking for a more durable mattress, the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, a higher-end model in the same lineup, uses more good-quality foam.

There's 13.7 cm (5.4 inches) of foam above the spring support system. The upper layer is a quilted top with polyfoam and fiber fill. Below it, there's a layer of memory foam, followed by a transition layer of polyfoam. The quilted layer, which is quite bouncy, helps counteract the effect of the slow-moving memory foam and makes the mattress more responsive. The polyfoam layer is also quite bouncy and helps prevent you from feeling the individual coils below.

You'll sink significantly into the upper layers, so you feel like you're sleeping 'in' it instead of 'on' it. However, they aren't very contouring, so it doesn't feel like a hug. If you're looking for a more typical memory foam feel, you might prefer the more contouring Nolah Evolution.

It has very good cooling. It doesn't feel warm when you first get into bed, and it does an even better job of dissipating heat over eight hours. This should keep most people comfortable, but it's not quite cooling enough for hot sleepers.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has an excellent motion isolation performance. Very little motion travels across the mattress, so you'll only feel movements near their source. When your partner rolls over, you'll feel it briefly in the lumbar area but not around your head. Motion dissipates quickly as well, so you don't feel like you're bouncing around with every move, making movement less likely to wake you.

This excellent performance sets this model apart from other DreamCloud mattresses, such as the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid, which performs similarly overall but has significantly worse motion isolation.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is very responsive. It doesn't respond extremely quickly like some mattresses, so it doesn't feel like it's pushing back on you. However, it adapts to your movements quickly, so you don't feel stuck in place.

The springs are only moderately bouncy compared to other hybrid mattresses. Combined with the mattress's mix of bouncy and non-bouncy foams, they give the mattress its moderate overall bounciness, which makes it easier to move around on compared to mattresses with less bounce.

It's a moderately bouncy mattress. It doesn't have a very springy feel like some innerspring mattresses, but it has enough bounce that it feels easy to change sleeping positions.

The quilted layer is quite resilient or bouncy, helping give the mattress its responsive feel. The memory foam layer below is much less resilient, meaning it doesn't 'push back' as much, and you'll sink into it. The transition layer is more resilient, so it'll push back and help prevent you from feeling the individual springs below.
