The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is a budget-friendly mattress marketed as a cooling option with memory foam. According to the manufacturer, it has pocket coils for support, a thick upper comfort layer of memory foam, and a polyfoam and fiber fill quilted top with 'cooling fibers.'
Its medium-plush firmness level makes it best suited for average and lighter side sleepers. Heavier side sleepers and most back and stomach sleepers will need something firmer for proper support and spinal alignment. This moderately bouncy, responsive mattress feels easy to move around on. Its memory foam upper comfort layer helps give it moderate sinking and contouring, so you feel cradled and slightly enveloped but not engulfed or hugged.
Our Verdict
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid offers a great sleeping experience. It has excellent motion dissipation, making your partner's movements less likely to wake you. Its excellent edge support extends the comfortable sleeping surface, making it a great choice for sleeping with a partner. This mattress also has a very good cooling performance, although persistently hot sleepers may want a mattress that dissipates heat a bit more efficiently. While it doesn't push back noticeably against your movements, it's still very responsive and adapts quickly so that you won't feel stuck in place.
Highly responsive, so you don't feel stuck in place.
Excellent motion dissipation means movements aren't likely to wake you.
Excellent edge support, so you can comfortably sleep near the side.
Cooling enough for most people.
Medium-plush firmness is suitable for lighter and average side sleepers.
Uses low-density foams that are more likely to sag or form indentations sooner.
Too soft for most back/stomach sleepers and heavier side sleepers.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid 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 overnight. It's cooling enough for most people, but if you're a hot sleeper and cooling is a priority, you probably need a mattress with better performance here.
Cooling enough for most people.
Hot sleepers will want a more cooling option.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has excellent motion dissipation. Overall, your partner's movements are unlikely to wake you. The mattress does a great job of isolating motion, so you'll only feel most movements near the source. If a pet jumps onto the foot of the bed, you'll feel it around your feet but not around your hips or head. Motion also dissipates fast, so you don't feel a wobbling or bouncing sensation whenever someone moves.
Excellent motion dissipation means movements aren't likely to wake you.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has excellent edge support. When you sit or sleep near the side of the mattress, the edges compress a decent amount. However, they compress quite evenly, so they don't create a steep ramp outward, and you won't feel at risk of sliding out of bed. That said, some mattresses compress less when you sit on the very edge, which may be preferable for people with mobility issues who want a sturdy edge when getting in and out of bed.
Excellent edge support, so you can comfortably sleep near the side.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has excellent responsiveness. It doesn't respond as quickly as some mattresses, so it doesn't have a noticeable 'push back' feeling. However, it's still very responsive, adapting fast after being compressed, so you don't feel stuck in place.
Highly responsive, so you don't feel stuck in place.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid isn't a durable mattress. None of its foam layers are dense enough to reach the standard for good quality. You can expect the mattress to lose its shape and form permanent body impressions more quickly than mattresses with higher-quality foam.
Uses low-density foams that are more likely to sag or form indentations sooner.

Popular Mattress Comparisons
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is a medium-plush mattress with a balanced feel, offering moderate sinking and contouring. It's a good option if you're looking for strong motion isolation without sacrificing a bit of bounciness, since it's moderately springy but better for motion isolation than other medium-plush, hybrid options like the Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring or Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid. Unfortunately, it uses lower-quality, less durable foams. If you want a similar feel from a mattress that uses better-quality materials, you might prefer the Stearns & Foster Lux Estate. It has weaker motion isolation, but similar cooling and edge support, and uses mostly good-quality foam.

The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid performs a bit better than the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (Canadian Version), offering a more responsive feel and marginally better motion isolation and cooling. Otherwise, they feel very different and are suitable for different people. The Canadian version is medium-firm and better suited for back sleepers, while the U.S. version is medium-plush and best suited for side sleepers.
The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid have different strengths. They both have a medium-plush firmness level and a similar feel, but the Sealy has better edge support. The DreamCloud offers a significantly better motion isolation performance and a marginally better cooling performance.
The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid and the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid are similar options, and while you may prefer either depending on your priorities, the Premier Hybrid's higher price tag won't be worth it for most people. Both models are medium-plush with moderate bounciness and sinking, but while the Premier Hybrid offers an average level of contouring, the Classic Hybrid contours your body very minimally. They're both very responsive with supportive edges, making it easy to shift sleeping positions and comfortable to sleep right next to the sides. They offer very good cooling, too, though neither is quite cool enough for hot sleepers. The biggest difference between these options is in motion isolation. The Premier Hybrid does a better job of absorbing motion, so the added cost might be worth it if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has a better performance than the Big Fig Mattress. The DreamCloud is much more cooling and also offers a better motion dissipation performance. The Big Fig is more responsive, so it pushes back against your movements faster, making moving around in your sleep very easy. It's a medium mattress, making it better-suited for heavier side sleepers than the DreamCloud, which is a softer mattress better-suited for lighter and average side sleepers.
We've recently started testing mattresses. We use objective data and repeatable testing for key characteristics like firmness, cooling, and motion isolation, to ensure each mattress gets the same treatment. Since we buy all of our mattresses, we can tear them down layer by layer and isolate the mechanical properties of every component: quilted tops, foams, coils, and any special materials. Our approach gives us unprecedented insight into how each product design decision contributes to a mattress's overall performance and feel, and allows us to tailor our results to different body types and sleeping positions.
Test Results
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is a 13-inch mattress (ours measured a little more at 13.2 inches/33.6 cm). You may need deep-pocket fitted sheets.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is a medium-plush mattress. This softer mattress is best suited for average and lighter side sleepers. Most back, stomach, and heavier side sleepers will want something firmer for proper spinal alignment.
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.
This mattress has a balanced feel, with moderate sinking and moderate contouring. You feel lightly cradled and slightly enveloped, but not tightly hugged.
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 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.
It has excellent edge support. The side of the mattress sinks a fair amount when you sit on the edge, but it compresses evenly, so it doesn't form a very steep ramp outward. If you're sleeping near the side of the mattress, you won't feel at risk of sliding off. However, some mattresses' edges compress less when you sit there, such as the Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn. You may want a mattress with even better edge support, like the Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn, if you need a sturdy surface for getting in and out of bed.
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 manufacturer discloses some of the materials used in the cover: 69% polyester, 17% viscose (also called rayon), 4% barrier coating, 4% filament poly. They don't say what material makes up the remaining 6%.
Thirteen-gauge coils reinforce the edges of the mattress. These coils are noticeably stiffer than the rest of the coils in the support layer and help give the mattress its excellent edge support.
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.
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.
The quilted top is quite thick at 6.0 cm (2.4 inches). Since it's soft, you'll likely compress it and also interact with the 5.0 cm (2.0 inches) upper comfort layer of memory foam, which is a low-resilience material you'll sink into, and adds contouring. The 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) transition layer prevents you from feeling the individual coils if you compress both upper layers.
The head, foot, and edges of the mattress use 13-gauge pocket coils in the support layer. These coils are noticeably stiffer than the 15-gauge coils found in the rest of the layer. The 15-gauge coils are soft, and since the layer is not particularly dense, the coil layer is more flexible in the middle of the mattress. The fairly soft springs in the lumbar area can help your hips sink in more while sleeping on your side.
The upper layer is on the firmer side for a quilted top, but still soft enough that you sink into it. The heavier parts of your body, like your hips for back and stomach sleepers and shoulder area for side sleepers, will also sink into the much softer memory foam upper comfort layer, which helps with pressure relief and spinal alignment. The transition foam is much firmer, although most people will not compress the layers above enough to feel it directly.
The pocket coil layer is quite soft, so it provides flexible support for the heavier parts of your body, like your lumbar for back/stomach sleepers and shoulders and hips for side sleepers.
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.
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.
