The DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid is a mid-range bed-in-a-box mattress. Its design features a layer of pocket springs topped with four layers of foam: a polyfoam transition layer, memory foam upper comfort layer, and a quilted top with polyfoam, memory foam, and fiber fill.

It's a medium-plush mattress, suitable for lighter, average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers. Heavier stomach sleepers and average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers, will likely sink too deeply into this mattress for comfort and prefer something firmer to keep the spine aligned. This isn't a very bouncy mattress, and it doesn't contour your body very closely. Still, you do sink moderately into it, creating a feeling of being cushioned without being tightly hugged.

0.0
Longevity 

The DreamCloud Premier Rest is a passably durable mattress. The transition layer is made of dense, good-quality polyfoam, which helps the mattress resist sagging and deeper indentations. Unfortunately, the layers above are of lower quality. The quilted top contains a layer of polyfoam and a layer of memory foam, neither of which is dense enough to reach the standard for good quality. The comfort layer is made of low-quality memory foam, too. These layers are prone to sagging and developing permanent impressions, making the mattress as a whole more susceptible to wear and tear.

Pros
  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

  • Uses mostly low-quality foam, which will begin to sag sooner.

0.0
Pressure Relief 

Pros
  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

0.0
Support 

Pros
  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

0.0
Cooling 

The DreamCloud Premier Rest keeps you impressively cool. It keeps you cool as you fall asleep, transferring a good amount of heat away from you during the first hour of the night. Its performance is even more efficient throughout the rest of the night, so you don't wake up overheated, either. It's cooling enough even for hot sleepers.

Pros
  • Cooling enough for hot sleepers.

  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

0.0
Motion Dissipation 

The DreamCloud Premier Rest provides excellent motion isolation. You still notice bigger movements, but they don't travel much throughout the mattress. So when your sleeping partner rolls over, you feel it in the lumbar but not much at the head or foot of the bed. The motion also dissipates quickly, so it's less likely to disturb or wake you.

Pros
  • Excellent motion dissipation makes movement less likely to wake you.

  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

0.0
Responsiveness 

The DreamCloud Premier Rest has good responsiveness. It responds quickly when compressed, making it easy to move around and change sleeping positions. Still, it doesn't respond instantly like some other mattresses.

Pros
  • Good responsiveness makes it easier to move around.

  • Suitable for lighter and average-sized side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers.

Cons
  • Disappointing edge support limits the useable sleeping area.

  • Not ideal for heavier stomach sleepers or average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid comes in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, and King sizes. We tested a Queen-size model, and our results are only valid for that variant. See the first label, second label, and third label for our unit.

    If you encounter another variant or experience a variant that performs differently, let us know in the comments.

    Popular Mattress Comparisons

    The DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid is a decent mid-range bed-in-a-box mattress. DreamCloud also makes the DreamCloud Hybrid (Canadian Version) and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (Canadian Version), with the Premier Rest Hybrid standing as the premium model in the lineup. Surprisingly, the less premium models actually outperform this one overall. The Hybrid is more responsive and has better edge support, while the Premier Hybrid has better edge support and matches its performance for both motion dissipation and responsiveness. The one area the Premier Rest Hybrid comes out ahead is cooling; it's the only option of the three that's cooling enough for hot sleepers. While the other models in the lineup have been discontinued in the U.S., but remain available in Canada, this model has been discontinued in the U.S., and a different model with the same name and a different design is available in Canada. You can expect it to perform differently.

    If you're curious what we recommend, take a look at our picks for the best mattresses, the best memory foam mattresses, and the best mattresses for side sleepers.

    Bear Elite Hybrid

    The medium-firm Bear Elite Hybrid is a better choice than the medium-plush DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid for most people. The Bear has exceptional responsiveness and edge support, outperforming the DreamCloud by a wide margin. This makes it easier to move around and get in or out of bed. The DreamCloud has better motion isolation, however, so movement is less likely to wake you. It's also cooling enough for hot sleepers, unlike the Bear, so you may prefer it if you run hot.

    Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt

    The DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid and Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt have different strengths and weaknesses, and you may prefer either depending on your priorities. The DreamCloud is a hybrid model with medium-plush firmness. It's the more responsive option, so it's easier to move around on, and, unlike the Tempur-Pedic, it's cooling enough for hot sleepers. The Tempur-Pedic is a medium all-foam option with better edge support, and while you still feel a bit like you could slip off when you sleep close to the sides, it's a much better option than the DreamCloud in this regard. It also has outstanding motion isolation, so it's a good choice if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns.

    Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring

    The Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring and DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid are both medium-plush hybrids. While the Serta has better overall performance, both mattresses have their strengths, and you may prefer one over the other based on what matters to you. The Serta is more responsive and has better edge support, so it's easier to move around on. The DreamCloud offers better motion isolation, making it a good choice for light sleepers. It's also more cooling, and while the Serta still provides good cooling, only the DreamCloud offers sufficient cooling for hot sleepers.

    Boring Mattress

    The Boring Mattress is a better choice than the DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid. The biggest jump in quality is found in edge support. When you sleep near the edge of the DreamCloud, you feel like you could slip off, while the Boring provides much more support in this area. Beyond this aspect, the medium Boring outperforms the medium-plush DreamCloud in every area, though by a smaller margin. It also uses good-quality foam, while the DreamCloud uses mostly low-quality foam, which you can expect to sag and form indents sooner.
