Our Verdict
DreamCloud Hybrid (Canadian Version)
Bear Elite Hybrid
The Bear Elite Hybrid is a better mattress than the DreamCloud Hybrid (Canadian Version) for most people. The Bear stands out for its fantastic responsiveness and edge support, and while the DreamCloud is just a bit less responsive, it struggles with edge support. This performance makes the Bear easier to move around on and means you can comfortably sleep right next to the edge, unlike on the DreamCloud, which leaves you feeling like you could slip off. The Bear is also slightly more cooling, though neither is ideal for hot sleepers. The one area in which the DreamCloud comes out ahead is motion isolation, so if you're a light sleeper or sleep with a partner who tosses and turns, it may still be a contender.
