Our Verdict

Between Casper and DreamCloud, both brands are well-known and have good performance averages overall. Both brands have foam mattresses, hybrids, and memory foam hybrids. Granted, Casper’s foam mattress has more of a balanced feel and DreamCloud’s foam mattress is a classic memory foam mattress.

Casper has a firmness range between Soft (4.5) and Medium-Firm (6), however, DreamCloud has Medium (5) to Medium-Firm mattresses (6 out of 10).

The average cost of a Casper mattress is $1,771 and the average cost of a DreamCloud is $1,386.

When we factor in overall performance, we see that DreamCloud also delivers a higher overall performance on average. The average Casper mattress has a score of 8.49 and the average DreamCloud score is 8.71.

Casper definitely scores some points in various categories, but at the end of the day, DreamCloud delivers higher performance on average for a lower average price.

Which Mattress Should You Buy?

The mattresses earning the title for “best overall” from each brand have the highest overall performance. Overall performance is determined by scores from 8 different categories including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex performance, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company.

Sinkage and bounce are also taken into consideration, but they are not direct scoring factors.

Between Casper and Dreamcloud, the two top recommendations are Casper Dream Max and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid.

This mattress performs in the top 16% of all mattresses tested to date and also has a low sticker price. Priced at $1,099 for a queen, the DreamCloud is 28% less expensive than the average hybrid. Overall, this mattress outperforms the Casper Dream (and at a lower cost), making the Premier Hybrid the top pick for best mattress among these two brands.

Read Review

From each brand, the top mattress picks are the Casper Dream Max and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid. These two mattresses represent the best of the best from both Casper and DreamCloud, with DreamCloud offering a medium-firm feel, while the Casper Dream Max has a soft feel.

That said, these aren’t exactly equals. Between the two, the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid has the higher overall score and a lower price tag ($1,099 for a queen mattress). For value, DreamCloud is the top pick.

In terms of feel, the Casper has deep sinkage and very high bounce, while the DreamCloud has moderate sinkage with low bounce. Casper’s softer feel and deep sinkage make it an ideal choice for many exclusive side sleepers, while the DreamCloud is the better pick for all-around usage.

Firmness

Looking at all available mattresses we’ve tested, Casper ranges in firmness from 4.5 to 6 out of 10 and all Dreamcloud mattresses that we’ve tested range from a 5 to a 6.

If you’re looking for a medium-firm feel, both Casper and DreamCloud have good options to consider. DreamCloud would be especially attractive given the lower price and high performance.

For a soft feel, the Casper Dream Max will be your best bet, as it’s the only mattress among both brands that has a soft feel (4.5 out of 10).

For a firm feel, neither of these brands are particularly well-suited. There are no mattresses from Casper or DreamCloud that are firmer than a medium-firm (6 out of 10).

Not sure which firmness you need? Your ideal mattress firmness depends on two major factors—sleeping position and body weight. With the right firmness, your body and spine will maintain proper alignment when sleeping.

What Firmness Is Right For You2

Lightweight sleepers or those who sleep on their side tend to need a softer mattress. By comparison, heavier sleepers or those who sleep on their back or stomach tend to need more support and a firmer feel.

Cooling Test

Both Dreamcloud and Casper have good cooling performance, but Casper takes the lead here. Casper’s average cooling score is 9.0 and Dreamcloud’s average cooling score is 8.7.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding cooling.

Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.

Casper One

DreamCloud Hybrid

Casper Dream

DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid

Casper Snow Hybrid

DreamCloud Premier Hybrid

The average cooling score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.6.

The only mattress to earn a perfect cooling score (10/10) is the Casper Snow Hybrid. This mattress has a memory foam feel, while also having big advantages for cooling, including a phase-change cover, “cooling bands”, and a spray-on phase-change foam treatment. These different design elements all combine to give the Snow fantastic cooling.

Mattresses that earn a 9/10 for cooling include the Casper Dream, DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid.

The mattresses with the poorest cooling performance are also the lowest-priced models in this comparison—Casper One and DreamCloud Hybrid. These mattresses are designed to hit lower price points. As a result, they lack many of the cooling features and materials that the higher priced models have.

Sinkage Test

On average, Casper mattresses have slightly less sinkage than DreamCloud, but it’s by a pretty narrow margin. The average sinkage of a Casper mattress is 2.0″ and the average sinkage of a DreamCloud mattress is 2.3″.

Casper includes mattresses with both Minimal and Deep sinkage, while Dreamcloud offers Moderate or Deep sinkage.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sinkage.

Casper Snow Hybrid Sinkage Test

DreamCloud Premier Hybrid

Dreamcloud Premier Hybrid Sinkage Test

The average sinkage depth across all mattresses tested to date is 2.19″.

Back and stomach sleepers usually prefer less sinkage, which better maintains proper alignment of their spine.

The Casper One (1.77″), Casper Dream (1.89″), and DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid (2.10″) all have less sinkage than average.

Among these options, the Casper One offers the least amount of sinkage at the lowest price. For back or stomach sleepers on a budget, the Casper One can be an attractive choice.

On the other hand, side sleepers tend to enjoy a deeper level of sinkage, as that typically translates to better pressure relief and contour.

For deeper sinkage, opt for the Casper Snow Hybrid (2.36″), DreamCloud Hybrid (2.48″), or DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (2.24″).

Motion Transfer Test

Looking at motion transfer, Dreamcloud is the clear winner for the lowest motion transfer, as Casper really struggles in this category.

Dreamcloud’s average motion transfer score is 9.6 and Casper’s average motion transfer score dips to 8.2.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding motion transfer.

The level of motion transfer on each mattress is also documented in the videos below.

The average motion transfer score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.2.

The mattress with the lowest level of motion transfer is the Dreamcloud Luxe Hybrid, maxing out at only 5.38 m/s².

The Casper with the lowest motion transfer level is the Casper Snow Hybrid, measuring 7.95 m/s².

Compared to the Dreamcloud Luxe, the Snow Hybrid has higher motion, and yet, it’s still notably lower than average.

Nevertheless, if you need the absolute lowest motion transfer, the Dreamcloud is the better choice. All 3 Dreamcloud models measured lower motion transfer than all 3 Casper models.

Response Test

Material responsiveness is an important factor for any mattress and both Casper and Dreamcloud have mattresses that do well in this category. That being said, their average scores are quite a bit different—9.2 for Dreamcloud and 8.3 for Casper.

The primary anchor that is pulling down the Casper scores in this category is the extremely slow response time on the Casper Snow Hybrid.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding response.

Casper One9.90.2 seconds0.4 seconds

The level of responsiveness for each mattress is documented in the videos below.

Casper One

DreamCloud Hybrid

Casper Dream

DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid

Casper Snow Hybrid

DreamCloud Premier Hybrid

The average response score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.8.

The mattress with the fastest response time is the Casper One and Casper Dream, both of which earned a response score of 9.9 (higher than any DreamCloud mattresses).

The best DreamCloud mattresses for fast response time are the DreamCloud Hybrid and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, with a matching score of 9.3.

Again, it’s the Casper Snow that is wreaking havoc on the Casper average response time score. Taking nearly 3 full seconds to be mostly recovered and over 5 seconds to reach full recovery is significantly slower than average.

If material recovery speed and ease of movement is critical, I would pass on the Casper Snow Hybrid.

Bounce Test

While bounce is more of a preferential factor, Casper generally has higher levels of bounce than what you’ll get on a DreamCloud. Casper mattresses have Moderate or High bounce and DreamCloud mattresses have Very Low, Low, or Moderate levels.

Casper’s average bounce level is 9.68″ and the DreamCloud average is only 7.07″.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding bounce.

The level of bounce for each mattress is documented in the videos below.

Casper One

DreamCloud Hybrid

Casper Dream

DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid

Casper Snow Hybrid

The average bounce across all mattresses tested to date is 8.79″.

Mattresses with more bounce than average include the Casper Dream (10.73″), Casper Snow Hybrid (9.54″), and DreamCloud Hybrid (9.05″).

Mattresses with less bounce than average include the Casper One (8.77″), DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid (4.90″), and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (7.26″).

Mattresses with more bounce are better for ease of movement and increase sex performance. However, higher bounce also typically creates a higher level of motion transfer (though not always). So there are pros and cons when it comes to bounce.

Edge Support Test

Edge support is similar for both of these brands. Casper has an average edge performance score of 8.8 and DreamCloud is just slightly behind Casper with a score of 8.7.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding edge support.

Dreamcloud Premier Hybrid Edge Support Test

The average edge support score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.7.

The Casper mattress with the best edge support is the Casper Snow Hybrid, where we measured only 3.25″ of sinkage when seated at the edge.

The DreamCloud Hybrid matched this same sitting support, but had less impressive lying support and hence a lower score.

The best DreamCloud is the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, where we measured 3.75″ of sitting edge sinkage and excellent lying support.

Mattresses with the worst edge support within this comparison include the Casper One and the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, both of which earned a score of only 8.2.

Sex Test

Concerning sex support, Casper takes the lead over DreamCloud. The average sex score for Casper is 8.8 and Dreamcloud is quite a bit lower at only 7.7.

This score is generated by analyzing 5 different factors—bounce, edge support, cooling, pressure relief, and noise.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sex.

DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid6.75.58.4109.09.0
DreamCloud Premier Hybrid7.87.09.1109.09.0

The average sex score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.2.

The Casper Dream (9.1), Casper Snow Hybrid (8.9), and DreamCloud Hybrid (8.5) all have better sex performance than the average mattress. These mattresses exhibit higher levels of bounce and / or better edge support.

The Casper Dream has both higher bounce and stronger edge support, giving it the highest sex score.

The Casper One, DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid have lower sex scores as well.

DreamCloud’s poor performers are hybrids, but the memory foam comfort layer really deadens bounce on these mattresses and ultimately hurts the sex score.

Casper’s bottom pick, the Casper One, contains a blend of poly foam and memory foam, but because there are no coils (like the other hybrids), as a result bounce is more restricted.

Pressure Relief Test

Pressure relief is incredibly important, as it determines how comfortable a mattress is and how weight is evenly distributed. Between Casper and DreamCloud, DreamCloud is the clear winner.

The average pressure relief score for Casper is 7.7, and the average score for DreamCloud is 8.7, a difference of a full point.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding pressure relief.

Typically speaking, pressure relief has a strong correlation to the thickness of the comfort layer. A thicker comfort layer (paired with a thicker support layer) is one of the most effective ways to see improved pressure relief on a mattress.

This is especially true for side sleepers who may engage more deeply in mattress layers, especially in areas of high pressure like the hips and midsection.

Mattresses with the best pressure relief include the Casper Snow Hybrid, DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, all of which earned a score of 9.0 out of 10.

While the exact level of comfort material varies on these mattresses (between 3-5″), they all have fantastic performance in this category.

Dreamcloud Premier Hybrid Pressing On Foams
Dreamcloud Premier Hybrid Pressing On Foams

Mattresses with good, but not great, pressure relief are the Casper Dream and the DreamCloud Hybrid, which both earned a score of 8.0. Compared to the higher-scoring mattresses listed above, the Dream and the DreamCloud Hybrid are more budget-friendly mattresses.

Their budget price means they both have less comfort material than average (3 – 3.5″) as well, which is a contributing factor to the lower performance in this category.

Casper One Squeezing Materials
Casper One Squeezing Materials

The Casper One has the worse pressure relief score (6.0) with only 3.0″ of comfort material and the thinnest support layer as well (only 7.0″).

This is the only all-foam mattress in this comparison and while all-foam mattresses don’t always have worse pressure relief performance, when we see all-foam materials with a thinner profile, pressure relief struggles.

Off-Gassing Test

Off-gassing is significantly faster on DreamCloud mattresses than on Casper mattresses.

DreamCloud mattresses earned an average off-gassing score of 8.1 and have an average off-gassing duration of 7 days. By comparison, Casper mattresses earned an off-gassing score of 6.3 and have an off-gassing duration between 8-20 days.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding off-gassing.

The average smell duration across all mattresses tested to date is 6.7 days.

All DreamCloud mattresses are on par with the average smell duration based on all of our mattress tests to date. The Casper Dream is not too far behind also (8 days).

But after that, we see a significant jump to the Casper One and Casper Snow Hybrid that took between 2-3 weeks to fully off-gas.

To date, we have tested 380+ mattresses from 102 different brands. The average trial length is 172 nights and the average warranty is 14 years, excluding 42% of mattresses that offer lifetime warranties.

Both Casper and DreamCloud have free shipping and free returns. Casper offers a 100-night trial period, whereas DreamCloud offers a 365-night trial.

The biggest difference between the two brands is the warranty. DreamCloud offers a lifetime warranty, while Casper provides only a 10-year warranty. Certainly, the longer lifetime warranty is better than a 10-year warranty.
