How is DreamCloud Luxe Different?

The DreamCloud Luxe is a 14.5″ memory foam mattress with an overall performance level that is better than the average mattress and performs among the top 5% of all memory foam mattresses tested.

The price is also quite a bit higher. Priced at $1,599 for a queen mattress, the DreamCloud Luxe is 56% more than the average memory foam mattress. If you’re looking for a luxury memory foam mattress, the Luxe is a fantastic option.

Advantages

Specific advantages to the DreamCloud Luxe include lower levels of motion transfer, fast material responsiveness, and exceptional pressure relief.

Including the quilted cover, comfort layer, and transitional foam, there is 7.0″ of comfort material on the DreamCloud Luxe. Off-gassing is also faster than average and the company earns a 10/10 score for company terms.

The DreamCloud Luxe is backed by a 365-night trial period and a lifetime warranty.

Neutral Factors

This mattress has deep levels of sinkage and very low levels of bounce. The memory foam comfort layer provides a great deal of body hug and contour.

Being an all-foam mattress, edge support is also a bit neutral. It has near-average levels of sinkage when seated directly at the edge of the mattress.

Disadvantages

The biggest disadvantage of the DreamCloud Luxe is a below-average sex performance score. But this is hardly a specific disadvantage to the DreamCloud Luxe, and more so a disadvantage of memory foam mattresses as a whole.

Memory foam generally has less bounce than other mattress types and may also have worse edge support. These two factors alone make up 80% of the sex score, so anything less than bouncy can really hurt the sex score.

The DreamCloud Luxe has good cooling. During our tests, I felt a slight level of heat retention around my body.

It wasn’t anything extreme, but it wasn’t nothing either. The cooling performance was notably worse than the hybrid version (see our DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid review for more).

In my view, what’s limiting the cooling performance is a combination of the all foam design, thick 3.0” memory foam layer, and deeper sinkage.

All foam mattresses simply don’t breathe as well as hybrid and other mattress types with coils. In addition, memory foam generally retains more heat than other foam types like poly foam and latex.

• Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
• Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
• Ending Temperature (5 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes

Lastly, the deeper sinkage means there is more material wrapping up and around the body, which further limits breathability.

Notably, the mattress is equipped with cooling fibers and cooling phase change materials. I expect these are having some type of a positive impact, but it doesn’t appear to be enough to outweigh the heat-retentive qualities from the all-foam design.

In our objective temperature tests, we measured a max surface level temperature of 92.0° F. This is 2.0° warmer than the average of 90.0° F, based on all of our tests to date.

After getting off the mattress, the temperature declined by 4.8 degrees from minutes 0 to 1, which is 0.0 degrees cooler than the average 0 to 1 minute decline of 4.8 degrees.

When we consider the combination of objective data, my subjective experiences, and an analysis of the materials, I’m confident in my view that cooling is good.

The DreamCloud Luxe has deep sinkage. During our tests, we measured a pressure point sinkage depth of 2.34″. This is 0.13″ more sinkage than the average sinkage depth of 2.21″, based on all of our tests to date.

The level of sinkage is documented in the image below.

The mattress creates a dramatic body contouring hug. Fundamentally, this is a memory foam mattress and that memory foam forms to the exact and unique shape of your body.

There is lots of hug and body contouring on this mattress and it has a very classic memory foam feel.

This is neither good nor bad, but it is a specific feel. You’ll absolutely need to love the feel of memory foam to be comfortable on this mattress.

The DreamCloud Luxe has a very low level of motion transfer. During our tests, we measured a total acceleration range of 6.83 m/s². This is 22% less motion transfer than the average of 8.78 m/s².

This mattress benefits greatly from the all foam design and thick 3.0” memory foam layer.

The level of motion transfer is also documented in the video below.

Memory foam in particular does an amazing job at absorbing energy, reducing bounce, and dispersing motion.

In our motion transfer chart, which visualizes our accelerometer data, we can see the highest motion peaks from 0 to 0.25 seconds. Immediately thereafter, motion declines significantly.

By 0.45 seconds, we’ve returned to near-zero levels of energy, which is 0.43 seconds shorter than the average motion duration of 0.88 seconds. Both the motion duration and motion intensity are well below average.

The DreamCloud Luxe has a very fast material response. In our mostly recovered test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.3 seconds, which is 0.10 seconds faster than the average of 0.40 seconds, based on all of our tests to date.

In our fully recovered responsiveness test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.6 seconds, which is 0.40 seconds faster than the average of 1.00 seconds. While these responsiveness speeds aren’t quite instant, they are still notably faster than average.

Typically, all foam mattresses, especially those that contain thick memory foam layers, struggle more with material recovery. However, that isn’t what we measured with the DreamCloud Luxe.

The level of responsiveness is documented in the video below.

Despite its memory foam design, the mattress layers are able to recover back to shape quickly, which prevents a type of stuck feeling and makes overall ease of movement better on the mattress.

The DreamCloud Luxe has a very low level of bounce. During our tests, we measured a total bounce height of 4.64″. This is 4.26″ less bounce than the average of 8.90″, based on all of our tests to date.

The same design factors that create low motion transfer are also responsible for the lower level of bounce. The all-foam design and 3.0” memory foam layer disperse a ton of energy and don’t rebound much energy.

This combination means the mattress just doesn’t create much bounce. That lower bounce is a major reason that motion transfer is well below average.

The level of bounce is also documented in the video below.

Even so, a low bounce also means that sex performance is negatively impacted. As such, low bounce is a double-edged sword. Lower bounce is great for low motion, but amorous activities may suffer.

The DreamCloud Luxe has excellent sitting edge support and good lying edge support.

In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 3.75″. This is 0.20″ less sitting sinkage than the average of 3.95″, based on all of our tests to date.

The level of edge support while seated is documented in the images below.

While lying directly on the edge of the mattress, I felt that the support was good in all sleeping positions, even so, it’s clear it doesn’t rise to the excellent or outstanding level.

The thick memory foam comfort layer, dramatic body contour, and deeper sinkage create a weakening of support along the edge.

The level of edge support while lying is documented in the images below.

While the extra hug and contour from the memory foam creates amazing feel and pressure relief in the middle of the mattress, along the edge it weakens the supportive feel. In addition, we don’t have any reinforced edge support layers on this mattress. Overall, the edge performance is excellent for sitting edge support, but could have been for lying edge support.

The DreamCloud Luxe has mediocre sex performance. Let’s start with where DreamCloud Luxe does well. Noise is minimal and pressure relief is outstanding. In addition, edge support is excellent with 3.75” of sitting edge sinkage.

The more robust sitting edge sinkage means that the edge is a functional and usable part of the mattress for amorous activities. Moving on with middling performance, we have cooling, which earned a good score. Mind you, it’s not perfect cooling, but it’s good enough for the dance without pants.

Last but not least, we have bounce, which we measured at 4.64”. There is just no sugar coating it, this is a very low level of bounce and the lack of bounce is a tremendous detriment to the overall sex performance on the mattress.

While the mattress is quiet, comfortable, and supportive, the lack of bounce means that sex performance is more strenuous, more tiring, and less engaging.

Sex Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Rating
Bounce	65%	5.4	Very Low
Edge Support	20%	9.1	Excellent
Noise	5%	10	Minimal
Pressure Relief	5%	10	Outstanding
Cooling	5%	8.0	Good

The limited sex performance on the DreamCloud Luxe isn’t really an issue with DreamCloud specifically, but rather most all foam memory foam mattresses. Memory foam, by design, reduces bounce in order to limit motion transfer.

If you want the benefits of memory foam, which include lower motion transfer, outstanding pressure relief, and a dramatic body contouring hug, one of the performance criteria you’ll have to give up is ideal sex performance.

The DreamCloud Luxe has an outstanding level of pressure relief. During our tests, I felt no notable pressure points on my body. Quite the opposite in fact, this mattress is exceedingly comfortable and I felt significant pressure relief lying in the same position for extended periods of time.

The mattress is equipped with 7.0″ of comfort material, which is 2.74″ more comfort material than the average comfort layer thickness of 4.26″, based on all of our tests to date.

The quality of the material looks and feels great, both on the body and in hand.

Certainly, the thicker-than-average comfort layer and thicker-than-average total profile, in combination with the high-quality foams, are all contributing to the above-average pressure relief dynamic.

In our objective pressure mapping tests, we measured a max PSI of 0.52. Ideally, I want to see PSI at 1.0 or below and DreamCloud easily cleared that benchmark.

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Side Sleepers	0.10	0.48

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Back Sleepers	0.06	0.52

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Stomach Sleepers	0.08	0.48

When I consider our objective pressure mapping tests, material thickness, material quality, and my subjective experience on the mattress, I’m confident most sleepers will find the pressure relief to be outstanding.

The DreamCloud Luxe had a strong smell upon the initial unboxing. The mattress smelled for 5 days. This is 1.9 days shorter than the average smell duration of 6.9 days.

Dreamcloud mattresses come with a 365-night trial period and a lifetime warranty. Shipping and returns are both free.

Company Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Data
Returns	40%	10	$0
Trial Period	30%	10	365 nights
Warranty	20%	10	Lifetime
Shipping	10%	10	$0
Country of Origin	0%		USA

Comparing 101+ brands tested to date, the average trial period is 172 nights, 193 nights less than Dreamcloud offers.

The DreamCloud Luxe is also backed by a lifetime warranty. To date, 39% of mattresses we’ve tested have lifetime warranties and the average of the other 61% of mattresses is 13 years.

The DreamCloud Luxe comes in a single firmness, 6 out of 10, which gives the mattress a medium-firm feel.

This firmness is generally well-suited for a wide variety of sleeper preferences. It is firm enough to provide support, but also soft enough for good pressure relief.

Support on the DreamCloud Luxe is excellent. During our tests, I felt well supported in all sleeping positions. The mattress is equipped with a 7.5″ support layer. This is 0.4″ thinner than the average support layer thickness of 7.9″, based on all of our tests to date.

Support Factor	Data
Comfort Layer	7.0″
Support Layer	7.5″
Firmness	Medium-Firm
Body Contour	Dramatic
Zoned Support	Yes
Reinforced Edge	No

This mattress is available in a single firmness, which we rated at a medium-firm feel, 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. The medium-firm feel is ideal for most body types and sleeping positions.

According to DreamCloud, the mattress uses a zoned foam layer within the core of the mattress. However, the mattress we tested was not equipped with this zonal layer. When zoned support is present, it can help reduce sagging in the middle of the mattress and provide additional lumbar support.

The biggest factor to consider with respect to support is the all-foam memory foam design. Memory foam isn’t ideal for all sleepers, and this is fundamentally a memory foam mattress. It has a dramatic and exacting body contouring hug, slower material recovery, and lower bounce.

Check out the table below to see the sleeper weights and sleeping positions that would be best suited for this mattress.

Sleeper Weight	Stomach Sleeper	Side Sleeper	Back Sleeper
Under 150 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
150-250 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
250-300 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes

Those who love the feel of memory foam will love this mattress and those who don’t will not. The memory foam feel can be more polarizing for some sleepers.

Based on all of my tests to date, an analysis of the materials, and my subjective experiences, I’m confident most sleepers will find support on the DreamCloud Luxe is excellent.

The DreamCloud Luxe is a 14.5″ memory foam mattress that comes in a single firmness option—Medium-Firm.

This mattress is offered as an all-foam mattress (this mattress we tested here) and also a hybrid—the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid. You can read the full review here.

The overall performance score of both of these mattresses is incredibly close. Opting for the hybrid version does provide the advantage of less sinkage and better cooling performance.

The DreamCloud Luxe is 14.5″ thick and contains only foam. From top to bottom, here is a full list of the materials used in this mattress:

Layer Type	Thickness	Layer Specs
Quilted Cover	2.0″	Not Available
Memory Foam	3.0″	Not Available
Poly Foam	2.0″	Not Available
Support Foam	7.5″	Not Available

The DreamCloud Luxe has a 2.0″ quilted cover that is plush and has a scalloped stitching pattern, with an offset border, that gives the mattress surface a more luxurious feel.

Additionally, there are handles sewn into the sides of the mattress, which makes it easier to move or rotate the mattress.

The comfort layer is 7.0″ thick, including the quilted cover. Beneath the cover, there is a 2.0″ memory foam layer (white foam) followed by a 1.5″ transitional poly foam layer (blue foam).

These layers are all working together to provide comfort and pressure relief.

I’ll also add here that DreamCloud’s website says the transitional poly foam is tri-zoned, with a different support dynamic at different points on the mattress. That said, there is no visual indication of these zones for the specific mattress we tested.

The support layer is 7.5″ thick and made of a single layer of support foam (green foam). This gives the mattress a simple, yet proven, design for comfort and support.

Product Evolution

DreamCloud launched from the same makers of the Nectar mattress, with Nectar launching in 2017 and DreamCloud following shortly after in 2018.

DreamCloud offers a collection that includes hybrid mattresses as well as memory foam mattresses.

In 2025, Dreamcloud completely redesigned its mattress and brought manufacturing back to the US (as they were recently acquired by Ashley Sleep).

The DreamCloud Luxe is a new model for DreamCloud, but it is not the first memory foam mattress to hit their collection.

Other memory foam mattresses from DreamCloud include the DreamCloud Classic, Premier, and Ultra.

We have tested the DreamCloud Classic, and it earned an overall performance score of 8.06.

We also tested the DreamCloud Premier, with an overall performance score of 8.33.

Considering these two mattresses as well as the performance of the DreamCloud Luxe, the Luxe has the highest performance among all three.
