Best For
- Excellent cooling performance
- Low levels of motion transfer, 24% less motion than average
- Exceptional pressure relief with 6.0″ comfort layer
Considerations
- Very slow material response time, over 2 seconds for full recovery
- Lacking edge support, both when sitting and lying
- Mediocre sex performance score, largely due to the very low levels of bounce
Our Verdict
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is a 15.00″ memory foam hybrid mattress made of memory foam, poly foam, and a pocketed coil support layer. It has a 1.0″ quilted cover, which provides comfort without excess contour.
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is available in a single firmness level — medium. This rates at a 5 out of 10 in our firmness scale.
This mattress has very deep sinkage and very low levels of bounce. You’ll need to really prefer sleeping “in the mattress” opposed to “on the mattress” in order to find this comfort dynamic comfortable.
In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 8.55, ranking the mattress in the bottom 40% of all mattresses tested to date. If we look exclusively at memory foam hybrids, that rank drops to the bottom 17%.
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is $1,999 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 23% more expensive than the average memory foam hybrid. Given the below average performance and above average price, it’s not an ideal value. If you love the medium feel, the feel of memory foam, and don’t mind the draw backs (response time, edge support, and sex) then the Ultra Hybrid could be a good choice.
Alternatively, go with the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid, which has a similar feel, but earned a notably better score and is also less expensive.

How is Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid Different?
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is a 15.00″ memory foam hybrid mattress with an overall performance level that is lower than average and a price tag that is higher than average. This is not the balance that we like to see from any mattress and ultimately makes the value less-than-great.
Advantages
That being said, the Dreamcloud does have some good performance advantages to note. This mattress has better cooling performance, lower levels of motion transfer, and excellent pressure relief.
The mattress is also backed by a 365-night trial period and lifetime warranty.
Neutral Factors
The Ultra Hybrid has very deep sinkage and very low levels of bounce. For a memory foam hybrid, this is a neutral factor since lower bounce is definitely a classic “feel factor” for this type of mattress.
The deeper sinkage allows for sleepers to engage more deeply and receive higher levels of contour from the Dreamcloud. If you don’t prefer contour, this could be a disadvantage, but for sleepers who love the feel of memory foam, this will be an advantage.
Disadvantages
Disadvantages include a higher-than-average price, a slower material response time, weaker edge support, and poor sex performance. The disappointing sex score is largely a product of weaker edges and lower levels of bounce.
Cooling Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has excellent cooling. During our tests, I did not feel any significant level of heat retention around my body.
Baseline Temp.
78.7° F
Max. Temp.
89.9° F
Ending Temp.
80.3° F
Considering the subjective feel and the objective cooling data, the Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid does an excellent job at mitigating heat retention and keeping the surface cool.
This mattress is a hybrid design with a layer of coils on the base. Those coils are helping to bring more airflow into the mattress. In addition, we have a 6.0” comfort layer.
Max. Temp.
Ending Temp.
- 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
Typically, super thick comfort layers, especially those that contain memory foam, can struggle more with heat retention.
While the Dreamcloud isn’t perfect in this respect, the foams do seem to breathe well, especially compared to many other types of memory foam we’ve tested.
In our objective temperature tests, we measured a max surface level temperature of 89.9° F. This is 0.1° cooler than the average of 90.0° F, based on all of our tests to date.
After getting off the mattress, the temperature declined by 3.8 degrees from minutes 0 to 1, which is 1.0 degrees warmer than the average 0 to 1 minute decline of 4.8 degrees.
Heat Dissipation Over Time
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 excellent.
Sinkage Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has very deep sinkage. During our tests, we measured a pressure point sinkage depth of 2.65″. This is 0.43″ more sinkage than the average sinkage depth of 2.22″, based on all of our tests to date.
Sinkage Depth
2.65″
Sinkage Feel
Very Deep
Body Contour
Dramatic
The level of sinkage is documented in the image below.
The mattress creates a dramatic body contouring hug and has a classic memory foam feel. There is a lot of hug, a lot of body contour, a slower material recovery speed, and of course, the very deep sinkage level. This isn’t good or bad, but it is a very specific feel.
To be comfortable on this mattress, you’ll really need to love the feel of memory foam, deep sinkage, and lots of hugging sensation around your body’s unique shape.
Motion Transfer Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has a very low level of motion transfer. During our tests, we measured a total acceleration range of 6.68 m/s².
Accel. Range
6.68 m/s²
Motion Duration
1.06 seconds
This is 24% less motion transfer than the average of 8.79 m/s². This mattress benefits from a thicker-than-average comfort layer and a comfort layer built primarily from memory foam.
Memory foam does a great job at dispersing energy and reducing bounce, both of which result in lower motion transfer. In addition, the slower material recovery speed is also helping to reduce motion.
The level of motion transfer is also documented in the video below.
In our motion transfer chart, which visualizes our accelerometer data, we can see the highest motion peaks from 0 to 0.2 seconds. Motion begins to decline rapidly thereafter.
By 1.06 seconds, we’ve returned to near-zero levels of energy, which is 0.18 seconds longer than the average motion duration of 0.88 seconds.
While the motion duration was a bit slower than average, the motion intensity is considerably lower than average.
That lower motion intensity means that even with a slightly longer duration the motion really won’t be significantly felt on the mattress.
Motion Transfer Over Time
Overall, I’m pleased with this level of motion transfer and don’t expect it will be an issue for most sleepers.
Response Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has a very slow material response. In our mostly recovered test, we measured a recovery speed of 1.0 seconds, which is 0.59 seconds slower than the average of 0.41 seconds, based on all of our tests to date.
Mostly Recovered
1.0 sec.
Fully Recovered
2.2 sec.
In our fully recovered responsiveness test, we measured a recovery speed of 2.2 seconds, which is 1.18 seconds slower than the average of 1.02 seconds. This mattress is equipped with a more traditionally formulated memory foam.
The level of responsiveness is documented in the video below.
This memory foam creates lots of hug and lots of contour, and perhaps most notably, takes longer to recover and reform back to its original shape after it has been compressed.
That slower responsiveness, especially combined with the very deep sinkage, makes this mattress more difficult to move around and change positions.
Bounce Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has a very low level of bounce. During our tests, we measured a total bounce height of 5.38″. This is 3.44″ less bounce than the average of 8.82″, based on all of our tests to date.
Max. Depth
4.89″
Max. Rebound
0.49″
Total Bounce
5.38″
This mattress has two big factors that are reducing bounce, including a considerably thicker than average comfort layer and a comfort layer that is predominantly memory foam. The memory foam in particular has a more classic feel, with slower material recovery speed, very deep sinkage, and lots of hug.
Max. Sinkage Depth
Max. Bounce Height
The level of bounce is also documented in the video below.
From a pressure relief perspective, that feel is fantastic. However, those same attributes create the right conditions for lower bounce.
The lower bounce makes this mattress harder to move around on and also creates worse sex performance. However, that same lower bounce is also the reason motion transfer is lower, so there are trade-offs here.
Edge Support Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has fair sitting edge support and good lying edge support.
Max. Sinkage
5.00″
Lying Support
Good
Reinforced Edge
Yes
In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 5.00″. This is 1.07″ more sitting sinkage than the average of 3.93″, based on all of our tests to date.
The level of edge support while seated is documented in the images below.
Sitting, 140 lbs.
Sitting, 200 lbs.
While lying directly on the edge of the mattress, I felt that the support was good in all sleeping positions. This mattress uses two rows of reinforced edge support coils that run along the entire perimeter of the mattress.
These coils are having a positive impact on edge support and yet, they are not robust enough to overcome the challenges imposed by the comfort layer.
As with the all-foam version of the DreamCloud Ultra, there is a weakening of edge support due to the thick memory foam comfort layer.
The level of edge support while lying is documented in the images below.
Lying on Edge, 140 lbs.
Lying on Edge, 200 lbs.
When memory foam contours, hugs, and sinks at the edge, we experience the weaker support at the edge. This isn’t necessarily a problem with this mattress specifically, but rather many memory foam and memory foam hybrid mattresses, especially those with a more traditional memory foam feel.
Sex Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has mediocre sex performance. First up, let’s talk through what the mattress does well. Noise is minimal, cooling is excellent, and pressure relief is outstanding.
So if anything else, this mattress is comfortable. With a below-average performance, we have edge support, which we measured at 5.00” of sitting edge sinkage.
That deeper sitting edge sinkage means the edge of the mattress isn’t especially supportive, which limits the usable surface area of the mattress. Lastly, we have bounce, which we measured at 5.38”.
| Sex Factor | Factor Weight | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bounce | 65% | 5.8 | Very Low |
| Edge Support | 20% | 7.5 | Fair |
| Noise | 5% | 10 | Minimal |
| Pressure Relief | 5% | 10 | Outstanding |
| Cooling | 5% | 9.0 | Excellent |
This is considerably lower than the average bounce and the single biggest factor that is detrimental to sex performance.
When it comes to sex, more bounce is almost always better. Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid’s lack of bounce and edge support means this mattress simply isn’t great for amorous activities.
Pressure Relief Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has an outstanding level of pressure relief. During our tests, I felt no pressure points on my body.
Quite the opposite in fact. This mattress is incredibly comfortable, alleviates pressure, and evenly distributes the body’s weight.
Comfort Layer
6.00″
Support Layer
9.00″
The mattress is equipped with 6.0″ of comfort material, which is 1.73″ more comfort material than the average comfort layer thickness of 4.27″, based on all of our tests to date.
During our tests, I opened up the cover to look inside at the foam layers. The foam layers look and feel high quality, both on the body and in hand.
They aren’t the absolute best I’ve ever seen, but they are certainly better than many others we’ve tested at this price point.
The thick memory foam feel creates incredible comfort, pressure relief, and a notable body contouring hug. This comfort dynamic creates an even weight distribution and easily avoids pressure points.
In our objective pressure mapping tests, we measured a max PSI of 0.75. A PSI at or below 1.0 is ideally where I want to see pressure at and the Ultra Hybrid easily cleared that threshold.
Pressure Map – Side Sleepers
| Pressure Relief (PSI) | Average | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Side Sleepers | 0.10 | 0.33 |
Pressure Map – Back Sleepers
| Pressure Relief (PSI) | Average | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Back Sleepers | 0.07 | 0.75 |
Pressure Map – Stomach Sleepers
| Pressure Relief (PSI) | Average | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Stomach Sleepers | 0.06 | 0.41 |
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.
Off-Gassing Test
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid had a strong smell upon the initial unboxing. The mattress smelled for 6 days. This is 1.1 days shorter than the average smell duration of 7.1 days.
Initial Smell Strength
Strong
Off-Gassing Period
6 days

| Trial Period | 30% | 10 | 365 nights |
| Warranty | 20% | 10 | Lifetime |
| Shipping | 10% | 10 | $0 |
| Country of Origin | 0% | USA |
Comparing 103+ brands tested to date, the average trial period is 176 nights. Dreamcloud’s trial is 189 nights longer, providing a big advantage for sleepers who want an extended period to try it out.
How firm is Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid?
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is available in a single firmness, 5 out of 10, which gives the mattress a medium feel.
This firmness is suitable for a wide range of sleepers, but is just a touch softer than the most popular feel (medium-firm, 6 out of 10).
Support & Sleeping Positions
Support on the Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is outstanding. During our tests, I felt well supported in all sleeping positions. The mattress is equipped with a 9.0″ support layer.
This is 1.09″ thicker than the average support layer thickness of 7.91″, based on all of our tests to date.
| Support Factor | Data |
|---|---|
| Comfort Layer | 6.00″ |
| Support Layer | 9.00″ |
| Firmness | Medium |
| Body Contour | Dramatic |
| Zoned Support | Yes |
| Reinforced Edge | Yes |
For a mattress to feel supportive, the mattress must support the body, keeping the spine in neutral alignment, while also creating sufficient pressure relief and evenly distributing the body’s weight. The Ultra Hybrid achieved both of these requirements with ease.
We have ample material quantity and better-than-average material quality from top to bottom. The total mattress height, support layer, and comfort layer are all thicker than average.
This mattress uses zoned support via a layer of foam that’s directly on top of the support foam.
This layer is cut into 5 pieces with foam of varying densities, creating more support in the middle of the mattress. This helps create better support, less sagging, and a more neutral spinal alignment.
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 |
While I do think zoned support via a coil unit is preferable over foam zoned support, I would always rather have foam zoned support than none at all.
In addition, the Ultra Hybrid is also equipped with reinforced edge support coils along the perimeter, which extend the usable sleeping surface area.
Whether or not you like this support dynamic will really come down to whether or not you like the feel of memory foam. This is fundamentally a memory foam mattress.
It has lots of hug, lots of contour, very deep sinkage, and a slower material responsiveness. This isn’t good or bad, but it does create a more specific feel that you’ll want to be sure you prefer in order to find the DreamCloud Ultra Hybrid comfortable.
Based on all of my tests to date, an analysis of the materials, and my subjective experiences, I’m confident that most sleepers will find support on the Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid is outstanding.

The Cover
The Dreamcloud Ultra Hybrid has a 1.0″ quilted cover with a plush feel that is cool to the touch. It has a dramatic contour, despite not having an excessively plush cover.
The Comfort Layer
The comfort layer is 6.00″ thick, including the 1.0″ quilted cover. Below the cover, there are two layers of foam. On top, there is a 3.0″ memory foam followed by a 2.0″ poly foam.
At 6.0″ thick, this is significantly thicker than the average comfort layer, which is one of the major reasons why pressure relief on this mattress is so impressive.
These layers work together to provide comfort and transitional support as sleepers of all positions engage more deeply with the materials on this mattress.
The Support Layer
The support layer is 9.00″ thick and made of an 8.0″ pocketed coil system followed by a 1.0″ support foam base.
Product Evolution
DreamCloud came 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.
The DreamCloud Ultra Hybrid joined the collection in 2025, alongside the all-foam DreamCloud Ultra. Being newer models, these two mattresses have not undergone any major changes since being introduced to the lineup.
