DreamCloud vs. Saatva Mattress Comparison
DreamCloud vs. Saatva Mattress Comparison
DreamCloud launched in 2018. The brand’s flagship bed is the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress, also known as the DreamCloud. The mattress features comfort layers of gel-infused memory foam, quilted memory foam, natural latex, and standard memory foam. Its support core is constructed with a memory foam transitional layer, pocketed coils encased in high-density foam, and a high-density memory foam base. The DreamCloud has a Euro-top cover made of tufted cashmere. It measures 15 inches thick. In terms of firmness it is ‘Medium Firm,’ or a 6.5 on the 1-10 firmness scale.
Saatva has been in business since 2011. The brand’s flagship mattress, known as the Saatva Classic, is an innerspring model constructed with a foam-padded Euro-top cover, polyfoam and memory foam comfort layers, a transitional pocketed coil layer, and a Bonnell coil support core. The Saatva is offered in two thickness profiles: 11 1/2 inches and 14 1/2 inches. It is also available in ‘Medium Soft’ (4), ‘Medium Firm’ (6), and ‘Firm’ (7.5) settings.
Please note: Saatva offers additional mattress models. These include the Saatva HD coil-on-coil innerspring designed for heavier individuals, a luxury memory foam mattress known as the Loom & Leaf, a flippable latex mattress known as the Zenhaven, and an adjustable airbed known as the Solaire. This guide focuses exclusively on the flagship Saatva and DreamCloud mattresses. To learn more about other Saatva models, please visit our Loom & Leaf Mattress Reviews, Zenhaven Mattress Reviews, Saatva HD Mattress Reviews, and Solaire Mattress Reviews pages.
The DreamCloud and Saatva share some notable characteristics, including thicker-than-average profiles, sophisticated comfort systems, and resilient coil support. However, these beds also differ in several key ways. This guide will compare both beds in terms of pricing, construction, and performance, and also discuss the shipping, return, and warranty policies of both brands.

Pressure Relief
x
This refers to the degree to which a mattress molds to or cradles the contours of the body. This helps alleviate pressure point pain, especially on the hips and shoulders.
Customers and Tuck testing found the DreamCloud's firm feel doesn't conform to the body to a great degree, but it is on par with most hybrid models.

Temperature Neutrality
x
The temperature of a mattress throughout the night is affected by how much body heat is retained. Several factors affect temperature neutrality, including material composition, layer thickness, and dissipation of heat through airflow.
Though it uses dense foams in its comfort layers, the DreamCloud's cover and coil support base help the mattress sleep cool.

Edge Support
x
The degree to which the perimeter of the mattress supports body weight. In some cases, mattresses may sink when weight is applied. This sinkage, often called “roll-off”, affects how closely you might sleep to the edge of the bed.
Customers ocassionally complain of weaker edge support in the DreamCloud. Our tests backed this up. There is some roll-off with the bed as the perimeter is not reinforced very well, but the mattress still provides better reinforcement than most competing all-foam or all-latex models.

Motion Isolation
x
A measure of how effectively a mattress absorbs motion across its surface, preventing partner disturbance.
Like other innersprings, the Saatva mattress does not absorb or minimize motion to a significant extent. This may be problematic for certain sleepers, such as couples who share a bed, since minimal motion isolation can lead to sleep disruptions.

This refers to the degree to which a mattress molds to or cradles the contours of the body. This helps alleviate pressure point pain, especially on the hips and shoulders.
Saatva features coil-on-coil construction and memory foam in the comfort layer. This allows the mattress to conform more closely and relieve pressure to a greater extent than many competing innersprings — but all-foam and latex mattresses are considered the best option for sleepers that prefer close conforming and targeted pressure relief.

The temperature of a mattress throughout the night is affected by how much body heat is retained. Several factors affect temperature neutrality, including material composition, layer thickness, and dissipation of heat through airflow.
Mattresses that contain foam and memory foam tend to sleep the hottest. Saatva has a more traditional innerspring construction so our testing along with data analysis show that it's one of the cooler mattress options on the market today compared to all-foam competitors.

Sleep Position Ratings
DreamCloud
The DreamCloud’s ‘Medium Firm’ surface makes the bed optimal for heavier side sleepers, as well as back and stomach sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds. The bed’s thick profile can also be helpful for heavier individuals, since people in this weight group often struggle getting on and off lower-profile mattresses. The DreamCloud may be too firm for lighter individuals – particularly side sleepers who need extra cushioning for their shoulders and hips in order to experience healthy spinal alignment.
Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic is available in multiple thickness and firmness settings. The selection should accommodate a wide range of sleepers. The ‘Medium Soft’ setting is a good option for lighter people – side sleepers, in particular – while the firmer settings may be more suitable for heavier back and stomach sleepers. Both profile options are thicker than average, which can also benefit heavier people who struggle getting on and off lower mattresses.

Mattress Construction
Now let’s take a closer look at how these mattresses are made. The following table includes firmness, thickness, weight, and material composition specs for the DreamCloud and Saatva models.
The DreamCloud is constructed with a Euro-top cover made from hand-tufted cashmere that measures 2 inches thick. It also has comfort layers of gel-infused memory foam, quilted memory foam, natural latex, and standard memory foam; these components collectively measure 3 inches thick, resulting in 5 inches of comfort layer padding. This makes the mattress suitable for sleepers who prefer extra cushioning on their sleep surface.
The pocketed coils are encased in high-density foam, which helps prevent sagging in the sleep surface. The coils are also zoned, with thicker-gauge springs located beneath the sleeper’s heaviest areas, such as the shoulders and hips, which results in targeted support and even weight displacement. Other benefits of the DreamCloud include great temperature neutrality and above-average motion isolation.
How Is the Saatva Built?
The Saatva – like the DreamCloud – has a sophisticated design that sets it apart from many competing innersprings and hybrids. The bed is made with a ‘coil-on-coil’ system consisting of pocketed coils in the comfort system, which provide extra sleeper support, and resilient, steel-tempered bonnell coils in the support core. Additional comfort layers of polyfoam and memory foam provide consistent body conforming, which can help alleviate aches, pains, and pressure points for sleepers.
The Saatva also sleeps very cool due to strong air circulation through both coil layers. Its breathable organic cotton cover also helps regulate the sleeper’s temperature. Additionally, the Saatva is fairly responsive, which many couples say is best for sex, but noise potential is also fairly low.
