Today's best DreamCloud deals – save up to 50% on the best box mattresses

A mattress is a major investment, but you shouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars to get a good one. When you take advantage of the DreamCloud mattress deals, you can shop plush memory foam models and high-tech hybrids for hundreds of dollars less than their listing price. As we approach the end-of-year sales, I'm starting to see 50% off some of America's best-selling beds. Plus, when you spend $1,000 on DreamCloud mattresses or bedding, you save an extra $100.

Before I specialized as H&G's sleep editor, I was a price tracker. I spent my dates surfing the sites of the major mattress merchants, waiting for deals to drop. I learned how to shop the mattress sales to get the deepest discounts on the best beds, all year round. I'm perfectly placed to bring you my edit of today's best DreamCloud mattress deals.

These days, I lead a team of expert testers to find the world's best mattress. For the sake of a fair fight, we score each mattress against the same criteria: pressure relief; thermoregulation; motion isolation; and edge support. We also consider all the practical parts of buying a mattress, from the length of the sleep trial to the all-important price. When you shop for mattress deals, a DreamCloud mattress can be downright affordable. Still, with so much listed for so little, it's easy to feel spoiled for choice. I'm here to help you decide which mattress type is best for you and show you how to get it at the lowest possible price.

Live DreamCloud deals

DreamCloud Memory Foam Mattress | Was $1,563, now $765 at DreamCloud

This is the entry-level memory foam model at DreamCloud. You get a nine-inch base layer for stability, topped with two inches of therapeutic gel memory foam to cushion your joints and keep you cool. I'd recommend this one for buyers on a budget looking for adaptive support.

DreamCloud Premier Memory Foam Mattress | Was $2,286, now $1,049 at DreamCloud

Now with an added inch of gel memory foam for squishy support and a thicker dynamic transition layer to minimize motion transfer. I'd recommend this 13" mattress for side sleepers in search of body contouring for pressure relief.

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress | Was $665, now $665 at DreamCloud

Out of all the mattresses our expert tester Camryn Rabideau has ever sampled, she likes the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress best. 'The edge support is excellent,' she says, 'though the motion isolation is a little lacking, but the highly affordable price more than makes up for it.'

DreamCloud Premier Hybrid Mattress | Was $2,196, now $949 at DreamCloud

DreamCloud rate their Hybrid Mattress as a 6.5 on a firmness scale of 1 to 10, but Camryn reckons it's more like a 7.5. If you're looking for something softer, consider upgrading to the Premier Hybrid Mattress: you get an extra half-inch of gel memory foam for pressure relief, plus a thicker transition layer to promote proper spinal alignment.

My favorite DreamCloud mattresses

For custom comfort at a reasonable price, DreamCloud is one of the best places to buy a mattress. Each DreamCloud mattress comes in two iterations − memory foam for pressure relief and motion isolation and hybrid for superior support and enhanced airflow.

Any DreamCloud mattress comes with a 365-night mattress sleep trial, which gives you plenty of time to test your mattress through all four seasons before you need to commit to your purchase. You're also protected by a lifetime mattress warranty, which covers defects in workmanship and materials. You get free shipping and returns and you can opt for an in-home set-up if you pay an extra fee.

When to shop for DreamCloud deals

There's an old saying that mattresses are always on sale. While there's some truth to it, especially in the age of online mattress shopping, some times of year are better than others for bargain hunting. Here's all you need to know about the best time to buy a mattress to make the most of your money.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday DreamCloud deals

There always seems to be a sale on at DreamCloud, so their Black Friday sales aren't quite as big a deal as those at, say, Saatva. I've found that DreamCloud prices stay pretty static from the middle of November onwards. Still, the overall discount is deep: we're talking 50% off site-wide, which often amounts to more than $1,000 in savings.

Usually, DreamCloud run their Black Friday mattress deals from the Monday before through the holiday weekend until the end of the next week. You've got plenty of time to shop the sales.

After-Christmas DreamCloud deals

If you don't get around to shopping the Black Friday mattress deals, you could still save on a DreamCloud mattress in the after-Christmas sales. The price may not be quite as low as it was over Black Friday weekend, but there won't be much in it: possibly another $50 or $100.

Federal holiday DreamCloud deals

If you're shopping outside of sales season (October to December), then the best time to buy a mattress is over a holiday weekend. Again, these discounts might not be quite as deep as you'll see over Black Friday, but you could still save hundreds of dollars.

DreamCloud uses any excuse for a sale: I've seen Daylight Savings and Election Day flash sales, alongside more standard sales events, such as Presidents' Day and Memorial Day.

Amazon Prime Day DreamCloud deals

The DreamCloud Amazon storefront runs regular discounts across their memory foam and hybrid mattresses. Often, the prices are slightly lower than you'll see on the DreamCloud site. Admittedly, we're talking another $50 off a $500 discount, but every cent counts.

How we source DreamCloud deals

To compile this DreamCloud deals page, I've consulted my mattress testing team to hear more about our long-term, at-home testing experience. Where I haven't been able to get my hands on a DreamCloud mattress, I've scoured the specifications and considered customer reviews to give the fullest possible picture of how the mattress feels and who it suits.

Then, I've spent hours shopping the DreamCloud site to bring you up-to-date information about pricing. As an eCommerce Editor, I like a good bargain, but I'll never compromise quality for cost. Where possible, I've included links to our full-length reviews to help you learn more about a particular mattress.

FAQs

Which DreamCloud mattress is best?

The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress offers the best value for money. Filled with supportive steel springs to bear your weight and topped with two inches of thick foam to cushion your joints, it strikes an optimal balance between comfort and support to suit all sleep positions. I'd recommend the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress for hot sleepers, couples, and anyone in need of pressure relief.

How firm is a DreamCloud mattress?

On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is super-soft and 10 is ultra-firm, DreamCloud rates their mattresses around a 6.5. Our expert tester Camryn Rabideau thinks it's more like a 7 or a 7.5: a little firmer, then, but soft enough for side sleepers and sufficiently supportive for back and stomach sleepers.

How does a DreamCloud mattress ship?

DreamCloud makes box mattresses: they come wrapped in plastic, vacuum-packed and compressed into cylinders, and shipped in cardboard boxes. If you're willing to pay a small extra fee, you can spring for the premium in-home set-up. A DreamCloud driver will carry your mattress to the room of your choice, set it up, and remove your old mattress for safe disposal.

You'll find a DreamCloud mattress in many of our bedding buying guides. It's rare that you see such advanced motion isolation and edge support in such a budget-friendly bed. You're not just paying for a mattress: you're paying for a 365-night home trial and a lifetime warranty, plus free shipping and returns.

To understand more about what it might be like to sleep on a DreamCloud mattress, read the customer reviews. Try to look past the star ratings to focus on the content of the reviews: what customers have to say about comfort, durability, and customer service. If you'd like to try a DreamCloud mattress before you buy one, you could visit one of the 4,000 DreamCloud stores across the country. Before you go, it's worth learning how to test a mattress in-store.

If you're still not sold on DreamCloud, but you know you need a new mattress, then it's time to widen your search. You could shop the Nectar mattress deals to find more affordable mattresses, designed with pressure relief at front of mind. If you have a little more money to spare, and you want the best of the best, you should browse the Saatva mattress deals. You'll find deep discounts on some of our top-rated mattress, including the Saatva Classic, our reigning champion for 'best mattress'.
