DreamCloud and Casper take different routes to comfort: a firm, coil-based hybrid versus zoned foam and hybrid designs. Here is how they compare and who each one suits.
DreamCloud and Casper are two of the most searched bed-in-a-box brands, and they solve the same problem in different ways. DreamCloud is built around one idea: a thick, coil-based hybrid with a quilted Euro top that feels more like a traditional showroom mattress than a foam box bed. Casper made its name with foam and has since grown into a lineup of all-foam and hybrid models, most of them built around zoned support. Here is how they compare, who each one suits, and how to test a similar feel in Los Angeles before you commit.
Pick DreamCloud if you want a firmer, thicker hybrid with strong edge support, the bounce of pocketed coils and a lot of mattress for a mid-range price. It suits back and stomach sleepers, heavier sleepers and anyone who likes to sleep on top of the bed rather than in it.
Pick Casper if you sleep on your side, want targeted pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, and prefer the slower, softer response of foam. Its zoned designs make it the better choice for lighter side sleepers and for people who want an all-foam option.
| Factor | DreamCloud | Casper |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Hybrid: memory foam and transition foams over individually pocketed coils, finished with a quilted Euro-top cover | All-foam and hybrid models; most use zoned foam or zoned coils, with perforated foams for airflow |
| Feel and firmness | Medium-firm on the flagship; plush top layer over a supportive, bouncy base | Varies by model, from medium-soft to medium-firm; more contouring and slower response |
| Best-suited sleeper | Back, stomach and combination sleepers; heavier sleepers | Side sleepers and lighter-weight sleepers who want pressure relief |
| Motion isolation | Good; pocketed coils and foam absorb most movement, with some bounce | Very good on all-foam models; good on hybrids |
| Cooling | Good; coil layer allows airflow, although the thick foam top holds some heat | Good on hybrids and perforated-foam models; all-foam models run warmer |
| Edge support | Strong; reinforced coil perimeter | Moderate on all-foam models; better on hybrids |
| Typical price tier | Mid-range | Mid-range to premium, depending on model |
| Trial and warranty | Long home trial and a long warranty; confirm current terms with the brand | Home trial and multi-year warranty; confirm current terms with the brand |
| Where to buy | Mostly online, plus select retail partners | Online and through selected retailers |
DreamCloud's appeal is simple: you get a tall, substantial hybrid that looks and feels like a luxury mattress without luxury pricing. The pocketed coil core gives real support under the hips and a responsive feel that makes it easy to change positions. The quilted Euro top softens the first contact, so the bed feels cushioned without letting heavier bodies sink too deep.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Casper's signature is zoned support: softer foam or coils under the shoulders and firmer support under the hips and lower back. For side sleepers, that design is useful, because it lets the shoulder sink while keeping the waist from sagging. Casper also offers more choice than DreamCloud, with all-foam models at the lower end and hybrids with extra cooling features further up the range.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Casper is usually the better fit, especially if you weigh under about 180 pounds. The zoned support relieves shoulder pressure better than DreamCloud's firmer surface. If you like DreamCloud's coil support, a softer hybrid is a better match than its medium-firm flagship.
Lean toward a hybrid. DreamCloud's coil core breathes better than an all-foam Casper, although its thick foam top holds some heat. If you prefer Casper, choose one of its hybrid models rather than an all-foam bed.
Both handle motion well. DreamCloud's stronger edges give couples more usable surface, especially on a queen. If one partner is a very light sleeper, an all-foam Casper will absorb movement a little better.
Back sleepers with lower back pain usually do well on DreamCloud's medium-firm support. Side sleepers with back pain often do better on Casper's zoned designs, which keep the spine straighter when you lie on your side. The right answer depends on your sleep position more than on the brand.
DreamCloud generally gives you more height and material for the money. Casper's all-foam models can cost less, but its hybrids usually cost more. Both brands run frequent promotions, so compare prices on the day you buy.
LA Mattress Store does not sell DreamCloud or Casper. What we do carry are online-native brands you can actually lie on in our five Los Angeles showrooms, which is the fastest way to find out whether you are a coil person or a foam person.
Browse our hybrid mattresses or the mattresses for side sleepers collection, then come test them in person. We offer same-day delivery across Los Angeles and a free 120-night comfort guarantee. For more on each brand, see our guides to Casper alternatives in Los Angeles and DreamCloud alternatives in Los Angeles.
For most back, stomach and combination sleepers, yes. It offers a supportive coil core, a cushioned Euro top and strong edges at a mid-range price. Lighter side sleepers may find it too firm and should consider a softer hybrid.
Casper mattresses are well regarded for pressure relief and motion isolation, particularly for side sleepers. The main trade-offs are warmer sleep on the all-foam models and softer edges. Its hybrid models address both, at a higher price.
Like most quality foam and hybrid mattresses, you can expect roughly seven to ten years with good care. Rotating the mattress, using a proper base and protecting it from spills all help. Hybrids tend to hold their shape a little longer than all-foam beds.
DreamCloud is sold mainly online, with a limited number of retail partners, so it can be hard to try in person. If you want to test a similar coil-supported hybrid feel in Los Angeles, our showrooms carry Helix, Brooklyn Bedding and Birch hybrids.
No. Casper and DreamCloud both work on a solid platform, a slatted base with closely spaced slats, or an adjustable base. A traditional box spring is not required, but whatever you use must give firm, even support.
