Dreamfoam Essential 8"
GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Dreamfoam Essential 8"
Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
BEST if you
- Want a very firm mattress
- Are mainly a stomach sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for back sleepers)
- Have a clear preference for sleeping 'on' your mattress rather than 'in' it
- Would like a mattress that performs very well when used with an adjustable base
- Prefer a slightly below average amount of 'memory feel'
NOT IDEAL if you
- Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
- Like your mattress to have some bounce
- Have a strong tendency to sleep hot (temperature regulation is OK, but not the best)
- Frequently sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support isn't the best, but is still pretty good)

Yes, the Dreamfoam Essential 8" mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the Dreamfoam Essential 8" to have very good adjustable base compatibility.
