DreamCloud

Overall, I would agree with most reviewers that this bed is very good and deserves the excellent reviews it generally gets. In terms of firmness, I find that the DreamCloud has excellent all-around performance, though I feel it is slightly on the softer side even though many reviews say that it's on the firmer side (I'm 6' and about 200 lbs.). It's really comfortable, especially for back sleepers. It does a great job of cushioning support but without that hammock sensation. You do stay on top of the bed but it yields enough for side-sleepers. The Euro-top does not sink in like many pillow-tops, but does support you while also allowing pressure relief. Some reviewers have complained about the tufting and stated it was distracting. I don't find that at all. I like the tufts. They're the little "dream clouds" the bed is named after and they are supportive, pressure relieving, and comfortable all at the same time. I don't notice them in any way when I'm sleeping, but when I'm laying in bed reading, they feel very nice. For the negatives, the biggest one is the side support. I'm used to traditional coil mattresses and the DreamCloud lacks the rigid sides found on those types of mattresses. (I've never had an all-foam mattress, but I gather that they have almost no side support so maybe that is why the DreamCloud often gets average reviews for side support, rather than negative ones.) My biggest problem is that when we opened the bed (BTW the king size is really big and REALLY heavy) the sides never became fully vertical. They had, and still have, a slight bow to them. The same can be said for the horizontal profile. When the mattress is in the bed frame, a curve is clearly visible from header to footer. This definitely bothers me, though I'm not sure if it affects the performance of the mattress in any way.
