Dreamfoam Mattress Review

Here are several relevant and useful comments from buyers considering or have already purchased Dreamfoam Mattress.

• User 1: "I loved this mattress when I first bought it. I am a side sleeper, and lightweight, so I thought I would need a softer mattress. Trying out mattresses in the store confirmed this, but I didn't want to go too soft for risk of back pain.
After talking to the Dreamfoam team, who are wonderful and very responsive, I ordered a 6 - plush/medium, which sounded ideal. It arrived in days, I unrolled it onto my platform bed, and slept like a baby for about a year.
It's now been three years, however, since I bought the mattress, and sadly my fears about back pain came true. The mattress softened within the first few months of me using it, to just beyond my comfort level, and after about 18 months developed the 'dip' in my normal sleeping spot others have warned about - no so deep so as to trigger a warranty claim, but enough so that I toss and turn, and wake up with back pain. I've rotated the mattress a few times, but between me and my boyfriend the 'dips' are now pretty set on both sides, and rotating doesn't help anymore. We are likely going to be upgrading soon, which seems sad considering that I'd hoped to get at least 5 or more years out of a new mattress, not just 3.
For anyone buying now I'd suggest buying at least one level firmer than you think you need, and realizing that the mattress isn't going to hold up as long as perhaps a full-latex or higher-quality base foam model would."

• User 2: "This mattress has an appropriate level of support for proper body alignment and the right amount of cushion so that there is contact between the bed and my lower back and there are no pressure points.
However, this bed traps heat and gets warm enough so that I wake up sweating and have to throw off the covers. Waking up sweaty when you went to bed clean, dry and comfortable is really frustrating.
I keep my room at 67 degrees and have never had this problem with any other mattress. My room temperature has not changed. My bed coverings have not changed. The only thing new is this bed.
The foam material is of a latex composition. If you have ever worn latex gloves for any length of time, you have probably had the experience of having your hands wringing wet when you pull them out of the gloves. This is the situation with this bed. I dread the the thought of sleeping in this bed in the summer.
I have asked Ultimate Dreams if they would give me a cool topper of some kind to prevent the heat problem.
I have gone back and forth with them via e-mail several times. They have dropped the ball...again. Apparently, they are not interested in resolving the matter. I had higher hopes."

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Dreamfoam mattress is extremely subjective.

Firmness isn't the only factor to consider when you're mattress shopping.

Choosing the right bed starts with figuring out how your body responds to lying at different angles.

It's important to understand how a mattress relieves pain and distributes pressure on your sensitive points (neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, arms, hips, legs), as well as how it feels for couples and sex.

COMFORT SUMMARY
Firmness is highly subjective and varies between individuals. What feels firm to one person might feel soft to another.

You should be wary of reviews that make definitive statements about how a mattress will make you feel while you sleep.

Dreamfoam has 4 models each with a single firmness that does a good enough job ensuring you're major sensitive pressure points are accommodated.

EDGE SUPPORT
• There's some sinking around the edges (at least for their foam variants). You'll be fine with their pocketed coil hybrid.
• If you're looking for firm edges, get a coil hybrid design (Saatva is a suitable example).

Note: Edge support is a term used to describe how well mattress edges sustain concentrated weight without collapsing.

Good edge support is important. It helps your mattress last longer (less sagging) and creates a larger overall sleep surface (bonus for couples).

Don't be fooled by low-quality mattresses that appear to have good edge support at first. They break down faster and you'll end up with a bigger headache down the line.

SIDE SLEEPERS
• Your shoulders, hips and torso must evenly distribute support if you sleep on your side. Otherwise concentrated pressure causes long term nerve and pain-related issues.
• It might be uncomfortable for a side sleeper. Materials are cheap and construction longevity is concerning. We recommend higher priced alternatives (this is an investment in your future, after all).

BACK/STOMACH SLEEPERS
• When you sleep on your back & stomach, your biggest concern should be finding a mattress that keeps your hips from sinking too far in. This knocks your spine out of alignment.
• Dreamfoam isn't a good choice for back and stomach sleepers. Cheap foams mean you'll likely sink into the mattress after just a few short months (if that).

Here are a few facts about Dreamfoam mattress construction:

• Type - hybrid and memory foam
• Design - tight-top
• Bed in a Box? - bed-in-a-box.
• Height - 6-14"
• Weight (Queen) - unknown weight

• Cover - there is no cover information available
• Comfort Layer - foam
• Transition Layer - foam
• Support Layer - gel foam
• Other Notable Specs -

Note: A taller and heavier mattress typically (but not always) indicate better quality.

Support refers to how long the Dreamfoam Mattress lasts over a reasonable expectation of 7-10 years (average mattress lifespan).

Motion transfer refers to the amount of disturbance you'd experience from one side of the mattress to another. Motion transfer is important for couples, especially if your partner tosses & turns (most do).

MOTION TRANSFER

Motion transfer measures how much movement changes between sides of the bed. You'll need a motion-isolating mattress if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night. Less motion means better sleep.

There's a fair bit of motion transference with movement (at least the pocketed coil models). Unless you're a deep sleeper, you're likely to feel the movements of your pet or partner.
