Dreamfoam Mattress Guide: Which Bed Should You Sleep On?
Wellness
Speaker 1: So what's the story with the dream foam lineup of mattresses? We're gonna talk about all of them in today's video.
Speaker 1: Hey, how's it going? This is Owen. I am Messena and we have our sort of brand overview of Dream Foam. Uh, dream Foam is actually a sub-brand of Brooklyn Bedding and they make four different mattresses, all of which are designed to be more affordable mattress options, and they have some pretty solid variety. We're gonna talk about all [00:00:30] four beds from Dream Foam and more information will be linked down below in the description, including discounts. So be sure to take a look. If you find this video helpful are interesting, give the thumbs up and subscribe to the channel and let's just dive right in by covering the basic policies for all four dream foam mattresses. This is stuff like shipping returns, trial periods, and warranties. Now we did get sent these beds for free so we can test them out and tell you about them, but if you get one for yourself, you start a free bed in a box shipping.
Speaker 1: This is how the vast majority of beds are delivered these days because it's just pretty easy and convenient to just get it delivered via FedEx or ups. Instead of dealing with [00:01:00] local delivery teams to deliver full-size beds, the unboxing process is very quick and easy to do. You just bring it inside, you open it up, you rip off all the plastic, and then you watch your brand new mattress inflate. Once the mattress arrives at your door, you get a trial period of 120 nights to sleep on the bed at home to determine if you like it and you wanna keep it. If you decide that you don't within the trial period, you can return it and get a full refund. But if you wind up keeping the bed, all four are backed by standard 10 year warranties. This is the same set of policies you would get with a mattress from Brooklyn Bedding, so lots to like there.
Speaker 1: We'll link more information down below in the [00:01:30] description, but that's not really the reason you're gonna be buying a mattress because most brands are very competitive with their policies. You're gonna know about the BES themselves, and we're gonna start with their most affordable option and work our way up starting with the dream foam essential. Now, the name of this mattress has actually changed over the years. When we first tested this bed, it was called the Dream Foam Chill memory foam, which was a bit of a mouthful, and I think the Dream Foam essential is a much nicer name. Now this mattress is pretty interesting. It's one of the few mattresses that actually come in many, many different high profiles. Sometimes [00:02:00] you'll find beds that come in like two or three, but this one has five. You can get it in a six inch and eight inch, a 10 inch, a 12 inch, and all the way up to a 14 inch.
Speaker 1: Whatever firmness profile you decide to go with will alter the construction and firmness of the mattresses quite a bit. The six and the eight inch models are only two foam layers. You have a dense support foam at the bottom and then a top layer of memory foam. The 10 inch model also uses two layers of foam, but the support layers are actually a little bit different than the six and the eight, it's not really worth mentioning [00:02:30] all that much. And then the 12 and the 14 are actually three layer constructions with a transition layer between the memory foam on top and the dent support foam, the price will also change quite a bit depending on which high profile you choose. With the six inch being the most affordable and the 14 inch being the most expensive, the 10 inch model is kind of their baseline and it's the lowest high profile I would go with if it's gonna be your every night sleeping mattress.
Speaker 1: The six and the eight inch models are more geared toward things like bunk beds or kids' beds or RV beds. I think you could probably [00:03:00] get by sleeping every night on the eight inch model, but I think it's probably worth it to spend up for the 10 inch. That 10 inch model is gonna be around a medium firm, maybe hair firmer than that on our firm scale, which means it's gonna be a great option for back stomach and combo sleepers. If you're looking for something softer, you obviously have the 12 inch and the 14 inch model to choose from, but the price will go up. So it's kind of a balancing act there. All of them will have a pretty dense memory foam feel overall, and if you are a fan of memory foam, I think you'll probably enjoy the field, although keeping in mind that [00:03:30] the six, the eight and the 10 are gonna be pretty darn firm.
Speaker 1: And speaking of beds designed for RVs, this mattress comes in a wide variety of sizes, not just standard Queen. You have the short full mattress, you have the Olympic Queen, and you have a ton of different RV sizes, so this is probably one of the best options out there for furnishing an RV mattress. Let's move over to the dream foam hybrid mattress now, which has way fewer options, and it's just designed to be a generally accommodating mattress that most people will probably like a queen [00:04:00] size retails for $600, which makes it extremely affordable. And in general, it has just a nice accommodating soft, neutral foam feel that I think the vast majority of sleepers will probably enjoy sleeping on. It might not be exactly what you're looking for if you're looking for more of a memory home feeling in your mattress. This really isn't it.
Speaker 1: But most people who try a mattress like this thinks it's just pretty nice and it does come in some unorthodox sizes like the dream foam essential, but not quite as many because this mattress features coils for its support base as opposed to foam. A coil mattress in our opinion, is [00:04:30] generally preferred if you were a heavier person somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 pounds or more because coils provide more long-term support and durability for heavier body types, you would probably be fine on an all foam bed for a little while, but it will wear out more quickly than a mattress with coils. So just keep that in mind. It's firmness level is also gonna be just as accommodating as its feel. It's around a flat medium on our firmness scale, which means it should work pretty well for everybody back. Some excite and combo sleepers.
Speaker 1: A medium firmness like this works especially well for couples and combo sleepers [00:05:00] because if you're sharing a mattress with a partner, there's a good chance that you might not agree on an exact firmness, but you should both be able to get by on a medium. And if you're a combo sleeper, you spend some the night on your side and some on your back, it should work just fine as well. This is kind of the mattress that if you kind of close your eyes and just pick one of the dream foam lineup, this is probably the one to go with just generally really accommodating. Plus, the cover on the Dream foam hybrid is slightly cool to the touch. It's not gonna be as active cooling as the much more Brooklyn bedding Aurora Lux, but I think [00:05:30] it will do a really nice job at helping you sleep more temperature neutral at night.
Speaker 1: So just a lot to like about the Dream Foam hybrid. Let's move on to talking about the Dream Foam latex mattress. In the past, this was called The Elements Latex probably smarter to shorten it to latex, and this is because the primary comfort layers of this mattress are made of Talle Latex foam. Latex foam is a pretty unique material in mattresses. It's very unlike what you would find in the Dream Foam Essential Mattress, which is a memory foam. We like to describe the feel of latex foam as being [00:06:00] almost the exact opposite of a memory foam. You get virtually none of that sink in feel, and it's extremely responsive, which means when you relieve pressure from it, it snaps back into traditional shape almost immediately. So you get plenty of comfort and cushioning on a latex mattress like this, but you get a super responsive feel that almost feels kind of buoyant.
Speaker 1: Personally, I really like the feel of a latex foam mattress, but others not so much like the Dream Foam hybrid. The Dream Foam Latex does use coils for its primary support layer. That's always nice. And when you check out with this mattress, you can pick and choose [00:06:30] your firmest level. It comes in a soft and medium and affirm. I think most people should probably just go with the medium. It should be generally accommodating for most sleepers, but it's really nice to have those options available. If you're looking for something noticeably soft and noticeably firm and you're looking at about $850 for the dream film, latex after discount and latex beds in general tend to be a bit more expensive than your average online bed in a box. And this is one of the more affordable latex foam hybrids that we've ever tested. It's not gonna have quite as many eco-friendly certifications that a lot of other latex beds [00:07:00] have, like the avocado mattresses, but you still get that nice natural organic latex material in your mattress, which a lot of people out there really enjoy.
Speaker 1: Let's move over to talking about the last bed from Dream Foam, and that's the Dream Foam copper mattress, like the Dream Foam hybrid and the latex. This is also a hybrid bed, which is nice. It comes with pocketed coils on Dream Foam's website. They do say it's around a medium button R testing. We found it to be between a medium and a medium soft, which means it's gonna be most ideal for strict side sleepers looking for a lot of pressure relief. The construction of this mattress also features quite a bit [00:07:30] of memory foam. I don't think you'll be getting a strict memory foam feel on this mattress thanks to the responsive nature of the coils underneath. But I think you'll get a nice body conforming quality that you might be looking for in your next mattress. The cover on the Dream foam copper is also pretty nice and cool to the touch, and I think it'll do a nice job at Sleeping temperature neutral.
Speaker 1: The Dream Foam Copper is the most expensive mattress of the four, and right now after discount, you're looking at about 950 bucks, which is a pretty decent price for a noticeably soft mattress that I think will be a pretty great option for side sleepers. And that's [00:08:00] really the story with Dream Foam as a brand. They make some surprisingly high quality mattresses at affordable prices. I think if you are on more of a strict budget for your next mattress, dream film is a really good brand to look at and I think they compete really well with probably the other best value brand in Swell. I think those two will probably be your best bets and you have some nice variety with Dream Film. You have their Essential Mattress with a ton of different options available that's really more geared toward RVs and stuff like that, but it can still work for every Night Sleeping [00:08:30] Mattress.
Speaker 1: And then you have their generally accommodating dream foam hybrid that I think most people will probably like and it's probably gonna be the most popular option from Dream Foam. And then you have the more specialized mattresses like the latex and the copper. So I think there's a lot to like about Dream Foam, especially through on a tighter budget.
