My husband and I were due for a major upgrade in the bedroom - a mattress upgrade. We'd had the same old spring mattress for over eight years, and we were both sick of our creaky box spring and the feel of our lumpy bed. Every one of our friends we asked said the only way to go was online. I had no idea online mattress shopping was such a thing, but it sounded way better than spending the day at the mall in a mattress store. We both agreed we wanted to treat ourselves to a better mattress, but didn't want to shell out thousands for it. My husband's sister recommended DreamCloud - where they'd just gotten their new King from - so we decided to give it a shot.
DreamCloud is an online mattress company specializing in hybrid mattresses, which basically means the best features of every quality mattresses wrapped into one dreamy bed that feels like you're sleeping on a cloud. DreamCloud mattresses are pure luxury through and through. Hand-tufted with eight layers of high density foams and a cashmere blend cover, the DreamCloud is built for maximum comfort. The words sumptuous and luscious come to mind.
We wanted to treat ourselves and were willing to pay a little bit more for better quality. For my husband it was about comfort - he has a bad back and had been complaining about our old mattress for years - but for me, it was about the relaxation - I wanted our new minimalist bedroom to feel like a comfy place to relax. For us, this was worth the investment. We could skimp on other aspects of our home, but both agreed we weren't skimping on our bed. I've done that before and ended up unhappy and uncomfortable - having to invest even more money on mattress pads and big throw pillows trying to make the bed more comfortable. I was sure we'd like it, but was reassured knowing that DreamCloud offers a 365-night home trial for us to test it out.
The first night on our DreamCloud mattress, we were both totally shocked by how comfortable it really was. We slept better than we had in what felt like forever, and were completely obsessed. The difference between our old bed and our new DreamCloud wasn't even comparable - neither one of us wanted to get out of bed!
It's been a few months, and our bed is still by far the favorite part of our bedroom. DreamCloud is the best of both worlds - high-quality yet still affordable. For just a bit more than our old cheap box spring mattress, we ended up with the most comfortable, luxury bed we'd ever owned. Our bed feels like how we always wished a bed could feel, but didn't really think possible. And you can't put a price on better sleep.
