One of the brands you&#8217;ve likely encountered is Dreamcloud, a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/mattress-in-a-box-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mattress in a box<\/a> option. You may be wondering about the differences between Dreamcloud and Saatva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Saatva mattress that most closely compares to Dreamcloud&#8217;s Premier model is the Saatva<span class=\"tooltip\" data-id=\"27714\">Memory Foam Hybrid<\/span> We look at the top six points of differentiation, starting with the biggest difference: how the mattresses are built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The following information is up-to-date as of August 23, 2022.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saatva-vs-dreamcloud-key-points-of-comparison\">Saatva vs. Dreamcloud: key points of comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-construction\">1. Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid and the Dreamcloud Premier consist of a base coil unit with layers of memory foam on top. Both have individually wrapped coils for maximum contouring ability and multiple layers of memory foam for comfort and pressure relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big difference between the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid and the Dreamcloud Premier is the way the mattresses are constructed: Dreamcloud is compressed, folded, rolled, and drop-shipped in a 16x16x45-inch box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid is handcrafted in one of our 19 U.S. factories with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/why-you-should-buy-an-american-made-mattress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American-made materials<\/a>, delivered whole, and set up by a white glove delivery team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squashing, folding, and rolling make a mattress easy and cheap for the manufacturer to ship, but it doesn&#8217;t do anything good for the mattress. That&#8217;s particularly true when it comes to an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/innerspring-mattress-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">innerspring mattress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coils that can be compressed, folded, and rolled have to be made of thin and flexible wire; thin wire doesn&#8217;t provide the same kind of long-lasting support as thicker and more durable wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A queen-size Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid has coils made of 15-gauge steel (gauge is a measure of thickness). Dreamcloud doesn&#8217;t disclose the coil gauge used in the Premier mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch this video to see what can happen when a mattress is crushed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ehfwY1K6SUI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then watch this video to see <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/how-are-saatva-mattresses-made\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how a Saatva mattress is handcrafted<\/a> to understand the difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lewPN8oaMkY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-foam-density\">2. Foam density<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like springs, foam has to be light to be compressed for shipping. The lighter, or less dense, the foam, the less durable and supportive the mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memory foam in the Dreamcloud Premier weighs in at 2.5 pounds per cubic foot. According to the mattress review site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesleepjudge.com\/review\/dreamcloud-luxury-hybrid-mattress-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sleep Judge<\/a>, premium memory foam should be 3 to 4 pounds per cubic foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Saatva Memory Foam hybrid uses 4-pound memory foam. We like to say that if we tried to compress it, it would break the machine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-off-gassing\">3. Off-gassing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Dreamcloud mattresses are shrink-wrapped in a box, they may emit odors when first unwrapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/what-is-mattress-off-gassing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">off-gassing<\/a> is caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) escaping from foams and other materials. According to the Dreamcloud website, you must wait 24 hours until the mattress is ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can nap on your Saatva the moment it arrives (though we recommend you put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/bedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sheets<\/a> on it first). Because our mattresses are made to order and not boxed, shrink-wrapped, or kept in inventory, any off-gassing of materials takes place in the factory, not in the customer&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-delivery-and-setup\">4. Delivery and setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Dreamcloud and Saatva offer free delivery; the difference, as we&#8217;ve noted, is that you have to unbox and set up the Dreamcloud Premier yourself, whereas the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid comes with in-home white glove delivery and old mattress removal included in the price. (It&#8217;s worth pointing out here that a queen-size Dreamcloud mattress weighs 106 pounds.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want in-home delivery of your Dreamcloud it will cost an extra $149, plus an additional $20 for old mattress removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-cost\">5. Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think a luxury mattress, made to order in the U.S.A. with premium materials and hand-delivered to your home, would be a lot more expensive than a mattress in a box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of this writing, a queen-size Dreamcloud Premier costs $1,399. Add in-home delivery and old mattress removal, and you&#8217;re up to $1,568.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A queen Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid, with free delivery and old mattress removal included, costs $1,795.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-customer-satisfaction\">6. Customer satisfaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any mattress brand (including ours) will tout its positive customer reviews and high star ratings. But if you really want a view into customer satisfaction, look to independent third-party sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such source is the Better Business Bureau (BBB). According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ca\/walnut\/profile\/online-retailer\/dreamcloud-1216-880731\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBB&#8217;s website<\/a>, Dreamcloud, which is unaccredited, has a 1-star customer rating and has received nearly 500 consumer complaints in the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is currently the subject of an alert following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/news-events\/press-releases\/2021\/10\/ftc-orders-made-usa-repeat-offender-pay-funds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement with the FTC<\/a> over false claims that its imported mattresses were made with U.S.-sourced materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saatva is BBB accredited and has a customer rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. The BBB gives the business an A+ rating, which is a measure of how the company interacts with customers when it comes to complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saatva received and resolved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ct\/westport\/profile\/mattress\/saatva-inc-0111-87089118\/complaints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">35 complaints<\/a> in the last 12 months, the majority of them related to ongoing Covid supply chain issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a closer look at the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/mattresses\/memory-foam-hybrid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mattress page<\/a>, where you can find full specs, a diagram of the layers, and more information about the newest addition to Saatva&#8217;s luxury mattress lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"saatva-product-slider bg-fuscous-gray text-white\">\n            <p class=\"bg-makara p-4 text-center\">Improve your sleep with Saatva's memory foam hybrid<\/p>\n    \n            <div\n            class=\"focus:!outline-0\"\n            data-flickity=\"{&quot;wrapAround&quot;:true,&quot;pageDots&quot;:true,&quot;adaptiveHeight&quot;:true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;:false,&quot;autoPlay&quot;:5000}\"\n        >\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/mattresses\/memory-foam-hybrid\" class=\"block\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva memory foam hybrid mattress\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/memory-foam-hybrid.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/mattresses\/memory-foam-hybrid\">Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This memory foam hybrid mattress features the perfect balance of body-contouring and responsive feel.
