Dreamfoam Latex Mattress Review

The Mattress Nerd’s Take: The Dreamfoam Eurotop Latex mattress offers the pressure point relief and cooling of Talalay latex at an affordable price. It’s available in two heights (10” and 12”) and three firmness levels (soft, medium and firm), ensuring that virtually every sleeper type can find a supportive and comfortable combination. While many latex mattresses are some of the most costly beds on the market, all sizes of the Dreamfoam Latex cost less than $1,000, making it a nice choice for shoppers who want the benefits of latex, such as responsiveness and cooling, without a steep price point.

Who is the Dreamfoam Latex Mattress Best For?

The Dreamfoam Latex’s feel and appropriateness for different body types and sleeping positions will depend heavily upon the height and firmness setting chosen. In general, we recommend the soft option for lightweight sleepers, the medium option for average-weight sleepers and the firm option for heavyweight sleepers. The bed’s firmness settings tend to run a little firmer than average according to customer reviews, so choose your setting accordingly and review our Mattress Firmness Guide before you make your pick.

Body Type:	BACK SLEEPERS	STOMACH SLEEPERS	SIDE SLEEPERS
Lightweight (< 130 lbs):	5	4	3
Average weight (130 – 230 lbs):	5	4	3
Heavyweight (> 230 lbs):	4	3	2

1 = Very poor, 2 = Not good, 3 = Fair, 4 = Good, 5 = Excellent

Back Sleepers

Despite being an all-foam mattress, the Dreamfoam Latex is on the firmer side in all three firmness options. This makes it a nice choice for back sleepers, who need an even, supportive sleeping surface that will keep the hips aligned with the shoulders. Average-weight and lightweight sleepers should find that the top layer of Talalay latex contours gently around the shoulders and underneath the lumbar spine while the dense foam core supports the lower back.

Heavyweight back sleepers will feel most supported on the firm version of the Dreamfoam Latex, but as the mattress softens over several years’ time, it may struggle to provide adequate support for this body type.

If you are looking for a supportive mattress with some pressure relief, see the best mattress for the back sleepers.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers tend to sleep best on firm mattresses, so we recommend choosing an Dreamfoam Latex with a firmness level that’s one step above our general recommendations (medium for lightweight sleepers, firm for average-weight sleepers, etc.).

Like back sleepers, heavyweight sleepers may feel fine on the firm version of this mattress at first, but those who carry weight in the mid-section may experience too much sagging in the torso over time.

For better choices, see our picks for the best mattress for heavy people or the best mattress for stomach sleepers.

Side Sleepers

Side sleepers do best on soft mattresses, and the soft version of the Dreamfoam Latex may provide enough body contouring at the hips and shoulders for lightweight and average-weight side sleepers. For most, however, the 2” layer of Talalay latex will be too thin to provide adequate comfort in this position.

Heavyweight side sleepers, similarly, may feel comfortable at first, but it’s likely that their bodyweight will press down through the comfort portion into the firm core of the bed, which may cause discomfort at the hips and shoulders.

If you are looking for a mattress that cradles around the body, see the best mattresses for side sleepers.

Combination Sleepers

If you sleep primarily on your back or stomach and are lightweight or average-weight, the Dreamfoam Latex is an affordable option with responsiveness that should make it easy to change positions throughout the night. Talalay latex is known for having a buoyant quality that responds quickly to pressure while relieving tension, so you shouldn’t ever feel like it’s difficult to change positions, making it a great mattress for combination sleepers.

How Does the Dreamfoam Latex Mattress Feel? 

Responsiveness, Bounce and Ease of Movement 

The Oeko-Tex Talalay latex in the top layer has a springy, bouncy feel. It offers gentle conforming support without the viscous characteristic of memory foam, making it easier to change positions throughout the night if you’re a combination sleeper. While this bed won’t be as springy as a latex mattress with a hybrid design, the top layer of latex foam is enough to prevent you from feeling “stuck” in the mattress. If you are looking to incorporate coils into your mattress construction, see the best hybrid mattresses.

How Firm is this Mattress?

Although the Dreamfoam Latex firmness options are described as soft, medium and firm, all three feel firmer than expected. The Talalay latex top layer offers soft comfort when you initially lie down, but since this is the only comfort layer in the bed, you’ll feel the density from the support core rather quickly. Most reviewers write that the mattress they selected feels too firm at first but softens within two weeks and feels more comfortable as their body adjusts. In general, we recommend the softer options for side sleepers and the medium or firm option for back and stomach sleepers. See our sleep positions ratings table above for more details. However, if know you want to sink into the mattress layers, check out the best soft mattresses.

Does It Sleep Hot? 

As long as you don’t struggle with sleeping very hot, the Dreamfoam Latex bed should sleep temperature neutral or slightly cool for you. Talalay latex has a breathable design and cell structure that helps create that temperature neutral environment. It delivers much more airflow than memory foam and even other latex foams to help you sleep comfortably and serves as a great mattress for hot sleepers.

Is It Good for Couples?

If you and your partner share similar firmness preferences, this bed could be a nice choice for you. While it is more responsive than a memory foam mattress, it’s less bouncy than an innerspring bed, so you shouldn’t be able to feel motion transfer to the point of being woken up. If motion isolation is a top priority for you, see the best mattress for couples.

How’s the Edge Support? 

The support around the perimeter of this bed should feel substantial at first but may fade with time. Many customers who’ve owned the product for more than five years wrote reviews about still loving how the bed feels overall but feeling disappointed with the sagging occurring at the edges. If you plan to purchase a smaller size to share with a partner or enjoy sitting on the edge of your bed, we recommend the firm version of the Dreamfoam Latex or selecting a hybrid mattress with dedicated edge support features.

Construction: What’s Under the Surface?

The Dreamfoam Latex mattress is an all-foam mattress that incorporates hypoallergenic Talalay latex and is available in two heights (10” and 12”) and three firmness levels (soft, medium, and firm). The quick response from the latex means that you’ll receive a lot of mobility from this bed and can change positions while still feeling supported. It also sleeps relatively cool since the latex foam doesn’t trap heat, but it isn’t as cool or supportive as a latex hybrid, so people who sleep very hot or are heavyweight may want to look into a hybrid option instead.

Layer #1: Cover Quilted with 1″ of Soft Reflex Foam

The cover of the mattress has a 1” quilted top for added plushness. It is non-removable on the 10” version, but if you upgrade to the 12” version, you’ll get the flexibility of a zippered cover that allows you to change the firmness of the top layer of comfort foam (and the overall firmness of the mattress) as needed.

Layer #2: Talalay Latex Comfort Foam Layer

The latex comfort portion gently relieves pressure points while avoiding the quicksand feeling of memory foam. It immediately returns to its natural form after pressure is released, giving the bed a mobile, bouncy feel that’s especially appealing to combination sleepers.

Layer #3: 6″–8″ High-Density Convoluted Base Foam

The 10” Dreamfoam Latex has a 6” high-density foam core, and the upgraded 12” model has an 8” high-density foam core. The difference in height may seem marginal, but those extra inches allow the 12” Dreamfoam Latex to offer a more supportive feel and enhanced durability over time. In both options, the high-density base acts as a support layer to stabilize the layers above it.

How Do Dreamfoam’s Policies Measure Up? 

Shipping & Unboxing

All Dreamfoam mattresses are built in Phoenix, Arizona, and most are shipped via FedEx or UPS. Shipping is free to the contiguous USA, but shipping to Hawaii and Alaska starts at $125 per mattress. Shipping to Canada starts at $250 per mattress. The Dreamfoam Latex will arrive compressed and rolled inside a box. To set up the mattress, remove it from the plastic wrap, unroll it and allow it to expand. The mattress will have a slight off-gassing scent upon unboxing, but it should dissipate within 72 hours.

Warranty

Brooklyn Bedding offers a 10-year warranty for its Dreamfoam mattress collection. The warranty covers defects and deterioration in the foam, splitting and cracking of the material under normal usage and proper handling, impressions greater than 1” and sagging. If a defect occurs during the warranty period, Brooklyn Bedding will repair or replace your Dreamfoam mattress.

Trial Period & Returns

All Dreamfoam mattresses come with a 120-night sleep trial period. You’ll have almost four months to test out the mattress at home, and if you decide you don’t like it, you can contact support@brooklynbedding.com to initiate a return for a full refund. Brooklyn Bedding requires customers to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 nights prior to initiating a return or exchange. The company will send you a prepaid return label to save you the hassle of return shipping costs. Keep in mind that delivery shipping fees to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are non-refundable. Many of the other top online mattress brands feature similar polices and trial periods.

Dreamfoam Mattress FAQs

Comparing the Dreamfoam Mattress

Dreamfoam Latex vs. Brooklyn Bedding Bloom

Designed by the same parent company, the Brooklyn Bedding Bloom is a latex hybrid with a medium firmness setting. Its coil core gives it an edge on the Dreamfoam Latex in some performance categories, such as temperature control, responsiveness and durability—but it’s also notably more expensive. A Twin-size Bloom costs over $1,000, making the Dreamfoam Latex the better option of the two for value shoppers.

Dreamfoam Latex vs. Lucid Latex Hybrid

The Lucid Latex Hybrid is another budget-friendly mattress that incorporates latex, but it has pocketed coils as the support core rather than foam. While also available in 10” and 12” heights, the Lucid Latex Hybrid is only available in a medium-firm firmness level. The top layers of latex in both of these mattresses allow them to offer buoyancy and mobility, but the coil core of the Lucid offers even more support and bounce than the Dreamfoam Latex.

The Lucid Latex is also slightly more affordable, so if you’re looking for the best price, sleep hot or want enhanced support, we recommend it over the Dreamfoam Latex. The Dreamfoam Latex is a better choice for shoppers who want an all-foam design with a bit of bounce, want to choose their firmness setting or want the option of changing their mattress’ firmness down the line (with the 12” version’s zippered, removable cover).

See our Lucid Mattress Reviews to learn more.

Dreamfoam Latex vs. Nectar

Nectar is one of the most popular bed-in-a-box brands, offering two all-foam mattresses that tend to be universally comfortable. The brand also offers a full year trial and a Forever warranty and high-quality materials for the price, all of which attract a wide range of shoppers. The Nectar mattresses are more costly than the Dreamfoam Latex bed, but they also offer better support and durability, according to customer reviews.

One of the biggest selling points of the Dreamfoam Latex is that it’s a cheap mattress, and you also get to choose your height and firmness setting. If you’re shopping on a budget or want a bed for a guest bedroom that’s rarely used, it’s probably a better pick than the Nectar. We recommend the Nectar if you’re a side sleeper and love a viscous, memory foam sleep experience (as opposed to the bounce of latex).

What’s the Bottom Line?

The Dreamfoam Latex Dreamfoam bedding mattress isn’t necessarily going to win any awards for being the most innovative mattress out there, but it’s a comfortable mattress with a price point that’s much more attainable for most shoppers than other latex options. The main criticism of the mattress from reviewers on DreamfoamBedding.com and Amazon is that, in spite of the bed’s buoyant pressure relief and breathability, it tends to lose its support over time. Because of this, we think the Dreamfoam Latex is best-suited for a spare guest bedroom, a dorm room, as a children’s mattress (most children don’t need the same support as adults) or for shoppers who only plan to use it for less than five years. All in all, it’s a decent new mattress for people who want a latex bed on a budget with the option of choosing their level of support.
