DreamCloud Premier vs. WinkBed Overview

The DreamCloud Premier is made from high-quality materials to offer a well-cushioned yet supportive night of sleep. It’s a durable option with good pressure relief.

With excellent cooling features, the WinkBed is also known for its strong edge support and responsiveness. Combination sleepers and heavyweight sleepers will love this mattress’s firm feel.

The DreamCloud Premier is best for…	The WinkBed is best for…
Back or side sleepers	Hot sleepers
Average-weight sleepers	Lightweight sleepers
Hot sleepers	Combination sleepers

Who Should Choose the DreamCloud Premier Mattress?

• Back sleepers. The DreamCloud Premier is medium-firm and will help align your spine as you sleep, especially for lightweight to average-weight folks.
• Average-weight side sleepers. If you’re average-weight (130-230 lbs) and sleep on your side, the pressure relief and alignment of the Premier should work well for you.
• Hot sleepers. The DreamCloud Premier is a hybrid mattress, which allows more airflow than an all-foam mattress and tends to sleep much cooler.

Who Should Choose the WinkBed Mattress?

• Hot sleepers. If you overheat while you sleep, the WinkBed’s gel-infused foam and innerspring coils are designed to keep this mattress (and you) cool.
• Lightweight sleepers. Lightweight and average-weight back sleepers will probably be most comfortable.
• Combination sleepers. The WinkBed is highly responsive and allows you to easily move between sleeping positions during the night.

DreamCloud Premier vs. WinkBed: Top Similarities 

• Breathable and cool. Both of these hybrid mattresses keep their cool. That’s thanks to a breathable mattress cover, gel-infused foam, and innerspring coils.
• Good for combination sleepers. Like to switch up your sleeping position throughout the night? Each of these mattresses provides a supportive yet responsive surface to accommodate combination sleepers.
• Poor motion isolation. Neither mattress does a great job of isolating motion, which you’ll notice quickly if you’re a light sleeper who shares the bed with a restless partner.

DreamCloud Premier vs. WinkBed: Top Differences 

• The DreamCloud has a deeper foam top. The WinkBed’s pillow top is only 2” thick compared to the DreamCloud’s 5” of foam layers.
• The DreamCloud features a memory foam layer. Although the DreamCloud is a hybrid mattress, the memory foam layer provides a supportive sink that’s typically associated with memory foam mattresses.
• The WinkBed has two additional firmness options. While the WinkBed is available in four firmness options: Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer, the DreamCloud Premier is only available in one: a medium-firm feel.

DreamCloud Premier vs. WinkBed: Firmness & Feel Differences

While the DreamCloud Premier comes in only one level of firmness (considered medium-firm), you can choose from four firmness options with the WinkBed.

What’s the Firmness Of the DreamCloud Premier & WinkBed Mattresses? 

The DreamCloud Premier is rated at 6.5/10 for firmness. This means it’s considered a medium-firm mattress.

The WinkBed mattress has four different firmness options (rated based on our firmness scale):

• Softer (4/10)
• Luxury Firm (6/10)
• Firmer (7.5/10)
• Plus (8/10)

The WinkBed Plus is created for heavyweight sleepers. This option provides more support through a firmer mattress.

What Do the DreamCloud Premier & WinkBed Mattresses Feel Like?

The plush foam top of the DreamCloud Premier offers a very cushy feel. However, the foam and coils bounce back, creating a balance between a supportive and cloud-like feel. 

The WinkBed is more firm, but still responsive thanks to the foam layers. It’s also nice and cool thanks to temperature-regulating features such as HyperSoft Foam.

What’s It Like to Sleep On the DreamCloud Premier & WinkBed Mattresses?

Since the DreamCloud Premier has a deep foam topper, it feels soft and plush on your body initially. The coils underneath, however, provide extra support to help the Premier reach that 6.5/10 rating. 

The WinkBed has the perfect balance of cushioning and support for back and stomach sleepers but may be too firm for side sleepers.

DreamCloud Premier vs. WinkBed Mattress Performance Ratings & Differences

Temperature

The DreamCloud receives a 3 and the WinkBed receives a 5 for temperature regulation. While the DreamCloud doesn’t have any features that specifically target cooling, it is a hybrid mattress with coils that allow for more airflow. The WinkBed regulates temperature via gel-infused foam that resists absorbing heat plus innerspring coils that help make the mattress more breathable.

Motion Transfer

The DreamCloud receives a 3 and the WinkBed receives a 2.5. The DreamCloud Premier has fairly average motion isolation. It’s not advanced or special but should work fine for the typical couple. The WinkBed has a significant amount of motion transfer across the mattress, meaning it won’t be the best fit for light sleepers who share the bed.

Edge Support 

The DreamCloud receives a 4.5 and the WinkBed receives a 5. The DreamCloud Premier has a sturdy, solid edge that you can easily sit or sleep on without falling off. The WinkBed also has good edge support thanks to the high-density foam (which prevents sagging) and coils with extra reinforcement around the edge of the mattress.

Pressure Relief 

The DreamCloud receives a 4 and the WinkBed receives a 3. The DreamCloud provides good support for multiple body types and sleeping positions, while the firm WinkBed will help keep your hips aligned.

Durability

The DreamCloud receives a 4.5 and the WinkBed receives a 5. The DreamCloud Premier should last 8 or 9 years with its base of steel coils. The WinkBed should last about 7 years but could be closer to a decade.
