DreamCloud Classic Hybrid vs Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro Hybrid: mattress: Price & trial
- The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid usually sells for $649 in a queen size
- A queen size CopperFlex Pro Hybrid generally sells for $999
- Both come with a lifetime warranty and free delivery
We rate the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid as one of the best luxury mattresses if you're looking for something affordable. A queen size has an MSRP (or 'total value' as DreamCloud say) of $1,531, but there's little chance of you ever having to pay that, thanks to evergreen DreamCloud mattress sales. At the time of writing, the brand's up to 60% off Memorial Day sale makes the price of a queen $649.
At MSRP the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is a cheaper option, with a queen size coming in at $1,332. Again, regular Brooklyn Bedding mattress sales will bring the price down, but they're not as generous as DreamCloud's. You'll usually get 25% off, which drops the price of a queen size to $999.
It's worth keeping an eye on mattress sales from both brands, because if you buy at the right time you can get an even lower price. The cheapest we've seen the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid for recently is $599 for a queen, while Brooklyn Bedding occasionally ups its discount to 30%, which would reduce the price of the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid in a queen size to around $932.
Both mattresses come with a lifetime warranty and free delivery, however the DreamCloud has a more generous sleep trial period: you'll get a whole year to decide whether it's right for you, while with the CopperFlex Pro you get a 120-night trial.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress: was from $1,014 $399 at DreamCloud
The DreamCloud has made a big name for itself thanks to its luxurious feel at an affordable price. There's up to 60% off at DreamCloud right now, which means you'll pay $649 for a queen size. That's a good price but it's not the cheapest we've seen it, and if you pick your moment you may be able to get it for just $599. Expect a lifetime warranty, 365-night trial and free shipping, too.
Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid Mattress: was from $932 $699 at Brooklyn Bedding
The CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is a new mattress from Brooklyn Bedding that combines a luxurious feel with advanced cooling. There's 25% off in the Brooklyn Bedding sale at the moment, dropping the price of a queen size to $999 — a fair price, but if you hold out for Brooklyn Bedding's occasional 30% discount you'll pay less. While you'll get the same limited lifetime warranty and free shipping, you'll only get a 100-night trial.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid vs Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro Hybrid mattress: Materials & design
- The DreamCloud Classic stands at 12", while the CopperFlex Pro is 14" tall
- Both feature 8-inch coils, layers of foam and a quilted top cover
- The CopperFlex Pro has an extra foam layer for zoned lumbar support
Once you start looking closely at these mattresses, you'll realize just how similar they are. They're both hybrid mattresses featuring quilted covers, multiple layers of foam and layers of 8-inch encapsulated springs.
The DreamCloud is ranked as most affordable in our best hybrid mattress guide, but you won't find the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid there; at least, not yet. So let's take a closer look at their makeup.
There are six layers to the 12" DreamCloud Classic Hybrid, including the bottom cover. On top you'll find a quilted cover featuring cooling fibers and a stitched-in foam layer, and under that there's a contouring memory foam layer and an adaptive foam support layer.
8" of individually-wrapped coils deliver tailored support and reduce motion transfer, and a thin layer of dense foam beneath that keeps everything stable. Finally there's a protective bottom cover to hold it all together.


The CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is similar, with some advanced cooling features. You get a Glaciotex cooling cover with 1.5" of quilt foam (making up a pillowtop) designed to relieve pressure, 2" of copper-infused memory foam, and 1" of transition foam sitting on top of a 0.75"-zoned lumbar support layer.
Ascension X coils promise similar benefits to the DreamCloud's springs (motion isolation and edge support) and, yes, underneath that you'll find a layer of high density support foam, plus of course a protective bottom cover.
In short: there's an extra layer to the CopperFlex Pro: the transition layer between the memory foam and the support foam. With the bottom cover, this gives it seven layers in total.
Another thing both these mattresses have in common is that neither of them have handles on the edges, which can make it tricky to maneuver them.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid vs Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro Hybrid mattress: Comfort & support
- DreamCloud rates its mattress as a 6.5 medium-firm — we think it's a firm 8
- The CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is rated a medium-firm 7 — we agree
- Good pressure relief and motion isolation from both
It's when you start looking at the comfort and support delivered by these mattresses that you'll start to get a feel for which option might be best for you.
On paper they're pretty close: the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is rated a 6.5 medium-firm, while the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is rated a 7, so there shouldn't be that much difference, right?
However, in our DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress review we found that in use, this mattress is a lot firmer than described; we think it's more of an 8, and we think that lighter side sleepers might struggle to settle into it at first, potentially benefitting from one of the best mattress toppers to soften things up a bit.
It's worth noting that we reviewed an older, 14" model of the DreamCloud (and are in the process of reviewing the newer version), but we don't think the changes in the current model will make an enormous difference to the feel.
Meanwhile, the back and stomach sleepers in our testing panel found that the DreamCloud delivered excellent pressure relief and support, keeping everything nicely aligned and alleviating lumbar discomfort. You'll note that we include the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid in our best mattress for back pain buying guide.In our Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress review we found that it also performed well when it came to lumbar support, thanks to its zoned coil layer.
We also found that its rating of 7 for firmness was pretty much on the money; there's slightly more of a sink-in feel to this mattress, in part thanks to the plush pillow-top, and it's one that's better suited to side sleepers and lightweight combination sleepers, who also switch between back and stomach sleeping.
We felt it could also suit back sleepers, but heavier sleepers and stomach sleepers who prefer a firmer mattress may find that that the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is just a little too plush for their tastes.
Both mattresses performed well in our standardized motion isolation tests where we drop a 10lb weight at set heights and distances from an empty wine glass on the mattress.
For the CopperFlex Pro, the wine glass only moved when the weight was dropped from 12", while we saw slight movement on the DreamCloud Classic when the weight was dropped from both 8- and 12", but noted it was minimal. This indicates that these are both beds on which you're unlikely to be disturbed by a partner's nocturnal movements, making them great mattresses for couples.
We also found that both mattresses did well in our edge support tests, and our reviewer found that while there was some sinkage of the weight we used for these tests (3.5") due to the pillowtop, she could comfortably sleep right up to the edges on the CopperFlex Pro.
The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid saw less sinkage (about 1"), and lighter weight, smaller testers found the edge support sufficient, but our taller and heavier testers reported that that they considered it to be too weak for comfort.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid vs Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro Hybrid mattress: Temperature control
- Both mattresses have 8" springs providing enhanced air flow
- DreamCloud has a breathable top cover featuring cooling fibers
- CopperFlex Pro has a GlacioTex cooling cover plus copper-infused foam
Perhaps the biggest difference between the DreamCloud and the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is in their cooling properties. In short: the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid has a much stronger case for inclusion in our best cooling mattress guide.
That's partly down to its GlacioTex cover (the fibers of which have high thermal conductivity) which feels cool to the touch. It also helps that the CopperFlex Pro features a memory foam layer infused with copper particles that draw heat away from the surface and help to counteract the heat-trapping properties of memory foam.
The DreamCloud, on the other hand, is short on specific cooling properties; its cover is made with cooling fibers, but that's about it. Both mattresses benefit from deep sprung layers that will do a good job of circulating air to keep temperatures down, and none of our reviewers reported problems with overheating.
However our CopperFlex Pro Hybrid reviewer pointed out that she enjoyed a cool sleep experience even during a heatwave and after exercising.
