Reverie Sleep System (mattress) Dream Supreme with 8Q adjustable platform

[phoenix]

Hi Wrewster,

I am strongly considering making a purchase of this Reverie Sleep Supreme in the future possibly and wanted to find out if anyone on here recommends this system, has tried it and either liked or not liked it and why?

The only two forum members I’m aware of that have purchased one of the Reverie Dream mattresses are JoD here (although they haven’t provided any feedback yet) and a.stauff here.

I would be very cautious about using anyone else’s experience or recommendations as a reliable indication of what you may feel on the same mattress because a mattress that feels too firm to one person can feel too soft to someone else (and vice versa) and a mattress that is a good match for one person or even a group of people in terms of PPP may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on … even if they have a similar body type or sleeping style. In the end the only reliable way to know with any certainty whether a mattress is a good match for you would be based on your own personal testing or actual sleeping experience.

If I remember correctly ( and my head is spinning with all of this new found stuff researching beds) that Phoenix recommends this system as being at least quality materials throughout with little or no weak points.

The Reverie Dream Supreme uses very high quality and durable materials (you can see the specs here) and there are certainly no lower quality materials or weak links in the mattress. I do recommend the members here “as a group” but I don’t recommend any specific mattress or manufacturer for any specific person.

With that said, because of the customization I am to assume that I can find the desired outcome of my choice much more easily and over the years vs buying a traditional mattress when used specifically in a power adjustable platform.

An adjustable base will have very little to do with the suitability of a mattress unless you have special circumstances or health conditions where sleeping in an elevated position can be beneficial.

While it’s always preferable to buy a mattress or a mattress/topper combination that is a good match for you in the first place … a component mattress with a zip cover and loose layers has several advantages if your sleeping experience indicates that in spite of your “best efforts” you ended up choosing a mattress that isn’t an ideal match for you in terms of PPP. It would allow you to rearrange or exchange individual layers (or in the case of the Reverie Dream System to change the pattern of the latex cylinders) to fine tune either the support or pressure relief of the mattress without having to exchange or return the entire mattress. It would also allow you to replace individual layers and components if one of them softens or breaks down faster than the others (the top layers are usually the weakest link of any mattress) or if your needs or preferences change over time instead of having to replace the entire mattress.

While it’s not a guarantee of success of course because it’s possible that you may not like the “feel” of latex or that none of the configurations will work well for you … it can significantly increase the odds that a mattress will “match” your specific needs and preferences. Many of the members here that sell latex mattresses have component systems with zip covers that have layers or components that can be rearranged or exchanged after a purchase although Reverie is one of only two that has a customizable zoning system rather than customizable layering systems.

I read a claim from Atlantic Beds stating that when you use a “component mattress” with an adjustable base that there will be shifting problems and etc. I’m not certain that there claims are founded but if I bought this system from Reverie I am hoping there is less of a chance of this type of an issue.

You can see my comments about glued vs unglued layers in post #2 here and the posts it links to. There are thousands of people who have used component latex mattresses with adjustable beds over the course of many years and it’s not an issue with normal use.
