Review of the Ultimate Dreams mattress

[phoenix]

Hi Buddmann31,

Thanks for your comments

First off I would like to say that the comparison to the Tempurpedic Cloud Luxe is tenuous at best. They do have similar softness feels, with the Ultimate Dreams being a touch firmer. The main difference that I notice is in the feel of the memory foam. While the Ultimate Dreams is better than many cheaper foam mattresses that I have tried, it doesn’t quite conform to the body the same way the Luxe does. For people who really like the Cloud Luxe and then buy the Ultimate Dreams, just realize its not the same bed. The Ultimate Dreams is cheaper for a reason.

I think that the comparisons they are trying to make are in terms of the overall softness/firmness level not in terms of the exact design or subjective feel of the mattress which would be much different. You can read more about the different ways to match a mattress in post #2 here.

They certainly are cheaper than the Tempurpedics for a reason but the reason isn’t mostly about the quality of the materials they use. They use the same quality of materials as the Cloud Select mattresses (4 and 5 lb memory foam and 1.5 lb base foam) although the foam in their middle layer is lower density than the 7 lb memory foam used in the middle layer of the Luxe. Like all different foams though … the same type and quality of materials can have different properties and types of response even though in quality/durability terms they may be very similar.

You can’t feel the quality of a material because low quality and high quality materials can feel the same or two equivalent quality materials can feel very different. Quality (as defined by durability) is mostly about how long a mattress will remain close to it’s original specs and how it will feel years down the road.
