Stay away from dreamcloud. Tons of people have issues with theirs and the customer service is nonexistent. I have the Bear Pro Hybrid. It's a really good mattress. Sleepline has the best review I found for it: https://www.sleepline.com/bear-pro-hybrid-review/
Casper is decent but it can feel overpriced and the durability isn't the best long term. If you want something that feels softer for side sleeping, The Bear Pro Hybrid is such a solid pick. The cooling tech is supposed to be next level( goodbye night sweats) and the hybrid design gives you that plush feel without sinking too much.
you'll be surprise by Bear pro Hybrid, its really for sleepers who tend to sleep hot
Glad you’re back on this sub. I found you on MattressMod after you “left” this one. I’ve been lurking this sub for a couple of years. I must say that I got a little tired of Norm always raving about the Plank Luxe. At Norm’s recommendation I found a local store that had several Brooklyn Bedding brands to try out, which included the Plank Luxe, the Plank, and the Bear Hybrid all in firm. All were way too soft for me. I sank in (or my butt did) in all of them. I was looking for a firm mattress that didn’t feel like I was sleeping in it but rather on it. I’m also a mostly side and sometimes back sleeper. The guide about mattress firmness and side sleeping was a myth to me. I finally found my Goldilocks mattress. I was debating between the new model of Beautyrest World Class level four firm pillowtop and a private label store brand by Southerland. After reading your comments on r/mattressmod about the new World Class, I almost bought the Beautyrest. Both mattresses felt firm and supportive to me. I had a hard time choosing. I decided to go with the one by Southerland even though I had never heard of them before and it was more expensive. After the mattress was set up in my bedroom, I was admiring my new mattress and my decision, I thought I would look at the label to make sure I got what I ordered. The label stated it was a Grand Estate (or whatever the name was for the store’s private label) by Southerland manufactured by Brooklyn Bedding in Oklahoma! I was astonished 😧. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and love it. It was very, very firm when I got it but it’s softening a little now (or I’m getting used to the firmness).
Bear Hybrid. So good.
Bear the coil spring hybrid. After a few days adjustment it’s been the best. The bf has a Casper with a bear mattress topper we sink into and are so supported brother of us moves much in our sleep. He’s a stomach side sleeper and hasn’t complained. Not sure which Casper he got
When OP mentioned it I thought of all those hotel stays when we worked on the road. Getting a high floor room with one of the new mattresses was gold. Do wonder if subconsciously that’s what we went for with the many topper mattress combos we tried. In winter I’ll throw a gel topper on the bear unless I’m sore then it’s straight on. I have a travel topper I bring on long runs. Only drawback to bear.
Bear mattress I can’t sleep pain free without it. When traveling I bring their mattress topper
We ordered a Bear hybrid mattress - I am a side sleeper and my husband has back pain and we have liked it a lot. We have not had it 5 years yet but it is definitely better than our casper. Check out the Wirecutter list to narrow things down. Their detailed bullet points can allow you to zone in on what you want. No matter what buy a mattress topper to help with more support, softness, temperature management or whatever suits your needs.
If you’re trying to keep things comfy for EDS go check out Brooklyn Bedding or could also try Bear. They make hybrids that feel softer on top but still keep the body lined up so you’re not sinking weird. Super forgiving for kids who feel every bump. I’d just test a medium or soft at home and see how her body reacts before locking anything in.
