When it comes to choosing a mattress that provides that perfect blend of support, comfort, and durability, making an informed decision is key! We know we're a little biased, but we're going to take some time to help you by stacking up the Big Fig vs. DreamCloud Premier Mattress. Both mattresses have garnered attention in the market, but we firmly believe that the Big Fig Mattress stands out as a superior choice for plus-size bodies.
This comprehensive Big Fig and DreamCloud mattress review delves into key factors that affect the sleep experience such as coil count, edge support, comfort level, cooling features, customer satisfaction, and price. By thoroughly examining these aspects, we aim to demonstrate why the Big Fig Mattress reigns supreme.

Coil Count:
At the heart of any high-quality traditional innerspring mattress lies its coil system. Why else is coil count important? Motion isolation!
If you want to be able to sleep soundly while your partner gets up to pee, let the dog out or generally enter or exit the bed, then you need a mattress that focuses on motion isolation. Individually wrapped coils prevent the ripple effect from movement on the mattress. More coils mean more targeted and minimized movements and less jostling.
The Big Fig Mattress has an impressive coil count of 1,600 in a queen-size mattress. Its coils are also denser and designed to support heavier individuals. The higher-density, individually wrapped coils ensure superior comfort and stability throughout the night.
When comparing DreamCloud vs. Big Fig, the Premier mattress falls short in terms of coil count for hybrid mattresses, compromising on comprehensive support. While the brand says the mattress features 8” individually wrapped coils, it’s unclear exactly how many springs there are in total because the number is not published on the brand’s website.
Edge Support:
Edge support plays a crucial role in maximizing a mattress's usable surface area. The Big Fig Mattress takes the lead in offering reinforced edges that provide consistent support from edge to edge.
This feature not only enhances the mattress's durability and lifespan but also prevents the dreaded feeling of rolling off the bed. In contrast, the DreamCloud Premier Mattress uses coils at the edge, which may lack the same level of edge support. This potentially limits the usable area and compromises overall comfort.

Comfort Level:
The Big Fig Mattress is carefully designed to accommodate individuals with larger body types, offering a firm yet comfortable sleep surface. High-density foam and a supportive coil system work together to create super-supportive layers.
While the DreamCloud Premier Mattress may provide a comfortable sleep experience for some, it may not offer the same tailored support and contouring benefits for heavier individuals. Their pillow top mattresses are reported to have a comfort rating of 6.5. However, this rating is likely based on the opinion of someone with a straight-sized body. Heavier sleepers should shy away from soft mattresses that lack proper support for any sleep position.
While we couldn't find a published weight limit on their website, a quick chat with their customer service team revealed that their mattress tops out at 1,000 lbs. The Big Fig mattress is rated up to 1,100 lbs for 20 years of use.
Firmness Level:
The combination of comfort layers creates a balanced and responsive mattress feel. Our firmness level is a 7 or 8 out of 10. Proper spinal alignment is also ensured. A firmer mattress is the way to go when looking at the best mattresses for back pain.
While the DreamCloud Premier Mattress provides a dynamic transition layer, it’s only 1” thick, which is likely not thick enough to promote proper spinal alignment. Also, the brand’s website does not provide a mattress level
Cooling Features:
We understand the importance of a cool and comfortable sleep environment, especially for hot sleepers. The Big Fig Mattress incorporates advanced cooling technologies, such as a THERMOGEL COOLING ® infused cover and perforated foam layers, to promote airflow and dissipate heat effectively. This strategic design keeps you cool throughout the night, reducing the chances of waking up hot and sweaty.
The Big Fig Mattress stands out due to our commitment to optimizing temperature regulation. This is different from the cooling features of the DreamCloud Premier Mattress.
Overall Construction:
A few other features set Big Fig apart from the DreamCloud Premier.
At Big Fig, we take Tufting seriously — so much so that we do it by hand! Tufts help hold a mattress's layers together, especially during the compression and roll packing process required for shipping. The tufts keep everything from foam to coils locked in place to maintain the integrity of your mattress for the full 20 years.
The DreamCloud Premier has a stitched euro top and no tufts, which puts them at a higher risk of deterioration over time.
We make our Big Fig Mattress in the US. We're based in Cleveland, OH, and that's also where we build our mattresses daily. We're really proud of it. We aren't sure where DreamCloud is made.
Customer Satisfaction:
At Big Fig, we take immense pride in our customers' satisfaction. Our mattress offers exceptional comfort and support.
We have a growing community of BFFs (Big Fig Fans) who give us valuable feedback , and we are dedicated to surpassing their expectations. Our commitment to providing a mattress specifically designed for larger body types has garnered widespread praise and thousands of positive reviews.
Our mattress has thousands of 5-star reviews, but so does DreamCloud. The thing is, it's really hard to tell which mattress has all those reviews.
Of the multiple mattresses DreamCloud offers, the Premier is the most competitive compared to the Big Fig. Unfortunately, customers' reviews are lumped together on their website. This makes it difficult to tell which products are getting the most love.
Price:
We understand that value for money is essential when purchasing a mattress. Despite the premium features and superior craftsmanship of the Big Fig Mattress, we offer competitive pricing, ensuring that you receive exceptional quality without breaking the bank. DreamCloud Premier is currently less expensive than the Big Fig, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
However, since a mattress is an investment (20 years with ours), Big Fig offers financing options to help you spread the cost. In fact, with the right financing, a night on a Big Fig can cost you less than that latte you're chugging to try and make up for that poor night's sleep you're getting.
The Final Word:
In conclusion, the Big Fig Mattresses has always been the best mattress for heavy people, even when compared to the DreamCloud mattress review. It has an unmatched coil count, reinforced edge support, tailored comfort, advanced cooling features, hand-crafted touches, and competitive pricing.
If you're still not sure, you can give us a try risk-free. We have a 120-night sleep trial , so if by then, we're not living up to the hype, you can give us a call. We'll come pick up your mattress and issue you a refund. You've read this far, so you know you're curious. Are you ready to be one of our new Big Fig BFFs?
