Conclusion

Idle Sleep is a leading mattress brand with numerous awards on its table. Idle offer four different mattresses which includes an all-latex and a hybrid mattress.

It comes with two soft mattresses: the Idle Gel and Idle Plush for those who prefer a softer mattress.

This way, Idle is able to address the needs of a wider audience better than the single hybrid mattress on the staples of DreamCloud.

DreamCloud is great for hybrid lovers but Idle is for both and while DreamCloud offers just one firmness which is great for every sleeper, Idle does better with two options (medium firm and firm) to provide a more tailored support.

Both offer a lifetime warranty and the trial window at Idle is kept open for 18 long months.
