I just ordered my dreamcloud bed and adjustable base today I asked about the attachment to add a headboard I was told that if I did that it would avoid my warranty on the base I just thought I should let you know
Wow, really? Thanks for sharing this. That seems very surprising to say the least, considering that they specifically sell an attachment to enable this and they never mentioned anything about this to us. When you receive the base I would be very interested in knowing if the warranty really does contain a clause that stipulates this. It's possible that it does but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it doesn't. Since our reviews tend to go deeper than the product information that is otherwise available, we've encountered many cases in the past where the customer service people for any given brand may be unaware of or misinformed about some of the details we provide. Thanks again!
bought a split king dreamcloud premier hybrid rest today with the adjustable bed frame. they do offer an extended 10 year warranty on the bed frame. i did not get at checkout with the price being $169, but after checkout it was immediately offered for $69 ($100 off) so got it. the extended warranty covers everything 100% and if it can't be fixed a new one is provided for free.
I wish someone, somewhere, would demonstrate the kind size adjustable bases from dreamcloud, nectar etc. They offer "king" or "split king" yet there is no such thing as a one-piece king base anymore (which begs the question, why have the "king" option in their cart - when you select it, they say "this is actually two twins" LOL). Would love to see the "strap" they speak of in terms of how the two twin adjustable bases are strapped together to prevent movement, and how they ensure the two twin bases are synced with one remote, for those that have a one-piece king mattress.
All you have to do is sync the two mattresses with the sync cable that they provide and connect the cable to each bed which has a sync port for Bed A and Bed B. Bed A and Bed B will now be controlled simultaneously.
Great, very glad these videos were helpful for you, Theresa! Did you use our links when you purchased so you can get an additional $50 back from us on your purchase?
Fantastic review! I appreciate how thorough you were. I just purchased a DreamCloud adjustable base. It's getting assembled tomorrow. I can't wait to try out all the cool features. However, the rep told me that they stopped offering the white glove service due to Covid.
Hi there -- Thanks for your kind words, and for letting us know about this. It sounds like the rep that spoke to you *may* have had outdated information. At the time we filmed this (a couple months ago), we were informed that white glove service was available. However, if others report back to us with similar feedback, we will be sure to post an update on the video that this option is no longer available. Thanks again!
Great review! The one thing that didn't impress me was seeing you sitting at the foot of the bed and seeing a substantial side mattress defection! I noticed you were sitting all the way back, but that mattress side deflection seems to be a deal breaker. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. Are you talking about the deflection of the mattress that is visible, for example, at 17:27 in the video? If so, this is called edge support and it has 100% to do with the mattress and 0% to do with the base (which is what is being covered in this video). Put another way, with someone sitting in that position, that mattress would deflect the exact same amount if it were on a slab of concrete. Also, for some additional context about the edge support of this particular mattress, while there clearly is some deflection (and there are some mattresses that would have less of this), in the grand scheme of all mattresses, that amount of is still better than average. I hope that's helpful.
I messaged dreamcloud today and asked about headboard compatibility, and they said it was not designed to be used with a headboard. Can you post a link to the headboard brackets? I dont see them anywhere. Thanks for the in depth review! 👍🏻
Hi Brian -- The unit is definitely compatible with headboard brackets. They aren't included with the bed, so maybe that was what confused their customer service agent. However, there are even instructions for installing them in the manual, which you can see here: d.pr/i/Xvwf8W. If you want the headboard brackets, here's the number to call -- they'll need to know the exact model you have and they should be able to find the part you need: 720-458-5955. This is a company called Uniters -- they handle warranty issues and parts for a number of mattress companies, including DreamCloud. I hope that's helpful.
I'm not aware of any official statements on that specifically, however they did say that it's zero clearance, and we also showed this in the video. And that's one of the things that zero clearance means. I hope that's helpful.
Glad this was helpful for you Lee! Yes, this base will work equally well with any adjustable base compatible mattress, which includes the WinkBed. Hope that's helpful.
Have you tried/accomplish controlling it with you phone using the app. Allegedly you can I’ve not been able to do it. Kind of a chore depending on having the remote in bed
Hi Mark -- Thanks for your question. Have you watched the video? We covered this in the "Remote Control and App" section, which starts at 13:34. We had a little trouble at first as well, but we were ultimately successful and shared what we learned. If that doesn't do the trick then I'd suggest reaching out to the company for tech support.
Hi Linda -- Thanks for your question. No, the one shown in this video is a standard queen. Mike is 6 feet tall so is on the tall side to be using a queen size in the first place. On top of that, when any mattress is used an adjustable base, its functional length gets a bit shorter as the base is elevated higher and higher. That said, Mike also accentuates this effect by slouching a bit more than he normally would in order to keep the bottoms of his shoes from touching the mattress. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- Thanks for your astute question. Technically it does, but this particular mattress model does have a difficult time conforming to the curves of the base when it's in a fully elevated position. This is a good example of why we explain to consumers that not all mattresses that are technically "adjustable base compatible" are created equally in terms of how compatible they actually are. As a result of its conformance limitations and other related factors that we assess, we rated this mattress a 6 (out of 10) for adjustable base compatibility. I hope that's helpful.
Hi Bob -- Thanks for your question. These legs don't seem any more likely to scratch your floor than the legs of any other bed frame -- or any other piece of furniture that gets sat on for that matter (couches, chairs, etc.). That said, just like with any other piece of furniture, I'd recommend putting some kind of felt or rubber adhesive on the bottom of the legs in order to protect your floors from that possibility. I hope that's helpful.
Hi, I was commenting to ask what are your top 5 firmest/most support beds that you’ve reviewed? Most of the in persons ones near me are too soft for what I need
Hi Alexis -- Thanks for your question. Happy to help. Here are 5 of the firmest ones we've tested that you can buy online (ordered from most firm to least firm, though all of these are quite firm): * www.goodbed.com/o/p/400589/stearns-foster-estate-rockwell-ultra-firm/ * www.goodbed.com/o/p/411347/stearns-foster-lux-estate-cassatt-ultra-firm/ * www.goodbed.com/o/p/369235/tempur-luxeadapt-firm/ * www.goodbed.com/o/p/410982/beautyrest-black-l-class-extra-firm/ * www.goodbed.com/o/l/brooklyn-bedding-plank/ I hope that's helpful.
6 feet tall. Queen size bed. He's right at the tall end of the spectrum for a queen size, but he purposely hangs his feet a little off the edge so the soles of his shoes aren't on the mattress.
Thanks Chrissy! You're right that a queen size mattress would be a bit small to use with an adjustable base, though it works just fine when lying flat. With the way that an adjustable base beds the mattress, you'll use 2-4 more inches of length when the head is fully elevated than you will when it is flat. This is one reason we recommend that people who are considering an adjustable base choose a slightly longer mattress than they would otherwise need. Of course, the features and functionality or a mattress or base are the same no matter the size, but for consistency, we shoot all our videos with Queen size because it's the most common and popular size. I hope that's helpful.
Hi Jason -- Thanks for your suggestion. We do prioritize our reviews based on input from our readers, so this feedback will definitely be noted in our records. That said, FWIW, I've never even heard of "Idealbed" so that one in particular seems extremely unlikely to be something we spend time on in the near future. Thanks again.
Great Video... Have a question for you. Does the Dreamcloud adjustable come with the (white resident remote) in your video or a (black remote) that i see with some of the other youtubers. I actually like the remote you are using better. Thanks for your help and I look forward to your answer
Hi there -- Thanks for your question, and the kind words. I would recommend hitting the company up on chat about this one. The remote shown in the video is obviously what came in the box that was sent to us a couple months ago. So unless the other videos you're seeing received product more recently than that, I would assume that white is the color you should expect. Let us know when you receive it though!
Ordered mine a few days ago and it’s out for delivery. You have answered any and all my questions. Excited to try mine out tonight.
Thanks for letting us know this was helpful for you!
this was the best review I've seen yet (and I've watched TONS while mattress shopping 😂😂) thanks for your hard work!
Thanks so much for sharing this feedback with us, Amy!
Agreed!
After alot of videos and research, I decided to go with the Dreamcloud. Great video and very informative.
Thanks for letting us know it was helpful for you Sedrick! I hope you are very happy with your choice.

Excellent review. I had so many questions and u answered them all

How much did you payed. If you don't mind
I wish someone, somewhere, would demonstrate the kind size adjustable bases from dreamcloud, nectar etc. They offer "king" or "split king" yet there is no such thing as a one-piece king base anymore (which begs the question, why have the "king" option in their cart - when you select it, they say "this is actually two twins" LOL). Would love to see the "strap" they speak of in terms of how the two twin adjustable bases are strapped together to prevent movement, and how they ensure the two twin bases are synced with one remote, for those that have a one-piece king mattress.
This is exactly the same question I have
All you have to do is sync the two mattresses with the sync cable that they provide and connect the cable to each bed which has a sync port for Bed A and Bed B. Bed A and Bed B will now be controlled simultaneously.
Love, Want and most definitely need, this looks like the best I've been looking at,...all fingers crossed.
Why are you crossing your fingers? Is that witchcraft?
All your reviews are thorough and detailed. Thank you!
Our pleasure! So glad they are helpful for you.
Excellent overview!
Thank you!
Watched this video, and nectars. We chose a dream cloud hybrid premium with adjustable base (split king)
Great, very glad these videos were helpful for you, Theresa! Did you use our links when you purchased so you can get an additional $50 back from us on your purchase?

❤ you did an awesome job and explaining everything I just bought myself one too
Thanks so much for your kind words, Argelia! I hope you are very happy with your choice.
Thanks for the detailed review
Great review! Thank you
Thanks Dirk! Very glad it was helpful for you.

Going back to your comment about zero clearance... So Dreamcloud officially says this can be used on top of slats?
I'm not aware of any official statements on that specifically, however they did say that it's zero clearance, and we also showed this in the video. And that's one of the things that zero clearance means.
I hope that's helpful.
Excellent review..... I have 2x wink xl twin firm.... Would this base work best for our winks or other suggestions? THank you...
Glad this was helpful for you Lee! Yes, this base will work equally well with any adjustable base compatible mattress, which includes the WinkBed. Hope that's helpful.
Hi can you tell me how i can attach a headboard please. And if possible attach a link to hardware. Ty

Is the mattress shorter than a normal mattress? I notice your feet hanging off the end.
Hi Linda -- Thanks for your question. No, the one shown in this video is a standard queen. Mike is 6 feet tall so is on the tall side to be using a queen size in the first place. On top of that, when any mattress is used an adjustable base, its functional length gets a bit shorter as the base is elevated higher and higher.

Any way to compare this base to the Ghostbed adjustable base?
I can not find a pair button on my base . I've searched all over
Me too!!!!
that bed is thick lol does it allow for the full range of motion of the base?
Hi there -- Thanks for your astute question. Technically it does, but this particular mattress model does have a difficult time conforming to the curves of the base when it's in a fully elevated position. This is a good example of why we explain to consumers that not all mattresses that are technically "adjustable base compatible" are created equally in terms of how compatible they actually are.

Hello, do you think the feet will scratch a hardwood floor?
Hi Bob -- Thanks for your question. These legs don't seem any more likely to scratch your floor than the legs of any other bed frame -- or any other piece of furniture that gets sat on for that matter (couches, chairs, etc.).

Is this a queen-adjustable bed frame or a full one?
Hi Ankit -- The model shown in the video is a queen-size, however this base is available in all standard sizes.
Are there any bases that can be controlled by voice command?

How tall is this guy & what size bed?
6 feet tall. Queen size bed. He's right at the tall end of the spectrum for a queen size, but he purposely hangs his feet a little off the edge so the soles of his shoes aren't on the mattress.
Where the lights under bed
Can you use a Tempur-Pedic with this base?
Yes, all Tempur-Pedic mattresses are adjustable base compatible, which means they can be used with any adjustable base, including this one.
Hmmm, You are too tall for this mattress, feet and head hanging off. Might want to demo another model. Great job with the guidelines.
Thanks Chrissy! You're right that a queen size mattress would be a bit small to use with an adjustable base, though it works just fine when lying flat. With the way that an adjustable base beds the mattress, you'll use 2-4 more inches of length when the head is fully elevated than you will when it is flat.

Review the Idealbed "iEscape" and the SleepEZ 13" natural latex mattress.
Hi Jason -- Thanks for your suggestion. We do prioritize our reviews based on input from our readers, so this feedback will definitely be noted in our records.
