Construction & materials

	Casper Element	DreamCloud
Layers	Breathable Top Foam, Durable Support Foam.	Quilted Tight Top, 1.5" foam quilted to a Cashmere blend cover (Density: 1.5lb, IFD: 17), 1" Gel-Infused Memory Foam (Density: 2.5lb, IFD: 10), 2.5" Support Foam (Density: 1.7lb, IFD: 20), 8" Individually Wrapped Innerspring Coil System with Edge Support, 1" Firm Support Foam (Density: 1.6lb, IFD: 36).
Cover	Planet-friendly textiles. Up to 9 recycled bottles in each cover.	The DreamCloud mattress is wrapped in a Cashmere blend cover that is soft-to-the-touch (Made with Polyester, Rayon and Cashmere). The "tight-top" design of quilting the cover with the first foam layer offers added comfort and some loft - but not quite as much as loft as the DreamCloud Premier with the Euro Top. Whilst the cover isn't removable or washable it will keep you cozy and cool thanks to the breathable blend of fabrics.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	No	Yes
Comfort	A layer of AirScape perforated breathable foam increases airflow and circulates air so you don't get too hot at night. The innovative cooling system designed to help keep you cool all night. AirScape: A top layer of perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat. Tiny holes move hot air and body heat away.	DreamCloud's stay-put technology means you won't feel a thing when your partner rolls over. Individually wrapped coils mean vibrations don't travel because the coils are not directly connected to each other; therefore, when pressure is placed on one coil, it will not drag others down with it. The supportive foam layer also drastically reduces feeling any movements. Gel-Infused Memory Foam helps you sleep cool. Innerspring coils promote airflow better than all-foam mattresses. The combination of gel foam with the quilted cover helps regulate your temperature.
Support	Premium foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure. The durable base is engineered to prevent sinking and sagging while supporting your whole body. Balanced softness and support.	No matter what position you prefer to sleep in, individually wrapped coils adapt to your sleep shape. High-density gel memory foam relieves your pressure points by diagnosing where you need support the most. The foam cradles your shoulders, hips and problem areas by gently contouring to your body. The memory foam layer cushions the body at its most sensitive areas, like the pressure points while offering that much-loved traditional memory foam feel of softness, cushion and relief. The support layer provides resistance against the body and stops you sinking in too far and feeling the coils below. Edge-to-edge innerspring coils create a supportive surface that flexes to conform to individual curves and contours of the body. Three rows of higher-gauge coils are used for the perimeter to increase the edge support and reduce the "rolling off" the edge feeling. The base support layer provides the structure and stability for all the layers above.
