Foam for cushioning. Springs for support.
The Boring Hybrid has a cushioned surface with medium-firm support underneath. Here’s what goes into it.
Cushioning for your shoulders and hips
Energex™ foam cushions your shoulders and hips and quickly returns to shape as you change positions.
Space for heat to escape
A breathable knit cover, open-cell foams, and a coil base let air move through the mattress.
Support across the bed
Individually wrapped coils respond to your body. Foam around the edges adds support when you sit or sleep near the side.
Give it a year. Make yourself comfortable.

We compare Boring Hybrid with the current DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, which DreamCloud describes as its most popular hybrid. Both combine foam with individually wrapped coils and offer a 365-night trial. Prices are for Queen mattresses before tax, without optional bedding or bed-frame bundles.
DreamCloud describes Classic Hybrid as firm, Premier Hybrid as medium-firm, Luxe Hybrid as medium, and Ultra Hybrid as medium-soft. The models also differ in height, cover, and support features. This page compares Premier Hybrid specifically. Classic is the lower-priced option; check DreamCloud's current lineup if that is the model you had in mind.
Boring Hybrid has a cushioned surface with medium-firm support, rated 6/10 on our own scale. Energex™ foam cushions your body and quickly returns to shape as you change positions. Pocket springs provide support underneath. DreamCloud Premier Hybrid pairs contouring memory foam and a quilted Euro top with individually wrapped coils. DreamCloud also describes Premier Hybrid as medium-firm. Each brand describes its own feel; your body and sleeping position affect how either mattress feels.
Boring Hybrid uses a breathable knit cover, open-cell foams, and a coil base that allows air to move through the mattress. DreamCloud Premier Hybrid uses cooling fibers in its CloudQuilt™ Euro top and a coil support system. The constructions take different approaches to breathability. Your bedding, room temperature, and personal preferences also affect sleeping temperature.
Boring AF® uses fast-recovery Energex™ foam over an all-foam support core. It has a firmer 7/10 feel on Boring's scale, compared with our Hybrid's 6/10 feel. Both have a 365-night trial. The comparison table above is hybrid versus hybrid; Boring AF® is a separate option if you prefer an all-foam construction.
Yes. Both offer 365 nights from mattress delivery, subject to their trial policies. DreamCloud requires at least 30 days before requesting a return of an opened mattress. Boring's published trial policy does not impose a minimum wait. Read Boring's trial terms and DreamCloud's trial policy for eligibility and condition requirements.
Boring offers a 10-year limited mattress warranty. DreamCloud advertises its Forever Warranty™. Both cover specified defects and have exclusions. The sleep trial is the period for deciding whether the comfort works for you; the limited warranty addresses covered defects.
