Reverie Mattress Review Hybrid Cell
Reverie's DreamCell technology lets sleepers rearrange individual foam springs to dial in their own firmness, at a genuinely premium price.
The Reverie does a fantastic job with support, providing a comfortable sleep.
Our reviewerSleep Customization Taken to a New Level
Reverie makes firmness genuinely customizable through hundreds of individual foam springs called DreamCells, which come in four firmness levels from soft (pink) to firm (yellow) that customers can rearrange themselves. We gauged our medium configuration at a 6 out of 10 on firmness, with the DreamCells working together to disperse weight evenly across the bed.
We tested the Natural Latex version, which pairs a natural latex comfort layer with the DreamCells below for a lighter feel than Reverie's Memory Foam Hybrid option, a good fit for back sleepers like us who tend to avoid memory foam. Sinkage came in around 2 inches, with a bit more horizontal motion transfer than a full-foam bed, since the spring-based DreamCells add more energy and bounce to the sleep.
The foam-and-coil construction keeps the bed sleeping notably cooler than a full foam mattress, and we found no reports of off-gassing, Reverie uses CertiPUR-US memory foam and natural rubber throughout.
This level of customization doesn't come cheap: the Natural Latex queen runs $2,999, and pairing it with Reverie's adjustable 9T, 4M or 3E foundations pushes the full system to $2,000-$4,000. It's not a bed for first-time mattress shoppers on a budget, but for sleepers who've struggled to find the right firmness, Reverie is worth talking to directly, the company will walk customers through the best DreamCell configuration before they buy.
Why We Love It
- Fully customizable firmness via rearrangeable DreamCells
- Comfortable, supportive sleep with even weight dispersal
- Sleeps cooler than a typical full-foam mattress
- CertiPUR-US memory foam and natural rubber with no reported off-gassing
- Free shipping with white-glove setup and old mattress removal
- 101-night trial and 10-year warranty
Considerations
- Very expensive — $2,999 for a queen, and $2,000-$4,000 with an adjustable foundation
- More horizontal motion transfer than a full-foam bed
- Configuring DreamCell firmness benefits from consulting Reverie directly rather than guessing
Our Hands-On Review
We gauged our medium Reverie configuration at a 6 out of 10 on firmness, with the DreamCells dispersing weight evenly for a genuinely comfortable sleep. With our chosen firmness, we measured about 2 inches of sinkage, and the natural latex top layer contoured and hugged the body on contact.
As back sleepers, we tested the Natural Latex version rather than the Memory Foam Hybrid, since we tend to prefer a firmer, more responsive feel over memory foam.
