Quick verdict
In the original test, Ben found the Arctic Dreams hybrid relatively firm, with a cover that felt cool to the touch. This is a historical assessment of that sample, not a test of DreamFoam’s current lineup. The Arctic Dreams name was not shown in the current DreamFoam mattress collection when we checked; confirm availability and exact specifications with the seller.
Best for: readers comparing an older Arctic Dreams model or shoppers who prefer a firmer, budget-oriented hybrid. Consider another feel: side sleepers who need deeper shoulder and hip cushioning should compare softer options.

Ben’s original Arctic Dreams experience
In my original review, the hybrid felt on the firmer end of the spectrum. I thought the coil support and relatively thin comfort layer contributed to that feel, while the batting in the cover softened it a little.
I liked the silky feel of the phase-change cover, which felt cool to the touch. I also used a 14-pound bowling ball to demonstrate sink in the original review. These observations apply to the sample I tried; a cool-to-the-touch cover does not guarantee a cool night for every sleeper.
The original mattress arrived in a box about a week after I ordered it. Delivery timing can vary by product and location. The videos above show my earlier foam and hybrid overviews.
Earlier foam and hybrid designs
The original article described two versions: an all-foam mattress with a foam support core and a hybrid using individually encased coils over a foam base. Both were described with a quilted top and gel foam. These are historical specifications, not verified details for a current replacement. Construction and model names can change.
Who might prefer this feel?
Back or stomach sleepers: Those who prefer a firmer feel may appreciate the reviewed hybrid’s more supportive surface, although comfort varies with body size and preference.
Side sleepers: The firmer feel may be appealing if you dislike deep sink, but compare a softer mattress if you need more cushioning around your shoulder and hip. Your pillow also affects comfort.
Hot sleepers: A cover that feels cool initially is one factor; room temperature, bedding and foam feel also matter. Compare our cooling mattress guide.
Buying a current DreamFoam mattress
DreamFoam’s current collection lists CopperFlex Essential and CopperFlex RV Hybrid. They are alternatives, not confirmed identical replacements for Arctic Dreams. Compare the actual size, depth, feel, materials, shipping, return terms and total price on the current listing. For an RV, measure the available length and width and check corner shapes and platform clearance.
Prices and trial terms quoted in the original article were historical. Check the seller’s current policy and warranty for the exact product and purchase channel before ordering.
