Perfect Cloud keeps its lineup simple: two all-foam mattresses with the strong motion control many couples want and noticeably different surface feels. UltraPlush has the steadier, more neutral medium feel, while Elegance adds a softer quilted top and deeper cushioning. Both relieved pressure well in our sessions, but neither matches a hybrid for edge stability or bounce.

Perfect Cloud at a Glance
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perfect Cloud UltraPlush | 4.1 | Excellent motion isolation; balanced contouring | Average edge support; little bounce | Couples and solo sleepers who want an even medium feel | Varies by size and promotion |
| Perfect Cloud Elegance | 4.2 | Plusher top; strong pressure relief | Slow rebound; edges still compress | Side and back sleepers who want deeper cushioning | Varies by size and promotion |
What Stood Out in Testing
Across our review sessions, the two mattresses shared the traits people usually want from memory foam: quiet movement, steady pressure relief, and close contouring without much bounce. Marcus (6'1", about 230 pounds) found the centers supportive but wanted a firmer perimeter. Mia (5'4", about 125 pounds) preferred Elegance for side sleeping because its quilted top eased pressure at her shoulder. Carlos (5'11", about 175 pounds) stayed level on both in back sleeping, though Elegance gave him a smoother transition into the support core. UltraPlush is the better choice for a consistent medium feel; Elegance is the stronger all-around option if you want more cushioning.

How We Evaluated These Mattresses
Following our mattress testing process, each mattress went through full nights, naps, and longer periods of reading in bed. We compared support by tracking hip and shoulder sink in back and side sleeping, then noted any stiffness the next morning. We checked firmness across positions, monitored surface temperature during 30-minute rest periods, and repeated partner-movement tests from both sides of the bed. Timed foam-recovery checks showed how quickly each surface responded after pressure was removed, while repeated sit-and-rise trials revealed how much the perimeter compressed. We also watched for changes in height, feel, and noise over several weeks.
Perfect Cloud Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Perfect Cloud UltraPlush
Our testing experience
UltraPlush settled into a true medium feel, about 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. Our sample reached its full 10-inch height after expansion. On my side, the top layers cushioned the shoulder without letting the waist dip; on my back, the denser base kept the hips level. Mia wanted a little more softness for long side-sleeping stretches, while Marcus liked the center support but noticed the edge folding more sharply under his weight.
The measurements matched that experience. A 44-pound load compressed the center by about 1.8 inches and the edge by 2.6 inches. After the load was removed, the foam recovered 90% of its height in 3.8 seconds, so turning was manageable but never springy. During a 30-minute heat check, the surface rose 6.2°F from baseline. That is acceptable for dense foam, though a genuinely hot sleeper will still want light, breathable bedding.
What we liked
-
Partner movement faded quickly instead of traveling across the bed.
-
The medium contour held the hips in place during back sleeping.
-
The simple three-layer build felt consistent from night to night.
Who it is best for
-
Light sleepers who wake when a partner changes position.
-
Back and side sleepers who prefer an even medium feel.
-
Guest rooms that need broad, easy-to-like comfort.
Where it falls short
-
The edge compresses too much for people who sit there often.
-
Hot sleepers may need cooler sheets and lighter bedding.
-
The slow rebound will not suit anyone who prefers a buoyant surface.

| Overall Score | 4.1 | A balanced medium foam mattress with excellent motion control. |
Perfect Cloud Elegance
Our testing experience
Elegance felt softer as soon as we sat down, even though Perfect Cloud labels both adult models Medium. We rated it about 5.5 out of 10 because the quilted top gave more easily before the lower foams took over. The sample measured 12 inches once expanded. Mia's shoulder sank more comfortably than it did on UltraPlush, and Carlos found the layer transition smooth enough to keep his lower back supported through a full night.
With the same 44-pound load, the center compressed 2.1 inches and the edge 2.7 inches. The extra depth prevented the mattress from feeling bottom-heavy, while its edge held slightly better than UltraPlush during quick sit-and-stand checks. In our responsiveness check, the foam took 4.1 seconds to recover 90% of its height, confirming the slow, cushioned feel. Surface temperature rose 5.6°F over 30 minutes—slightly better than UltraPlush, but not enough to make this a true cooling mattress.
What we liked
-
The quilted top eased shoulder and hip pressure without feeling loose.
-
The thicker foam stack supported the torso without an abrupt firm layer underneath.
-
Motion stayed localized, even when the other sleeper changed position sharply.
Who it is best for
-
Side sleepers who want gentler contact at the shoulder and hip.
-
Back sleepers who like cushioning but still need steady lumbar support.
-
Couples who value quiet foam more than bounce.
Where it falls short
-
The slow rebound can make frequent position changes feel deliberate.
-
Warm sleepers may still need lighter bedding.
-
The perimeter is better than UltraPlush, but it still compresses more than a reinforced hybrid edge.

Which Perfect Cloud Mattress Should You Choose?
Start with your sleeping position and how much cushioning you want at first contact. Choose UltraPlush if you prefer a straightforward medium feel and want strong motion isolation without a deep initial sink. Choose Elegance if you spend more time on your side or want a softer quilted surface over a stable base. Warm sleepers should treat temperature control as a complete setup: room temperature, sheets, mattress protector, and comforter can matter as much as the foam. If you rely on the edge to get in and out of bed, neither model belongs among the strongest edge-support options.
What to Know Before Buying
Both mattresses are all-foam, so neither provides the reinforced perimeter or quick lift of a coil-based hybrid. The edges compress during repeated sitting, especially under more weight, and the slow foam recovery can feel restrictive to sleepers who turn often. Cooling is respectable for memory foam but falls short of a genuinely airy hybrid. Purchase policies also depend on where you buy: Perfect Cloud's 120-night trial applies to mattresses ordered directly from its website, while marketplace rules can differ.
How Perfect Cloud Compares with Alternatives
Nectar Classic is the more direct all-foam comparison. Its 12-inch, medium-firm build feels firmer and holds sleepers closer to the surface than Elegance. It is a better fit if you want a sturdier foam feel and a longer trial, while Perfect Cloud offers the clearer choice between an even medium surface and a plusher quilted top.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is the better comparison if edge support, airflow, and easier movement matter more than deep motion isolation. Its coils create a more lifted surface and a steadier perimeter, but partner movement is easier to notice than it is on either Perfect Cloud model. Choose DreamCloud for bounce and edge use; choose Perfect Cloud for a quieter, slower foam feel.
Getting the Best Results from Your Mattress
-
Allow the foam to expand fully and settle before judging firmness.
-
Use breathable sheets and a light comforter if you sleep warm.
-
Rotate the mattress from head to foot periodically to spread wear.
-
Match pillow height to your sleeping position so neck tension is not mistaken for mattress pressure.
-
Use a firm, level base with closely spaced slats so the foam stays evenly supported.
FAQs
Is motion isolation good enough for light sleepers?
Yes. UltraPlush and Elegance both absorbed routine partner movement quickly, making either one a strong option for sleepers who wake easily when the other person turns over.
What is the biggest difference between UltraPlush and Elegance?
Elegance has a plusher quilted surface and gives the shoulder and hip more room to settle. UltraPlush feels more even from the first inch down. Both are medium all-foam mattresses with excellent motion isolation, but Elegance is better for deeper cushioning.
