Nest beats DreamCloud to the game by a wide margin in the offering of a wide diversity of mattresses made from different sources.

Nest offers a better firmness feel by constructing its mattresses to come in 3 different levels of firmness.

As for comfort, Nest embedded the TitanChill Endurance foam layer into its hybrid mattress for superior comfort.
