If you’re looking for a sleep experience that’s akin to sleeping in a 5-star hotel bed but you’re a little strapped for cash at the moment to throw thousands of dollars away on a hotel bed (and yes, it can be bought), the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper just might be the ticket.

From the same makers of the TikTok-famous Moon Pod bean bag chair, the Cloud Cover mattress topper features the same pressure-relieving memory foam as well as microfiber particles that give the mattress topper its plush, hotel bed-like feel.

Firmness Test

Moon Pod Cloud Cover firmness level

Mattress topper firmness is pretty subjective, even more so than mattresses because you’d need to take your current mattress’ firmness into consideration.

The Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper will turn your mattress softer and if you already have a soft mattress, it will make it even softer. Suffice it to say, if you have a firmer bed, the Moon Pod mattress topper will turn it softer but not by much.

On the mattress firmness scale, the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper sits on a 2.5 making it an extremely soft mattress topper.

While we always say that if you’re a strict back and stomach sleeper, you should opt for a firmer mattress, you can still use the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper as it can still provide a lot of pressure relief especially if you pair it with a much firmer bed.

Those who suffer from chronic pain and hip pain will also benefit from a soft mattress topper such as the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper.

Cooling Test

We rate the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Although we first thought the mattress topper cover was made out of PCM or phase change material, it turns out that it is just made with a cotton cover that’s breathable and cool to the touch.

Though not as active cooling as PCM, the mattress topper cover of the Moon Pod Cloud Cover still did a pretty good job of allowing heat to escape.

Comfort Test

This is where the Moon Pods Cloud Cover mattress topper really shines.

We rate it a 10 out of 10 for comfort and pressure relief.

Sure, any mattress topper worth its salt can offer you that plush, soft as a cloud feel that high-end hotel mattresses just seem to have down pat but the Moon Pod Cloud cover mattress topper just has the extra somethin’ somethin’.

Just like the Moon Pod Bean Bag, the Cloud Cover mattress topper features the same zero-gravity tech (read: engineered floating sensation) allows you to sleep practically weightless which in turn keeps all the pressure off your main pressure points which means you get an absolutely pain-free and super comfortable sleeping experience.

If you’re someone who suffers from chronic pain and/or shoulder pain and you can’t afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress just yet, something like the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper could be a good alternative.

Support Test

We rate the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper an 8 out of 10 for support.

You would think something this soft wouldn’t be able to offer much in terms of support – believe me, we were kinda surprised too – but it actually does. Just don’t expect it to offer the same support as say, a mattress topper with micro-coils.

Bear in mind though, the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper (or any other mattress topper for that matter) won’t really be able to offer the same support as an actual mattress so don’t expect any zoned support just to manage your expectations.

It can, however, help with scoliosis if you suffer from it.

Construction

The Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper’s construction is pretty simple – just filling encased in a mattress cover.

But the Moon Pod Cloud Cover’s filling is made up of tiny CertiPUR-US certified memory foam clusters surrounded by thousands of microfibres that offer a unique down-like feel.

Think of the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper as a memory foam/down alternative mattress topper that combines the best benefits of both and none of the downsides (like heat retention).

At first we thought that the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper’s cover is made with phase change material because it sure felt like one but it isn’t – it’s actually just 100% cotton that’s breathable and cool to the touch.


Moon Pod Cloud Cover straps
The straps were a bit whack though…

There are wide elastic bands on the bottom of the mattress topper that helps the topper stay in place but this is where the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper actually disappoints us.

If your mattress in on the thicker side, expect to have hard time getting the bands to stay in place but thankfully the Cloud Cover mattress topper also features anti-skid bottoms which, in our honest opinion, are doing all the hard work.

Just like with every mattress topper, remember to always use a fitted sheet over it. Doing so also helps the mattress topper stay in place.

The Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper is non-washable.

Should you experience any spills or accidents, spot clean immediately but make sure to use something gentle.

Durability

The Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper is made with premium, high quality materials that’s meant to last with proper care and maintenance as well as proper use.

The Moon Pod Cloud Cover should last you a good several years if you take good care of it (as you should with all your bedding products, beds and bed frames.

That means no eating and drinking in bed, no jumping, no flammable things, no parties in bed – you get the gist.)

Value

We have to be honest, for a mattress topper, the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper is not cheap.

Hence why we rate it a 7.5 out of 10 for value.

A lot of other mattress toppers out there can be had for less (ones with better elastic bands, are you listening Moon Pod) but not a lot can offer a zero-gravity sleep experience.

Conclusion

Just like the Moon Pod Bean Bag, the Moon Pod Cloud Cover mattress topper offers a unique sleeping experience that mimics the sensation you get from flotation therapy with its zero-gravity technology.

Sure, it’s a little bit pricier than a lot of other mattress toppers out there but it says what it does and what it does is gives us the best, pressure relieving sleep and that’s good enough for us.
