Puffy launched its first mattress in 2017, with the intention of helping people feel like they’re sleeping on a cloud – isn’t that the dream? The company sells three mattress models, each featuring plush, gel-infused memory foam, as well as body contouring layers, to give great pressure relief and spine support to sleepers.
Today we’ll be comparing all three of Puffy’s mattresses: the Puffy Cloud, the Puffy Lux Hybrid, and the Puffy Royal Hybrid, which is the company’s most luxurious offering. In this Puffy mattress comparison, which one will win your heart?

Who I’d Recommend the Puffy Cloud For
- Couples – Light to average-weight couples who love memory foam could benefit from this Puffy’s motion isolation and cooling properties. However, none of the Puffy beds offer decent edge support, which may be an issue if you both like to spread out.
- Lightweight sleepers – Lightweight people under 130 pounds could benefit from the plush feel of this mattress as they should experience a good balance of pressure relief and support.
- Shoppers on a smaller budget – The Puffy Cloud is the brand’s cheapest mattress, but it still offers great body contouring and pressure relief with fewer luxury touches.

Who I’d Recommend the Puffy Lux Hybrid For
- Side sleepers – The Puffy Lux Hybrid should provide sufficient pressure relief to side sleepers, who often need this in their hips and shoulders.
- Those looking for a softer mattress – The Lux Hybrid has a 4.5 out of 10 firmness rating, giving a softer medium feel that some sleepers may enjoy.
- Shoppers seeking extra cooling but on a tighter budget – For those who sleep hot but have a tighter budget, the Lux Hybrid has coils that provide added airflow at a lower price point than the Puffy Royal Hybrid.

Who I’d Recommend the Puffy Royal Hybrid For
- Back sleepers – This bed should offer great support and back pain relief for light to average-weight back sleepers, who may benefit from fantastic body contouring and lumbar support.
- Hot sleepers – As a hybrid, the Puffy Royal is also great for hot sleepers. This bed comes with gel-infused memory foam, temperature-regulating Climate Comfort™ foam, and coils for added breathability and airflow.
- Luxury shoppers – The Royal Hybrid is the most luxurious of Puffy’s offerings, so if you’re looking to splurge and treat yourself, this could be the one.
Comparing Puffy Cloud vs. Puffy Lux Hybrid vs. Puffy Royal Hybrid: Top Similarities
- Motion isolation – All three Puffy beds have great motion isolation, so you shouldn’t be disturbed by a restless partner or pet moving around.
- Limited edge support – All of the Puffy mattresses have weak edge support, which is something to consider if you share your bed and need to use the whole surface area. Those with mobility issues may also prefer a bed with good edge support to assist when getting in and out of bed. The Royal Hybrid has thicker foam around the perimeter to reinforce the edge, but we didn’t find it particularly effective.
- Not for heavier people – We think heavyweight sleepers over 230 pounds may find all three beds too soft and lacking in support. In this case, we recommend a mattress made specifically for heavier sleepers instead.
Comparing Puffy Cloud vs. Puffy Lux Hybrid vs. Puffy Royal Hybrid: Key Differences
- Coils – The Puffy Lux Hybrid and Puffy Royal Hybrid models feature a layer of coils, which the Puffy doesn’t have.
- Price – A Queen-size Puffy Cloud costs 1,799 dollars, while the same size in the Lux Hybrid is 2,249 dollars, and 3,149 dollars in the Royal Hybrid.
- Mattress height – The Puffy Cloud stands at 10 inches tall, with the Lux Hybrid at 12 inches, and the Royal Hybrid at 14 inches. A mattress’ height may affect your ability to use it on an existing base, and taller mattresses require deeper bed sheets.
Comparing Firmness, Support & Feel
Firmness
We rate firmness on a scale between 1 to 10, with 10 being the firmest. All three beds are on the softer end of the scale, with the Puffy Cloud coming in at 5.5 out of 10 (medium-plush), the Puffy Lux Hybrid at 4.5 (soft-medium), and the Royal Hybrid at 5.5 (medium-plush). Light to average-weight people tend to be a good match with plush beds, as they can enjoy the comfy cushioning without sinking too far into the comfort layers.
Support
Lightweight sleepers should feel well-supported on all three mattresses, though lighter stomach sleepers should consider the Puffy Cloud, as it offers a little more support in the hip area. Average-weight back and side sleepers should also feel the benefits, especially with the five-zoned support in the Royal Hybrid. We don’t think any of these beds are particularly suitable for heavyweight people, who may prefer a firmer mattress or one made for plus-size people.
Feel
All three mattresses are delivered compressed in a box, taking around 24-48 hours to fully expand. The mattresses all feel incredibly plush, and you should notice a deep sinkage when settling into them. If you’re looking for an extra luxurious feel, consider the Lux Hybrid or Royal Hybrid. You shouldn’t feel too hot on any of the mattresses. With that being said, the Lux Hybrid and Royal Hybrid offer further cooling capabilities with their breezy coil units.
Comparing Sinkage and Bounce
If you’re looking for a more springy feel, the Puffy Royal Hybrid feels slightly responsive, especially compared to the other two beds, which have hardly any bounce. However, the four foam layers absorb much of the bounce, so it’s not as bouncy as many other innerspring models.
You should experience deep sinkage and excellent pressure relief in the Puffy Cloud, Puffy Lux Hybrid, and Puffy Royal Hybrid, thanks to their multiple comfort foam layers. The Lux Hybrid features exclusive Dual Cloud Foam to relieve pressure without letting the sleeper feel stuck, while the Royal Hybrid has exclusive Reflexive Memory Foam and Cloud Air Technology foam for extra cushioning and support.
Comparing Motion Transfer
Memory foam beds tend to excel at motion isolation, as foam absorbs movement better than springs do. Motion isolation is important when sharing your bed with a partner or pet, as you don’t want to be disturbed by movement from their side of the bed when they’re getting in and out, or tossing and turning.
All three Puffy beds offer good motion isolation, which is great news for couples. Despite featuring a coil unit, the Puffy Lux Hybrid and Royal Hybrid still manage to isolate motion. If motion isolation is important to you, we highly recommend any one of these Puffy beds.

Comparing Cooling
Memory foam has a tendency to get hot because it can trap body heat and increase the temperature of the bed and its sleeper. Puffy has included cooling gel in all three of these beds, which prevents heat from becoming trapped in the foam.
The beds all feature Puffy’s Climate Comfort™ foam, which is humidity-resistant, breathable, and resistant to temperature change. However, if you’re a particularly hot sleeper, we’d recommend one of the hybrid options since they also have a coil unit to promote breathability and airflow, allowing for an even cooler night’s sleep.
Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)
Puffy Cloud Construction
The 10-inch Puffy Cloud mattress starts with a hypoallergenic polyester charcoal gray and white cover, featuring a cloud design on the top and diamonds on the side. Along with being stain-resistant, the cover is removable and washable. The Grip Base cover keeps the mattress stable on your chosen base.
- The first layer features 2 inches of Cooling Cloud™ memory foam that’s infused with gel to move heat away from the body, helping to regulate body temperature. This layer is designed to cradle muscles and joints, offering pressure relief in every sleeping position.
- The transition layer has 2 inches of Climate Comfort™ foam that’s humidity-resistant and constructed to allow airflow, keeping you cool. This layer offers further pressure relief, easing you into the firm layer below.
- The base layer stabilizes the mattress with 6 inches of Firm Core Support Foam that’s designed to react to body weight and pressure, offering personalized support. This layer aids with motion isolation.
Puffy Lux Hybrid Construction
The Puffy Lux Hybrid is 12 inches tall, with three foam comfort layers above a layer of pocketed coils. Encasing the mattress is a stain-resistant and hypoallergenic cover.
- The Cooling Cloud™ Foam is designed to dissipate heat and create a plush, contouring surface.
- The Dual Cloud Foam is 1.5 inches thick and should provide excellent pressure relief without leaving the sleeper feeling “stuck” in the mattress.
- The Climate Comfort™ Foam is a 2-inch thick transition layer. This foam should wick away moisture to keep you cool and dry at night.
- The support layer consists of pocketed coils, which give the mattress great support. Another advantage of the coils is that they provide extra airflow, and these ones are individually wrapped to further enhance the bed’s motion-isolating capabilities.
- The base layer sits at the bottom and is made of high-density poly foam. The base foam acts as a surface for the coils to press off of.
Puffy Royal Hybrid Construction
The 14-inch Puffy Royal Hybrid has the same stain-resistant, washable polyester cover as the other Puffy mattresses, with a charcoal gray and white design.
- The first layer features 1.5 inches of cooling foam that offers plush contouring and helps dissipate body heat.
- The second layer has 1.5 inches of Reflexive Memory Foam. This premium contouring foam is designed to be responsive to position changes.
- The third layer features 2 inches of humidity-resistant Climate Comfort™ foam that relieves pressure and keeps the mattress cool.
- The transition layer has 2 inches of Cloud Air Technology Foam, which is exclusive to the Royal Hybrid. This features sculpting technology via a five-zone targeted support system, to help keep the spine aligned.
- The support layer features 7-inch individually-pocketed coils to provide airflow, support, and motion isolation, as well as high-density foam around the perimeter for edge support.
Comparing Company Policies & Price

Final Thoughts
You should get good pressure relief with all three Puffy beds; the brand specializes in that deep sinkage and enveloping feel that memory foam is known for. If you prefer to feel ‘on top’ of the bed, though, this likely isn’t the brand for you.
We think lightweight sleepers could really enjoy the Puffy Cloud, while light to average-weight side and back sleepers may like the Puffy Lux Hybrid. Additionally, back sleepers could be a great match with the Royal Hybrid.
As all these beds are on the softer side, so we don’t recommend them for heavyweight sleepers, who will likely need more support to keep their spine in alignment.
