»

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?

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.
