Comparing Puffy Mattresses

Why We Love Puffy and Why You Will Too

The Puffy line of mattress is a bed-in-a-box line that includes multiple firmness levels, making Puffy great for several different types of sleepers. The Puffy mattress, Puffy’s flagship model, is an all-foam mattress with excellent motion isolation and responsiveness, meaning it’s ideal for people who toss and turn, – called combination sleepers – and their partners.

The Puffy Lux comes in an all-foam and hybrid mode and offers incredible pressure relief and spinal alignment, which can be a huge help for side sleepers or anyone with back pain. The final mattress in the Puffy Line, the Puffy Royal, also comes in an all-foam and hybrid version. It has a 5-zoned support system to keep the head, neck, shoulders and feet comfortable while supporting heavier areas of the body, such as the back.

You will likely prefer the Puffy Lux and the Puffy Royal mattresses if you tend to sleep hot, since both have much better cooling properties than the original Puffy mattress. If you sleep on your stomach, you will sleep much better on the Puffy because it offers more firmness and support than the Puffy Lux. The Puffy Royal offers support for all sleep styles and for those who are struggling with pain in sensitive joints.

Which Puffy Should I Buy?

Here at Mattress Nerd, we classify lightweight sleepers as weighing < 130 lbs., while average-weight sleepers are between 130-230 lbs. and heavyweight sleepers weigh over 230 lbs.. 

Whatever your sleep position or body type, you should find a mattress that works for you somewhere in the Puffy line. The Puffy Royal isn’t suited to stomach sleepers, but back and side sleepers should find comfort in the mattress. The Puffy Lux and Puffy Original are each fantastic for side sleepers.

Other Considerations: Cooling, Back Pain and Couples

Cooling

If you tend to get hot when you sleep, then cooling is a very important factor when it comes time to choose a new mattress. Some mattresses, particularly memory foam mattresses, naturally absorb more body heat throughout the night. However, the Puffy has a ClimateComfort layer of foam to help absorb and dissipate heat.The Puffy Lux does an even better job, with an additional layer of cooling cloud gel foam.

Back Pain

Spine alignment is another important factor for all sleeping positions, but it’s especially important for stomach sleepers and side sleepers. Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress to support their lower back and prevent it from sinking into the mattress and causing back pain. For stomach sleepers, the Puffy provides the best spine alignment. However, side sleepers need a softer mattress to cushion their spine and keep it aligned, making the Puffy Lux the better option.

Couples

Motion isolation is a factor that determines how well the mattress prevents movement on one side of the bed from transferring to the other side of the bed. If you and your partner don’t move around in your sleep much or if you sleep alone, then motion isolation probably isn’t the most important factor when it comes to choosing a new mattress.

But if you or your partner tend to switch sleeping positions a lot throughout the night, then you might want a mattress that does a good job at isolating motion. The Puffy is great for motion isolation because it is relatively firm.

Puffy Mattress Construction

How Construction Impacts The Feel of the Mattress

The Puffy mattress is made from three foam layers: the support layer is on the bottom, and it’s made of high-density polyfoam to give the mattress excellent structure and support. The transition layer is 2 inches of ClimateComfort foam which is specifically designed to help with temperature regulation. Then the top layer of the foam bed, also called the “comfort layer,” is 2 inches of gel memory foam that provides contouring and comfort.

The comfort layer in the Puffy Lux mattress is designed to adapt to your body and provide pressure relief in the areas where people need it most, like the shoulders, lower back and hips. Finally, the top layer is a cooling gel foam to ensure that the Puffy Lux sleeps as cool as possible.

The Puffy Royal is thick, plush and great for side sleepers who need softness on delicate pressure points like the shoulders and hips. However, stomach sleepers won’t find the support they need in the Puffy Royal’s plush layers.
