Puffy is a bed-in-a-box mattress company that offers memory foam and hybrid beds in a variety of price ranges. Every mattress includes a ClimateComfort foam layer to increase breathability and temperature regulation. Additionally, the foam in every model meets the rigorous standards necessary to be considered CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they are environmentally friendly and safe for your family.
The original Puffy mattress is the firmest, most affordable bed in the Puffy line, and it’s the best for reducing motion transfer. The Puffy Lux mattress is more plush, has better pressure relief at key pressure points like the hips and shoulders and has strong edge support. The Puffy Royal mattress is the most expensive model. It is also the softest on the firmness scale, but can still work for all sleeping positions, from side sleepers to stomach sleepers to back sleepers. Plus, the Puffy Lux and the Puffy Royal both come in a hybrid model which includes a base layer of steel coils similar to those found in innerspring mattresses for added bounce and breathability.
Overall, Puffy is a great mattress company that strives to do right by their customers. That’s why they offer a 101-night sleep trial where you can test out your mattress and if it’s not for you, Puffy will send a service for pick up, and they will bring it to a local charity in your area. Best of all, Puffy offers a lifetime mattress warranty. But what exactly does that mean? Let’s dig into it.
Here are the basics: the Puffy Lifetime warranty applies to all Puffy mattresses, regardless of size or model, one of the best mattress warranties you can find. All Puffy mattresses are covered by the same warranty.
The Puffy lifetime warranty is a great warranty for protecting a new mattress investment. Like with all warranties, you have to be careful to read the fine print, which we’ll do our best to explain in plain language in this article. In general, the Puffy lifetime warranty is a generous deal for the customer, and we’ll explain why in the next few sections.
So the Puffy mattress warranty says it’s a “lifetime” warranty, but what constitutes a lifetime? As long as the original purchaser of the mattress still owns it, the warranty still applies in full. According to Puffy’s warranty page, “For the entire lifespan of your Puffy™ Mattress, we will replace your bed with a brand new Puffy™ Mattress free of charge.”
This means even if you’ve had the mattress 50 years, as long as you are the original owner and you haven’t voided the warranty, Puffy will provide you with a brand new mattress any time there is an issue that is covered.
Over time, the memory foam layers in memory foam mattresses stop bouncing back quite as well as they did when the mattress was brand new, and very small, shallow body impressions may start to form. These indentations are considered normal, but it’s not normal if those impressions become progressively deeper. Specifically, Puffy covers all impressions deeper than 1.5 inches.
Every Puffy mattress comes with a zipped mattress cover. If your mattress arrives and the zipper is already defective, it is 100% covered by this warranty. If the zipper breaks during normal usage, it may be covered, but there’s also a chance Puffy will claim this is the result of “improper or overuse of zipper,” which the warranty does not cover.
If you receive your Puffy mattress and notice that the cover is damaged in some way, it may be covered by the warranty. The language specifically protects against tears and unraveling stitches, “that does not result from improper use.”
If you buy a Puffy mattress and realize that you’re waking up with more aches and pains than you were with your old mattress, you cannot use your warranty to get a refund or a different Puffy mattress. The warranty does not cover comfort preferences, and back pain (and other types of pains) falls under that category.Use the general trial period to find out if your Puffy mattress fits your sleep needs! In those first 101 days after your purchase, pay close attention to whether this is a comfortable mattress for you, finding comfort in your primary sleeping position or relieving pressure where you find it builds up. Ask yourself these questions in those first few weeks:
If the answer to any of these questions is no, be sure to file a return request before the 101-night trial is over.
Unfortunately, this scenario (and others like it) are not covered by your lifetime warranty. Even if it’s a total accident, any damage to the memory foam caused by you (or your pets) is explicitly not covered according to the Puffy warranty.
Bed-in-box mattresses come with one major downside: off-gassing. This is the process where the mattress releases chemicals that are harmless, except for the smell. The smell may cause headaches or even dizziness, but off-gassing is considered a normal part of purchasing a bed-in-a-box model, and it is not covered by the warranty, even if it lingers longer than a couple of days. However, you could return it for a refund as long as it’s within the 101-night sleep trial period.
Did your mattress arrive, start expanding out of the box, only for you to realize it isn’t quite the right shade of gray and white? Is the quilted pattern a little lopsided? These are considered “minor imperfections” and “slight cosmetic flaws,” and they are not covered by the Puffy warranty. Don’t worry though, you can cover up those issues with the right sheet set.
Overall, the Puffy warranty is one of the best in the industry right now. While some accidents may not be covered, the lifetime warranty and 101 night trial period give you time to adjust to your mattress and decide if it’s for you. Many other “lifetime” warranties actually have a time limit where they stop applying, or they only cover very specific circumstances. Puffy will completely replace your mattress any time there is an issue covered by the warranty, whether it’s 1 year after purchase, or 50. But still, no mattress company is perfect.
