Puffy Mattress Review
All-Foam Original Mattress
The mattress is 10-inch tall and has five layers of memory foam. This is an all-foam mattress with a typical construction for this kind of product. The mattress doesn’t give a dense sinking feeling that a lot of foam mattresses do but it gives a contouring and pressure relief effect.
Construction
On top, there’s a soft breathable cover. Next goes the mattress construction itself: the first layer is a 2-inch memory cloud foam which is cooling and quite responsive while being slow-moving.
The next layer is a transition foam which also will be helpful for cooling. Below is the layer of the support foam.
Here is the breakdown of layers (from top to the bottom):
- Stain-resistant cover that can be removed and washed
- 2 inches of breathable foam with cooling gel
- 2 inches of humidity-resistance foam
- 6 inches of high-density foam for stability and support
- Grip base cover to prevent the mattress from sliding
The construction is quite simple, there are no coils so it is not very supportive. Thus, it might not work for larger sleepers.
Feel
All in all, it is a very responsive mattress with a mixed soft-foam feel. It’s similar to both, memory and neutral-foam mattresses. If you’re a sleeper who rotates between sleeping positions, you won’t get stuck in the Puffy mattress.
Firmness
Puffy Mattress is firmer than an average all-foam mattress, but it’s still more of the medium on the firmness scale.
Sleeping Positions
- For the back sleepers, it provides enough support and decent contouring.
- Side sleepers might feel some pressure on their shoulders and hips, especially it’s true for larger people.
- Stomach sleepers might not find this mattress very comfortable as hips and shoulders get quite deep into the mattress.
Price
The price starts from $1,449 for the twin size and goes up to $1,999 for the cal king.
Puffy Lux Mattress
Hybrid Mattress
This mattress is 12-inches tall and has six layers of memory foam including a layer of coils. This mattress is very similar to an original Puffy mattress but what differentiates Puffy Lux Mattress is the coils. Moreover, the mattress has an additional layer of pressure-relieving foam for those who have back pain.
Construction
Here are all the layers of the Puffy Lux mattress:
- Stain-resistant cover and can be removed and washed
- 1.5 inches of breathable foam with cooling gel
- [Only in Puffy Lux] 1.5 inches of pressure-relieving foam (Plush Dual Cloud Foam)
- 2 inches of humidity-resistance foam
- [Only in Puffy Lux] 7 inches of high-density foam with pocketed coils
- Grip base cover to prevent the mattress from sliding
Firmness
Puffy Lux Mattress is less firm than the original one. Its firmness is between medium soft to medium.
Feel
Puffy Lux Mattress provides a medium-plush feel, and an extra layer makes it also softer than the original mattress. This mattress allows sinking into it more than the original one.
Sleeping positions
The mattress is good for side sleepers and also for combo sleepers who change positions a lot during sleep. With its layer of coils, it’s also a good match for back sleepers. However, it’s not the best option for stomach sleepers as it lacks firmness.
Price
The price starts from $1,899 for the twin size and goes up to $2,449 for the cal king.
Puffy Royal Mattress
Hybrid Mattress
The construction and feel of this mattress are similar to the other two by Puffy. This mattress is taller (14 inches) and has 7 layers. It has an additional cloud foam layer above the dense support foam.
Construction

- Stain-resistant cover and can be removed and washed
- 1.5 inches of infused cooling foam with cooling gel
- 1.5 inches of reflexive memory foam
- [Only in Puffy Royal] 2 inches of Cloud Air Technology Foam
- 7 inches of high-density foam with a contour-adapt coil base

Price
The price starts from $2,099 for the twin size and goes up to $3,449 for the cal king.
Additional information about Puffy mattresses
Motion Transfer
The mattress absorbs quite a bit of the motion which means your partner should not feel your moves during the nighttime.
Edge support
The edge support is pretty decent. When lying down on the edge, you don’t feel like you’re going to roll off or fall off. Meanwhile, you might still feel it when sitting on the edge. So, the edge may sink a bit when getting on and off, but there’s decent reinforcement.
Durability
A great feature of all Puffy mattresses is a water-resisting cover that helps them last longer. It is a good option for those who have kids or pets and also for apartments for rent.
The materials seem quite durable being able to last at least 5 years.
