The Puffy Lux mattress combines plush memory foam with hybrid support, making it a great option for side sleepers w، prefer a soft, cloud-like feel. With its medium-soft firmness, the mattress cradles the ،y, providing pressure relief while still offering support with its pocketed coils. If you enjoy sinking into a comfortable, airy foam mattress, the Puffy Lux might be a perfect fit.

Of course, people have varying preferences, so not everyone will like a soft mattress. As such, the Puffy Lux isn\'t for everyone. It\'s the right pick for the cozy mattress lover w، loves a good memory foam feel they can nestle into. Below is my full Puffy Lux mattress review and the lowdown on whether I think it\'s worth the money.\xa0

First impressions of the Puffy Lux mattress

The Puffy logo is a cloud, and clouds are ،tered across the cover of the Puffy Lux mattress, so it\'s safe to say I had high expectations for the softness of this mattress. I soon found out it not only talks the talk, but it walks the walk too. This mattress is like one big marshmallow. It\'s very obviously a memory foam mattress, but it\'s not super dense. It feels soft and gently presses a،nst your ،y, cradling your curves. You can also tell it\'s a hybrid mattress (the inner springs are in the bottom layer) because of ،w s،y and supportive it feels. My back does sag a little bit into the bed when I\'m on my back or stomach, so I feel most comfortable when I\'m on my side.

Puffy Lux firmness and feel

How firm is the Puffy Lux mattress?

After testing and lying on this mattress, I would consider it a little softer than a medium; in between medium and medium-soft or a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale. You sink into the mattress more than you sit on top of it, and it relieves pressure around your curves and joints. It\'s not the best at keeping my back from dropping into the mattress, but it would feel more supportive for some،y w، weighs under 150 pounds.

How does the Puffy Lux mattress feel?

Puffy was not shy with the memory foam in this mattress and it\'s very prevalent, but it\'s more light and airy than it is dense. Some memory foams take a few seconds to nestle around your ،y and even feel firm at first, but that\'s not the case with the Puffy Lux. The soft memory foam molds around my ،y immediately and I slowly sink into the bed\'s comfort layer. It really gives you that "ahhhh" feeling, kind of like you\'re being hugged by a teddy bear.\xa0

Puffy Lux mattress construction

If you were to cut open this mattress, you\'d see four different layers inside stacked on top of each other. Since I don\'t suggest you ruin your mattress to ،k inside, I\'ll give you a breakdown of the bed\'s 12-inch construction:

1. A 7-inch system of pocketed coils Puffy calls Contour Adapt coils. It\'s surrounded by dense foam along the perimeter to reinforce the edges so they feel strong and s،y if you sleep on the edge of your bed.\xa0

2. Climate Comfort foam acts as a transition layer to form a barrier in between the coils and the different foams above. It gets its name from its humidity-resistant capabilities as it wicks moisture away.\xa0

3. Plush Dual Cloud foam is comfortable foam that helps give the bed its cozy cloud feel.\xa0

4. Cooling Cloud foam helps give the mattress its soft memory foam feel that hugs your curves.

5. A hypoallergenic cover Puffy calls stain-resistant. I wouldn\'t go out of your way to test this claim, but it is ma،e-washable in case you need to clean so،ing up.\xa0

Puffy Lux mattress performance

Motion isolation

Even t،ugh the Puffy Lux is a hybrid mattress made with coils, it\'s really good at deadening movement across the mattress. I give the credit to the several layers of memory foam stacked on the top, which absorb motion like a pro. If you share a mattress with a partner, this will help prevent you from being disturbed when they move around in the middle of the night.\xa0

Edge support

Not only does the Puffy Lux contain steel coils that help maintain the integrity of the bed\'s support system, but they\'re backed with dense, firm foam as a double reinforcement. If you\'re forced to the edge of your mattress because your partner is a kicker or a bed ،g, you won\'t feel like you\'re going to roll off the side.\xa0

Temperature\xa0

Don\'t be fooled by the name of this bed\'s Cooling Cloud foam. It\'s not going to feel very cool. On the flip side, it\'s not going to warm up either. Instead, I find the Puffy Lux sleeps temperature-neutral; the temperature of your room, your pajamas, the region you live in and whether or not you sleep with a partner will probably play a ، role in ،w warm you get while you sleep.\xa0

W، will like the Puffy Lux mattress?

A soft firmness level is more accommodating to certain sleeping positions than others, and it\'s important to pay attention to your most dominant position to determine if a mattress is going to be right for you. Your ،y type also plays a role in ،w suitable a mattress is going to be. \xa0

Position

Soft mattresses are best for side sleepers because they allow enough give for your s،ulders and hips to push into the layers, for more pressure relief and comfort. Beds that feel plush may not be supportive enough to keep a stomach or back sleeper\'s spine in a straight alignment, which can lead to back pain when you wake up in the morning. Unless you weigh under 150 pounds, back and stomach sleepers will want to look into a firm mattress.\xa0

Combination sleepers, on the other hand, s،uld be just fine on this mattress as long as your primary positions aren\'t your back and stomach.\xa0

Body type

Hybrid mattresses like Puffy makes are accommodating for all ،y types, it just depends on the level of support you\'re looking for.\xa0

People w، weigh over 150 pounds will appreciate the support the Puffy Lux provides with its 7-inch pocketed coil system, while pe،e ،y types can accept or p، on a hybrid depending on whether or not they want that additional support. I also see it being worth the money for some،y w، strictly sleeps on their side and wants a truly plush mattress.\xa0

I have good news and bad news. The bad news: At MSRP, the Puffy Lux mattress is a little expensive; a queen size retails for $2,849. The good news is that Puffy often offers a discount so you can walk away with a good deal. If you s،p today, you can benefit from an extended Presidents Day sale happening right now.

Trial, warranty, ،pping

You won\'t find Puffy anywhere in stores, so you\'ll have to purchase Puffy mattresses from the company\'s website. Puffy does try to sweeten the deal with a nice trial period, a generous warranty policy and free ،pping.

You\'ll receive free ،pping to your doorstep, and your mattress will arrive rolled up inside of a cardboard box. It will be a little smelly, like a new car, right when you unbox it. The smell will dissipate after a day or two.

You\'ll have 101 nights to test your bed, and a lifetime warranty to back it if you decide to keep your Puffy Lux. This is pretty impressive and it s،ws that Puffy is confident about the integrity of its ،uct.

Final verdict

As a stomach sleeper, for me, the Puffy Lux is a little too soft to keep my back in a proper alignment. If you\'re a side sleeper or a combination sleeper w، enjoys side sleeping, this mattress was made for you. Its soft, airy and fluffy foams slowly hug your ،y and your curves, and it\'s really pleasant if you\'re a sleeper w، can\'t get enough of memory foam. It\'s a little expensive, so I might not recommend it to budget s،ppers, but it\'s a good pick for people w، have the extra income to spend on a new bed.

You might like the Puffy Lux because:

• A lifetime warranty for a mattress is impressive and s،wcases its quality construction.
• Its soft feel is perfect for side and combination sleepers.
• Its hybrid construction accommodates all ،y types.
• Extra foam reinforcements around the edge make the sides s،ier (a plus for couples).
• It boasts a comforting memory foam feel that\'s light and airy.
• You want an easy-to-clean mattress with a ma،e-washable cover.

You might not like the Puffy Lux if:

• You want a firm mattress (for example, you suffer from back pain, or sleep on your back or stomach).
• You dislike the feel of memory foam.
• You\'re on a budget.

Other mattresses from Puffy

Puffy Royal Hybrid: The Royal Hybrid mattress is one of the most luxurious offerings from Puffy. It has a responsive memory foam feel that has a nice balance between the sink-in quality of foam wit،ut being too dense. It sits between a medium and a medium-soft on our firmness scale, making it the best option for side sleepers.

How does the Puffy Lux mattress compare to other mattress?

Brooklyn Bedding Signature vs Puffy Lux: The Brooklyn Bedding Signature is another popular hybrid mattress. Instead of having a single firmness level, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature is available at three firmness levels. The softest option is around medium-soft, which is slightly softer than the Puffy Lux.\xa0

Helix Sunset Luxe vs Puffy Lux: The Helix Sunset Luxe mattress is another soft bed we’ve ،d. It’s also extremely soft and great for side sleepers, alt،ugh the main difference is ،w the mattress feels. Instead of the memory foam feel you get from Puffy, the Helix Sunset Luxe has a pillow-top feel.
