Testing Highlights

✅ Pros

• Warranty: Puffy provides a lifetime warranty for your mattress, which means your Puffy purchase is protected for the entirety of ownership.
• Edge Support: Thanks to Puffy’s firmness and the support foam layer, this mattress offers great edge support for a memory foam mattress.
• Spine Alignment: Scoring a near-perfect score for spinal alignment, this is a bed that will help you have good posture during the night.

❌ Cons: Puffy Mattress Complaints

• “New Mattress” Smell: You may notice that the Puffy mattress has a slight off-gassing odor when you unbox it. This is normal with a memory foam mattress. Ventilate the room by opening the windows and turning on a fan; the smell should go away within a few hours.
• Sagging Issues: Some customers found the Puffy mattress sags from the soft and cradling comfort layer. A firmer foam mattress like the Casper Original may not sag under a sleeper’s weight, because it’s built with denser foams.
• Getting in Touch by Email: If you find it difficult to contact a representative from Puffy through email, we recommend calling customer service directly at (800) 430-8380.

Putting Puffy to the Test

In our motion transfer test, we placed a glass of wine on one side of the bed and had one of our testers move around on the other side. As you can see, Puffy has great motion isolation—the wine barely moves inside the glass.

For our edge support test, we sat on the edge of the bed to tie our shoes. Notice how the Puffy slightly dips under the weight of our tester, but still supports her enough so she doesn’t feel as if she’s falling off of the bed. This feature is great for those with mobility issues or people who sleep on the edge of the bed.

Puffy Mattress Performance

Firmness

The Puffy mattress lands at a 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale. As a slightly firmer than average mattress, it does not have the sinking sand feeling of a Tempur-Pedic but won’t lift the sleeper up like an innerspring mattress with coils.

Does Puffy Match Your Sleeping Position?

The Puffy mattress can work for most sleeping positions, ideally those who need the cradling contour of a pressure relief layer.

• Side Sleepers: As one of the best mattresses for side sleepers, the all-foam Puffy will work well for average weight side sleepers under 230 lbs.
• Stomach Sleepers: It’s not among the best mattresses for stomach sleepers. The cradling of the Puffy is great for pressure relief but not so much for stomach sleepers, who need to be lifted on top of the mattress.
• Back Sleepers: Puffy is a good-but-not-great mattress for back sleepers. Back sleepers will sink into the foam layers enough for pressure relief around their hips and solid spine alignment.
• Combination Sleepers: Puffy’s responsiveness makes it easy for combination sleepers to change positions, with pressure relief in each one. For those sleepers who don’t spend much time on their stomach, we think the Puffy provides a balanced feel.

Motion Isolation

Memory foam mattresses are known for having excellent motion isolation properties. The Puffy Mattress lives up to this expectation. When weight is applied to the Puffy Mattress at varying levels, it excels at isolation motion.

If you sleep with a partner or with a pet, chances are you won’t disrupt one another if you toss and turn throughout the night.

Edge Support

Edge support refers to a mattress’s ability to support you when you sleep close to its edges.

Few all-foam mattresses score well in the area of edge support, however, the Puffy provides average edge support for sleepers. If you’re looking for a mattress with reinforced edges, the Puffy may not be for you, but it does outperform other foam mattresses.

Does Puffy Sleep Hot or Cool?

While memory foam mattresses have a reputation for sleeping hot, the Puffy mattress is made with a top layer of gel memory foam that promotes airflow and keeps body heat at bay. Although Puffy maintains a cooling temperature, it won’t sleep as cool as some latex, innerspring, or hybrid mattresses.

Is the Puffy Mattress Good for Couples?

Due to its ability to isolate movements, the Puffy Mattress is a great mattress for couples. Additionally, because it is a cooling memory foam mattress, it will prevent you and your partner from overheating during the night.

Body Type Support

The Puffy mattress can hold up to 350 lbs per sleeper on a queen-size, meaning it can hold 700 lbs in total. This is enough to support most types of sleepers. However, we found some heavyweight sleepers do not receive the supportive pressure relief they may need. For especially heavier stomach sleepers, we recommend an innerspring mattress with coils, which will help to elevate the hips and balance the body weight.

Foundation Compatibility

Puffy is designed to work with any frame, foundation, or box spring. The sturdier the foundation, the better it will support your mattress.

Puffy Mattress Materials

The Puffy mattress is made of two proprietary memory foam layers and is wrapped in a stain-resistant mattress cover:

Ease of Set-Up

It took us exactly one minute and 16 seconds to unbox the Puffy mattress. This mattress was very light and easy to maneuver. As soon as we opened the packaging, the Puffy took its full shape immediately. It had a mild scent once opened, but this went away within an hour.

For our set-up test, the Puffy received an awesome score of 9.5 out of 10. See the video below to check out the unboxing process.

Puffy Mattress Comparisons

Puffy vs. Nectar

Criteria	Puffy	Nectar
Mattress Advisor Score	9/10	8.7/10
Firmness	Medium-Firm: 7/10	Medium-Firm: 6.5/10
Material	Memory Foam	Gel Memory Foam
Who’s It Best For?	Side sleepers Lightweight sleepers Couples	Indecisive shoppers (has a longer trial period) Those looking to save some money Those looking for pressure relief

Both the Puffy and Nectar mattresses are constructed of memory foam and have a medium-firm feel, though we think the Puffy is slightly firmer than the Nectar. The Puffy performed better on both our motion transfer and responsiveness tests, making it a better option for couples because it is easier to move around on without your partner feeling your movement. With its softer feel and contouring memory foam, the Nectar performed slightly better in pressure relief.

If you don’t want to spend too much money on a mattress, the Nectar is a cheaper option. Both companies tend to run regular promotions, so be sure to check back around the holidays or look into our money-saving coupons.

Puffy vs. Purple

Criteria	Puffy	Purple
Mattress Advisor Score	9/10	8.4/10
Firmness	Medium-Firm: 7/10	Medium-Firm: 6.5/10
Material	Memory Foam	Hybrid: Hyper-elastic GelFlex Grid and foam
Who’s It Best For?	Side sleepers Lightweight sleepers Couples	Back sleepers Those with back pain Those looking for a durable mattress

The primary difference between the Puffy and the Purple mattresses comes from their constructions. The Purple mattress contains a hybrid construction of a hyper-elastic polymer (called the GelFlex Grid) and high-density foam, while the Puffy is a traditional memory foam mattress. The squishiness of the Purple Grid combined with the support from the high-density foam makes the Purple a long-lasting mattress that provides pressure relief to those with back pain. The Puffy, on the other hand, is made of three layers of foam, and with its top performance in responsiveness and pressure relief, it’s a great match for couples and side sleepers. The Puffy is a bit more prone to sagging over time, so heavier-weight sleepers may prefer to opt for the Purple mattress due to its stronger durability.

Is the Puffy Mattress Right for You?

After extensive testing and research, we’ve found the Puffy to work best for side sleepers, co-sleepers, and seniors who have aches and pains. The sleep trial gives you more than three months to sleep on this bed and make a final decision. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ve got a lifetime warranty ahead of you.

You might not want to choose the Puffy mattress if you sleep unusually hot. While the Puffy is slighter firmer than average, it features soft foam layers designed for pressure relief. If you really want to sink into your mattress but stay cool, we think you’re better suited for the GhostBed Luxe, a good cooling mattress that falls right in the middle of the firmness scale.

If you like the Puffy brand but aren’t sure if this particular mattress is the right one, you can compare Puffy mattress models.
