⭐Total Score for the Puffy Mattress: 9/10⭐

Testing Highlights

✅ Pros

• Puffy offers the most generous mattress warranty possible: a lifetime warranty. This means the entire time you own Puffy, your purchase is covered.
• Motion Transfer: This memory foam bed has great motion isolation and scored a 9.25 out of 10 in our motion transfer test, meaning couples can move around without waking their sleep partner.
• Edge Support: Thanks to Puffy’s firmness and the support foam layer, this mattress offers great edge support, perfect for people who sleep on the edge of the bed.
• Responsiveness: Memory foam mattresses are known more for sinkage and less for responsiveness, but Puffy is different. It scored almost perfectly in responsiveness, meaning it adapts to your movements at night without waking you.

❌ Cons

• You may notice that the Puffy mattress has a slight off-gassing smell when you unbox it. This is normal with memory foam and should go away in a few hours.
• Though it has a layer of Cooling Cloud Foam, this memory foam mattress can still sleep hot.

Behind the Scenes

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 as the wine barely moves inside the glass.

For our edge support test, we sat on the dged 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 look or 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.

A Deeper Dive into Puffy’s Feel

Now we’ll give you all the nitty gritty details you would want to know about the Puffy mattress. This information can help you decide if this mattress is really right for you.

Puffy’s Firmness

The Puffy mattress falls at about a 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale. This classifies Puffy as a firm mattress, great for both back and stomach sleepers. However, the foam is soft enough for side sleepers to feel comfortable as well.

Do Your Sleeping Position and Puffy Match?

Puffy works for all sleep positions. Side sleepers get to keep their spines straight and the pressure is relieved from the hips and shoulders. Stomach sleepers and back sleepers will enjoy the firmness level because it helps with their alignment, and combination sleepers can toss and turn without waking thanks to Puffy’s responsiveness.

Does Puffy Keep You Hot or Cold?

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. However, it will not be as cooling as a latex mattress or innerspring bed.

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.

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 three proprietary memory foam layers and is wrapped in a stain-resistant mattress cover:

What Do Customers Think?

If you don’t want to take our word for it, see what real-life customers have to say about their Puffy mattress.

“Was nervous about buying a mattress without testing it out first. But glad I decided to give it a shot. It’s so much more comfortable than my spring mattress. Felt weird at first because has a different feel than spring mattress. But I sleep better and it’s just comfy. I’m a fluffy guy and I don’t overheat with it. Breaths pretty good I think.” – Michael M.

“I love this bed. I have a couple blown discs and sciatica so sleeping was always uncomfortable, no matter the position. Now I sleep and rarely move – I wake up with pillow creases in my face – so I know I’m not rolling around like I used to!! LOL I’d recommend this bed to anyone who suffers from hip or back pain – for sure. Love my Puffy!” – Eileen M.

“Overall the mattress is an excellent mattress. Very comfortable. Setup was a breeze. Degassing of minimal odor was completed in 3 days. Would recommend the mattress to anyone looking for a reasonably priced mattress that offers excellent comfort.” – Andrew D.

Is the Puffy Mattress for You?

After our thorough testing and research, we’ve found the Puffy to work best for side sleepers, co-sleepers, and older people who have aches and pains. You have tons of time to sleep on this bed and make a final decision, and when you do, you’ve got a lifetime warranty ahead of you.

You might not gel with the Puffy mattress if you sleep hot or are prone to night sweats. Or if you’re really into a mattress that will let you sink all the way in. If you fall into these categories, we think you’re better suited for the GhostBed Luxe. This bed is known to be cooling and falls right in the middle of the firmness scale.
