Compare Mattress Structure

When it comes to construction, these two mattresses are nowhere near the same. The Saatva Classic is a hybrid mattress, consisting of foam layers and an innerspring system, while the Puffy Cloud is an all-foam mattress.

Saatva’s Classic mattress consists of five premium foam and coil layers to provide optimal comfort and support. As a luxury mattress, it has a hotel-style feel that will leave you feeling like every day is a vacation. This starts with the Saatva’s European-style plush pillow top which will give a cushiony feel. The Saatva Classic also comes with three different firmness options and two heights so you can take full control of how your bed feels. If you prefer a soft feel, select the plush soft comfort level. Those wanting more support can go with the firm level and people in between comfort preferences can settle on the luxury firm, which has a medium-firm feel.

At a slightly shorter stature, the Puffy Cloud Mattress is made up of three foam layers, two of which are a proprietary blend. It comes at a medium-firm firmness level, making it great for all sleeping positions. Unlike most memory foam mattresses, you won’t feel trapped on this bed.

Those preferring a firm, supportive mattress will love the Saatva Classic’s firm and luxury-firm options. If you want a softer mattress, go with the Saatva Classic’s plush soft option. However, those who already own a memory foam mattress may prefer the Puffy Cloud Mattress since it has a traditional memory foam feel and doesn’t require getting used to any new materials.

Take a closer look at the layers making up the Saatva Classic and Puffy Cloud Mattress below.

Check out some factors that set these two mattresses apart.

Spinal Alignment

Having a mattress that keeps your spine in a neutral position is important so you can wake up free of aches and pains. The Saatva Classic knocked this out of the park, earning a perfect 10/10 score, with the Puffy Mattress not too far behind. Saatva does a good job of providing lumbar support so you don’t have to worry about slouching in your sleep. Having high scores in spinal alignment makes both mattresses an ideal option for back sleepers who especially need spinal alignment. It also makes it a solid choice for those with back pain.

Edge Support

Another area where the Saatva Classic outperformed the Puffy Cloud Mattress was in our edge support. This looks at how well a mattress holds our testers when they sit and lay on the edge. During our evaluation, our testers noticed minimal dipping and they felt fully supported. The Saatva Classic is an excellent choice for those that use their bed to get ready in the morning or need help getting in bed.

Cooling

Both the Saatva Classic and Puffy Cloud mattresses did a great job of maintaining a comfortable temperature. The Saatva Classic did slightly better thanks to its hybrid build. If you are someone who sleeps hot, you may want to steer clear of memory foam mattresses like the Puffy Cloud since these tend to trap heat.

Which Is the Best Mattress for You?

With near-identical Mattress Advisor scores, both of these mattresses would be great choices. However, since they have different construction, they may appeal to different types of people. Ultimately, the best mattress matches your sleep position, sleep environment, budget, and ideal customer experience.

Sleeping Position

As you pick which mattress works best for you, consider your sleep position and whether the mattress offers the right pressure relief and firmness for your style. Since the Saatva Classic comes in three different firmness options and two different heights, it works with all sleeping positions.

The Puffy Cloud is a solid choice for side, back, and combination sleepers. However, if you like to sleep on your stomach, the Saatva Classic may be a better choice since the Puffy doesn’t lift your hips up properly.

Sleep Environment

If you tend to sleep hot, you know how important it is to find a mattress that promotes breathability. Both mattresses scored pretty high in our cooling evaluation, but the Saatva Classic earned a full point more thanks to its innerspring construction. Memory foam mattresses typically sleep hotter than hybrids, however, the Puffy uses a Climate Comfort™ foam for better temperature regulation.

Those that sleep with a partner, child, or pet will want a mattress with great motion isolation. Both mattresses scored pretty average in this area. Saatva Classic’s innersprings make it difficult to isolate motion as well. If you want a better mattress for isolating motion, consider one of our best for couples mattresses.

Budget

Both the Saatva Classic and Puffy Cloud come with similar price tags. If you are searching for a smaller size, the Saatva is the more affordable option but as the sizes go up, Puffy is the more affordable option. Saatva offers financing options through Affirm and Puffy offers it through Klarna.

Customer Service

When purchasing a mattress, you may want to consider what the buying experience is like with each company. Since Saatva and Puffy are both bed-in-box online companies, they offer sleep trials with their mattresses to give customers a chance to try them out. Puffy’s sleep trial is 101 days, whereas Saatva offers an extra 264 days.

These companies also offer generous warranties so you know you are protected for the duration of owning your mattress. Both Puffy and Saatva provide a lifetime warranty. Since it’s recommended to upgrade your mattress every 6-10 years, you’re covered for more than enough time with both these companies. Plus, Saatva offers free white-glove delivery so you don’t have to worry about setting up your new mattress or removing your old one from your residence.
