Introduction

I brought Puffy into my own bedroom because shoppers kept asking the same question in the store. Is this the soft memory foam bed that relieves pressure without running hot or collapsing at the hips. The promise sounded simple. Real nights tell the truth, so I slept on the lineup: Cloud for a month, Lux Hybrid for two weeks, Royal Hybrid for another week, switching frames and bedding to see what actually changes.

The notes below are field-tested. No hype, no jargon. If you like quiet nights, shoulder relief, and a washable cover, keep reading. If you want springy lift and a firmer edge for sitting, I’ll show where the hybrids win.

Design and construction

Cloud uses a three layer all foam stack. The top is a gel blended comfort foam that spreads pressure without sticky lag. A transition foam adds lift so you do not sink too far. The base is a dense core that keeps posture steady. The knit cover is zip off and washable. Simple, practical, and it matters in real homes with pets and kids.

  • Profile ten inches
  • Trial one hundred one nights
  • Warranty lifetime
  • Made in the United States with CertiPUR US foams

Comfort and performance

Pressure relief and posture

Night three is where my shoulder finally relaxed. On side, the surface gives just enough under the top of the arm without pinching. Hips never felt swallowed. The transition layer quietly carries the load so you land in a calm cradle instead of a hole. Back sleeping felt steady through the lower spine. Stomach sleeping was fine for short naps but not my pick for a full night unless you are very light.

Temperature and airflow

Set the room to seventy. No fan. Cotton sheet. Surface rise across eight hours stayed around three to four degrees Fahrenheit, which is neutral for an all foam bed. If you run warm, the hybrids breathe more because of the coil base, but Cloud does not trap heat like the old memory foam stereotype.

Motion and edge use

Motion transfer is quiet. Turning does not ripple to the other side, which matters for light sleepers. Edge support is average for foam. Sitting to tie shoes will compress the border. Sleeping near the edge felt stable.

Adjustable base and bundles

I tested Cloud and Lux on a zero clearance adjustable base to see if contour and support changed under elevation. Head up positions did not collapse the lumbar. Under foot raise, pressure spread evenly across calves and knees. If you watch shows or read in bed, this setup makes the Cloud feel like a more expensive model because the base adds lift without hard spots.

  • Zero clearance fit works inside most frames
  • Wall-hug glide is helpful in tight rooms
  • Under bed lighting matters more than you think at 2 AM

Brand detail. The washable knit is a real world win.

Bedding bundles are seasonal. When the promo includes pillows and a protector, it rounds out the value. The Cloud’s zip cover is washable, but I still recommend a thin protector to keep the knit clean and maintain feel.

Competitor comparisons

Several mattresses sit in the same decision set. Here is how they actually feel in practice.

If you want the classic memory contour with less heat and easier movement, Cloud is the sweet spot. If airflow and a floating feel are top priority, Purple wins. If you want a deep slow hug and a long trial at a lower price, Nectar is the value play. If you like a traditional spring feel with a firm edge for sitting, Saatva Classic lands the plane.

Customer experience

Delivery and setup

Shipping arrived on time. The box survived the trip. Expansion was quick with a faint new foam scent that cleared by morning. The bed is quiet in use. Rotating it every quarter keeps surface wear even.

Policies and support

The trial is one hundred one nights with an easy return process. The warranty covers visible sag beyond one and a half inches and foam defects for the life of the product. Chat response was quick when I asked spec questions and they followed up, which builds trust.

Living with it: small details that add up

The first week was an exercise in unlearning. I expected the usual memory foam arc — warm at two in the morning, slow to rebound at four, and a bit of a dip by day ten. Cloud stayed neutral and bounced back each morning. By day six, the notes in my phone shifted from technical to simple words. Calm. Predictable. Forgiving. When a bed fades into the background, sleep gets easier.

Shoulder comfort was the standout. The surface lets the joint sink just far enough without tipping the chest forward. That is the pattern I watch for with side sleepers who report numb hands or a sore top arm. Cloud met the mark night after night. When I swapped back to a hybrid for contrast, I missed that quiet give under the shoulder blade.

I tested on a platform frame and on slats. Platform felt a touch firmer and flatter. Slats added a hint of bounce. The mattress did not change personality, which tells me the internal structure is doing the real work. That consistency is what I want for readers who are not rebuilding the bedroom around a new bed.

After four weeks, there were no sink holes, no stubborn impressions, and no fabric pilling. The zip cover washed on cool and air dried without drama. It zipped back on without the wrestling match I have had with other brands. Small win, real life impact.

FAQ

Is Cloud good for side sleepers

Yes. The top foam spreads pressure at the shoulder and hip which reduces numbness and hotspots.

Does it sleep hot

It runs neutral in most rooms. If you run warm, Lux Hybrid and Royal Hybrid breathe more due to coil bases.

What is the trial and warranty

Trial is one hundred one nights. Warranty runs for the life of the mattress and covers visible sag beyond one and a half inches.

What base works best

Platform frames, closely spaced slats, adjustable bases, or a solid foundation all work. Avoid soft box springs.

Is white glove delivery available

Standard shipping is free. Some regions offer in home setup for a fee at checkout.

Verdict

Cloud is for sleepers who want a soft welcome with a steady base. Side and combo sleepers will feel at home. Light to average back sleepers will enjoy the calm support. If you want more airflow and a firmer edge for sitting, Lux Hybrid is the move. If you want a deeper plush ride and do not mind the higher price, Royal Hybrid is the indulgent choice. Either way, the washable cover, simple setup, and consistent feel make Puffy easy to recommend.
