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
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.
| Category | Puffy Cloud | Purple | Nectar | Saatva Classic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feel | Medium cradle | Buoyant grid | Deep memory hug | Responsive innerspring |
| Best for | Side and combo | Hot sleepers and tossers | Side sleepers on a budget | Back and stomach, classic feel |
| Airflow | Neutral | Very high | Moderate | High |
| Motion isolation | Excellent | Very good | Excellent | Good |
| Edge support | Average | Average to good | Average | Strong |
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.

Looking forward to reading an in-depth review of this mattress.
ME TOO!!! I really want to see how it compares to the others. I’m in desperate need of a new mattress and really want to know how Puffy compares. Haven’t had a good nights sleep in months, have back, hip & joint issues! i’m also generally cold, but suffer from hot flashes/night sweats….so really don’t know which way to turn. Sleeping on a coil for years now with a memory foam topper. Used to have a temperpedic 10 or 15 years ago that was okay, but too hard (and probably too hot, lol). Thinking it may come down to the Puffy or Nectar….but need that Puffy review!!!!!!!
Nectar gives you a ship date, then moves it up by about a week, so I cancelled my order. I have a puffy now, but after the first night my lower back hurt. I don’t know if this is due to lack of support or if my body is just getting used to the mattress
Well, it took me a little over a week to adjust to the Puffy. After 2 months I can say that I actually look forward to sleeping on it every night. The rest I get on this mattress I have yet to get anywhere else, even when my husband and I travel to top hotels. We certainly appreciate this mattress.
I thought that there is no mattress in the world I would be 100% satisfied with due to back pain and sleep problems until PUFFY!!!! What!? A really awesome surprise and I feel bad for anyone that does not have a PUFFY. My husband and I never want to get out of bed and look forward to going to bed and he has medical issues also….falling off a second story building is no joke, the PUFFY has him going “AAAHH< SWEET". Best money we spent was on PUFFY
I agree with the need for a review of the Puffy (versus the Nectar). I’m looking at both but finding it difficult to discern which would be the better mattress for me. I sleep very hot and frequently wake up with sore hips. I sleep mostly on my side or back. Please do us all a favor and do a Puffy review so we can make the right mattress choice. Thanks
The PUFFY is excellent for back and side sleepers. Very comfortable!
A little on the firm side, but still soft.
Excellent purchase!
I sleep on my side, been the best thing ever for me.
I have a Nectar and I can tell you that I am getting a refund less than a year after purchasing it, there is a deep hump in the middle and it has softened so much that my back and neck hurt all the time. I am thinking about this Puffy mattress.
Description of firmness seems at odds with the Puffy literature and grading as well as almost all the reviews I’ve read. Evaluation was pretty abstract from the language you used to describe the product. Have you ever slept on it?
I’m surprised by the reviewer claiming puffy to be on the soft side. I’ve found it to be very firm and uncomfortable. I’m a side sleeper and my shoulder hurts after sleeping on this mattress. Company said mattress is firmer in cold weather, softer in warm. It’s being returned,,
Puffy is on the softer side for both my husband and I
i am also a side sleeper. I have the regular Puffy Lux and it feels not so soft and not too firm. I also sleep on my side and it keeps my hip and shoulder comfortably into place. this way I don’t wake up over and over at night.
Bought a Puffy Lux and my wife and I love it. 14 years on a sleep number and did not realize that we could be so much more comfortable when sleeping. I sleep on my side and The Puffy just conforms to all my angles. Wake up refreshed and rested. Wasted my time on the Sleep Number
Funny my husband and I switched from our old Sleep Number too. Puffy is the way to go. My husband says he could have bought a car for the amount of money we waisted on the Sleep Number.
I purchased the Puffy Lux 12” Mattress and tonight will be my third night sleeping on it. The only complaint I have so far is the border of the mattress is very soft, lacking the firmness of a nicely stitched border for better support when sitting on the side of the bed. Otherwise, the mattress is plush but not too much so and I have been sleeping very well and wake up feeling refreshed without my painful arthritic hips bothering me! After having slept on a top-of-the-line Sleep Number Bed for nearly 15 years, I am pleasantly surprised with the Puffy Lux! I highly recommend it!
I feel the same way with my Puffy mattress. I used to have a Tempur so I was think about getting another one until my friend suggested Puffy. I think I saved over $1500 by going with Puffy and my sleep quality is just as good if not better.
Surprisingly happy with this mattress. Delivery was perfect and the rest we get on it speaks volumes about the quality and comfort.
We love our Puffy mattress, it is a great mattress for the price. We keep wondering how the Puffy Lux would have felt like and compared but for now this one is great. My husband snores less and I never fell him moving around in bed.
It really is the best mattress we have had including the super expensive Sleep Number. Puffy is just feels amazing for our body. We have had it for a good year now so we wonder how well it will hold up after 2 or 3 years. They do have a very good warranty but still once must wonder.
Is the puffy king available in “firm” ? Also, what is the cost of the king and does it come with something like a box spring?what is the return policy?
It feels more like a medium firm but the back support is perfect. It doesn’t come with a box spring and our king size was $1195.
We would buy this mattress again and again. It basically solved my husbands back issue that he was dealing with for almost two years.
Got my mattress in July. Was hoping it would help with back pain, but to me it’s too soft. I would not say this is a medium firm mattress. I will probably have to get a refund and purchase the firm mattress, which I’ve never have had to purchase. Glad it works for some people.
Excellent mattress, I like the sleep and recovery my body is getting these last 3-4 weeks. I workout 5 times a week and needed a mattress that can put me deep asleep and that’s exactly what I’m getting now.
I feel the same, I also do pilates and this mattress helps my body quicker and stronger I feel like.
I’ve had the Puffy mattress for about 3 months and every night I look forward to getting in bed because it gives me a divine feeling that I’ve never had before. Takes me just minutes and I am Zzzzzzing all night til morning.
Ok, so we got our puffy matress. I opened the box and to our suprise it looked a little small for a king mattress. Turns out they sent us a queen. I called the customer service line and they said no problem you can keep that mattress and we will send you the correct one. First thought is “Damn really” and I proceeded to prep our third bedroom for its new bed. We received our king size puffy a couple days later and proceeded to air it out and let it take correct form. So it was a but firm after sleeping on it for a month or so. I called and explained the situation to the customer service people to see if there is anything else we could do and they said it may not be a perfect fit for everyone and stated they would give a full refund but we needed to donate the matress and send proof. I did donate to a local charity and sure enough after showing proof we got a full refund. This company fully stands behind there product and that is hard to find. The spare bed that we got at no cost we gave to my sister and she loves it. Hope this helps
Excellent purchase. Love the cover and the style. I can’t stay awake if I wanted to, because the bed has great contouring and puts me to sleep in just mins.
Beautiful mattress. Looks like it’s made with high quality material and foam.
Sounds great for side sleepers. Like that you can unzip & wash the cover
This sounds like an amazing mattress, very interesting. Thank you for this chance in winning one.
Seems like this would be the perfect mattress for my ailing body. I cannot sleep on my back and often find sleeping on one side or the other too long causes pain. I would love to sleep comfortable . I definitely have this on my shortlist for the near future.
I love the reviews on this puffy mattress, I sure could use this in my life. I have severe back issues, this sounds perfect thank you
This sounds like a good mattress. Can’t wait to try it!
I appreciate an in depth review like this that I can understand! First of all I like how the Puffy mattress can aid in my body recovering from when I’ve worked out too hard. I also love a softer mattress and that’s hard to get when you need support.
I do like a soft mattress so this sounds like it would be great for me. The fact that there is not much motion transfer is a plus since hubby tosses and turns a lot at night which can sometimes wake me up. My only concern is that it doesn’t really sleep cool but overall it sounds like a great mattress.
The cooling cloud has me intrigued. I’m all about pressure relief and cooling.
tHIS MATTRESS LOOKS SO VERY COMFORTABLE
This sounds like a good mattress since my husband’s back hurts after sleeping.
The reviews look amazing. Would love to win! My aging body needs help. My mattress definitely needs replacing.
Sounds great but curious since I don’t think anyone really mentioned it. I’m a tad on the heavy side..yay or nay?
This mattress seems amazing for side sleepers! I’m excited to try it.
That is the best discount I have seen anywhere. Thank you for sharing.
Are these reviews for the regular or Lux mattress?
This review is for the Regular.
I bought the Lux mattress and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I had a Tempurpedic that was way too firm for me. The Lux is slightly less firm which gives me good support and as a side sleeper has alleviated my hip pain. I suffered for years with intense hip pain and stiffness getting up in the morning and this mattress has greatly helped enough so I can get better sleep. I suffer with fibromyalgia and I highly recommend the Lux.
After one week I could not be happier. I am 240# and have to say that I haven’t slept better! I am no fan of heat so this thing gets an A ++. If you like to read in bed, do not buy this matress! You wont get much reading in before you are fast asleep! If you like to sit on the edge of your bed every morning before you force yourself into reality, this isnt for you… But if you are looking for a nest to have a wonderful sleep with the best support on your side or back, do not hesitate!
Great review, I am curious which exact puffy mattress did you purchase? Thank you
We bought queen size, but this mattress is short on all sizes on queen bed frame. It also heats up pretty bad as you sleep. And it took me over two months to finally wake up on this mattress without feeling extremely muscle sores. We attempted many times to write to Pluffy’s customer center but all in vain. Once you receive the mattress they are not reachable. My five year old fell off the bed once already because it is impossible to fit my husband 5’9, me 5’1 and a thin 5 year old together. I read numerous review before buying but on the hindsight, they are all suspiciously good to excellent reviews. I feel trapped with deceitful merchandise.
Do u have Split Queen mattresses for adjustable frames
I’ve got a 12″ king Puffy Luxe, and while it did take a few weeks to feel “normal”, I’ve got to say I absolutely LOVE this mattress! I thought it was going to be just a bit too soft for me, but as you sink in it firms up perfectly. I’m a stomach/side sleeper, I sleep kinda hot and I’m a not a lightweight, and it delivers.
