Quick verdict
Start with the Royal if you want a 14-inch plush hybrid and a lower starting price. Consider the Monarch if you want a taller 16-inch hybrid and its listed wool and latex materials are worth the extra cost to you. Both are marketed as plush; actual feel depends on your body and sleeping position.

Which mattress may fit you?
Consider Royal if you want a plush hybrid but prefer a lower profile and price than Monarch. Compare it with the Royal’s separate review for Yawnder’s model-specific context.
Consider Monarch if you want a taller mattress with the manufacturer’s listed wool and latex features and have room for a 16-inch profile. Measure the top of your foundation, your fitted sheet’s pocket depth and the path into the bedroom before ordering.
Side sleepers may value cushioning at the shoulder and hip; back and stomach sleepers may want to check whether a plush surface feels supportive enough. Weight, mattress size and individual preference affect the result. Neither model is guaranteed to relieve pain or suit every sleeper.
Materials, temperature and motion
Both are hybrids with foam and coils. Puffy describes the Royal with blended wool and zoned support, and the Monarch with an added latex response layer and alpaca wool. Ask the seller for the current layer specifications rather than relying on an older diagram or a single layer thickness.
Materials and coils can affect airflow, but no mattress can guarantee a cool night’s sleep. Motion isolation and edge support also depend on the exact model and sleeper; do not treat a different model’s test score as a Monarch result.
