Is the Puffy Lux Mattress Right for You?
Buy the Puffy Lux Mattress if you like:
- Memory foam feel – The Puffy Lux mattress is made entirely of the proprietary designed memory foam which will hug and mold to your body to provide you with incredible comfort and relieve your pressure points.
- Sleeping on your side and back – This mattress provides the support necessary for side sleeping and back sleeping without causing any discomfort in hips and shoulders that some mattresses often cause.
- A mattress that sleeps cool – The Puffy Lux mattress uses various cooling technologies such as Cooling Cloud gel-infused memory foam, Climate-Adaptive Regulation layer and breathable cover to prevent the build-up of heat and create an optimal level of comfort necessary for a great sleeping experience.
You might not like the Puffy Lux Mattress if:
- You like the feeling of sleeping on top of a mattress – The Puffy Lux is a medium-firm all foam mattress that will allow your body to sink into it to a certain degree and if you like the feeling of sleeping on top of a mattress rather than inside it, then this mattress may not be the right pick for you.
- You are a stomach sleeper – If you are a stomach sleeper and you are looking for a mattress that will safely support your hips and shoulders and keep your spine properly aligned, then this mattress may not be an ideal option for you. It may be too soft for your preferred sleeping position. Review updated
Construction and Materials
The Puffy Lux is a now 12.5″ thick mattress made of 4 layers of proprietary designed memory foam:
- 3″ Top Cooling layer – The top layer is made of 3″ of patent pending Cooling Cloud gel-infused memory foam that uses convection and conduction technology to disperse heat away from your body. It is designed to provide greater airflow to the mattress and create a cool and comfortable sleeping surface.
- 1.5″ Comfort Layer – This layer is made of 1.5″ Plush Dual Cloud Comfort foam designed to contour to your body, relieve pressure points, and provide you with a peaceful and relaxing night’s sleep.
- 2″ Climate-Adaptive Regulation Foam Layer – This layer is made of 2″ of special temperature and humidity resistant Climate-Adaptive Regulation Foam designed to provide extraordinary pressure relief on all temperature and humidity levels and combat climate fluctuations which can disrupt a comfortable night’s sleep. It is also resistant to contractions and expansions that often occur from extreme temperatures.
- 6″ Bottom layer – This foundation layer is made of 6″ of firm core support foam offering four times the support level of other foam mattresses available online.
Puffy Lux mattress layers
The new upgraded Puffy Lux mattress is designed to fit any frame or surface including box springs, slats, flat frames, adjustable frames or even the floor.
Its Cooling Cloud and Plush Cloud Foams work together to relieve your body’s pressure points and create a cool and comfortable sleeping surface, while the slightly firmer underlying Climate-Adaptive Regulation and Firm Core Support Layer aid in relieving pressure points and work to keep your spine aligned.
The new Puffy Lux has a breathable and extremely soft cover with a silky, luxury feel to it that works to wick away moisture and heat and provide you with a cool, comfortable and recovering sleep that you need.

Firmness & Support
The new upgraded Puffy Lux is a universal comfort model which means that it is designed to appeal to a wide range of sleepers with different sleep preferences.
We felt that the Puffy Lux was firmer than the regular Puffy model, and we would say it is around a 7,5 on the firmness scale (10 being the firmest).
Puffy has their own firmness scale on their site and they rate this mattress a little softer, in a range you can see below.
As we always preach, firmness is largely weight dependent, and I usually compress the top comfort layers of most mattresses more than Kaye does as I weigh considerably more than she does (230lbs vs. 115).
Although I compressed the top comfort layer of the Puffy Lux mattress to a certain degree, it supported my heavier weight with ease and distributed it evenly across the bed.
It was of a perfect firmness for me and didn’t cause me to push all the way down through it and come to rest on the harder support layer below.
The new Puffy Lux mattress distributed our weights evenly both when lying or sitting up in the bed, and for Kaye it was of a perfect firmness too as she generally prefers mattresses of a firmer feel.
The dense foam layers used in its construction give you a true memory foam sensation and provide you with the right balance of comfort and support during sleep. Although this mattress is primarily designed for back and side sleepers, it works well for all sleeping positions.
The Puffy Lux definitely provides the support necessary for side sleeping, without causing any discomfort in our shoulders and hips that some mattresses often cause.
As we have already mentioned, that given we are side sleepers, the Puffy Lux perfectly supported our hips and shoulders when sleeping on our sides without causing numbness or stiffness in our limbs which often is the case with firmer mattresses.

Comfort
Just like the original Puffy, the Puffy Lux is a rather comfortable mattress. Its Cooling Cloud, Plush Cloud and Climate-Adaptive layers are designed to relax you and provide you with a cool and comfortable sleeping surface as well as eliminate stress and strain from your body.
These top comfort layers work together with the Climate-Adaptive Regulation layer to keep your spine aligned while cradling your body and preventing any pressure points on during sleep.
This model is firm enough to be supportive, and yet has the softness necessary for comfortable sleep. It will make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud, but will prevent you from sinking too much in the foam and feel like you are “trapped in foam,” which some memory foam mattresses are known to do.

The multiple memory foam layers provide a high degree of comfort and support with the Puffy Lux, and the nice thick 12.5″ design really supports heavier sleepers such as myself quite well.
Its soft and breathable cover has a silky feel to it which adds to the overall comfort and luxuriousness of this mattress as well.
The softness of the cover combined with the initial soft response from the memory foam layers made our nights truly enjoyable and this feeling was shared by both of us.
Sleeping Hot
The Puffy Lux mattress does an excellent job of sleeping cool. The Cooling Cloud gel-infused layer prevents the build-up of heat and regulates the temperature of your body to create an optimal level of comfort necessary for a great sleeping experience.

In addition, the new Climate-Adaptive Regulation layer regulates temperature and humidity to keep you cool and comfortable and prevent overheating while a thin and breathable cover on the mattress provides greater airflow and aids in cooling the mattress as well.
All this mattress technology combined kept us cool throughout the night and helped eliminate the problem of sleeping hot that we often experience as a couple living in Texas.
With this mattress there was no excessive sweating, and we didn’t feel any discomfort or stickiness that is usually the case with all foam or all memory foam mattresses.
Sinkage and Motion Transfer
Like we often preach, sinkage and motion transfer are highly dependent on sleeper’s weight.
As I weigh more than Kaye, I usually tend to sink down a lot more into mattresses when sitting up on them or on the edge, but this was not the case with the upgraded Puffy Lux mattress. I compressed its top comfort layer to a certain degree, but it didn’t cause me to bottom out and come to rest on the foundation of our bed.
Kaye didn’t experienced the same amount of sinkage as I did given that she’s half my weight, and most importantly, she didn’t roll towards me or feel as if she was going to sink into a hole.
Puffy Lux Mattress Profile
This is often a problem with us given our weight differential, and something as a couple we have argued about and had issues with many mattresses since starting our mattress review site, Memory Foam Talk.
Because I weigh twice what Kaye does, I often cause a depression in the mattress which makes her sink into me with some mattresses that have poor support and bad sinkage.
Not with the new upgraded Puffy Lux mattress. Its now 12.5″ thickness combined with its dense foam layers does a good job at preventing excessive sinkage, which earns it high marks in our evaluation of it.
Edge support with this mattress is also excellent. I didn’t press all the way down through the mattress when sitting on or near its edge, and it worked perfectly well for Kaye as well. There was no sliding sensation that is seen in other all-foam mattresses.
As the Puffy Lux has thick layers of durable foams, there is almost no motion transfer. This bed does an amazing job of isolating vibrations and making any movement almost unnoticeable.
It is one of the best mattress choices available on today’s market when it comes to reduced motion transfer which makes it ideal for couples. It allows you to easily change positions and get in and out of the bed during the night without disturbing your partner.
Smell / Off-Gassing
There was a small degree of off-gassing / smell with this mattress coming mostly from being compressed during packaging and shipping, but it was nothing overpowering when compared to some other mattresses we have reviewed.
Any smell that was present dissipated pretty quickly so we give the Puffy Lux good marks in this category.

Price
Although the Puffy Lux mattress costs more than its predecessor, it is still pretty reasonably priced coming in at $1795 for a Queen, but now you can get it for only $1495.
Given the premium materials used in its construction and the overall comfort and luxuriousness that it offers, this is a decent price.
