Puffy Lux Mattress Overview
Puffy is a top-rated mattress brand among the likes of Casper, Nectar, Avocado and Leesa, thanks to its accommodating feel, price and firmness level. Its easy-to-clean machine washable cover feature doesn’t hurt its popularity either (more about that later).
Their beds have shown up on several of our best lists, and their premium Puffy Lux mattress might be the bed you’re looking for to complete your bedroom setup. Though we have to say, it’s not for everyone, including budget shoppers. Below, we’ll discuss why we think you should or shouldn’t purchase the Puffy Lux Mattress.
This Puffy Lux mattress review is an in-depth post, so in order to make it all easily digestible, here’s an overview of what we’ll be covering. Click the links to jump to the appropriate section in this mattress review:
Our reviews tend to be pretty detailed. If you’re in a rush, you can listen to our team discuss the video for our Puffy Mattress reviews. Alternatively, if you’re in the reading mood, continue along to find out all the major highlights of the Puffy Lux.
Puffy Lux Mattress Construction And Design
The Puffy Lux is an all-foam bed that consists of four layers and totals 12″ thick. Below, you can find an explanation of the layers and what the bed looks like inside!
- Base layer – For the bottom, the bed uses a 7″ layer of dense support foam. This layer serves as the foundation for the mattress.
- Transition layer – On top of the support foam is a 2″ layer of what the company calls its “Climate Comfort Foam”. Don’t let the fancy terminology fool you, this layer is just there to act as a transition from the firm foam below.
- Comfort layer – Next, the bed uses a 1.5″ layer of what the company calls its “Body Adapting Dual Cloud Foam”. This layer is actually exclusive to the Puffy Lux mattress. It’s designed to contour to your body’s shape and provide deep pressure relief.
- Comfort layer – Finally, on top is a 1.5″ layer of what the company calls its “Cooling Cloud Foam.” Again, no need to pay special attention to the name, this layer serves as the true comfort layer for the mattress. It’s gel-infused and feels eerily similar to memory foam.
Also, just so you’re aware, the company’s foams are produced using a special Variable Pressure Manufacturing process, which cuts out harmful chemicals. As a result, all the foams within the bed are CertiPUR certified.
Machine Washable Mattress Cover
Wrapping the four layers of foam is a soft, removable cover that the company claims is stain resistant. As you can see below, the cover looks super comfortable and soft-to-the-touch.
In addition, according to the Puffy’s website, the cover is washable. They technically use the term “zip-n-wash” to describe the cover so we’re assuming it’s okay to throw it in your washing machine. This would make the Puffy Lux one of the few bed-in-a-box mattresses on the market that feature a machine washable cover. It’s not a huge deal but it’s definitely much more convenient than covers that require spot cleaning.
Puffy Lux Mattress Feel And Firmness
Even though the company uses special names for the top two layers of the bed, in our eyes, they’re very comparable to memory foam in terms of feel. As you lay down on the mattress, you slowly nestle-in and the top layers start to contour to your body’s shape.
With that said, it’s more of a light, airy feel than a dense memory foam feel. We happen to really like it. Plus, during our Puffy Lux review test sessions, we found it fairly easy to switch between positions. There’s not much resistance at all, which isn’t always the case with memory foam beds.
Overall, it’s a very soft and plush mattress, making it one of the most comfortable beds in the market. If you’re a fan of the plush, conforming sensation memory foam provides, chances are you’ll enjoy this bed. If you’re not a fan of memory foam though, we recommend checking out GhostBed, Purple, or Avocado Mattress. These are three popular mattresses that have more of a neutral or unique feel.
Firmness Rating
In terms of firmness, we think the Puffy Lux bed lands around a medium-soft to medium on the firmness scale. Again, this bed is soft-to-the-touch and extremely comfortable. It offers a great amount of pressure relief, and really contours to the curves of your body as you lay down.
Remember, though, that your weight affects how soft or firm a mattress feels. For example, a heavier individual will likely feel like the Lux mattress lands closer to a true medium-soft, while a more petite individual might think it’s closer to a straight medium rating.

Is Puffy Lux A Good Mattress For Couples?
We think this mattress is a perfectly viable option for folks who share a bed. The mattress performs well in terms of motion isolation and edge support, which are the two most important factors for couples. Let’s tackle each category one at a time.
Motion Isolation
First, the bed deadens movement exceptionally well. We noticed very little cross-bed motion that spread across the surface when pressure was applied in our tests. As you can see below, the water in the glass stayed reasonably steady despite the movement generated from our testing team. A bed that deadens movement nicely will likely translate to a better night of sleep since you will feel less of your partner’s movements throughout the night.
Edge Support
Next, the bed also provides fairly solid edge support for an all-foam mattress. It will definitely get the job done for the majority of couples out there.
Edge support is an essential subject for couples who sleep on a smaller size mattress (e.g., full or queen). A bed that provides good edge support means there is more useful space for both partners to spread out and get comfortable while still receiving proper support.
Temperature Regulation
Although the top layers of the bed strongly resemble memory foam, we don’t think the Puffy Lux sleeps hot. First, it’s important to realize this is a new-age bed-in-a-box mattress. This isn’t a memory foam bed from the 1980s. Bedding materials and foams have advanced quite a bit over the last couple of decades and are much improved in terms of temperature regulation.
With that said, we don’t think this mattress sleeps cool either. Instead, we believe it sleeps more temperature neutral. In other words, the mattress won’t be the primary reason why you warm up or cool off throughout the night. Instead, you can expect external factors (e.g., the climate you live in, what kind of sheets you use, and how often you run your AC) to play more of a role in how warm or cool you sleep.

The good news is that Puffy is extremely aggressive when it comes to sales and discounts.

Puffy Lux Mattress Reviews Verdict
All in all, there’s a lot to like about the Puffy Lux mattress. It’s soft, comfortable, and accommodates all sleeper types. However, all that aside, we just wish it was priced a little lower. There are many other three and four-layer all-foam mattresses out there (not to mention countless hybrid beds) that are more affordable. Still, if the price is of no concern and you just want an ultra-comfortable, plush mattress, this bed is a great option.
