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. An interesting fact about the company is that it manufactures all of its products in the U.S. Its beds have shown up on several of our best lists, and its premium Puffy Lux mattress might be the bed you’re looking for to complete your bedroom setup. It’s the thicker, more durable, more plush counterpart to the original, and we think the Puffy Lux mattress is great for:
- Side sleepers and some combination sleepers who want a softer mattress.
- All body types thanks to Puffy Lux’s hybrid construction.
- Folks who want an easy-to-clean machine-washable cover (moms, neat freaks, etc.).
UPDATE: Puffy discontinued its foam Lux models, and now offer supportive hybrid Puffy Lux models.
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 Feel and Firmness
How do we rate firmness?
In terms of firmness, we think the Puffy Lux mattress 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 Puffy Lux lands closer to a true medium-soft, while a more petite individual might think it’s closer to a straight medium rating.
What does it feel like?
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.
Overall, it’s a very soft and plush mattress, making it one of the most comfortable beds on 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.
Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress Construction and Design
The Puffy Lux mattress used to be an all-foam bed, but now it’s a hybrid that consists of four primary 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 layer of Contour-Adapt Coil tech. This layer serves as the foundation for the mattress.
- Transition layer – On top of the support foam is a 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 layer of what the company calls its “Plush 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 layer of what the company calls its “Cooling Cloud Foam.” This layer serves as the true comfort layer for the mattress. It’s gel-infused and feels eerily similar to memory foam.
- Machine washable 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.
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, which means that the foam in the bedding has been tested to meet CertiPUR-US standards for emissions, performance, and durability. Specifically, it ensures that the foam is made without toxic materials like mercury, lead and heavy metals.
Puffy Lux Sleeper Type Analysis
Body Type Analysis
For all sleepers who weigh under 230 lbs., Puffy luxe will work just fine for you. Though, remember that smaller individuals place very little pressure on the surface, so they sleep more on top of the bed rather than in it. As a result, sleepers under 150 lbs. will likely experience a firmer Puffy Lux.
