If you’re someone who can’t get enough of extra soft and fluffy mattresses, you’ll like the Puffy Lux bed. The Lux’s selling point is its plush and marshmallowy feel. There’s a reason the top of the mattress has clouds stitched into the cover.

A look at the inside of the Puffy Lux Hybrid (the pocketed coils are hiding behind the thick foam encasing, which is meant to improve edge support).

My Slumber Yard

Feel

Puffy was not shy with the memory foam in this mattress and it’s very prevalent, but it’s more light and airy than it is dense. Some memory foams take a few seconds to nestle around your body and even feel firm at first, but that’s not the case with the Puffy Lux. The soft memory foam molds around my body immediately and I slowly sink into the bed’s comfort layer. It really gives you that “ahhhh” feeling, kind of like you’re being hugged by a teddy bear. 

Motion isolation

Even though the Puffy Lux is a hybrid mattress made with coils, it’s really good at deadening movement across the mattress. I give the credit to the several layers of memory foam stacked in the top, which absorb motion like a pro. If you share a mattress with a partner, this will help prevent you from being disturbed when they move around in the middle of the night. 

Edge support

Not only does the Puffy Lux contain steel coils that help maintain the integrity of the bed’s support system, but they’re backed with dense, firm foam as a double reinforcement. If you’re forced to the edge of your mattress because your partner is a kicker or a bed hog, you won’t feel like you’re going to roll off the side. 

Temperature 

Don’t be fooled by the name of this bed’s Cooling Cloud foam. It’s not going to feel very cool. On the flip side, it’s not going to warm up either. Instead, I find the Puffy Lux sleeps temperature-neutral; the temperature of your room, your pajamas, the region you live in and whether or not you sleep with a partner will probably play a bigger role in how warm you get while you sleep. 

Who will like this mattress?

A soft firmness level is more accommodating to certain sleeping positions than others, and it’s important to pay attention to your most dominant position to determine if a mattress is going to be right for you. Your body type also plays a role in how suitable a mattress is going to be.
