Puffy introduced its flagship mattress in 2017. Since then, it has expanded its product line to include two additional mattresses along with mattress bases, bedding, and more.
All three of Puffy’s mattresses are constructed of foam. The Puffy is constructed of three layers, the Puffy Lux has four layers, and the Puffy Royal uses five layers.
While other reviews on this site will share information on the Puffy and the Puffy Royal, this review will focus exclusively on the Puffy Lux Mattress. The price of the Puffy Lux falls between the prices of the Puffy and Puffy Royal. The thickness is also between that of the two other models, measuring 12 inches.
We’ll provide detailed information on the Puffy Lux Mattress, including its construction, performance, pricing, sizing, and more.
Watch the video below to see how the Puffy Lux performed when put to the test in the Sleep Foundation Lab.
The Puffy Lux is an all-foam model constructed of several layers of foam.
Two layers are used in the comfort system. The top layer of the system uses 1.5 inches of gel-infused memory foam. This layer cradles the sleeper’s body to relieve pressure from their hip, knees, and shoulders. It is also engineered for breathability to help maintain a more neutral temperature on the sleep surface. The second layer of the comfort system uses 1.5 inches of polyfoam. This layer is crafted for deeper contouring and support.
The transition layer consists of 2 inches of polyfoam. This layer is engineered to regulate temperature fluctuations year-round. It also acts as a barrier between the comfort system and the core. The support layer uses 7 inches of polyfoam to reinforce the mattress surface while supporting good spinal alignment.
A polyester cover encases the mattress. This mattress cover is stain resistant and removable for easy cleaning.
The Puffy Lux rates around 5 on the 10-point firmness scale, giving it a medium feel. Most individuals prefer this firmness level or a slightly firmer feel. At 12 inches thick, the Puffy Lux Mattress is slightly thicker than many models on the market.
The Puffy Lux Mattress is constructed of four foam layers. This includes one layer of memory foam and three layers of polyfoam.

The Puffy Lux is available in all standard mattress sizes. It is more expensive than the average for most all-foam models. While it comes in at a higher price point, the extra expense may be worth it for some since the Puffy Lux offers exceptional motion isolation and very good pressure relief. We’ve noted the list prices below, but Puffy frequently offers promotions that lower the cost.

Side Sleepers:
The Puffy Lux’s two-layer comfort system distributes a side sleeper’s body weight to take the pressure off their hips and shoulders. A top layer of memory foam cushions while conforming, and a second layer of polyfoam adds deeper contouring.
Because the Puffy Lux has a medium feel, it is perhaps most suitable for lighter individuals.
Side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds are likely to experience the best balance between pressure relief and support. Those between 130 pounds and 230 pounds may notice some slight sinkage around their hips and shoulders, which could affect their spinal alignment. Individuals over 230 pounds may notice more sinkage near their hips and shoulders, which may make it more difficult to maintain proper spinal alignment and could aggravate pressure points.
Back Sleepers:
The medium feel of the Puffy Lux Mattress may make it a little too soft for some back sleepers. Back sleepers usually favor an even surface that supports their natural spinal alignment. For many individuals, this requires a slightly firmer feel.
The Puffy Lux may provide a good balance of support and cushioning for back sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds. The plush top layer of memory foam gives a touch of softness, while the multiple layers of polyfoam provide support.
Back sleepers who weigh between 130 pounds and 230 pounds are more likely to notice some sagging near their hips, which could put their spines out of alignment and contribute to lower back pain. Those who weigh over 230 pounds are likely to experience more significant sinkage around their hips that may lead to discomfort.
Stomach Sleepers:
Because of the Puffy Lux’s medium feel, stomach sleepers may experience more sinkage around their midsections than would be ideal. People who sleep on their stomachs gravitate toward firmer mattresses as they typically need beds with a greater degree of support and pushback.
If a mattress isn’t supportive enough, the weight of the stomach sleeper’s midsection can pull it down too deeply into the mattress and put a strain on their spine. The Puffy Lux’s medium feel may not be supportive enough for some stomach sleepers.
Individuals who weigh under 130 pounds are likely to experience sufficient support. Stomach sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds may sink into the two-layer comfort system too deeply, thereby putting the spine out of alignment.
Under 130 lbs. | 130-230 lbs. | Above 230 lbs. | |
---|---|---|---|
Side Sleepers | Excellent | Good | Fair |
Back Sleepers | Excellent | Fair | Fair |
Stomach Sleepers | Good | Fair | Poor |
