Puffy Lux Mattress Review

Motion isolation is one of the Puffy Lux Mattress’s greatest strengths. While we’d expect most all-foam mattresses to isolate motion well, the Puffy Lux performs exceptionally well, even compared to other all-foam models.

Because the Puffy Lux’s memory foam and polyfoam comfort layers tend to absorb motion rather than transferring it across the surface of the mattress, people who often wake up when their partner changes position may experience fewer sleep disturbances.

The Puffy Lux’s memory foam top layer and polyfoam comfort layer work together to cradle the sleeper’s body and relieve pressure points. This close contouring distributes a sleeper’s weight to reduce the pressure that often builds up around the hips, knees, and shoulders. This puts the Puffy Lux’s pressure-relieving qualities in line with other memory foam models.

While many individuals will experience excellent pressure relief from the Puffy Lux Mattress, it may not be suitable for all sleepers. The mattress’s medium feel may be too soft for some, especially those who weigh more than 230 pounds. The extra pressure on the foam could cause it to overcompress, which may contribute to more noticeable pressure points for heavier individuals.

Like many all-foam models, the Puffy Lux may trap some heat. A top layer of memory foam conforms closely to the sleeper’s body, which may make it harder for heat to escape. To counteract this, the transition layer is engineered to cool itself if it gets too hot, which helps the Puffy Lux maintain a more even temperature. That being said, it may not be the best choice for those who tend to sleep hot.

The Puffy Lux Mattress’s edges have a sturdier feel than some all-foam models, likely due to the mattress’s relatively thick transition and support layers. While the edge may feel secure to lighter individuals, people who weigh over 230 pounds are more likely to notice some sinkage, which may make them less likely to use the full surface area.

The close conforming and the slower response of memory foam may make it more difficult for some individuals to move around on the surface of the mattress. This is true for both the Puffy Lux and most other models that use memory foam.

The Puffy Lux’s memory foam and polyfoam layers allow the sleeper to sink in, which provides strong cradling and pressure relief. However, since the hug of memory foam is more akin to sleeping “in” the bed rather than “on” the bed, changing positions may be more difficult for some.

Like most other all-foam models, the Puffy Lux Mattress is not particularly bouncy, so it may not be as conducive to sex as springier models, like innerspring or hybrid mattresses.

However, the Puffy Lux’s close conforming can provide traction. Additionally, it is virtually silent, so amorous activities can be more discreet.

Like many new mattresses, the Puffy Lux may initially emit an off-gassing odor.

Synthetic foams used in mattresses typically let off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the manufacturing process. These usually aren’t considered harmful for most individuals.

Off-gassing odors tend to air out relatively quickly. Owners can leave their new mattress in a well-ventilated space to give it time for the smells to dissipate. Most mattresses will air out within a few hours to a few days.
