Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress Review

The Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress combines thoughtful construction and high-performance materials. The mattress employs multiple layers of memory foam and polyfoam along with 6 inches of individually pocketed coils in a sturdy support core. The foam layers provide comfort, relieve pressure, and limit motion transfer, while the coils add a degree of bounce and stability. 

In our testing, the Puffy Lux Hybrid was found to be a solid option for couples thanks to the foam’s ability to limit motion transfer across the surface of the bed. The medium (5) firmness and contouring properties of the foam make this mattress a match for side sleepers under 230 pounds as well as most back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.  

Founded in 2016, Puffy sells multiple models of mattresses in addition to sheets, bed frames, blankets, and pillows. The company’s flagship Puffy Mattress is an all-foam model, while the Puffy Lux and Puffy Royal are both hybrid mattresses.

We’ll focus on the Puffy Lux Hybrid, which contains three layers of foam in its comfort system, including a layer of gel-infused memory foam designed to reduce heat buildup. The support core consists of 6 inches of pocketed coils on top of a 1-inch base of sturdy polyfoam. The hypoallergenic polyester cover has a zipper that allows it to be quickly removed and washed. 

We’ll discuss how the Lux Hybrid fared in several performance categories. We’ll also provide information about its construction and materials and explain how it compares to other mattresses offered by Puffy.

How We Review

When assessing mattresses, our testing team applies a rigorous testing methodology, which we use to evaluate every product according to the same set of standards. This approach and our industry experience enable us to provide credible ratings so that you can choose a mattress that’s right for you.

When you lie on the Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress, you’ll first notice its cushioning. The comfort system includes memory foam that hugs the body to offer contouring around the shoulders, back, and hips. At the same time, the pocketed coils add an element of bounce and sturdiness so you’ll feel supported but not stuck in the bed.

Our testing team found that the mattress excels at relieving pressure and promoting spinal alignment. In addition, the foam layers limit motion transfer, so you will be unlikely to notice if a bed partner moves on the bed. 

Thanks to these benefits, the Puffy Lux Hybrid works well for a wide range of sleepers. However, it may not be the optimal match for hot sleepers or people who like a firmer mattress, including some back and stomach sleepers and many people who weigh over 230 pounds.

Puffy Lux Mattress Pros and Cons

Sleeping Positions, Body Weight, and Firmness

The Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress is a medium (5) on our 10-point firmness scale. Generally, mattresses with a medium firmness level have broad appeal and are comfortable and supportive for a wide range of sleepers. 

Our team of testers evaluated the Puffy Lux Hybrid in several performance categories. Because a mattress’ firmness is closely tied to a sleeper’s comfort level, our testing team includes sleepers with varying body types and sleep position preferences.

According to our testers, the Lux Hybrid is best suited to side sleepers under 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds. Sleepers over 230 pounds typically need a firmer mattress for ideal support. 

Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress

• Side Sleepers: Our testing team found that the Puffy Lux Hybrid performed excellently for side sleepers under 130 pounds, as they could get the benefits of its contouring without sinking too deeply into the mattress. Good support was also provided to side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, although some people in this group found the mattress a bit too soft. Side sleepers over 230 pounds tend to sink too far into the mattress, which can affect spinal alignment.

• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers under 130 pounds received excellent support from the Lux Hybrid, with comfortable cushioning for their lower back without excess sinkage. Back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds also received solid support, but testers over 230 pounds said that they preferred a firmer option.

• Stomach Sleepers: Given its medium feel and contouring foam, the Puffy Lux is not the ideal mattress for most stomach sleepers. Our testing found the best fit is for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds, but most others are likely to experience too much sinkage. 

Our testers rated the Puffy Lux Hybrid as medium (5) on our 10-point firmness system. Its cover is composed of a stain-resistant and hypoallergenic polyester, and it has a zipper that allows it to be easily removed and cleaned. 

The bed’s first comfort layer is a 1.5-inch layer of gel-infused Cooling Cloud memory foam that helps provide cushioning and pressure point relief. Below that is a 1.5-inch layer of Dual Cloud polyfoam that contributes added contouring and support. The final comfort layer is 2 inches of breathable Climate Comfort polyfoam that is designed to disperse heat and limit excess sinking into the bed. 

The support core includes 6 inches of individually pocketed coils and a 1-inch layer of high-density polyfoam. The underside of the mattress cover includes a grippy material that resists sliding on your bed frame or box spring. 

All the foams used in the Puffy Lux Hybrid are CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they do not contain a number of known harmful chemicals like heavy metals or phthalates. 

Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress Construction Layers

The Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress has a competitive price relative to other hybrids. A typical hybrid mattress can range in price from $1,000 to $2,500, with many luxury models costing even more. The Lux Hybrid falls toward the middle of this range, offering value for shoppers looking for a reasonably priced hybrid. 

Which Puffy Mattress Is Right for You?

Puffy offers three mattresses: the flagship Puffy Mattress, the Puffy Lux Hybrid, and the Puffy Royal Hybrid. Each mattress varies in construction and materials and appeals to different sleepers’ needs and preferences. 

The Puffy Mattress is the least expensive option. This all-foam bed includes both memory foam and polyfoam and is best suited for side and back sleepers under 130 pounds. The Puffy Lux Hybrid offers pressure relief from its foam layers and bounce and responsiveness from the coil-based support core.

The Royal Hybrid is Puffy’s luxury option. It includes an additional layer of memory foam for extra contouring and some added features designed to promote cooling during sleep.
