PUFFY CLOUD MATTRESS REVIEW
The Puffy Cloud Mattress is the original Puffy Mattress – a 10-inch, 7-layer all-foam mattress designed to emphasize comfort, support, and cooling. We first reviewed the Puffy Mattress in 2018 and thought we’d test it again and give you our updated thoughts on this classic, yet high-quality, made in the USA foam mattress!
Let’s take a closer look at the Puffy Mattress to help you decide whether this is the right mattress for your bedroom.
Company Policies & Recommendations
Puffy Cloud Mattress - Composition
The Puffy Cloud Mattress is a well-engineered 10-inch all-foam mattress, made of six layers designed to work together to optimize sleep quality and health.
1. Cool Touch Quilted Cloud Cover
The mattress cover is made of cooling yarns knitted into a quilted top with its patented Puffy cloud design. We found this cover to provide a cool-to-the-touch and very soft feeling, enhancing the overall comfort and sleep experience.
2. Climate Fiber Layer
Beneath the cover lies the Climate Fiber Layer, composed of soft, heat-resistant fibers, looking and feeling like felt. This layer adds cushioning and promotes increased air circulation, aiding in temperature regulation throughout the night as it helps warm body air from the mattress cover aerate.
3. 2″ Cooling Cloud™ Foam
This 2-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam is the first comfort foam layer in the Puffy Cloud Mattress and disperses heat from the upper two layers, while cradling muscles and joints, providing cooling and contouring to your body. This is also the first layer of pressure relief, allowing your hips and shoulders to get the relief they need to sleep comfortably if you sleep on your side or back.
4. 2″ Cloud Comfort Pressure Relief Foam
Measuring 2 inches, this pressure-relieving foam ensures proper support to maintain correct spinal alignment, crucial for reducing back pain and promoting restorative sleep. It bring the total pressure relief in this Puffy Mattress to 4 inches, which is ideal for most side sleepers, as well as a back sleepers under 180 lbs.
5. Firm Core Support Foam
At the core of the Puffy Cloud Mattress is a 6-inch high-density full-body support foam. This is the support layer and replaces the 6-inch layer of coils you’d find in most hybrid mattresses. This layer provides foundational support, isolates motion, and stabilizes the mattress, ensuring durability and consistent performance.
If you are a lover of all-foam mattresses, this is the layer that makes the difference. It provides the support your bones and joints need to sleep aligned, with that typical foam feel you love.
6. Grip Base Cover
The base cover ensures the mattress remains stationary on all surfaces and frames, preventing unwanted movement and enhancing safety.
Puffy Cloud Mattress Sleep Tests
Everything we felt in one box
| Firmness | Temperature | Maintenance | Sleeping Style | Bed Base |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Thanks to its combination of 4 inches of plush pressure relief and 6 inches of supportive high-density foam, we have rated the Puffy Cloud Mattress a 6/10 on the firmness scale, making it a medium-soft mattress, just a tad softer than the average mattress of 6.5/10. |
The Puffy Cloud Mattress incorporates multiple cooling technologies, including a breathable cover, climate fiber layer, and gel-infused foam, to help regulate temperature and prevent overheating. We have found it to sleep temperature neutral and did not find it to retain heat, as many all-foam mattresses do. |
Always protect your mattress with a waterproof mattress protector. In case of a spill, blot fresh stains with a clean cloth, fresh water, and a mild detergent. Do not rub stains to avoid spreading them, and ensure the mattress is dry prior to covering it with sheets again. |
We recommend the Puffy Cloud Mattress to all side sleepers, who will enjoy deep pressure relief and spinal support from it. Back sleepers under 180 lbs will also appreciate the contouring comfort, while benefiting from spine aligning support. Most stomach sleepers, on the other hand, need a firmer mattress for healthy sleep. |
As with most modern mattresses, the Puffy Cloud mattress can be placed on any bed frame – box springs, divan bases, traditional frames, slats, adjustable bases, and even the floor will do! |
Firmness & Sleeping Styles
We have rated the Puffy Cloud Mattress a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, for what we feel is a medium-soft mattress. The average medium mattress is rated 6.5/10, and the Puffy Cloud provides a little more pressure relief in it first 4 inches of foam that the average mattress.
The balance between softness and support caters to various sleep positions. We recommend the Puffy Cloud Mattress to:
Side Sleepers: The mattress offers a good amount of pressure relief, particularly around the shoulders and hips, making it a great option for side sleepers of all weights. Some light-weight side sleepers with a personal preference for very plush mattresses may find it a little firmer than they like, but overall, this is a great option for all side-sleepers.
Back Sleepers: Back sleepers under 180 lbs will find the mattress very well balanced for their needs. It offers the right balance of support, gentle contouring, and pressure relief for comfort and spinal alignment, though those over this weight might experience reduced lower back support due to increased sinkage and prefer a mattress rated 7/10.
Stomach Sleepers: Most stomach sleepers will find the mattress too soft, potentially leading to excessive sinkage and misalignment of the spine. Some light-weight stomach sleepers with a preference for plush contouring may enjoy the feel of the Puffy Cloud, but we would recommend a mattress rated at least 7.5 to 8/10.
Temperature Regulation
Temperature regulation is a critical aspect of Puffy mattresses, and the Puffy Cloud Mattress achieves it through several layers:
Cool Touch Quilted Cloud Cover: Incorporates cooling yarns to provide a cool-to-the-touch surface.
Climate Fiber Layer: Enhances air circulation, aiding in heat dissipation.
Cooling Cloud™ Foam: Gel-infused memory foam actively disperses heat, preventing heat retention commonly associated with traditional memory foam mattresses.
These layers work together to ensure a cooler sleep environment that helps draw excess heat from the body at night. We have found the Puffy Cloud Mattress to sleep very temperature neutral and never felt hot during our Florida sleep tests.
Motion Transfer
As expected, the all-foam construction of the Puffy Cloud Mattress excels in motion isolation. The memory foam layers absorb movement effectively, ensuring that partners are not disturbed by each other’s motions during the night.
This makes the Puffy Cloud a great mattress for couples with different sleep schedules, or with an active partner, as well as those sharing their bed with a pet or child.
Maintenance & Durability
Maintaining the Puffy Lux Mattress is straightforward and for like most other mattresses, we recommend the following:
- Mattress protector: The mattress cover is not removable; therefore, using a high-quality waterproof mattress protector is recommended to safeguard your mattress investment against spills and stains.
- Spot cleaning: In case of an accidental spill, simply blot the stain with a cloth, fresh water, and mild detergent. Do not rub the stain as it would risk spreading it further.
- Mattress rotation: Regularly rotating your mattress every 3 to 6 months can help maintain its shape and extend its lifespan. Never flip the Bear Star Hybrid, as it is built with a specific layer order.
Who Is The Puffy Cloud Mattress Good For?
The Puffy Cloud Mattress is particularly well-suited for:
Side Sleepers: Its pressure-relieving properties provide cushioning for shoulders and hips, while the high-density foam gives the support those high-pressure areas need to rest aligned.
Back Sleepers: Those under 180 pounds will find adequate support and spinal alignment, with the right balance of pressure relief and gentle contouring.
Couples: Excellent motion isolation makes the Puffy Cloud Mattress ideal for partners with different sleep patterns.
Hot Sleepers: Cooling technologies address heat retention concerns and prevent hot sleepers from overheating at night.
However, it may not be the best choice for:
Stomach Sleepers: The medium-soft feel does not provide the necessary support to prevent spinal misalignment.
Heavier Individuals: Those over 230 pounds are likely to experience excessive sinkage, leading to reduced support.

My niece wanted to be the lead tester on the Puffy, because it sounded so fluffy. Her words, not mine…
Puffy Company Policies
What's Inside the Puffy?
Who doesn’t like to float on a cloud of fluff?
CertiPUR-US Certified Foam
Is what’s inside the Puffy mattress.
We will dive in shortly to introduce you to the layers that make the Puffy! But first let me tell you briefly why it is important to invest in CertiPur- US certified materials.
Typically the creation of foams tends to use chemical ingredients what can cause harm to your well being. Thanks to their specialized variable pressure manufacturing process they were able to avoid that typical harmful process. The certification is important here, because it means that Puffy’s polyurethane foams have been analyzed by independent testing laboratories exceeding the standards set by CertiPUR-US for foam content and durability.
Quality & Safety hand in hand!
Not only at the end you will get a good night’s sleep, you will rest knowing your mattress is made under high quality healthy standards.
As promised, let’s dig in deeper into those supreme layers that make the Puffy so far, so good!
Cooling Cloud Comfort Layer
The Puffy Mattress Cooling Cloud Comfort Layer formula was specifically designed to mold and cradle the sleeper’s body in just the right way to relieve the pressure points and stress that a typical mattress places on your hips, shoulders, knees, and joints. Coupled with its incredible breath ability, that top layer will ensure your body remains at a neutral temperature so you can sleep soundly through the night.
Firm Core Support Layer
Where most mattresses can be too soft to properly support your body, Puffy’s Firm Core Support Layer adds a unique firmness to ensure correct spine alignment. Unlike your typical foam mattress, their base layer still gives and adapts to your unique body shape to allow for continuous blood circulation and pressure relief to alleviate any tossing and turning while you sleep.
Puffy’s Cooling Cloud & Firm Core Support foam will adapt perfectly to every point of your body letting, you forget you’re even on a mattress. OMG, my original thoughts! Puffy is Fluffy. It may be better than sleeping on cloud9? I don’t know how cloud9 feels like but I bet sleeping on a Puffy is way better.
