Puffy vs Puffy Lux

The original Puffy is a high-quality, all-foam mattress designed to bring comfort to all sleeper types. We've compiled a side-by-side comparison of The Puffy's top competitor, The Puffy Lux, to see which mattress is the right choice for you. The Puffy Lux adds a level of plush comfort more in tune with that of body-contouring memory foam.

Puffy & Puffy Lux at a glance

The original Puffy is where it all started. This award-winning mattress blends the perfect amount of comfort and support. It also sleeps exceptionally cool, even with its all-foam design. But while the original Puffy mattress remains one of the most popular beds nationwide, is it really worth the hype? Let's take a look at the original Puffy and its closest competitor the Puffy Lux to see which mattress reigns supreme.

Competitor #1: Puffy

With 3 layers of premium foam, this mattress provides you with just the right amount of comfort and pressure-relief. Puffy's Cooling Cloud and Firm Core Support layers are designed to adapt to your body and give you support as you shift throughout the night, keeping your spine properly aligned. It also comes with an all-new stain resistant cover. The Zip-N-Wash cover easily comes off so you can deep clean, ensuring your mattress stays fresher for longer. It has a medium-firm feel, around 6-8/10 on the firmness scale. It's great for all sleeper types.

• Starts at $795 for a Twin and goes up to $1350 for a California King

Competitor #2: Puffy Lux

The Puffy Lux is very similar to the original Puffy Lux in terms of mattress build. The main difference? The Puffy Lux contains an exclusive Body Adapting Dual Cloud Foam layer. Here's an overview of what sets the Puffy Lux aside from the Original.

The Puffy Lux is 2" taller than the original for a height of 12". It includes everything the Puffy has and adds a revolutionary new Plush Cloud comfort transition foam to bring you enhanced pressure relief. This additional layer gives the mattress a feel very similar to memory foam. It has a medium-soft feel, around 6/10 on the firmness scale. While it's suitable for all sleeper types, we think side sleepers can do especially well with this plushier mattress.

• Starts at $1445 for a Twin and goes up to $1995 for a California King

Side-By-Side Comparison

As you can see, the only difference in construction between the two models is the added Dual Cloud Foam layer inside the Puffy Lux. This exclusive layer brings you enhanced pressure relief. However, this extra foam layer makes the price of the Puffy Lux around $600 higher than that of the original Puffy mattress.

If you're on a tighter budget, than the original Puffy mattress is definitely the better choice. It has all the features you need to sleep comfortably night after night. However, if you enjoy a more airy, memory foam feel (or are just a side sleeper), you're going to do much better with the Puffy Lux mattress.

How To Choose The Right Mattress

First off, if your current mattress is 7-10 years old and you're experiencing more body aches and pains, it's time to buy a new mattress. Getting a good night's sleep is essential in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Choosing the right mattress doesn't have to be a hassle, follow these guidelines to find the right one for you!

• Choose a mattress based on your individual needs. If you're looking for plushier support that adapts to your body's shape, a memory foam mattress is the best choice. If you want a more firm, traditional, feel an innerspring mattress is what you want. For the best of both worlds, get a hybrid mattress.

• Get proper lumbar support. The majority of your body weight is positioned in what is called the "center third" of the mattress. Find a mattress that has excellent lumbar support as it prevents and alleviates pain in the back and hips. If you're looking for extra support, Saatva's unique lumbar zone technology might be the best fit.

• Find a mattress with a long in-home trial. You want to be able to test your mattress over an extended period of time to really make sure this is the right one for you. Look for a company that offers a risk-free in-home sleep trial. Nectar offers a 365-day trial. IDLE Sleep offers a full 18-month trial (the longest in the industry).
