Unboxing the Puffy Monarch Mattress

The Puffy Monarch mattress shipped to us was rolled and compressed in a box, similar to most mattresses. We then placed the mattress on a sleeping surface and allowed the mattress to deflate for some time.

This mattress took approximately 2 hours to fully expand to its intended level of comfort and firmness. The edges expanded along the whole mattress, reaching a sturdy level of firmness, indicating excellent corner expansion.

We did not get a strong initial smell upon unpacking this mattress, and the off-gassing period lasted around 3 days, which is the average duration. To speed up this process, you can place your mattress in a well-ventilated room.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Puffy Monarch Mattress

Puffy Monarch Mattress Firmness

The Puffy Monarch is a soft hybrid mattress that ranks around 3/10 on the firmness scale. This gives it a plush and soft feel, intended to provide sleepers with a luxurious and comfortable sleep experience.

The inclusion of multiple memory foam layers, such as the Enhanced Cushioning foam, Reflexive Memory foam, Cloud Sculpting foam, and other layers, adds to the mattress’s ability to contour to the body’s natural shape.

This provides a comfortable level of sinkage and gives sleepers a cloud-like sensation by engulfing the body, without compromising the adequate support needed for proper spinal alignment.

Puffy Monarch Mattress Feel

Upon lying on the Puffy Monarch mattress, we immediately felt the plush surface that comfortably enveloped our bodies. Its layers are carefully selected to provide sleepers with luxurious softness and support.

The top layer is a quilted cover that has a cool-to-the-touch feel that allows sleepers to sink and be engulfed in a cloud-like embrace, as a result of the mattress’s memory foam and latex layers. The Enhanced Cushioning foam and Cloud Sculpting Technology foam cradle your body, giving it gentle support and exceptional cushioning and plushness.

Overall, the combination of layers in the Puffy Monarch mattress adds an extra level of comfort to your sleep experience and gives sleepers the sensation of a luxurious hotel mattress sleep.

Puffy Monarch Mattress Comfort

The comfort of this mattress is exceptional and unparalleled. It is specifically designed to provide ultimate comfort and ensure the perfect balance of plushness and support.

Comfort is a subjective thing when it comes to mattresses, as it varies depending on the sleeper’s body weight and preferred sleep position. We performed a few tests to evaluate the level of comfort provided by the Puffy Monarch across all types of sleepers. Below is a table demonstrating the results.

We concluded that the Puffy Monarch mattress excelled in terms of providing comfort when it came to back sleepers and side sleepers. It incorporates a full-body pressure relief layer, which aims to cancel out any formation of pressure in critical areas like the back, shoulders, and hips.

The Contour Adapt Coils also contribute to providing sufficient comfort by targeting support through encased pocketed coils that maintain spinal alignment, allowing you to sleep free of discomfort and pain.

We will discuss below the results shown in our pressure relief test.

Performance of Puffy Monarch Mattress

Cooling

We performed a cooling performance test on the Puffy Monarch mattress by lying on it for 20 minutes and monitoring it for any signs of heat retention.

As expected, we found no signs of heat retention, and the mattress’s surface felt cool throughout our test duration. The Cool Touch Quilted Cover maintains temperature regulation and keeps the mattress nice and cool, benefiting those who live in warm or tropical climates.

The Climate Fiber layer is made of heat-resistant fibers that promote airflow, in addition to the encased pocketed coils that create airways, further regulating temperature and making the Puffy Monarch an ideal choice for hot sleepers.

We rate the Puffy Monarch mattress a 4.8/5 in terms of cooling.

Responsiveness

To test the responsiveness of the Puffy Monarch mattress, we carried out a test in which we placed a 20-pound ball on the mattress and waited a second for the ball to rest. Then, we removed the ball and measured how long it took for the mattress to fully recover its shape.

The mattress recovered in 0.4 seconds, indicating outstanding responsiveness. The Puffy Monarch’s design includes multiple layers that elevate its responsiveness and performance significantly.

The Monarch Latex Response is a latex foam that adapts to your body’s movement quickly and effectively, allowing combination sleepers to enjoy non-restricted movement during their sleep.

This mattress also incorporates the Reflexive Memory Foam, which enhances its contouring abilities, helping it respond to your movements better and aiding movement, particularly for those with limited mobility.

For responsiveness, we give the Puffy Monarch mattress a 5/5.

Motion Isolation

We placed a glass half full of water on top of the mattress to test motion isolation, and we dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side. The water slightly moved around.

We also performed an additional test to see how well the mattress absorbs motion between two partners sharing a bed. We had one person lie on one side of the mattress while the other person rolled around on the other side. The person lying still reported that they felt some movement coming from the side of the mattress.

The Puffy Monarch’s great responsiveness makes it fall slightly short in terms of motion isolation performance. However, the foams and other layers right above the latex and the coils greatly help in isolating motion.

The Puffy Monarch mattress rates a 4/5 in terms of motion isolation.

Edge Support

We evaluated the edge support of the Puffy Monarch mattress by applying pressure to the edges and monitoring the mattress for levels of compression. We felt great support and sturdiness from the layers, and the edges sprung back to their shape as we released pressure. We also sat on the edges of the mattress and did not feel any level of sinkage, and we got no roll-off sensation from doing so.

The Puffy Monarch mattress incorporates a system of encased pocketed coils that are reinforced around the perimeter of the mattress. This promotes the mattress’s longevity by preventing it from sagging over time and maintaining its original shape and form.

The good edge support on this mattress helps maximize the usable surface area. It is also a good feature for those who prefer sitting or sleeping on the sides, as it will eliminate the chance of getting any roll-off sensation.

For edge support, the Puffy Monarch scores a 4.5/5

Noise

We conducted a noise test on the Puffy Monarch mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball onto it. We used highly sensitive microphones to listen for any squeaks or noises, but we heard nothing.

This mattress has a 12-layer design that includes more than enough memory foam layers to effectively absorb the production of noise. A mattress with good noise performance is crucial for all sleepers as it ensures an uninterrupted and restful sleep, and the Puffy Monarch mattress provides just that.

This will allow sleepers to enjoy a quiet sleep experience, especially those who share a bed, as they won’t be disturbed by one another during the night.

The Puffy Monarch mattress rates a 5/5 for noise performance.

Sex

Sex performance on a mattress is measured by several factors. Those are bounce, responsiveness, noise, and edge support. The Puffy Monarch mattress excels in terms of all of them, making it a good mattress for partners.

The responsiveness of the Puffy Monarch mattress is competitively good. It includes layers like the Reflexive Memory Foam and the Monarch Latex Response that both give couples a dynamic experience full of bounce, without any restricted movement.

The edge support is pretty strong, which maximizes the surface area of the bed without giving any unwanted roll-off sensation. And of course, the mattress produces zero noises, such as squeaks or creaks, allowing couples to enjoy their intimate moments.

For sex performance, the Puffy Monarch mattress scores a 5/5.

Pressure Relief

We used a pressure map to test and evaluate the mattress’s performance in providing pressure relief in sensitive areas of the body by displaying the pressure distribution. We observed the following results:

• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers experience excellent pressure distribution and comfort. The Puffy Monarch mattress is perfectly suited for them as it includes the Full-Body Pressure Relief layer that helps align the spine and allows them to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed with minimal discomfort.
• Side Sleepers: The Puffy Monarch mattress is a great choice for side sleepers as it consists of Enhanced Cushioning foam and Cloud Sculpting foam that both aim to contour your body and cradle your hips and shoulders which are common sensitive areas for side sleepers. This ensures they receive the needed level of cushioning and support for a comfortable sleep.
• Stomach Sleepers: For stomach sleepers, this mattress is considered acceptable regarding pressure relief. They tend to need more support in their midsection and lower back. With the Puffy Monarch, they may experience slight pressure in those areas, especially heavy sleepers.

The Puffy Monarch mattress scores a 4.7/5 for pressure relief performance.
