Puffy Royal Mattress Review

Puffy is a popular online mattress company that offers a wide range of mattresses to meet different needs and budgets. The company was founded in 2016 and has quickly become one of the leading online mattress retailers in the United States.

Puffy mattresses are made with high-quality materials and offer a variety of features that make them a great choice for all types of sleepers. They offer four models: Puffy Cloud, Puffy Lux Hybrid, Puffy Royal, and Puffy Diamond. Their mattresses are known for their slow-moving memory foam, which makes for a "cloud-like" sleep.

The Puffy Royal features additional comfort layers compared to the other Puffy mattresses, including a layer of zoned polyfoam designed to add cooling and targeted support. In the support core, the mattress has a pocketed coil system that provides even support and minimizes motion transfer.

In this review, we will test the Puffy Royal mattress, specifically regarding:

• Pros and cons.
• Unboxing experience.
• Feel and comfort.
• Construction and design.
• Performance test results.
• Warranty policies, company policies, and all the FAQs you might want to know.

Puffy Royal Overview

Pros

• Warranty: Puffy provides a lifetime warranty for their Royal mattress, so you never have to worry about your bed succumbing to material or manufacturing defects. This is a major selling point for many people, as it gives them peace of mind knowing that their mattress is protected for the long term.
• US Made: The Puffy Royal is constructed entirely in the USA, a major selling point for those who want to enjoy the benefits of buying a mattress made in the United States. This means that the mattress is made with high-quality materials and construction techniques and that it supports American jobs.
• Luxurious: The Puffy Royal is considered a "royal" mattress because it is one of the most luxurious mattresses that Puffy offers. It has a medium-soft firmness level that is ideal for most sleepers, and it provides excellent pressure relief and support. The Puffy Royal is also made with high-quality materials, including CertiPUR-US certified foams and pocketed coils.
• Pressure Relief: The mattress’s combination of foams and coils creates a mattress that is soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough to provide support and pressure relief. This makes the Puffy Royal a great option for people who suffer from body pain.

Cons

• Price: The Puffy Royal is a bit more expensive than some other mattresses on the market. However, it is important to remember that it comes with a lifetime warranty, which can save you money in the long run.

Who we Recommend the Puffy Royal for

• Side sleepers: The Puffy Royal is a good option for side sleepers. The top layer of cooling gel memory foam conforms to the body and provides pressure relief, while the layer of supportive memory foam below it provides additional support for the hips and shoulders.
• If you like the hug of memory foam with a little responsiveness: The top layer of cooling gel memory foam conforms to the body, while the layer of supportive memory foam below it provides additional support. This combination of foams creates a mattress that is soft and comfortable but still provides enough support to prevent you from sinking too far into the mattress.
• If you want a thick, premium foam bed: The Puffy Royal is a thick, premium foam bed that provides excellent comfort and support. It is a good option for people who want a mattress that will last for many years.
• If you prefer a foam mattress but struggle with overheating: That is because the cooling gel memory foam in the top layer helps regulate temperature, so you won't wake up hot and sweaty.
• Sleepers who are sensitive to noise and movement: That is thanks to the individually pocketed coils in the mattress, which help reduce motion transfer, so you won't be disturbed by your partner's movements.

Unboxing the Puffy Royal

Setting up the Puffy Royal mattress is easy, even though unboxing a new mattress can be a hassle. The mattress comes in a compact box that is easy to transport for one person, but it weighs between 58 and 120 pounds, so it is recommended to have a friend help you move it, especially if you are moving it up or down stairs.

The Puffy Royal mattress is well protected during shipping thanks to its well-insulated box and layer of plastic wrap. This is important because mattresses can easily be damaged if they are not properly packed.

Once you get the box to your bedroom, remove the mattress from the box and unroll it onto your bed. The mattress will quickly expand to its full size of 14 inches in a matter of seconds, and you will be amazed at how big and comfortable it is.

You'll also notice how the edges of the mattress quickly expand to their fullest, confirming its excellent corner expansion.

One of the best things about the Puffy Royal mattress is that it does not have a strong chemical odor. This is a common complaint with other bed-in-a-box mattresses, but the Puffy Royal mattress is different. The mattress has a slight, non-irritating odor that dissipates within a few hours. This makes the unboxing experience much more pleasant.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Puffy Royal

Puffy Royal Firmness

There is no one-size-fits-all firmness. What feels firm to one person may feel soft to another because firmness is a subjective experience that is influenced by a variety of factors, including body weight, sleeping position, and personal preference.

The Puffy Royal mattress is advertised as an ultra-plush mattress, with a firmness rating of 5 on a scale of 1-10. However, according to most people, the Puffy Royal mattress is actually a medium-soft mattress. This means that it is soft enough to be comfortable for side sleepers, but it still provides enough support for back and stomach sleepers.

Puffy Royal Feel

The Puffy Royal mattress cover is made from a soft, breathable, and luxurious fabric that feels cool and refreshing against the skin. When you first touch it, you'll notice that it's soft and smooth, like a cloud. The quilting helps to keep the fabric cool and refreshing.

When we lie down on the Puffy Royal mattress, we immediately feel the soft, doughy memory foam conforming to our bodies. The memory foam feels cool and refreshing against our skin, and it provides instant pressure relief for our shoulders, hips, and backs. We can feel the coils underneath the memory foam, providing additional support.

Puffy Royal Comfort

We put the Puffy Royal mattress to the test in a variety of sleeping positions, and we were impressed with its performance. Our reviewers, who have different weights and sleep in different positions, found the mattress to be comfortable and supportive.

Here is some specific feedback from our reviewers:

• Stomach sleeper (200 lbs): "I'm a stomach sleeper, and I found the Puffy Royal to be too soft for me. I felt like I was sinking into the mattress too much. I would prefer a firmer mattress like the Puffy Lux Hybrid."
• Side sleeper (130 lbs): "I'm a side sleeper, and I was worried that the Puffy Royal would be too soft for me. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually very comfortable. The memory foam conforms to my body and provides excellent pressure relief. I wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free."
• Back sleeper (150 lbs): "I'm a back sleeper, and I need a mattress that is firm enough to support my spine. The Puffy Royal is the perfect balance of soft and firm. It's comfortable enough to sleep on all night, but it still provides enough support to keep my spine aligned."

The pressure relief will be tested in more detail in our performance testing section.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Puffy Royal mattress is a 14-inch thick hybrid mattress made with CertiPUR-US® certified foams and a luxurious 7-layer design. It includes a mixture of breathable coils and CertiPUR-US certified foam that delivers support while creating a deluxe, soft feeling.

Layers

1. Cloud Cover: This stain-resistant, breathable cover helps keep the mattress cool and fresh. It is also machine washable and has a unique cloud design.
2. Cooling Foam: This 1.5-inch layer of memory foam is infused with cooling gel to help keep you cool and comfortable at night. The gel helps to draw heat away from your body, so you don't get too hot while you sleep.
3. Reflexive Memory Foam: This 1.5-inch layer of memory foam conforms to your body to provide pressure relief and support. It helps to align your spine and reduce pain in your shoulders, hips, and back.
4. Climate Comfort™ Foam: This 2-inch support layer of premium foam is denser than the memory foam above it and helps provide pressure relief while also removing moisture. It helps to keep the mattress cool and dry, so you can sleep comfortably all night long.
5. Cloud Air Technology Foam: This 2-inch polyfoam layer provides zoned support for minimal strain on your muscles and maximum recovery throughout the night. It is designed to provide different levels of support for different parts of your body, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.
6. Innerspring Layer: The base layer of the mattress consists of 7-inch high-density foam and individually wrapped coils that help reduce motion transfer and create strong edge support. The coils help to absorb movement, so you won't be disturbed by your partner's tossing and turning. The high-density foam provides a firm foundation for the mattress and helps prevent it from sagging over time.
7. Grip Base Cover: This grip base cover ensures the mattress doesn't shift while you move around at night. It helps keep the mattress in place and prevents it from sliding around on your bed frame.

Performance of Puffy Royal

Cooling

The Puffy Royal mattress is designed to sleep cooler than other mattresses that incorporate thick foam layers. It does this by using a cooling foam layer that is infused with gel beads, a Cloud Air polyfoam layer that is aerated to increase airflow, and a quilted cover that is made from a moisture-wicking fabric.

We put the Puffy Royal mattress to the test for its cooling performance by lying on it for 20 minutes and observing how well it kept us cool.

In our cooling performance test, we found that the Puffy Royal mattress did a good job of keeping us cool. We felt the cool, soft fabric of the cover against our skin in the first few minutes. As we lay there, we felt the mattress conform to our bodies, which may trap some heat for heavier sleepers. However, we didn't feel any hot spots or areas of discomfort. After 20 minutes, we felt refreshed and cool.

Overall, we found that the Puffy Royal mattress is a good choice for hot sleepers. However, sleepers who struggle with overheating may prefer to look for a mattress that contours less closely and allows more room for heat to escape. So we give it a 4/5 for its cooling performance.

Responsiveness

Memory foam mattresses tend to conform closely to the body and form impressions that can take several seconds to bounce back. This can make it difficult to move around and can make sleepers feel as though they are sinking into the bed.

The Puffy Royal mattress is a hybrid mattress, which means that it has a layer of memory foam on top of a layer of coils. The coils help to add some springiness to the mattress and make it easier to move around.

We tested the responsiveness of the Puffy Royal mattress by placing a 20-pound ball on the mattress and waiting for a few seconds for the ball to sink in. Then, we removed the ball and measured how long it took for the mattress to fully recover its shape.

The mattress fully recovered in about 1 second, which is an above-average score for a mattress containing memory foam. This means that the mattress is responsive enough to allow you to move around comfortably without feeling stuck in place.

Overall, we rated the Puffy Royal mattress a 4.5/5 regarding responsiveness. It is a responsive mattress that is still comfortable enough to sleep on for long periods of time.

Motion Isolation

The Puffy Royal mattress offers excellent motion isolation for a hybrid mattress. This is due to the memory foam layers in the mattress, which absorb movement and minimize nighttime disruptions.

In our tests, we found that the Puffy Royal mattress did a very good job of minimizing motion transfer. We placed a glass of water on top of the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side. The water did not move or slosh around during the test, which indicates the mattress's ability to absorb motion.

In another test, 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 did not feel any movement on the side of the mattress.

These two tests demonstrate that the Puffy Royal mattress has excellent motion isolation. This is why we gave this mattress a 5/5 regarding motion isolation.

Edge Support

The Puffy Royal mattress has good edge support, but it may not be sufficient for everyone. The plush foams in the mattress compress more easily than the coils, which can cause the mattress to sag and feel unstable at the edges.

We tested the edge support of the Puffy Royal by applying firm pressure to the edges and monitoring for counterpressure. We felt sufficient counterpressure from the layers, and the edges did spring back into shape when we removed the pressure but slowly

When we sat on the edges of the mattress, we felt our weight sink in and cause a slight dip. This is not a major issue for most people, but it may be uncomfortable for people who weigh more than 250 pounds or who frequently sit or sleep on the edge of the bed.

Overall, the Puffy Royal is so fluffy and soft that its edge support is not as great as the edge support we’ve seen in other hybrid beds. The innerspring coils in this mattress offer a bit of support, but some individuals may still feel unstable when sitting or lying along the edge of the bed. Therefore, we gave it a 4.3/5 for edge support.

Noise

The Puffy Royal mattress is designed to be silent. It uses a combination of memory foam and pocketed coils, which helps reduce noise levels. The memory foam absorbs movement, and the pocketed coils move independently of each other, which helps to prevent squeaking and other noises.

We conducted a noise test on the Puffy Royal mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball onto it. We used highly sensitive microphones to listen for any squeaks or noises, but we didn't hear anything. The only sound we heard was the typical thud that a drop makes on any surface.

This means that the Puffy Royal mattress is very quiet, even when you move around on it. We rated the Puffy Royal mattress 5/5 for noise.

Sex

The Puffy Royal mattress is a good mattress for sex because it has a comfortable and supportive feel. The memory foam layers provide traction so you don't slide around, and the coil system provides a little extra bounce for some couples. The edge support is also decent, so you can make full use of the bed. However, the softer feel may cause some couples to sink during sex, which can limit movements.

Overall, the Puffy Royal mattress is a good mattress for sex and got a 4.7/5 in this category.

Pressure Relief

The Puffy Royal mattress is designed to provide good pressure relief. The top layer of memory foam is soft and plush, which helps it conform to your body and relieve pressure points. The layers of foam and coils below the memory foam provide support and help prevent you from sinking too far into the mattress.

We conducted a pressure relief test on the Puffy Royal mattress by using a pressure mapping system to measure the amount of pressure on different parts of the body when lying on the mattress. The results of the test showed that the Puffy Royal mattress provided good pressure relief in all areas of the body, with the exception of the hips.

The pressure map below shows the results of the pressure relief test. The blue areas show low pressure, and the red areas show high pressure.

As you can see from the pressure map, the Puffy Royal mattress provided good pressure relief in the shoulders and lower back. However, the hips were slightly more compressed, which could cause discomfort for some heavier people. So we gave this mattress a 4.9/5 for pressure relief.
