How is Puffy Lux Hybrid Different?

The Puffy Lux Hybrid is a 12.00″ memory foam hybrid mattress with an overall performance level that is better than average and a price tag that is below average ($276 less than the average memory foam hybrid we’ve tested). If you’re looking for a good value, this is the balance we like to see.

Advantages

In addition to the lower price, other advantages include better cooling performance, lower levels of motion transfer, and exceptional pressure relief. Despite only being 12″ thick, the Puffy Luxe Hybrid has a 5.50″ comfort layer, which is over 1.0″ thicker than average.

Neutral Factors

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has very deep sinkage and very low bounce. If you like a floating feel or want to sleep “on” the mattress, this is likely not the right feel for you. But if you’re looking for dramatic body hug and contour and want a more encompassing feel, the Puffy Lux may be just what you’re looking for.

Disadvantages

The response time is a bit slower on this mattress. In addition, the mattress has weaker edge support and a below-average sex score. The worse sex score is largely a by-product of the lower levels of bounce, which may not be a disadvantage if you specifically prefer mattresses with less bounce.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has excellent cooling. During our tests, I did not feel any significant level of heat retention around my body. While this mattress is far from a miracle worker when it comes to cooling, it’s still a solid performer.

First up, we have the hybrid design, which brings plenty of airflow into the mattress. In addition, we have a thin quilted cover, which also allows air to flow more easily through the top layers.

• Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
• Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
• Ending Temperature (5 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes

The topmost memory foam layer is infused with gel, which helps to pull heat away from the surface of the mattress. These material design choices are helping to improve cooling performance.

In our objective temperature tests, we measured a max surface level temperature of 91.3° F. This is 1.0° warmer than the average of 90.3° F, based on all of our tests to date.

After getting off the mattress, the temperature declined by 5.6 degrees from minutes 0 to 1, which is 0.8 degrees cooler than the average 0 to 1 minute decline of 4.8 degrees.

When we consider the combination of objective data, my subjective experiences, and an analysis of the materials, I’m confident in my view that cooling is excellent.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has very deep sinkage. During our tests, we measured a pressure point sinkage depth of 2.79″. This is 0.54″ more sinkage than the average sinkage depth of 2.25″, based on all of our tests to date.

The mattress creates a dramatic body-contouring hug.

The level of sinkage is documented in the image below.

This mattress allows the body to really sink deeply into it. Once you’re “in” the mattress, you’ll feel the memory foam layers creating a more exacting and significant hugging sensation around the body.

This is a typical feel for many memory foam and memory foam hybrid mattresses. This feel is not bad or bad, but it is a more specific feel, one you’ll need to enjoy to be comfortable on this mattress.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has a low level of motion transfer. During our tests, we measured a total acceleration range of 8.21 m/s². This is 6% less motion transfer than the average of 8.77 m/s².

Mattresses that contain thick memory foam layers typically do well with motion transfer and that’s exactly what we measured here as well.

The memory foam does a nice job of mitigating, absorbing, and dispersing energy. This means that the mattress creates less bounce. With less bounce on a mattress, there is less motion transfer that needs to be dispersed.

The level of motion transfer is also documented in the video below.

In our motion transfer chart, which visualizes our accelerometer data, we can see the highest motion peaks from 0 to 0.2 seconds.

Motion drops off notably thereafter. By 0.82 seconds, we’ve returned to near-zero levels of energy, which is 0.08 seconds shorter than the average motion duration of 0.90 seconds.

When we look at the complete motion picture, we see that both motion duration and motion intensity are slightly better than average. Overall, motion transfer is low, and I expect most sleepers will find it more than satisfactory.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid is a mixed bag for material responsiveness, with a fast mostly recovered response time and a moderate fully recovered response time.

In our mostly recovered test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.4 seconds, which is 0.02 seconds faster than the average of 0.42 seconds, based on all of our tests to date.

In our fully recovered responsiveness test, we measured a recovery speed of 1.1 seconds, which is 0.08 seconds slower than the average of 1.02 seconds.

Most of the materials within the mattress, including the poly foam and coils, spring back to shape quickly.

The level of responsiveness is documented in the video below.

These materials are helping to deliver the fast mostly recovered response time. However, the memory foam layer, while faster than some memory foams we’ve tested, is also far from instant.

The memory foam slows down the total material recovery speed and, as such, negatively impacts ease of movement. All that said, while the recovery speeds aren’t perfect, they aren’t slow either.

While some sensitive sleepers may find them a bit too slow, I expect most sleepers will find these material recovery speeds satisfactory.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has a very low level of bounce. During our tests, we measured a total bounce height of 5.99″. This is 2.66″ less bounce than the average of 8.65″, based on all of our tests to date.

The thick comfort layer, but especially the 2.0” thick memory foam layer, is absorbing and dispersing a significant amount of energy.

As a result, there is less energy that can be returned as bounce.

The level of bounce is also documented in the video below.

The lower bounce negatively impacts ease of movement and sex performance. That said, a lower bounce is a major reason why motion transfer is also lower.

As such, it’s worth considering what’s more important to you. Lower motion transfer? Or sex and ease of movement?

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has good sitting edge support and good lying edge support.

In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 4.00″. This is 0.15″ more sitting sinkage than the average of 3.85″, based on all of our tests to date.

The level of edge support while seated is documented in the images below.

While lying directly on the edge of the mattress, I felt that the support was good in all sleeping positions. This mattress is equipped with a full perimeter of support foam. Said foam is 3.5” wide and 5.5” tall.

While this is a good width, it’s also on the thinner side compared to many others we’ve tested.

Certainly, the edge support foam is helping, and yet, it alone isn’t enough to push the Puffy Lux Hybrid into the excellent or outstanding level of edge support performance.

The level of edge support while lying is documented in the images below.

We often see memory foam and memory foam hybrid mattresses struggling more with edge support, and that’s the case here as well. The memory foam creates a slight weakening of support along the side.

The memory foam wants to fully contour to the body, but along the edge, there isn’t enough foam to fully conform to the body and also maintain a strong supportive edge.

All factors considered, edge support leaves something to be desired.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has fair sex performance. First, let’s go over the positives. We have minimal noise, outstanding pressure relief, and excellent cooling. The mattress is comfortable and quiet.

With middling performance, we have edge support, which earned a good score and measured 4.00” of sitting sinkage compression.

This is slightly worse than average, but still enough to create good enough edge support for most people. A more supportive edge extends the usable surface area and is beneficial for amorous activities.

Sex Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Rating
Bounce	65%	6.2	Low
Edge Support	20%	8.8	Good
Noise	5%	10	Minimal
Pressure Relief	5%	10	Outstanding
Cooling	5%	9.0	Excellent

Lastly, we need to talk about the negative, which is bounce. We measured bounce at 5.99”. This is significantly less bounce than average. Less bounce makes sex more strenuous and more tiresome.

Given the critical importance of bounce for sex, having less bounce dramatically hurts the overall score and we see the Puffy Lux Hybrid earning a significantly lower sex score than average.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has an outstanding level of pressure relief. During our tests, I felt no significant pressure points on my body.

The mattress is equipped with 5.5″ of comfort material, which is 1.15″ more comfort material than the average comfort layer thickness of 4.35″, based on all of our tests to date.

The combination of a thicker-than-average comfort layer, memory foam, poly foam, and a considerably thick quilted cover creates fantastic comfort for the body. The mattress creates a deeper level of sinkage, which is especially good for side sleepers.

Some back and stomach sleepers may also enjoy it, but you’ll want to be sure you enjoy more sinkage and the memory foam feel. The memory foam creates a more dramatic and exacting body contouring hug.

This feel can help to alleviate pressure points for many, but for some it can also feel a bit constricting.

To be fair, this isn’t a problem with Puffy Lux Hybrid specifically, but rather with many memory foam mattresses. In our objective pressure mapping tests, we measured a max PSI of 0.64, which is within the max 1.0 PSI threshold that I ideally want to see all mattresses within.

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Side Sleepers	0.10	0.64

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Back Sleepers	0.06	0.37

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Stomach Sleepers	0.07	0.27

When I consider our objective pressure mapping tests, material thickness, material quality, and my subjective experience on the mattress, I’m confident most sleepers will find the pressure relief to be outstanding.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid had a strong smell upon the initial unboxing. The mattress smelled for 7 days. This is 0.6 days shorter than the average smell duration of 7.6 days.

Puffy mattresses come with a 365-night trial period and a lifetime warranty. Shipping and returns are both free.

Company Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Data
Returns	40%	10	$0
Trial Period	30%	10	365 nights
Warranty	20%	10	Lifetime

Comparing 118+ brands tested to date, the average trial period is 193 nights, 172 nights less than Puffy offers. The Puffy is also backed by a lifetime warranty. Looking at all mattresses tested to date, only 40% offer lifetime warranties.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid is only available in a single firmness option, which they call “Medium-Plush.” We describe it as a medium feel, which falls at a 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale where 10 is the most firm.

Support on the Puffy Lux Hybrid is excellent. During our tests, I felt well supported in all sleeping positions. The mattress is equipped with a 6.5″ support layer. This is 1.45″ thinner than the average support layer thickness of 7.95″, based on all of our tests to date.

Reinforced Edge	Yes

Mattresses that create the best support are able to meet two major requirements. First up, they create a neutral spinal alignment and fully support the body. And second, they create sufficient comfort and pressure relief. Puffy Lux Hybrid met both of these requirements with no issues.

This mattress is available in a single firmness—medium. That’s a 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale. A medium feel works well for most sleepers, sleeping positions, and body types. That said, it’s especially good for side sleepers.

Check out the table below to see the sleeper weights and sleeping positions that would be best suited for this mattress.

Sleeper Weight	Stomach Sleeper	Side Sleeper	Back Sleeper
Under 150 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
150-250 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
250-300 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes

In all mattress tests, we make it a point to cut the mattress open to examine the material quality. In doing so, we found the material quality a bit disappointing. Foam density for poly foam ranged from 1.52 to 1.82 PCF, which is definitely on the low side.

The memory foam density measured at 2.24 PCF, which is also on the low side for memory foam. The one silver lining was the coil gauge, which we measured at a 14.5 gauge. This is a relatively thick wire.

While I found the mattress to be both incredibly comfortable and supportive, I am worried that it may struggle more with durability. Foams at these density levels are not ideally what I want to see. Typically, denser foams last longer, sag less, and perform better.

Based on all of my tests to date, an analysis of the materials, and my subjective experiences, I’m confident most sleepers will find support on the Puffy Lux Hybrid is excellent.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid is a 12.00″ memory foam hybrid mattress that comes in a single firmness option—Medium.

Within the Puffy collection, the Lux Hybrid is a value-priced, mid-tier option. If you’re specifically looking for a hybrid, this is the most affordable option in the Puffy lineup.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid is 12.00″ thick and contains a combination of different foam types and coils as well. From top to bottom, here is a full list of the materials used in this mattress:

Layer Type	Thickness	Manufacturer’s Specs	Tested Specs
Quilted Cover	1.75″	Not Available	1.52 PCF
Memory Foam	2.00″	Not Available	2.24 PCF
Poly Foam	1.75″	Not Available	1.65 PCF
Pocketed Coils (Interior), Poly Foam (Edge)	5.50″	Not Available	14.5 Gauge, 1.80 PCF
Support Foam	1.00″	Not Available	1.82 PCF

The Puffy Lux Hybrid has a 1.75″ quilted cover. There is a micro-scalloped stitching pattern and a fabric integrated with Tencel, for improved cooling performance.

It is made from a blend of polyester, Tencel Rayon, polyester-celliant, and a small amount of elastane (aka Spandex), which gives the cover its stretch.

The comfort layer is 5.50″ thick, including the quilted cover. Beneath the cover, there are three layers of foam. Directly below the cover is a 2.0″ gel-infused memory foam followed by a 1.75″ poly foam.

The support layer is 6.50″ thick and made of a 5.5″ pocketed coils and a 1.0″ support foam base. These two layers combine to create the full support dynamic on this mattress.

Product Evolution

The Puffy Lux began as an all-foam mattress back in 2018. In 2021, Puffy expanded the Lux collection to include the Puffy Lux Hybrid.

In February 2024, Puffy updated the mattress design, which previously contained fiberglass. As of February 2024, the Lux no longer contains fiberglass. Instead, Puffy uses wool and viscose fiber for the fire barrier.

We have tested three versions of the Puffy Lux, one in 2022, 2024, and 2026. You can see how these 3 versions compared below:

Specs	Puffy Lux (2022)	Puffy Lux (2024)	Puffy Lux (2026)
Thickness	13.0″	11.5″	12.0″
Cover	Thin cover, removable	0.5″ quilted cover	1.75″ quilted cover
Comfort Layer	1.5″ poly foam 1.5″ poly foam 2.0″ poly foam	2.0” gel memory foam 2.0” poly foam	2.0″ memory foam 1.75″ poly foam
Support Layer	7.0″ pocketed coils 1.0″ support foam	6.0” pocketed coils 1.0” support foam	5.5″ pocketed coils 1.0″ support foam
Firmness	5 out of 10 (Medium)	5.5 out of 10 (Medium)	5 out of 10 (Medium)
Contains Fiberglass?	Yes	No	No
Overall Score	8.90	8.62	8.90

Notable changes between the 2022 and 2024 versions include:

• Thinner overall profile (11.5″ compared to 13.0″ original thickness)
• The addition of memory foam into the comfort layer
• Mattress no longer contains fiberglass
• Cover is no longer removable
• Overall score went down slightly

In April 2026, Puffy made another round of updates to include an updated gusset design and cooling cover. Puffy updated the cover on the Puffy Lux to have a charcoal velvet fabric with a vertical stitch quilted pattern.

The new cover includes Celliant and Tencel, with the exact composition breaking down as 60% polyester, 25% Tencel, 14% Celliant, and 1% elastic. 

In addition, we see the total height of the mattress is increased by 0.5″. This increase came from multiple factors, with the quilted cover increasing from 0.5″ to 1.75″, but losing 0.25″ of poly foam in the core and losing 0.5″ of height on the pocketed coil unit.

When we look at the overall score from the 2024 version compared to the current version we see a notable improvement in performance.
