Puffy is a California-based mattress brand that produces all of its products in the US.

But are these mattresses worth investing in? Here we take a look at the brand's different options, how much they cost, and how to tell if they'd suit you or not.

Today's best Puffy Labor Day mattress deals
What is a Puffy mattress?
- Puffy’s mattresses use the brand’s Cooling Cloud tech to regulate heat
- Each mattress offers a plush, sink-in feel
- Puffy mattresses are made in the US
Puffy was founded in 2016, producing its first mattresses the following year. Its founder wanted to create a bed that gave sleepers the feeling of sleeping on a cloud, and created the brand’s trademarked Cooling Cloud technology to help with that aim. Cooling Cloud foam promises to give plenty of cushioning comfort, along with (yes) excellent cooling tech to prevent sleepers from overheating.
The brand originally made only the Puffy Cloud, which is an all-foam mattress, but has now expanded its range with three hybrid mattresses. These are the Puffy Lux, Puffy Royal and Puffy Monarch, with each model getting increasingly more luxurious.
Those that wake with aches and pains will be happy to hear that the Puffy Monarch and Puffy Cloud are also endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association.
What is a Puffy mattress like to sleep on?
- Puffy’s mattresses offer plenty of sink-in cushioning
- Mattresses are rated at between 5 and 7 out of 10
- Not all mattresses offer enough support in our view
The patented Puffy foam is the first thing you’ll notice about Puffy mattresses. It has plenty of that memory foam ‘hug’ that sleepers either love or hate, and while It’s not as contouring as a Tempur-Pedic mattress, for example, you get plenty of cushioning.
The memory foam is also gel-infused, and there’s a humidity-resistant climate comfort foam underneath to help keep sleepers cool. No Puffy mattress will compete with a proper cooling mattress in this department, but they do a good job of preventing most sleepers from overheating.
Importantly, I wouldn’t recommend the Puffy mattresses to sleepers who don’t enjoy a memory foam ‘hug’ – but I would recommend it if you're looking for one of the best memory foam mattresses for all sleepers craving a contouring, cradling bed. Even the hybrid mattresses have plenty of sink-in softness. In fact, when our testers slept on the Puffy Lux during our Puffy Lux mattress review, they found it so soft that the consensus was that the mattress would only suit lightweight side sleepers.
In contrast, though, our Puffy Royal mattress review found a far more supportive soft mattress that, while it’s ultra plush, still maintains plenty of support from the adaptive coils for side and back sleepers. Although we haven’t yet tested the Puffy Monarch mattress, its specs on paper mean I’d expect it to perform similarly to the Royal.
The Puffy Cloud is the brand’s all-foam mattress, with customers rating the mattress highly for pressure relief and a comfortable sleep for side and back sleepers. It’s also endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association, so expect the spine to be kept aligned in these sleeping positions.
How much does a Puffy mattress cost?
- Puffy’s mattresses are in the affordable to luxury price bracket
- The mattresses are never sold at full MSRP
- Labor Day sales take up to $1,350 off the price of a Puffy mattress
Puffy mattresses are always discounted, with discounts of between $750 and $1,350 over the stated MSRP being common. These represent some of the most generous discounts on the market, and you’ll also get a free bedding bundle consisting of pillows, sheets and a mattress protector with each purchase.
The Puffy Cloud is the brand’s cheapest mattress, with prices starting at $1,949 for a twin. The current Labor Day offer slashes this to an incredible $599, with a queen coming in at $1,049 (MSRP $2,399).
At the other end of the scale, the Puffy Monarch starts at $3,349 for a twin XL, although this again has a whopping discount taking it down to $1,999. A queen Monarch is $3,299 (MSRP $4,649). In between these two you’ll find the Puffy Lux and the Puffy Royal.
At the top end of the scale, these prices put the Puffy range in line with high-end Tempur-Pedic mattresses. As with Tempur-Pedic mattresses, the trial period is slightly disappointing at 101 nights, but you do get a lifetime warranty along with free shipping to your door.
Is Labor Day a good time to buy a Puffy Mattress?
- Black Friday is traditionally the best time to buy a new mattress
- Puffy offer generous discounts every month
- The current Labor Day offers are the highest the brand generally offer

Should you by a Puffy mattress this Labor Day?
Buy a Puffy mattress if...
✅ You sleep on your side or back: The soft cushioning of Puffy's signature foam and its pronounced ‘hug’ feel means these mattresses are ideal for side sleepers. Choose one of the firmer hybrids and it'll also prove a boon for back sleepers, keeping the spine aligned and hips lifted.
✅ You share your bed with a restless sleeper: Puffy mattresses do an excellent job of isolating movement, helping to prevent you being disturbed at night by a partner’s tossing and turning.
✅ You sleep warm: Despite the contouring and cushioning of these mattresses, temperature regulation is excellent, with the cooling foams doing a good job of keeping sleepers cool.
Don't buy a Puffy mattress if...
❌ You sleep on your front: The contouring of the foam in the Puffy mattresses means that front sleepers will find their hips dropping too far into the mattress for good spinal alignment.
❌ You’re of a heavier build: Like front sleepers, heavier bodies need a firmer surface to help stop them from sinking too far into the mattress. If you are of a heavier build, consider one of the best mattresses for heavy people instead.
❌ You’re on a budget: Even the cheapest Puffy mattress remains expensive. If you want all the bells and whistles of the Puffy Monarch, you’re looking at a serious investment piece.
