Comfort	Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience. 100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber. Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.	What makes Puffy the perfect bed? The secret is consistency. You can expect the same comfortable and supportive sleep year-round - regardless of the environment. Thanks to an additional layer to both Puffy models that is made of our ClimateComfort Foam, this foam provides high pressure-relieving capabilities across a broad range of temperature and humidity levels - making it resistant to the contraction and expansion that often occurs from extreme temperatures (often attributed to seasonal climate change). Specifically, it is designed to prevent contraction in the cold and expansion in the heat. Cooling Cloud Comfort Layer We've got the competition beat! Our patent pending Cooling Cloud Memory foam disperses heat away from your body using convection and conduction allowing for more effective airflow. Puffy's Gel Infused Foam increases airflow 8x more than standard foam mattresses that you can purchase online, leaving you cool, comfortable and well rested.
Support	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	The Puffy Mattress is not only comfortable, but it's also strong and durable. Puffy's 6" Firm Support Layer and its Insta-Firm technology provides 99% better responsiveness and four times the support of standard mattresses. In fact, Puffy will be the most supportive mattress you ever sleep on! The base layer is a polyurethane foam (non-latex) manufactured with our VPF. It is a full six inches and provides exceptional support and spinal alignment for restorative sleep.

What materials are used in a Birch mattress?
