Comfort	The only smart mattress with advanced cooling and heating technology designed to help you fall asleep faster and keep you asleep.	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	Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating. Independently set each side of the bed to anywhere between 55°F-110°F. Schedule on and off times from the Eight Sleep app. Advanced Sleep Tracking. Individual sleep tracking on each bed side, supporting two sleepers. Metrics include sleep stages, sleep time, toss and turns, and more.	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.

FAQs

Eight the Pod

Is the Eight Sleep Pod loud?

The Eight Sleep Pod operates very quietly. Even when the Hub is adjusting the water temperature in the mattress, it only produces a soft whirring sound.

How does the Eight Sleep Pod work?

The Eight Sleep Pod Pro's Hub functions as a computer and pump. It cools and heats the water in the mattress's Active Grid. The temperature of the mattress can be controlled via the Eight Sleep app.

How firm is the Eight Sleep Pod?

The Eight Sleep Pod is considered to be of "medium-firm" level. It is best suited for stomach, back, and combination sleepers.

Puffy

Is puffy mattress healthy?

Yes, all Puffy mattress foams are CertiPUR-US® certified. Each foam layer is independently tested in a lab to meet the highest global foam safety and quality standards. It's been thoroughly tested to ensure it doesn't contain harmful chemicals.

How do you clean a Puffy mattress?

The Puffy Cloud Mattress is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Its Cloud Cover, which is stain-resistant, features a zip-n-wash design and can be spot cleaned using mild detergents or other gentle household cleaning products. To maintain freshness, the Puffy Signature Mattress Protector, which is waterproof and comes free with any mattress purchase, can be used. It offers comfort akin to a cloud and is made of premium cooling materials.

Does the Puffy Mattress sag?

Like many all-foam beds, it may start to sag earlier than a mattress that includes innerspring support. However, Puffy offers a lifetime warranty on this mattress, so if your old Puffy mattress starts to sag you may be able to replace it for free!
