| Comfort | Uniquely pressure relieving, we use Memory Plus Foam - a special Helix blend. | 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 ClimateComfortย 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 Cloudย 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 | Specially designed using a Memory Plus Foam pressure relief layer to cushion your pressure points as a side sleeper. Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you the right amount of support based on your body type. High-Grade Polyfoam. Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type. Wrapped Coils. Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer. Edge Support. Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options. | 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. |
