Are Puffy Mattresses Worth It?

Derek Hales

Updated

The Puffy Cloud and Puffy Lux are most likely to be considered “worth it”, based on a simple assessment of price and performance. The Puffy Royal and Puffy Monarch do not have as favorable an assessment, but they may be considered worth it, based on preferential factors.

Puffy Cloud8.87Top 27%$94935% less expensive than the average mattress
Puffy Lux8.62Top 47%$1,3995% less expensive than the average mattress
Puffy Royal8.66Top 48%$2,29957% more expensive than the average mattress
Puffy Monarch8.23Bottom 44%$3,299118% more expensive than the average mattress

As this table shows, price is not improving overall performance as we go from $949 to $3,299. Starting with the Puffy Royal, there is a considerably higher price for seemingly worse performance in most categories.

The number one thing you should consider if Puffy models are worth it to you is how much you prefer a thick mattress with a plush feel. Where these more expensive models start lacking in response time, motion transfer, and off-gassing, they make up for it with a more luxurious, deeper feel.

Side sleepers might especially value this type of design and bring the Royal and Monarch into the realm of “worth it” to them.
