Generally, no. Puffy mattresses have good to excellent cooling performance, based on our objective and data-driven testing experience (cooling score between 8-9 out of 10).
Their models use up to 8.00″ of comfort foam, which can be the primary driver of heat retention (and ultimately worse cooling performance) among all mattresses we’ve tested.
That said, the cooling fibers sewn into their quilted covers and hybrid coil units help offset the thicker foam layers.

Three of the four Puffy models we’ve tested are hybrid designs, but the Puffy Cloud is an all-foam model that lacks the added airflow provided by a coil unit. However, at only 10″ thick, there is less material available to retain heat, and the basic design provides better-than-average cooling.
Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.

Puffy Monarch
Even the thickest model in the Puffy mattress lineup managed to reach the lowest ending temperature. This is evidence to support the effectiveness of their design and the added cooling material in the more expensive tiers. The Monarch also benefits from breathable latex foam in its top layers with holes for added breathability.
All that said, none of these Puffy mattresses received the highest possible cooling score, and this is primarily due to the deep level of sinkage that envelops your body with memory foam.
