Puffy Lux Mattress Review: 60+ Night Review

You’re in need of a good night’s sleep. But who isn’t? According to the CDC 1 in 3 adults Americans struggle every night to get a restful sleep that has them waking up feeling refreshed and pardon the cliche, ready to tackle the day. While there are a number of factors that contribute to this, one is most certainly no larger than an excellent mattress.
Puffy Lux Mattress
The Puffy Lux looks luxurious.
In fact, lack of sleep can lead to many problems, including lack of concentration, depression, listfullness, speech impairment and many more. So keep reading my Puffy Lux Mattress review and discover how you can improve your sleep.
Pros:
  • Free 101 night sleep test + money-back guarantee
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Machine washable stain-resistant cover
  • Cloud Gel Mattress Layer (aka cooling cloud foam) is designed to keep you cool
Cons:
  • Only ideal for small to medium-sized builds – not a mattress for heavy people (250/300lbs+)
  • Like all foam mattress, it can require two people to unbox

Quick Facts About Puffy Beds Lux Mattress

  • Both models are all-foam, memory foam. The Lux model (luxury mattress model), though, uses one additional layer of foam, perhaps called a mattress topper. This means it’s 2″ thicker than the original Puffy mattress.
  • This is considered a “firm mattress”
  • Free delivery and returns
  • Works on an adjustable bed, slatted, flat frames, box springs

Shipping and Delivery

Puffy is a bed in a box. If you’re not familiar with the category – it’s likely you are if you’re reading this review – it’s one that was pioneered by Casper. Unlike a traditional mattress experience, which requires you to visit a store and have the mattress delivered, the bed in a box is just that; a box in a bed that is delivered by FedEx or UPS.
That in mind, the Puffy Lux will arrive at your door in a box that measures 42″ high and 19″ wide. The queen-size (the size I reviewed) weighs 75lbs (you can see all their mattress weights here – the twin xl weighs 50lbs), so if you’re not a strapping young lad (or lady) you might need a friend or partner to help you with the unboxing. In fact, I suggest you have someone help you, so you don’t pull a muscle before you get a good nights rest. Wouldn’t that be ironic?

Unboxing and Installation of the Puffy Lux

Unboxing the Puffy is simple. Remove it from the box by opening one end, lay its contents down on the box spring and begin to carefully remove the plastic wrap. Don’t use a box cutter as you could slice open the mattress and damage it. I’d recommend a pair of scissors or your hands. Though you’ll probably need some sort of tool to assist with removing the commercial-grade plastic wrap.
Puffy Box
The Puffy Box measures 42″ by 19″.
Once you’ve removed all the plastic – which will take about 5 minutes of your time –  the mattress will begin to unfold. Next, you’ll want to position it into its place and then let it expand. This is where the magic happens. Because the Puffy Lux is made of multiple layers of foam it will need some time to uncompress. When shipped from the factory they’re squished and compressed to fit in a box, hence how they’re able to send you a mattress in “the mail”.
This process takes a matter of 10 minutes. And means the mattress can be used almost instantly.

Puffy Lux Mattress Material and Smell

Now, I’d imagine you’re probably wondering about the smell of this mattress. After all, it’s made in a factory and contains multiple layers of foam. So does it smell, like some other mattresses in a box? The answer: NO.
Unlike Casper vs Puffy – the latter I tested a number of years ago –  there doesn’t seem to be any off gassing with this mattress. It tested this by sticking my nose right on top of the mattress and then inhaling as soon as I unboxed it. I then left it for 2 hours and returned to the room, with no windows open mind you, and also took in a big deep breath. Still no smell.
Unboxing Puffy Mattress
Unboxing Puffy Mattress – get some help and don’t use a knife.
This actually was a relief since many beds in a box do gas off and can be a problem for those that are sensitive to smells and odors.

Puffy Heat Retention and Cooling

Now, if you didn’t know, temperature is a large variable in getting a good night’s sleep. If too hot, or too cold you can be woken up. Often with these types of mattresses that are made of memory foam or a dense substance, they can cause overheating. I’ve experienced this in traditional mattresses as well as my nightly sleeper, a $3k Tempur Pedic. So no mattress is perfect as by function they must retain energy in order to be supportive.
The Puffy Lux Mattress performs admirably well in this department thanks to something they call ClimateComfort, which in some respects makes it temperature neutral. I slept on it during both warm and cool nights. It is cooler or better at dispersing heating then my Tempur Pedic and kept my body – I tend to run a bit warm at night – cooler throughout the night, even on a hot night where my bedroom reached the low to mid-70s Fahrenheit. I, of course, adjusted my top layer (a weighted blanket or a sheet) in accordance with the room temperature but that’s a variable we can all control for. I suggest you do the same.
On the cooler nights, where my bedroom runs below 70 degrees F, I also found that I was evenly matched to my top layer, remaining warm and a consistent temperature throughout the night. In short, it’s a solid mattress if you’re a hot sleeper.

Partner Sleeping Experience with the Puffy Mattress

I sleep with a partner each and every night. My partner rises before me and sleeps before me. So how does the Puffy Mattress do with another person on board?
We tested a queen and like most memory foam like mattresses, the Puffy performed with excellent marks. Because there are no springs and thus no motion transfer, partner movement isn’t felt and there is excellent motion isolation. This account for both tossing and turning (movement while sleeping) or getting out of bed.
Puffy Lux Before
Once you remove the final plastic layer, the Puffy Lux will expand.
Conversely, a traditional spring-based mattress will resonate the person’s movement, even if they’re individual coils. This is because below the top mattress surface are a set of metal coils (also known as an innerspring mattress). And metal, or springs, in this case, are good at reverberating energy.

Back and Body Support + Sleep Positions

Next on the list of assessments in the inevitable: back and general body support (aka pressure relief). This is paramount to not only sleeping through the night but also waking up and feeling rested. A poor mattress, or in this case one that lacks support, will have your body and its muscle feeling tired the next day. Worse you might be experiencing back, neck, hip or shoulder problems.
The Puffy Lux, thanks to its material and design – especially Body Adapting Dual Cloud foam Layer – had me feeling well-rested and zero back, hip or neck pains, which I tend to suffer from when I visit some hotels with a traditional mattress and often change positions. Though somtimes the latter could be attributed to a foam pillow. This was the case after 2 nights and even 30 nights – just in case you’re wondering if I managed to get past the acclimation period of the new mattress.
For those that back sleep,  side sleep or prefer a mattress for stomach sleepers (aka combination sleepers) you should find that the Puffy Lux is an excellent choice. For back sleepers, and those that never have slept on a memory foam mattress, note that it will take some getting used to. You might feel some difference in your lower back as the Puffy Lux will adhere or mold to your body differently than a traditional mattress. This is perfectly normal, in my opinion.
Side sleepers shouldn’t notice as much of a difference if you’re transitioning from a traditional spring mattress to the Puffy Lux. Though it will feel unsettling – this applies to back sleepers – when you first lay on the Puffy Lux, as you’ll think it’s softer than it should be. Worry not as this is normal and the mattress will feel supportive within seconds as the supportive nature of the material kicks in; first you’ll sick and then it should feel comfortably firm thanks in part to its firm core.

Puffy Lux Mattress Wrap Up

At $1,495 (with a $300 mattress coupon), the Puffy Lux is on the pricier side compared to some competitors. However, the amount of research (4 years) that went into this, plus just overall comfort and support that I experienced, I think it’s well worth it.
To that end, it’s virtually impossible to put a price on sleep. Yeah, I know, it’s a fairly trite thing to say. But you spend a good chunk of your life sleeping – 1/3 if you avg 8-hours a day, though they say 7 is enough – you’re best to make the investment. And don’t forget that you’re protected by the 101 night trial period, money-back guarantee. Plus there are few bed in a boxes that offer a lifetime guarantee, and a removable mattress cover which serves as a mattress pad to a degree.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 was an important device, changing Samsung's focus and shifting to a better design outlook. It laid the groundwork for the fantastic S7 and possibly the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8.
Samsung will also update the S6 to Android 7.0 Nougat in the coming months, giving your phone a new lease of life. Considering it still has a great screen and camera, there's still a lot to like about this phone. Read on for our original full review.

WHAT IS THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S6?

One of the finest phones of the year, we recently gave the Samsung Galaxy S6 – and its curvier S6 Edge cousin – the Trusted Reviews Smartphone of the Year award.
Thanks to a more affordable price, the S6 is still one of the best Android phones you can buy right now. It's got a sharp screen, stunning camera, slick build and it's a lot more compact than most other similarly specced phones on the market.
If the S6 Edge+ is simply too big for you and you're not keen on going over to IOS with the iPhone 6S, the Galaxy S6 is a great choice.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 – DESIGN

Metal chassis; Gorilla Glass 4 rear; 142 x 70 x 7mm; 132g; Home button; Soft keys
Samsung has managed to make the Galaxy S6 a great-looking phone. The Galaxy S6 Edge is arguably the more stylish of the two, but you only need to spend more for it if you really want to. Smooth Gorilla Glass 4 front and rear, and aluminium alloy bands on the sides, means looks and feels like flagship phone. Unlike last year’s S5, the S6 feels like it’s worth over £500/$684.99. That’s important.

S6 colours

Less successful are some of the colour options, though. The "jewel tones" – as Samsung calls them – include White Pearl, Gold Platinum, Black Sapphire, Blue Topaz and Green Emerald. The brighter colours also tend to be fingerprint magnets so keep a spare cloth handy if you opt for one of those.
Some finishes have a slight dual tonality to them, so they appear to change colour depending on how the light shines on them. The effect is more subtle than the pink/gold combo on the HTC M9, but it can still look a little tacky, particularly in Blue Topaz and Gold Platinum.

The phone is light but still feels solid, and it’s slimmer than the Galaxy S5. In fact, despite its large 5.1-inch screen, it doesn’t feel that much chunkier or clumsier than the dinky, 4-inch iPhone 5S. Thin metal volume and power keys live on opposite sides, which helps avoid accidentally pressing power key as we experienced with the HTC One M9.
One move that doesn’t work so well is the speaker placement. It now sits awkwardly at the base of the phone, rather than the back as it did on the Galaxy S5. Neither placement is particularly helpful, as they’re easy to block when held normally. This muffles the sound in the natural way you'd hold it while playing a game or watching a movie. Another issue is that the home key is slightly raised, making it easy to press accidentally while it's in your pocket.

The S6 and S5 look very similar from the front
The rear of the phone is a less of a design success. The camera protrudes around 2mm making it look a little like a break-out on the face of an unfortunate teenager. Some people will be bothered less than others but the key point is that it slides in and out of your pocket easily thanks to sloped edges. The SIM-tray sits flush with the side and if you can keep hold of the annoyingly elusive SIM-ejector tool or use a paperclip, the tray pops out firmly without too much difficulty.
There are a couple more genuine drawbacks to the spanking new Galaxy S6’s design, though. Glass may be easy to grip but it’s so super smooth that the S6 dives off many surfaces like Michael Phelps at the first hint of a starting whistle – we've caught the S6 on the edge of possible destruction on numerous occasions during our time reviewing it.
Using a case or resting the phone on a textured surface reduces the frequency of these suicide dives, but a less slippery finish might have been better. It's swings and roundabouts though. We prefer the look of the Glass-backed Galaxy S6 but felt safer with the S5's grippy, dimpled back.
The S6 isn't waterproof like the Galaxy S5, so you need to take more care than before. Mind you, we’ll be surprised if Samsung doesn’t release an IP-rated Galaxy S6 ‘Active‘ variant in the coming weeks or months.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 – SCREEN

5.1-inch; 1440 x 2560 pixels (QHD or 2K); 577ppi; Super AMOLED; Gorilla Glass 4
The 5.1-inch screen on the Samsung Galaxy S6 is truly brilliant and definitely one of the best screens we’ve seen on a mobile phone. Only the LG G4 and Galaxy Note 4 can match it for sharpness, but the Super AMOLED panel on the S6 is cut above in every other respect.
Compared to most LCD-screened phones the Galaxy S6’s screen is more vibrant, though Full HD (1080p) screens look just as sharp unless you start looking at the screen from a couple of inches away. The S5’s screen is just as vibrant as the S6, but the S6 produces cleaner, more natural whites. Whites look slightly blue on the S5, while the S6 looks closer to the iPhone 6, which is the best in this department.
S6 pixel comparison
The S6 vs the S5 pixel density
But there’s no doubting which has the best contrast. AMOLED screens don’t have a traditional backlight, which means blacks appear perfectly black. This means videos and photos look fantastic, while the punchier colours outshine the iPhone 6 as well. It looks great indoors and holds up well even in direct sunlight.
Read also: OLED VS LCD
Samsung’s TouchWiz UI allows you to adjust the display colours to fit the user’s preferences, and we found that the AMOLED Photo setting produced the most colour faithful results without heavily sacrificing vibrancy. Apple’s iPhone 6 is the benchmark for colour accuracy but the Galaxy S6 is closer to the iPhone than any other phone we've seen.

The screen looks good from every viewing angle, too, making it perfect for sharing videos and photos on. There really isn’t any department where this screen doesn’t excel. It’s brilliant.
