If you’re in the market for a new mattress, we recommend that you shop around and compare a variety of various brands and models before deciding. Every mattress on the market today is tailored to a certain person’s body type, preferred sleep position(s), and firmness preferences. You’ll be able to choose a model that best matches your needs by investigating these beds and discovering how they compare to one another.
We’ll look at two of the most popular memory foam mattress brands in this guide: Puffy and Tempur-Pedic.
Puffy is a “mattress-in-a-box” mattress company that debuted in 2017. The Puffy Mattress, the company’s flagship product, is made out of a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer that is supported with dense polyfoam. The typical memory foam feel of this mattress is defined by a close body contour and even weight distribution. Puffy has also announced the release of two more mattresses. The Puffy Lux is an all-foam mattress like the flagship, but it is thicker and plusher. The Puffy Royal expands on the all-foam construction of the original with convoluted foam for increased airflow and a zoned transitional layer for greater support. Puffy just released the Lux Hybrid and Royal Hybrid, which have the same comfort and transitional layers as their all-foam predecessors but support cores with pocketed coils.
Tempur-Pedic was one of the first mattress brands to popularize the use of memory foam as a sleeping material, debuting in 1991. Over the years, the company’s mattress selection has shifted dramatically. Customers can now pick between five different models. The Cloud is Tempur-only Pedic’s mattress-in-a-box type that arrives directly to your door, and it’s created with two layers of memory foam. Other models are eligible for complimentary White Glove delivery in the contiguous United States, which includes in-home assembly and the disposal of your old mattress. The Adapt and ProAdapt are available in all-foam and hybrid models; the LuxeAdapt is designed for consumers who like a soft or firm memory foam mattress; the breeze° types are designed to keep the surface cool owing to specific materials.
Both Puffy and Tempur-Pedic offer a variety of mattresses, however there are significant differences in mattress construction, performance, and cost between the two brands. We’ll go over the differences between Tempur-Pedic and Puffy in our Tempur-Pedic vs. Puffy comparison guide below to help you determine which mattress is ideal for your needs and tastes.
Puffy Mattress vs TEMPUR-Pedic Overview
The Puffy is made of a responsive foam. This, combined with the gel-infused layers and support structure, makes this a fantastic mattress. The Puffy is ideal for those who desire a foam feel but yet need a supporting mattress.
The TEMPUR-Pedic has a classic foam feel to it. TEMPUR-Pedic is well-known for its TEMPUR foam, which was originally created for NASA. The TEMPUR-Pedic is ideal for sleepers who want a supportive foam mattress.
Who Should Get The Puffy
- Side sleepers in light and medium weights
- The majority of back sleepers
- Those who appreciate the feel of a responsive foam
Who Should Get The TEMPUR-Pedic
- Sleepers on the heavier side
- Fans of slow-moving memory foam will enjoy this mattress.
- Those who like softer mattresses

Puffy vs TEMPUR-Pedic: Top Similarities
- Both of these mattress styles are popular.
- Both mattresses are made entirely of foam.
- Both feature covers that are breathable.
- Both are wonderful for couples and absorb a lot of action.
Puffy Mattress vs TEMPUR-Pedic: Key Differences
- Despite the fact that they are both all-foam mattresses, their structures are very different.
- TEMPUR-Pedic offers a typical slow-moving foam sensation, whilst Puffy has a responsive foam feel.
- The TEMPUR-pedic mattress is slightly softer than the Puffy mattress.
- For overheated sleepers, Puffy is a better option.
- Puffy is more cost-effective.
Sizing Options
As a mattress consumer, one of your first concerns should be size. The majority of mattresses offered now come in six common sizes. Single sleepers will appreciate the twin, twin XL, and full, as well as the queen, king, and California king, which are built for two or more people. For your mattress size, you should be able to find a matching base, foundation, or other support system. We don’t advise utilizing a mattress and support system that are sized differently.
For couples who utilize an adjustable bed base, some mattresses (including Tempur-Pedic models) are available in “split” sizes; with a split down the middle of the bed, each sleeper can modify the angle of their side of the bed.
The weight of the mattress is also significant, as some bases and foundations can support greater weight than others. If you’re ordering a mattress-in-a-box that you’ll have to carry into your home, weight is very important.
The table below shows the dimensions and weight of Puffy and Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Please notice that the measurements of Puffy’s “twin XL” mattress match those of Tempur-“twin Pedic’s long” mattress.

As you can see from the tables, Puffy and Tempur-Pedic have similar mattress sizes and thickness options. For medium-profile and high-profile beds, both companies provide a variety of height options. The weights of the mattresses are also comparable.
Split king and split California king sizes are available from Tempur-Pedic, but not from Puffy. Tempur-Pedic manufactures mattresses for couples that use adjustable bed bases. Many Tempur-Pedic models, on the other hand, are not available in a twin size; however, all Puffy models are available in a twin size, so this may be your best option if you’re seeking for a twin.
Tempur-Pedic mattresses are considerably heavier than Puffy mattresses, yet all models save the Cloud will come with free White Glove delivery. Puffy does not offer White Glove delivery, so you’ll have to transport the mattress to your desired location and set it up yourself.
Construction and Materials Comparison
The materials used to make a mattress have an impact on how it feels and performs for different sleeper types. The majority of mattresses on the market today are made up of three main components. The comfort layer provides surface-level cushioning and contouring, while the transitional layer reinforces the comfort layer and prevents sleepers from sinking too far, and the support core base layer gives overall bed stability.
Because each of these components has a particular function, different materials will yield different results. Even though the comfort and transitional layer materials are similar, a mattress with a high-density foam support core will feel different than a mattress with a steel-coil support core.
Each Puffy and Tempur-Pedic mattress has a full construction breakdown listed below.
Puffy
Puffy Mattress
A gel-infused memory foam comfort layer is followed by a transitional polyfoam layer in the Puffy Mattress’s flagship model. The mattress has a medium firmness rating of 5, which means you’ll feel a close body contour as the foam responds and adjusts to your body – especially if you weigh more than 230 pounds. A high-density polyfoam support core is also included in this model. The Puffy Mattress is 10 inches thick in total and is classified as a medium-profile bed.
Puffy Lux
The Puffy Lux is an all-foam mattress with a similar design to the Puffy Mattress, but it includes gel-infused memory foam and soft polyfoam comfort layers, as well as polyfoam transitional and support layers. As a result, the Lux is 2 inches thicker than the Puffy’s flagship model, making it a 12-inch high-profile variant. The Lux also has a plusher surface feel than the Puffy Mattress, making it better suited to those under 130 pounds but possibly too soft for anyone over 130 pounds.
Puffy Lux Hybrid
The Lux Hybrid is one of Puffy’s newest mattresses, with the same comfort and transitional layers as the all-foam Lux. It’s also 12 inches thick and has a medium feel to it. The Lux Hybrid has pocketed coils over a foundation layer of high-density foam, which is the only difference between these two mattresses. Because the coils produce some surface responsiveness, the Lux Hybrid is a better choice for folks who like the contouring and pressure relief of the Lux but wish it was more bouncier.
Puffy Royal
Puffy’s thickest all-foam mattress, the Puffy Royal, measures 14 inches thick and is considered a high-profile model. A top comfort layer of gel-infused memory foam, followed by two polyfoam comfort layers, the second of which is convoluted (egg-crate) polyfoam that facilitates airflow to keep the mattress cool, makes this mattress highly soft and adaptable.
A transitional polyfoam layer separated into distinct firmness zones is also included in the Royal. This provides extra support for your torso and waist, where most individuals bear a disproportionate amount of weight, as well as soft cradling for your head, neck, shoulders, and legs. A high-density polyfoam support core is also included in the Royal.
Puffy Royal Hybrid
Except for the support core, the Royal Hybrid is nearly identical to the all-foam Royal, as is the case with the Lux and Lux Hybrid. In contrast to the Royal’s solid foam support core, the hybrid has pocketed coils and a foundation layer of high-density polyfoam. Although the coils create notable responsiveness, the Royal Hybrid’s foam layers are substantial enough to reduce the bounciness that is common in hybrids. The Royal Hybrid is great for those who want the contouring and softness of softer all-foam mattresses like the Royal but need a little additional support.
The general firmness level of all Puffy mattresses is medium (5). You may not be satisfied with any Puffy mattress if you prefer mattresses that are softer or stiffer than a medium. Puffy mattresses, on the other hand, are often less expensive than Tempur-Pedic models. If you’re on a tight budget, Puffy may be a better option than Tempur-Pedic.
Tempur-Pedic
Tempur-Cloud
Tempur-Cloud Pedic’s is the company’s only mattress-in-a-box product, which means it is compressed for shipping. Two layers of TEMPUR memory foam, as well as a high-density polyfoam base, make up this mattress. The Cloud, like the Puffy Mattress, is 10 inches thick and rated medium (5), so the two mattresses will feel fairly similar and give equal levels of body-contouring.
Tempur-Adapt
Although the Adapt is 11 inches thick, its medium (5) feel is very comparable to that of the Cloud. A layer of adaptable TEMPUR-ES memory foam sits on top of a denser transitional layer of TEMPUR memory foam in this mattress. The hybrid comprises a base layer of individually pocketed coils, whilst the all-foam Adapt has a high-density support core. By comparison, the hybrid Adapt is more responsive and supportive, but your body will still feel like it’s being cradled in a deep, pressure-relieving cradle.
Tempur-ProAdapt
One of Tempur-most Pedic’s versatile mattresses is the ProAdapt. For the all-foam ProAdapt, you can choose between a soft (3), medium (5), or firm (7) feel, or a hybrid model with a medium (5) feel. TEMPUR memory foam comfort layers and TEMPUR-APR transitional layers are used in the construction of these models. Convoluted polyfoam makes up the support core of the all-foam ProAdapt, which helps to circulate air throughout the mattress and keep it cool. Instead, pocketed coils are used in the hybrid, which help to manage the temperature of the bed by maintaining regular airflow. The ProAdapt is a high-profile mattress that is 12 inches thick as a hybrid or all-foam variant.
Tempur-LuxeAdapt
The LuxeAdapt is made entirely of foam. The soft (3) LuxeAdapt has a TEMPUR-ES memory foam comfort layer, while the firm (7) model has original TEMPUR memory foam; both versions also include a TEMPUR-APR memory foam transitional layer and a convoluted polyfoam foundation layer. The LuxeAdapt is recommended for anyone who like a typical memory foam feel yet is uncomfortable on medium-firm beds. The LuxeAdapt is Tempur-heaviest Pedic’s mattress, measuring 13 inches thick.
Tempur-Breeze
The breeze° models have covers made of phase change material (PCM), which absorbs heat from your body until it reaches a set temperature and then maintains that temperature throughout the night, no matter how hot you are. The PRObreeze° is available in a medium-feel (5) all-foam or hybrid variant, with the goal of lowering the surface temperature by 3 degrees. The LUXEbreeze° is available as a soft (3) or firm (7) all-foam mattress, with the ability to reduce surface temperature by up to 8 degrees. All breeze° models include two memory foam layers on top of a convoluted, high-density polyfoam support core.
Average Customer Ratings
Customer reviews are often displayed on the official product pages of most mattress brands. Because they reflect actual owner experiences, these reviews can be quite useful. This type of feedback can reveal a lot about how a mattress feels and performs. A reviewer’s experience with a mattress, on the other hand, may be completely different from yours. When using reviews and star ratings to assist your mattress search, keep this subjectivity in mind.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a non-profit organization that assesses private businesses based on their customer service and reaction to various consumer complaints. We also urge that you look up any mattress brand’s BBB rating to learn about historical and current difficulties.

In-Depth Ratings
Every mattress has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, depending on how soft or firm it feels, how much it costs, and the materials used to make its different layers. You may analyze a mattress using a variety of parameters. When comparing different brands and models, we look at the following performance categories first. Below are our ratings for each Puffy and Tempur-Pedic mattress, but first, let’s define each category and how we evaluate a mattress for it.
Durability
The average mattress lasts six to eight years before it needs to be replaced. The fabrics used for comfort, transition, and support will soften and lose form over time. As a result, the mattress may seem uneven and unsupportive. Certain materials, such as high-density memory foam, organic latex, and steel coil systems, are linked to increased lifetime. You should rotate your mattress from head to foot every three to six months, regardless of the materials used, to prevent severe drooping and body impressions.
Motion Isolation
Some mattresses are made of materials that absorb movement when you get in and out of bed, preventing it from spreading across the surface and disturbing your partner’s sleep. Memory foam and polyfoam are very good at reducing or eliminating this transmission. If the mattress has more responsive materials, such as latex layers or coil systems, you and your spouse will likely experience more motion when the other person in the bed moves around.
Sex
Most couples choose a mattress that is responsive and delicate when it comes to sex. A little bounce on the surface allows you and your partner to move about freely, while contouring ensures strong traction when you wish to stay in one place for a while. Mattresses that sink along the perimeter may confine you to the middle of the mattress, whereas reinforced mattresses allow you and your companion to use the full surface.
Temperature Neutrality
If a mattress is made of materials that absorb and trap body heat, you may detect an excessive amount of warmth on the surface, which might compromise your comfort. Certain components, such as ventilated comfort layers, coil systems that encourage regular internal ventilation, and covers composed of breathable textiles, help some mattresses maintain a consistent temperature neutrality. Memory foam with a high density sleeps warmer than other mattress materials.
Pressure Relief
Many people experience pressure spots in their necks and shoulders, as well as their lower backs and hips. The greatest mattress for pressure relief will support the body on an even plane, promote excellent spinal alignment, and prevent excessive sinkage around a sleeper’s heavier areas for any sleeper. As a result, while choosing a mattress based on firmness, you should consider your body type and sleeping position.
Off-gassing
When a mattress is fresh, it has an off-gassing odor, but beds with foam layers emit the strongest and longest-lasting odors. The good news is that off-gassing odors usually go away in a week or less, though some models have been known to last a little longer. To get rid of odors, place the mattress in a well-ventilated area for a few days before sleeping on it. Those who are very sensitive to odors, on the other hand, should avoid beds with a high odor potential.
Ease of Movement
If your mattress has a tendency to sink in, getting in and out of bed may be more challenging. If you sleep on your side, back, or stomach, this can also effect how easily you switch sleep positions. Most people, especially those who weigh more than 230 pounds, will find it easier to move over a mattress with a responsive surface and a sturdy support system.
Edge Support
When sat around the margins of any mattress, you’ll almost certainly dip a little. Models with thick and sturdy base layers, on the other hand, have more bounce-back. If a mattress’s perimeter seems weak, it may be difficult to get in and out of bed, and you may not feel safe resting towards the borders – especially if you weigh more than 230 pounds.

In-Depth Pricing
The materials used to manufacture the separate layers of a mattress have a significant impact on the pricing of the mattress. In a queen size, for example, an all-foam mattress costs between $900 and $1,200, while a hybrid mattress costs between $1,600 and $2,200. Size is also a consideration. Unsurprisingly, a queen, king, or California king will set you back more than a lesser one. Certain features or add-ons, like as pillow-tops for more padding and dual-firmness for couples, might raise the price. Finally, you’ll likely pay more for a mattress in a physical store; online mattress retailers may sell their products for less because they don’t have the same overhead costs.
The current costs for each Puffy and Tempur-Pedic mattress in every size are listed below.

[/table]
In most cases, as you may see from these tables, Puffy models are far less expensive than Tempur-Pedic versions. However, when compared to the normal all-foam mattress, the Puffy Lux and Puffy Royal are both quite pricey. The Lux Hybrid and Royal Hybrid are priced similarly to their all-foam equivalents, and both versions are also more expensive than the norm. Only the Puffy Mattress’s flagship has a pricing that is regarded below average.
Although competitor brands provide more cost memory foam mattresses, keep in mind that Puffy and Tempur-Pedic provide additional benefits to their clients. Every Puffy mattress comes with a non-prorated lifetime warranty, so if your Puffy mattress sags excessively at any point, you may be eligible for a free replacement. For every mattress type except the Cloud, which is compacted in a box and delivers for free to your doorstep, Tempur-Pedic offers free White Glove delivery anywhere in the contiguous United States.
Trial, Warranty, and Delivery
Shipping
Puffy, like most mattress-in-a-box companies, offers free ground shipping throughout the United States. Customers in Alaska and Hawaii must pay extra for shipping. The mattress will be compressed, vacuum-sealed, and packaged in a tiny box that will be delivered to your front door. When the mattress arrives, you won’t need to be home to sign for it.
Tempur-Pedic also offers free shipping on the Cloud in a Box, but only to the contiguous United States at this time. In the contiguous United States, all other Tempur-Pedic mattresses are eligible for free White Glove delivery. This service covers a delivery date and time, in-home assembly, and, if desired, the removal of an old mattress. For White Glove delivery, mattresses are not compressed.
Returns
Most online retailers offer sleep trials, allowing customers to try out the bed for a set period of time before making a purchase. Typically, sleep experiments last 90 nights or more.
All Puffy mattress models come with a 101-night sleep trial. Because this trial requires a 14-night break-in period, you won’t be able to return the mattress until at least two weeks after it arrives. Puffy will give a full product refund in the event of a return, while shipping expenses for Alaska and Hawaii customers are not refundable.
All Tempur-Pedic mattresses come with a 90-night sleep trial, which includes a 30-night obligatory break-in period. Return shipping charges of up to $175 may be deducted from your total product refund by Tempur-Pedic.
Both firms will send couriers to your home to collect the mattress and deliver it for charitable donation or recycling.
Warranties
A warranty is a written contract between a product’s maker and the person who purchases the product. In essence, the guarantee implies that manufacturers are accountable for defective products and will fix or replace them as needed. The great majority of mattresses on the market today come with a 10-year or longer warranty.
Each Puffy mattress comes with a lifetime warranty. This guarantee is non-prorated, which means that if your mattress develops a problem at any point throughout its lifecycle, the firm will pay all repair and replacement costs. However, in order for you to replace the mattress, it must be utilized with a proper foundation or support system and show no evidence of physical damage. Sagging or body impressions of 1.5 inches or deeper, physical problems in the mattress that cause materials to decay prematurely, and manufacturing defects related with the mattress cover are all covered under this warranty.
The mattress guarantee from Tempur-Pedic is for ten years and is entirely non-prorated. Aside from any small shipping and transportation fees, you won’t have to pay anything to have a damaged mattress fixed or replaced. Sagging and body impressions that are three-quarters of an inch or deeper are covered by this warranty.
These warranties are non-transferable, so even if you sell or give the mattress to someone else before the guarantee expires, only you will be covered.
Firmness & Feel Differences
When sleeping on these two mattresses, the sensation is rather different. Let’s take a look at how firm they are and how they feel.
How Firm Are The Puffy and TEMPUR-Pedic Mattresses?
The firmness of the Puffy mattress is a 7 out of 10. We rank mattresses on a scale of 1-10 in the mattress business, with 6.5 being the industry average. This indicates that the Puffy is stiffer than typical.
The TEMPUR-Pedic scores 6.5/10 in the medium firm category. This mattress is softer than the Puffy yet still has a medium firmness.
Sleeping On the Puffy and TEMPUR-Pedic Mattresses
On the Puffy, back sleepers and most side sleepers should have a terrific time. Back sleepers will appreciate the excellent lumbar support and comfort. This mattress should be effective in reducing back pain. This is a pressure-relieving mattress for most side sleepers. Heavy side sleepers, on the other hand, may experience some strain on their hips. For stomach sleepers, the Puffy is insufficiently supportive.
For back sleepers, the TEMPUR-Pedic mattress is ideal. They’ll discover the right mix of support and comfort. This mattress should be comfortable for side sleepers, though lighter side sleepers may not be able to compress the foam enough to receive enough pressure relief. For stomach sleepers, this mattress will be excessively soft, and they should instead look at our top mattresses for stomach sleepers.
What Do The Puffy and TEMPUR-Pedic Mattresses Feel Like?
The Puffy features a conventional slow-moving feel as an all-foam mattress. Sleepers will feel great pressure relief as they softly sink into the cloud-like layers.
The TEMPUR-Pedic mattress has a traditional foam feel to it. Many people think of the TEMPUR substance when they think of memory foam. This mattress is ideal for those who appreciate the slow-moving memory foam feel.
Average Weight Sleepers – 130lbs – 230lbs
For back sleepers of medium weight, the Puffy mattress should provide a comfortable night’s sleep. In this sleep position, the climate comfort foam was developed to conform to your body and provide support throughout the night. Side sleepers of average weight should find adequate support on this mattress. For stomach sleepers, however, it is excessively soft.
For average-weight side and back sleepers, the TEMPUR-Pedic mattress should provide adequate support. However, sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds may not be able to compress the foam enough to get the desired pressure point alleviation. This mattress isn’t likely to provide enough support for stomach sleepers. When sleeping on their stomach, those who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the TEMPUR-Pedic bed to be sufficiently supportive.
Heavyweight Sleepers – Over 230lbs
For heavyweight side sleepers, the Puffy mattress should give great support. Those who weigh more than 300 pounds should look into the Puffy Lux Hybrid mattress review or the Puffy Royal Hybrid mattress review, both of which are hybrids with coils. In this sleeping posture, heavyweight side sleepers may experience some strain on their hips. Stomach sleepers should avoid this mattress since it may cause them to sag.
The TEMPUR-Pedic should provide a decent night’s sleep for heavyweight back sleepers. Those who weigh more than 300 pounds, on the other hand, will require a coil mattress. Side sleepers who are heavier may experience strain on their hips and shoulders. On this mattress, heavier stomach sleepers will not obtain the support they require.
Lightweight Sleepers – Under 130lbs
If you sleep on your back or side, the Puffy mattress is a good choice for you. On either side or back, they’ll get enough support and body shaping. Extremely light side sleepers, on the other hand, will not sink far enough into the mattress and will experience pressure on their shoulders and hips. This mattress should provide ample support for stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds.
The TEMPUR-Pedic will surely provide adequate support for light back sleepers, however it may feel a little hard at initially. Lightweight side sleepers may find the mattress excessively stiff at first, but it will soften over time and provide excellent support. This mattress will not provide enough support for stomach sleepers with a light body type.
Puffy Mattress vs. Tempur-Pedic Mattress – Which One Should You Buy?
While comparing the construction, firmness, sleep experience, pricing, value, and other features of the Puffy and Tempur-Pedic mattresses might be beneficial, it can also be daunting. Choosing the perfect mattress for you might be tough with so many aspects to consider. To provide you a fast overview, we’ve compiled a list of key differentiators.
Buy the Puffy if…
1. Are on a budget
A Puffy Mattress is around half the price of a Tempur-Pedic, but being slightly more expensive than other memory foam mattresses. The business does not provide White Glove or haul-away services. It does, however, come with a longer sleep trial period and a lifetime warranty.
2. Sleep Hot
Because of the cooling memory foam layers, Puffy mattresses sleep cooler than Tempur-Pedic. On a Puffy mattress, you’re less prone to overheat.
3. You Know You Want a Medium Firm Mattress
There is only one firmness option for the Puffy Mattress: medium firm. The mattress will work for you if you know you enjoy this hardness, but if you’re not sure, you might want to look into other possibilities.
Buy the Tempur-Pedic if…
1. Want a well-known name brand
Tempur-Pedic was a pioneer in the development of memory foam mattresses and has a long history of producing high-quality, long-lasting mattresses. The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and the NASA Certified Space Technology Seal are both held by the company.
2. You want multiple firmness options
Although the Tempur-Pedic Adapt series is only available in medium firmness, the company’s other mattress series come in a variety of firmnesses that may be more suitable for your needs.
3. Motion isolation and contouring are your priorities
On a Tempur-Pedic mattress, motion transfer is virtually non-existent, and the memory foam layers provide great contouring and support.
4. You want excellent service
Although Tempur-Pedic mattresses are more expensive, they come with White Glove delivery and removal of your old mattress. Tempur-Pedic mattresses are also more readily available in physical places, allowing you to try out numerous types before making a purchase.
It all comes down to your particular preferences when it comes to choosing the proper mattress. While both the Tempur-Pedic and the Puffy are excellent mattresses, examining their differences and similarities might help you narrow down your choices. If you’re searching for a mattress with great contouring and motion isolation, Tempur-reputation Pedic’s for excellence is hard to surpass. However, such luxury comes at a hefty cost, and you may find that the memory foam contours too much or sleeps too hot.
Although the Puffy mattress is less expensive, the fledgling company has already established a reputation for high quality and service. It may be the best choice for you if you want a memory foam mattress with superb contouring, exceptional motion isolation, better temperature regulation, and a lifetime warranty.
Puffy vs. TempurPedic Review Verdict
Finally, both Puffy and Tempurpedic make fantastic beds. Which is the finest will be determined by your personal preferences. Here are a few simple questions you may ask yourself to help you make the best decision possible:
- Do you have a problem with memory foam? Puffy is a good alternative to Tempur-Pedic if you don’t like the classic memory foam feel.
- Would you prefer a mattress with a removable cover that can be machine washed? If being able to wash your cover is crucial to you, Puffy appears to be the best option.
- Do you wish to pick between different levels of firmness? Tempur-Pedic mattresses come in a variety of firmness levels. Puffy has only one.
- Do you have a limited budget? Puffy’s models will all be less expensive than TempurPedic’s.
- Do you weigh more than 250 pounds? If that’s the case, we recommend a hybrid Tempur-Pedic mattress with coils.
The answers to these questions will assist you in determining the best option for you.
