Larry P.

Verified“After learning that they are made in China, and there were shipping delays, I decided to purchase the Puffy. My wife and I are still getting used to it. It is far superior to any mattress we have ever had.”

Gary D.

Verified“I wake up feeling well-rested. We definitely love our new Puffy Lux. Prior to getting the Puffy, I had a Nectar foam mattress which I found to be a bit too firm for side sleeping. Happy days with great sleep.”

Luke D.

Verified“Just RIGHT! Right enough to buy another for our guest room at Mom's in Florida and then a third for the shore house. Always a great night's sleep. Very happy we did not go with latex. Puffy - the BEST!”

Theresa G.

Verified“I made the best decision for my body type. I like a softer bed that still supports and this bed does exactly that! It gets better as the days go by. The lifetime warranty was also a big plus and contributed to my decision. Couldn't be happier.”

Craig P.

Verified“Sleep Number was horrible, Nectar was too firm, Puffy Lux is soft but still supports you while sleeping.”

Amy S.

Verified“We've had our Puffy for a couple of months now and are super happy with our purchase. We originally purchased a Nectar mattress and it was a nightmare- through and through.”Previous slideNext slidePUFFY VS NectarPUFFY VS NectarFirmnessConstructionComfortSupportWarranty

Firmness

Puffy Cloud Mattress

The Puffy Cloud Mattress sits between six to eight on the firmness scale, making it a medium-firm mattress that suits every sleeper type. It gives just the right amount of support and cushioning through the contouring and pressure support properties of its foam and gel layers.

Nectar Premier Mattress

The Nectar Premier Mattress sits just above a six on the firmness scale, and is an all-foam mattress known for the soft feel of its layers.

The conclusion:

Your preferred mattress firmness will vary depending on your personal preferences and requirements. Puffy's medium-firm feel is perfect for all sleeper types and is often quoted in its 5-star customer reviews.

Construction

Puffy Cloud Mattress

The Puffy Cloud Mattress is made with 6 distinct layers, and is a gel-infused, memory foam mattress. Engineered with cozy, cooling sleep in mind, all Puffy foams are also CertiPUR-US® certified and assembled in the USA.

Here's a closer look at each of the Puffy Cloud layers:

• Cool Touch Cloud Cover: This luxurious cover features a patented cloud design and is breathable, with cooling yarns knitted into the top layer, creating a refreshing 'cool-to-the-touch' feel against your skin.
• Climate Fiber Layer: A layer of soft, heat-resistant fibers that adds cushioning and helps increase air circulation, for even more cooling comfort.
• Cooling Cloud™ Foam: A cooling, gel-infused foam layer. This helps disperse heat, cradles muscles and joints, and soothes pressure points, making it the perfect solution for hot sleepers who need a comfortable night's rest.
• Cloud Comfort Pressure-Relief Foam: This second foam layer provides optimal back alignment and pressure support. It is tailored to sleepers who prefer to be supported through their sleep.
• Firm Core Support Foam: This final foam layer features high-density construction for superior stability, durability, and motion isolation.
• Grip Base Cover: Keeps your mattress from slipping and sliding. Adaptable to all types of bed frames

Nectar Premier Mattress

While Puffy's luxury mattress offerings are all designed and assembled in the USA, Nectar has used materials from China. Nectar has fewer layers than Puffy with a 5-layer design, and each layer has slightly different levels of quality and comfort.

Here's a closer look at each of the Nectar Premier layers:

• Cover layer: A cover with wicking properties offers plenty of absorption features. The description on their website doesn't mention if the cover offers a cooling sensation when you touch it, like the Puffy Cloud Mattress.
• Pressure relief layer: A layer of memory foam that features gel and pressure-supporting properties.
• Dynamic Response Layer: An extra foam layer that is apparently for both airflow and alignment. The properties of this layer and the one above crossover according to their website description.
• Base Layer: A stabilizing layer that acts as a base.
• Base Cover: This final layer helps the mattress stay put. Its performance on different surfaces such as a slippery floor vs. a bed frame is inconclusive.

The conclusion:

Mattress construction is one of the best ways to ascertain a high-quality product. Puffy's range of cooling-infused layers and attention to detail throughout the Cloud's design really shine here. If you enjoy your luxury products to provide a cooling, comforting experience, a Puffy gives you that refreshing, cool-to-the-touch reassurance with its cloudlike cover. Not to mention the central construction of Puffy's layers, which balance the essential elements for a great night's sleep: temperature regulation, pressure support, and cushioned comfort in perfect harmony.

Comfort

Puffy Cloud Mattress

Puffy got its name from its unique, cloudlike feel. Ranked Best Mattress 2026, the Puffy Cloud Mattress has been featured on The Ellen Show, The Talk, and more. Puffy's Cloud Comfort™ technology stands out from competitors in terms of bespoke comfort

Nectar Premier Mattress

The Nectar Mattress won the Tuck Award in 2021 for Best Memory Foam Mattress.

The conclusion:

Your bed needs to feel comfortable - testing out your mattress and assessing if you're sleeping better is a great way to find out what's right for you. That's what our 101-night sleep trial is for! If cloudlike comfort sounds appealing to you, you're just a click away.

Support

Puffy Cloud Mattress

The Puffy Cloud Mattress is designed to adapt to the contours of the body with medium-firm support. Thanks to their exclusive specialized cooling layers, all Puffy mattresses are also designed to maximize airflow and keep heat away. Advanced contouring capabilities additionally make the Cloud perfect for recovering muscles and joints.

Nectar Premier Mattress

The Nectar Premier Mattress also has a similar focus on contouring and pressure relief, but it appears to be slightly less firm than the Puffy, so sleepers who are after more pressure relief and support might need to opt for something with a firmer feel.

The conclusion:

Good sleep is essential for the proper recovery of muscles and joints. Your pressure points require adequate support to offset tension built throughout the day and Puffy mattresses are designed to do exactly that. It makes the difference between waking up ready to face the day and needing to hit the snooze button again and again.

Warranty

Puffy Cloud Mattress

Puffy offers a lifetime warranty on every single product, from mattresses to bed frames and bedding. For as long as customers use Puffy products, they are protected by a lifetime warranty.

Nectar Premier Mattress

Nectar's 'Forever Warranty' comes with some limitations. The warranty stipulates coverage for just 10 years of your ownership.

The conclusion:

You spend a third of your life on your mattress, and it's a significant investment so it's important to find a warranty that keeps you covered for as long as possible.
