The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is a high-end bed-in-a-box. It uses memory foam for its comfort layers, and its lower polyfoam layers are marketed as Cooling Cloud and Climate Comfort foam.
The manufacturer describes it as a 'Medium-Plush' mattress, but it's firm and best-suited for average and bigger back and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers, especially lighter people, may want something plusher. You don't sink very deeply into the comfort layers. As an all-foam mattress, it's hardly bouncy at all. It's not very responsive and creates a moderately contouring feel—you may find this contouring feels like a pleasant hugging sensation or like you're stuck in place.
The Puffy Lux variant sold in the U.S. has a different design and performance. See the Differences Between Variants section below for more details.
Our Verdict
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) offers a good sleeping experience, especially if you like memory foam. This material gives it a slow-moving feel that can make you feel pleasantly held in place or restricted in your movements, depending on your preferences. However, it's more responsive than some memory foam-feel mattresses. This all-foam mattress also has excellent motion isolation, so your partner's movements aren't likely to wake you up. Its great edge support means you can use the whole surface without feeling at risk of sliding off. Unfortunately, it's not very cooling and isn't a good option for anyone who sleeps hot.
Great motion isolation, so movement is unlikely to wake you up.
Great edge support.
Decent cooling.
Best suited to average-sized and heavier back and stomach sleepers.
May make you feel stuck in place.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
None of the foam used is good quality, which can cause indentations and sagging.
Not ideal for side sleepers or lighter people.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version)'s cooling performance is just satisfactory. It's not cooling enough for hot sleepers, who may have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, since it holds onto quite a bit of heat all night. If you don't sleep hot, it might still make you feel warmer than usual, but you may not mind if you virtually never feel overheated when trying to sleep.
Decent cooling.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is great for motion dissipation. This all-foam mattress isolates motion well, so while you may feel it in the lumbar area when your partner rolls over, not much movement reaches your feet or head. It dissipates quickly, so you won't feel like you're bouncing around whenever your partner moves.
Great motion isolation, so movement is unlikely to wake you up.
Decent cooling.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) has great edge support. The edges aren't reinforced with anything, but it's a firm mattress overall and the sides don't compress much when you sit or sleep nearby. This support makes it easier to get in or out of bed and ensures you don't feel at risk of sliding off when you sleep near the edges.
Great edge support.
Decent cooling.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is somewhat responsive. Its memory foam comfort layers take a moment to bounce back after being compressed. This helps create a hugging sensation but can also make you feel constricted, especially if you move around a lot as you sleep.
More responsive than many mattresses with memory foam.
Decent cooling.
May make you feel stuck in place.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) isn't a durable mattress. It uses only lower-quality foam, including the memory foam upper comfort layer and polyfoam transition and support layers. This makes the mattress prone to sagging or forming permanent body impressions sooner compared to models that use denser, higher-quality foam.
Decent cooling.
Not a good choice for hot sleepers.
None of the foam used is good quality, which can cause indentations and sagging.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
This mattress has different designs depending on where you buy it. The Canadian version (available at puffy.ca) is an all-foam mattress, while in the United States, it's a hybrid mattress including coils and foam in its construction.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) comes in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, California King, and Split King sizes. This model comes in one firmness option, the manufacturer calls it 'Medium-Plush.' Our results are only valid for the Queen-sized Canadian version of the Puffy Lux. Here's a picture of our unit's first label and second label.

Popular Mattress Comparisons
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is a firm mattress that best suits stomach and back sleepers. Its upper comfort layers of memory foam give it a slow-moving feel. However, it recovers its shape faster than some other memory-foam mattresses, such as the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt, so it's worth considering if you like feeling held in place but want to be able to move around a little more easily. The great motion isolation is a plus when sleeping with a partner, since you won't feel every little move they make. That said, despite its 'Cooling Cloud' and 'Climate Comfort' foam layers, its cooling performance isn't good enough for hot sleepers. It's a decent option if you rarely feel overheated at night, but it can still make you feel a little warmer. The Tempur-Pedic is a good memory foam mattress for better cooling, and if you're not attached to the memory foam feel, you might prefer the medium-firm Purple Mattress.

The DreamCloud Hybrid (Canadian Version) and Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) perform similarly but have different strengths. Both mattresses have great motion isolation, so they're ideal for partnered sleeping, but beyond that, they're pretty different. The DreamCloud mattress is more cooling, so it's a better choice for hot sleepers. It's also more responsive, making moving around on the surface more comfortable. On the other hand, the Puffy Lux has much more robust edge support, which extends the comfortable sleeping surface and makes it easier to get in and out of bed. Either mattress could be a good choice, depending on your priorities.
The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (Canadian Version) is better than the Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) for most people. The Dreamcloud has more bounce and is more responsive, so it feels easier to change sleeping positions. Its has significantly better cooling and slightly better motion dissipation and edge support. That said, if you're looking for a classic memory foam feel, you might like the Puffy's slow-moving feel better.
We've recently started testing mattresses. We use objective data and repeatable testing for key characteristics like firmness, cooling, and motion isolation, to ensure each mattress gets the same treatment. Since we buy all of our mattresses, we can tear them down layer by layer and isolate the mechanical properties of every component: quilted tops, foams, coils, and any special materials. Our approach gives us unprecedented insight into how each product design decision contributes to a mattress's overall performance and feel, and allows us to tailor our results to different body types and sleeping positions.
Test Results
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is a 12.2" (31 cm) mattress, so you can use standard fitted sheets.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) is a firm mattress. It's best suited for back and stomach sleepers, as side sleepers may find it not plush enough. Smaller back and stomach sleepers may also want a somewhat softer mattress.
The Puffy Lux (Canadian Version) isn't bouncy. Because it's an all-foam mattress with memory foam in its comfort layers, it doesn't feel springy but rather somewhat 'dead' or static. If you prefer something with more bounce, it might be worth considering a hybrid, like the DreamCloud Hybrid (Canadian Version), which gets some additional springiness from its support layer of pocket coils.
You sink into the comfort layers of the mattress a fair bit, and the memory foam contours your body fairly closely, creating a hugging or cradling feeling.
It's somewhat responsive. The memory foam upper comfort layer doesn't regain its shape instantly after being compressed, contributing to a hugging feeling and making it more difficult to move around in your sleep. That said, it's more responsive than some memory foam-feel mattresses, like the Zinus Original Green Tea.
This mattress has great motion isolation, which is typical for all-foam mattresses. When your partner moves, you'll feel it slightly in the lumbar area, but not around your head and feet. Motion dissipates very quickly, making movements less likely to wake you up.
The mattress has great edge support. There's nothing special in the edges for reinforcement, but it has firm foam support layers and doesn't compress a lot when you sit on the edge. If you sit at the very edge, it only forms a very slight ramp outward.
Its cooling performance is just decent. It doesn't feel particularly cool during the first hour of sleep and also retains a lot of heat overnight, so hot sleepers may have difficulty falling and staying asleep. It may even make you feel warmer if you're not usually a hot sleeper, so keep that in mind if you are sometimes bothered by heat or if you live in a warm climate.
While there's no additional edge support built in, the firm polyfoam transition and support layers don't compress easily, giving the mattress its impressive edge support.
This mattress is made up of four foam layers. The upper and lower comfort layers are made of memory foam, which relieves pressure, contours your body, and allows you to sink into the mattress a bit. However, memory foam lacks responsiveness, so it can be more difficult to shift sleeping positions or move around, too. The transition and support layers are polyfoam, which offers more 'push back.' These layers ensure you don't sink too far into the mattress and give it a more responsive feel overall.
None of the foam is very dense, which indicates it's not particularly high-quality or durable. The comfort layers aren't particularly dense for memory foam, and the polyfoam transition and support layers aren't quite dense enough to be considered good quality either. These layers are prone to sagging or forming permanent indentations sooner than higher-quality foams.
The upper and lower comfort layers are made of memory foam and are each 1.5" (3.9 cm) thick. The upper layers of memory foam give the mattress its moderate sinking and contouring as well as its slow-moving feel. If you compress the upper layers, you'll also interact with the 2" (5 cm) layer of polyfoam below, which is firmer and helps prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress. The base of the mattress is a 7" (17.7 cm) layer of firm polyfoam, which provides study support for the upper layers.
The upper and lower comfort layers are both made of memory foam and are both very soft, as you'd expect from this material. This relieves pressure and allows you to sink somewhat into the mattress while the memory foam contours your body. The transition layer is firm, which ensures you don't sink too far into the mattress, and the support foam is very firm, offering robust support for the heavier parts of your body, like your shoulders, hips, or lumbar, depending on the position you sleep in. The softer comfort layers and firmer transition and support layers produce a firm mattress overall.
The upper and lower memory foam layers aren't very resilient or bouncy. This is normal for memory foam, which has little 'push back' and instead sinks and contours your body, making it more difficult to move around on the mattress's surface or change positions while you sleep. The lower layers are more resilient, which helps give the mattress its slight bounciness.
