Firmness Info

The firmness level of the ultra-plush Puffy Royal Hybrid is 4 to 6 out of 10. If you're looking for a slightly firmer feel, consider the Puffy Royal mattress which is a 5 to 6 on the firmness scale. Stomach sleepers, side sleepers, and back sleepers - the Puffy Royal Hybrid Mattress is for you.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Puffy Royal Hybrid has 10 layers of construction, similar to the Puffy Royal but with springs:

  • 1.5" Infused Cooling Foam with Plush Contouring
  • 1.5" Reflexive Memory Foam
  • 2" ClimateComfort™ Foam
  • 2" Sectional Cloud Technology Foam
  • 6" Contour-Adapt Coils
  • 1" Firm Core Support Foam.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Comfort Info

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Support Info

Specialized contouring foams will adjust to the shape of your body, with just enough reflexive bounce in the mattress to relieve stress. The Puffy Royal Hybrid Mattress will restore your body throughout the night so you can wake up rejuvenated every morning.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Comfort Specs

The top layer of the Puffy Royal Hybrid is formed with a 1.5-inch cooling layer. Infused cooling beads reduce heat retention and provide the most consistent and comfortable sleep you have ever experienced.
The third layer of the Puffy Royal Hybrid regulates heat with advanced cooling properties. The Puffy Royal Hybrid is designed to create steady airflow throughout the entire bed.
The unique SMT cloud design on the fourth layer of the Puffy Royal Hybrid minimizes heat absorption, resulting in superior airflow throughout the mattress. Sleep deeper and for longer at an optimal temperature year-round.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Support Specs

With luxurious memory foam and a contour-adapt coil base, the Puffy Royal Hybrid Mattress softens to adapt to the unique curves of your body for unbeatable support and stability.
A multi-directional 5 layer system in the fourth layer sets the Puffy Royal Hybrid apart with advanced SMT technology for enhanced spine support. Separated into 5 cloud zones, the Puffy Royal Hybrid Mattress is designed to provide customized support to the back, and a softer feel for the head, neck, shoulders and feet.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Fabric Specs

As soon as you rest on the Puffy Royal Hybrid's plush top cover, you will notice an instant feeling of luxurious quality. The plush top cover is expertly tailored for a perfect fit and can be easily unzipped and refitted for seasonal spot cleaning. The cover is stain resistant, so you can easily clean minor spills in no time. Furthermore, the cover is certified OEKO-Tex Standard 100 - this means they are safe and durable.

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
