As seen on Ellen (yes, really, that Ellen). That's the first thing that caught my attention on the Puffy site. Puffy has had a great couple of years -- the company has had it mattresses featured all over the place and won a ton of awards. The question is, is it all hype, or is there some substance here? So, I set off to find out.
The Puffy mattress, one of two offered by the company, contains proprietary materials, such as ClimateComfort, which prevents temperature fluctuations. A lot of memory foam mattresses sleep hot (well, that's kind of how memory foam works, by retaining your body temperature), so I'm always interested in new formulations and innovations within the materials that offset some of the potential drawbacks of all-foam mattresses.
Proprietary foams and materials aside, something else stands out. A mattress with a lifetime warranty? What kind of madness is this? Say what you want, but Puffy clearly stands behind the durability of their mattresses.
For the socially conscious shopper, for every 10 social posts customers make, Puffy donates a mattress to a child in need.
