Mattress Type

Are you a side sleeper, back sleeper, tummy, or combi-sleeper? Your search for a new mattress will be a lot easier when you know your sleep style. Your new mattress will be more comfortable if it’s designed with a particular set of sleep needs in mind. For instance, the Nolah Signature 12 is made with AirFoam™, a propitiatory and revolutionary mattress material not found anywhere else. AirFoam™ is suitable for all sleep styles but is particularly suited to side sleepers. As a side sleeper, the sensitive areas of hips and shoulders are most vulnerable, therefore, they require more targeted support. Choosing a mattress that is customized to your personal sleep needs guarantees far greater comfort and enhances sleep health better than a ‘ready-made’ mattress. 

The Puffy Lux and Puffy mattresses are designed to suit all sleep styles. However, side sleepers may appreciate the Puffy Lux, while the Puffy mattress could be suitable for all sleep styles. Mattresses that are designed to cater to all sleep styles may not provide the most optimal comfort. There is no one size fits all when it comes to mattresses. Sleeping on a mattress that does not support your primary areas of concern, could result in morning aches and pains or exacerbate current symptoms. Therefore, consider your sleep style before choosing a mattress type.

Is Puffy Lux Worth it? 

For many, the Puffy Lux mattress is worth it as they are familiar with the feel of memory foam and enjoy the addition of the gel topper. The soft Puffy Lux mattress envelops the body to create a sinking feeling which may not be for those who enjoy a more supportive feel. If you’re set on sleeping only on memory foam and enjoy the soft feel, it could be for you.  

Comparison Summary 

Nolah and Puffy are respected mattress companies and you ought to expect a high level of customer care from each company. Mattress durability and price are two major concerns for anyone shopping for a new mattress.
