Puffy vs Englander Notting Plush: Which Mattress Wins?

Choosing between the Puffy Cloud Mattress and the Englander Notting Plush comes down to one clear split: an all-foam cradle or a 14-inch innerspring build with latex and pocketed coils. The Puffy Cloud is a **medium-firm, 6-layer memory foam mattress** that Puffy describes as cool to the touch with a soft knit cover. The Englander Notting Plush is a **14-inch handcrafted innerspring** with a Tencel cooling cover, Talalay latex and a 1000 pocketed coil system, sold in a plush feel Englander calls supportive plush-firm. Buy the Puffy if you want a simple foam mattress with a 365-night trial and a lifetime warranty. Skip the Puffy if you sleep hot and want airflow through coils and latex, in which case the Englander Notting Plush is the better fit. Shoppers who want a coil build with a choice of comfort levels can also look at the Saatva Classic as a strong alternative later in this comparison.

Which mattress should you buy, Puffy or Englander Notting Plush?

You should buy the **Englander Notting Plush** if you want a tall innerspring mattress with a 1000 pocketed coil system, Talalay latex and a Tencel cooling cover, and you like a plush feel. You should buy the **Puffy Cloud Mattress** if you prefer an all-foam, medium-firm build with a 365-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty. The two mattresses solve different problems, so the winner depends on whether you want foam cradle or coil-and-latex bounce.

The Englander Notting Plush stands 14 inches tall, listed as 13 1/2 inches plus or minus 1/2 inch, and Englander describes the comfort level as a supportive plush-firm feel. The Puffy Cloud is a 6-layer memory foam mattress rated medium-firm by Puffy. Neither mattress is sold by Saatva, so this page treats the Saatva Classic as a strong alternative rather than a winner of this face-to-face.

How do the Puffy and Englander Notting Plush feel?

The Puffy Cloud Mattress feels **medium-firm** with body-adapting memory foam that Puffy says cradles the back. The Englander Notting Plush feels **plush**, with dual plush quilt layers over buoyant Talalay Classic Latex that Englander describes as a supportive plush-firm feel. One is a foam cradle, the other a buoyant latex-and-coil surface.

Puffy rates the Puffy Cloud medium-firm across its 6-layer memory foam build, and the brand describes the feel as cradling back support that adapts to you. Englander describes the Notting Plush as blending deep pressure relief with a supportive plush-firm feel, using Talalay Classic Latex for a responsive, non-toxic cradle. Neither brand publishes a 1-10 firmness number for these two models, so the descriptions above are the stated feels rather than a numeric rating.

If you like to sink into a slow memory foam surface, the Puffy Cloud is the one that matches that description. If you want to lie on top of a responsive surface that pushes back, the Englander Notting Plush with its latex and coil system is the closer match.

What is each mattress made of?

The Puffy Cloud Mattress uses **6 layers of memory foam** with a soft, breathable knit cover. The Englander Notting Plush uses a **Tencel cooling cover, an EssentialGel quilt layer, EssentialGel foam, EssentialGel Air Ridge Foam, Talalay Classic Latex and a 1000 pocketed coil system** with full foam encasement. One is all-foam, the other is a latex-and-coil hybrid build.

Puffy describes the Puffy Cloud as cool to the touch with a soft, breathable knit cover, and the mattress is assembled in the USA. Englander handcrafts the Notting Plush in the USA and lists full compatibility with adjustable bases. The Englander build includes a full foam encasement around the coil system, which Englander says delivers edge-to-edge stability.

Which mattress sleeps cooler?

The Englander Notting Plush is the stronger pick for airflow, with a **Tencel cooling cover, EssentialGel layers and a 1000 pocketed coil system** that Englander says delivers 3x advanced cooling performance. The Puffy Cloud Mattress is described by Puffy as cool to the touch with a soft, breathable knit cover. Both brands make a cooling claim, but only Englander describes airflow through coils.

Englander’s cooling story runs through three parts: a moisture-wicking Tencel cover, continuous EssentialGel layers, and EssentialGel Air Ridge Foam that Englander says optimizes airflow for temperature regulation. The pocketed coil system adds open space inside the mattress. Puffy’s cooling claim is narrower, resting on the cover and the foam’s touch temperature rather than on airflow through the build.

If you wake up hot and want a mattress with an innerspring core that air can move through, the Englander Notting Plush is the one that matches that need. Shoppers whose main concern is heat can also browse our best hybrid mattress selections for more coil-based options.

How do motion isolation and edge support compare?

Englander states that the Notting Plush’s **1000 pocketed coil system with full foam encasement** isolates motion and provides edge-to-edge stability.

Pocketed coils are individually wrapped springs, and Englander pairs them with a full foam encasement around the perimeter. That encasement is what Englander credits for edge-to-edge stability, which matters if you sit on the edge of the bed or sleep close to the side. Memory foam naturally dampens movement, and Puffy lists less motion as a feature of the Puffy Cloud.

Couples who share a bed should weigh which matters more: the foam dampening of the Puffy Cloud or the edge stability Englander describes for the Notting Plush.

What do trial, warranty and shipping look like?

The Puffy Cloud Mattress comes with a **365-night sleep trial, a lifetime warranty, and free shipping and free returns**, with mattresses shipping in 1-2 days. Puffy’s terms are the only ones available here.

Puffy describes the trial as with a 100% money-back guarantee, and the brand assembles the mattress in the USA. Saatva, the alternative presented on this page, also offers a 365-night home trial and a lifetime warranty on the Saatva Classic, along with free white-glove delivery and free removal of your old mattress.

Who should buy the Puffy Cloud Mattress?

Is the Saatva Classic a good alternative to either mattress?

The **Saatva Classic** is a strong alternative if you want an innerspring mattress with a real comfort choice, because Saatva sells it in three comfort levels: Plush Soft (3/10), Luxury Firm (5-7/10) and Firm (8/10) on Saatva’s own scale where 1 is softest and 10 firmest. The Saatva Classic comes with a 365-night home trial, a lifetime warranty and free white-glove delivery with old-mattress removal. Neither the Puffy Cloud nor the Englander Notting Plush is sold by Saatva.

Saatva builds the Classic with a 3-inch Euro pillow top, a dual-coil design of triple-tempered recycled carbon steel coils, and patented Lumbar Zone Technology. The cover is a soft breathable blend that includes organic cotton. Saatva offers the mattress in 11.5-inch and 14.5-inch heights, and the 11.5-inch version works on an adjustable base.

The Saatva Classic suits shoppers who like the coil-and-support story of the Englander Notting Plush but want to pick their firmness level, and who want white-glove delivery with old mattress removal. The Plush Soft (3/10) level suits side sleepers and lighter-weight people, the Luxury Firm (5-7/10) level suits all sleep positions and couples who disagree on firmness, and the Firm (8/10) level suits stomach sleepers and heavier body types.
