I have slept on a Puffy Luxe mattress in the past, and it was good. I did have to have a Puffy topper on it to make it more plush, and I found that pretty comfortable. Therefore, I had difficulty deciding on whether to order the Puffy Luxe or the Puffy Royal - I chose the Puffy Royal as it seemed to be a combination of being plush, but firm enough for good support. I like the feeling of getting into a very plush bed, but realize I actually feel less stiff in the morning if it has some firmness to it. The Royal (so far, only been a couple of weeks) seems to fit the bill perfectly for me. I do wake up hot in the night, and can't decide if that is the mattress and if I need a cooling mattress pad, so that part is TBD. Overall I think the Royal is worth the additional cost over the Luxe, and I'm happy (so far) with my decision.
