Allswell Mattress Reviews

Hybrid mattresses are some of the most popular choices in the modern mattress market. That makes a lot of sense; hybrid mattress offers all of the benefits of traditional mattress design while incorporating the latest innovations in sleep technology.

However, one drawback of a hybrid mattress is that they tend to be more expensive than either foam mattresses or traditional innerspring mattresses. As a result, lots of people are put off of what could be an amazing sleep experience. But the times are changing. As the market adjusts, there are more options for people that want the best of both worlds, but don’t want to break the bank to get it.

Allswell is a new value hybrid mattress that is getting a lot of attention, so we decided to take a look at it and see what the buzz is about. It features a great combination of memory foam and internal coils; all while being priced well below what you see for most hybrid mattresses on the market today. This review will tell you everything you need to know about the Allswell mattress. Use this information to decide if this is the right mattress for you.

Construction

The Allswell mattress is made from three different layers and a cover. We’ll look at each element of its construction in detail below. We’ll also do our best to help you understand what the different construction techniques and materials do to the sleep experience you get from the mattress itself.

Layers

The top layer of the Allswell mattress is the comfort layer. This is constructed from 2” of poly foam. This foam is a bit firmer than the comfort foam you get in many other modern mattresses. As a result, it’s much more bouncy and has a greater degree of responsiveness. That means you’ll stay sleeping on top of the mattress and aren’t likely to get the sinking feeling that people sometimes experience with memory foam.

The second layer acts as a support layer. This layer is made from a series of pocketed coils. The coils are individually wrapped, which helps prevent motion transfer while allowing air to easily move through the mattress. Limiting motion transfer is important for couples that can get disturbed by each other through the night, while enhanced airflow helps keep you cool and wicks away moisture while you sleep.

The bottom layer of the mattress is constructed from 0.75” of high-density poly foam. This base mainly serves as a foundation for the pocketed coil system in the support layer. It ensures that the coils are responsive and supportive while providing a solid, level foundation for them.

Cover

The cover for the Allswell is made of a blend of spandex and polyester. These are the same materials that are commonly used in top-of-the-line sports wear because of their unique combination of durability and breathability.

The durability of the cover is extremely important, as it help hold the different layers of the bed together. It also protects them from stains, crumbs, and other things that you don’t want in your bed.

The streachyness of this cover is also nice because it makes it easier to make and unmake the bed. That’s because the fabric of the cover doesn’t get in the way of the process. It also means that if you accidentally pinch the bed cover while you’re unmaking the bed you’re not likely to cause a tear.

However, something that sets the cover of the Allswell apart from the competition is that it is quilted with ¾ inch of gel-infused memory foam. This gives the bed excellent pressure relief qualities when you first get in.

Mattress covers are actually much more important to the performance of your mattress than many people think. Specifically, they have a huge influence on the airflow in a mattress. This makes a lot of sense if you think about it: it doesn’t matter how much airflow a mattress has if the cover doesn’t allow for air transfer. That means you can wind up sleeping hotter than you expect.

The cover for the Allswell mattress does two things to help with temperature control. First, the breathability of the spandex-polyester blend helps facilitate airflow into and out of the mattress.

Second, the gel-infusion in the memory foam quilted onto the cover helps to reduce heat and further facilitate airflow, minimizing the heat-retaining properties of memory foam. That’s because the gel-infusion process creates additional airflow within the memory foam without losing any of the qualities that make memory foam so comfortable. The result is better heat transfer and moisture wicking without sacrificing the sensation of soft memory foam.

Firmness, Feel, & Support

The Allswell mattress is designed to appeal to most sleepers. It has an average firmness that comes in at around a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. This is spot on for what most American sleepers expect from a mattress.

One of the nice things with the Allswell is the unique way it transitions you to the firmer support layer of coils. The combination of the memory foam-quilted cover and the top comfort layer do a great job of easing you onto the supporting coils without taking too long, which creates a sinking feeling, or putting you immediately on to the firmness of the support layer.

This means that you get an awesome, soft initial feeling from the bed that is then taken over by a feeling of support and comfort. The bed itself feels very comfortable. We found that it’s best for back sleepers and belly sleepers will enjoy it as well if they like a firmer feel while they’re sleeping.

Another thing to note about the feel of the mattress is how well the cover, with it’s .75” of gel-infused memory foam, contributes to the comfort of the bed. It acts as a functional forth layer that helps to ease you from one level of support to the next. As a result, your body will be able to comfortably and naturally adjust to the transition to the support coils.

In terms of support, the Allswell performs very well. The bed’s individually wrapped coil system is very responsive at night. That responsiveness minimizes pressure points. As a result, you get less tossing and turning and a more restful night’s sleep. You’re also less likely to wake up with aches and pains because the bed gives you the support you need to keep your spine in the proper alignment.

One of the most important elements of a bed’s support is the edge support you get. There are two reasons for this. First, a greater amount of edge support means that you can use more of the bed’s surface area without feeling like you’re going to fall off the bed. Second, edge support is useful for non-sleeping tasks, such as getting out of bed in the morning, or using your bed to help get dressed.

The edge support in the Allswell mattress is definitely above average compared to similar hybrid mattresses in its price range. We were really surprised by how close we could be to the edge of the bed and still feel secure and supported. That means you’ve got more room to enjoy the mattress. It also opens up additional possibilities during adult playtime.

Sinkage

Another important factor to understanding how a bed will sleep is sinkage. Sinkage doesn’t only affect the way you sleep when you first get the bed. It will also give you a clue as to how durable the bed is and how long it will be able to retain the properties that make it your favorite surface to sleep on.

We found that the Allswell has a good sinkage pattern. 6 pounds of weight will create about 1 inch of sinkage, while 100 pounds of weight will create about 5.5 inches of sinkage. Keep in mind that these weights are concentrated into one spot, so you shouldn’t expect a 100-pound person to experience the same level of sinkage. That’s because the weight is more spread out and evenly distributed than in our tests, which just used simple weights.

Broadly speaking, these measurements are in line with a mattress that should last you 10 years. That’s good, because that’s the exact length of the warranty you get with an Allswell mattress.

These tests also show that the Allswell mattress could be a good option for heavier sleepers. The pocketed coil system does a good job of responding to and supporting pressure applied to it. Moreover, because the range of sinkage the bed displayed in our test was so tight, you can be fairly confident that heavier sleepers won’t wear the bed out substantially faster.

Motion Transfer

Motion transfer is another important aspect of understanding how a bed will feel. It’s especially important for couples, as no one likes waking up in the middle of the night because someone else is tossing and turning.

Motion transfer is usually a bigger issue in innerspring mattresses than it is for memory foam mattresses. That means you never know exactly how a hybrid mattress like the Allswell will react.

The motion transfer on this mattress is actually quite limited. This is because the coils that make up the innerspring system are individually wrapped. That means motion that affects one coil doesn’t automatically transfer to the other coils around it. Moreover, the foam support base that the mattress uses also does an excellent job of limiting motion transfer between the coils. On the whole, we were fairly surprised and very impressed at the motion control properties of this mattress.

Should You Buy an Allswell Mattress?

There are a lot of people that will really enjoy the Allswell mattress. The biggest reason for this is the price. At $345 for a queen mattress, there aren’t many other options that offer hybrid memory foam and coil design, plus the great motion transfer and airflow properties you get with the Allswell. That means it’s a good mattress for people that are buying their first bed, just starting out, or are on a tight budget.

The incredibly reasonable price also makes the Allswell an excellent option for a guest room. Guest rooms can be hard to sort out, after all. You won’t be using the mattress that often, but you don’t want your guests to have a bad sleep experience. The Allswell can be a great solution to this problem.

Other sleepers that will like this mattress are those who like lots of bounce from a mattress. As memory foam mattresses become more common, people are increasingly longing for the days where jumping on a bed provided a trampoline effect, not a squishy foot stomping. The Allswell definitely delivers in this area.

Finally, the Allswell is a great option for couples. That’s because of the high-quality edge support and the way that the individually wrapped coils and foam base work to prevent motion transfer during the night. Additionally, the edge support can really enhance adult play time by adding new options and possibilities for activities.

There are some people who may want to try a different option though. If you’re a side sleeper with sensitive pressure points, then you might have issues with slight pain in your shoulders and/or hips. The way and degree by which you experience this will depend on the specifics of your body’s shape and size, but it’s something that’s worth considering.

Additionally, heavier sleepers that want a softer feel might be put off by the transition between the foam layer and the pocketed coils. This is a personal preference issue though, so some people might not be bothered if they prefer a firmer feeling for their mattress.
