Allswell Mattress Review

The Allswell isolates motion to an average extent for a hybrid mattress. Since the coils are individually wrapped, they won’t allow as much motion to travel across the bed as in an innerspring mattress.

Memory foam conforms locally and has a slow response to pressure that inhibits motion transfer. However, due to the relatively thin comfort layers, the Allswell won’t absorb as much motion as some hybrid mattresses.

If you share the bed with a partner, you should find that small movements won’t wake each other up. However, if one of you is a light sleeper, you may be better off with an all-foam mattress or a hybrid with thicker comfort layers.

The Allswell provides a moderate amount of pressure relief in the comfort layers. The quilted cover and memory foam conform somewhat to the sleeper’s body, providing a balanced feel that should reduce most pressure points in sleepers over 130 pounds.

Still, the Allswell is relatively firm, with just a few inches of memory foam before the coils. Due to the mattress’s firmer feel, lighter sleepers may experience pressure points when sleeping on their side.

Most sleepers should sleep cool on the Allswell mattress. Hybrids are generally known for their temperature neutrality, as heat is able to escape through the coil layer instead of getting trapped in the mattress. Moreover, the Allswell’s firmer surface means that sleepers will mostly sleep “on” and not “in” the mattress, resulting in less heat trapped around the body.

To further improve temperature neutrality, Allswell has infused the memory foam with charcoal and copper gel. These materials conduct heat away from the sleeper to avoid the traditional memory foam problem of sleeping hot.

Thanks to higher-gauge coils on each side of the bed, the Allswell boasts reliable edge support. This is important when getting in and out of bed, as well as when sleeping near the edge of the bed.

If you have a small bedroom, a bed with sturdy edges lets your bed double as a place to sit. For people who share a smaller mattress, strong edges allow each partner to use their full side of the bed without crowding toward the middle.

Since the Allswell has a fairly firm surface, the mattress allows for easy movement. The coils add further responsiveness that boosts motion. Combination sleepers should have no trouble switching sleeping positions.

The Allswell has a slightly bouncy surface that is great for sex. The strong edges allow full use of the bed, and the memory foam provides some traction without inhibiting movement.

You may hear some faint squeaks and creaks from the pocketed coils, but this is significantly quieter compared to the noise an innerspring mattress would make.

Some customers may notice some off-gassing odors when the mattress is first unboxed. This is perfectly normal, and the odors are generally not considered harmful. Since the mattress only has a few inches of foam and plenty of airflow through the coils, the smell shouldn’t stick around.

Off-gassing happens when foams come in contact with the air and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Allswell uses foams that are certified by CertiPUR-US, meaning they are low in VOCs and free of harmful substances like formaldehyde and ozone depleters.
