The Allswell Hybrid is a cheap bed-in-a-box mattress. This Medium-Firm hybrid includes a firm pocket coil layer for support, a contouring memory foam upper comfort layer, and a quilted top. The manufacturer advertises cooling features, including moisture-wicking fibers in the cover and cooling gel particles in the memory foam.
Our Verdict
The Allswell Hybrid is best suited for side sleepers in the heavier weight range. It offers excellent body conformity for people in that weight category, so it won't put much pressure on your arm and shoulder. It has a decent performance for average-weight people as well. You may want more pressure relief for side sleeping, but it's not a bad choice, especially if you only sleep on your side some of the time. However, its body conformity performance for lighter people is poor, and you'll want a plusher mattress for side sleeping.
Decent body conformity for average-weight people.
Poor body conformity for lighter people.
The Allswell Hybrid is best suited for lighter back sleepers, but it isn't a bad choice for average-weight and heavier individuals either. It offers great support for lighter people, so your hips will stay in line with the rest of your body. It also offers satisfactory support for average-weight and heavier people. While it doesn't have a very enveloping feel, its contouring upper comfort layers help add pressure relief.
Excellent body conformity for heavier people.
Great support for lighter people.
Decent support for average-weight and heavier people.
The Allswell Hybrid is best suited for lighter stomach sleepers. It offers impressive support for people in that weight category, which helps ensure your back doesn't arch when you're sleeping on your stomach. It offers a satisfactory performance for average-weight and heavier people as well. While you may want a firmer mattress for even better support, it's not a bad choice, especially if you don't always sleep on your stomach.
Great support for lighter people.
Decent support for average-weight and heavier people.
Average-weight and heavier people stomach sleepers may need more support.
The Allswell Hybrid is somewhat durable. Most of the foam layers are made of lower-quality foam, including the polyfoam in the quilted top and the memory foam upper comfort layer. The transition layer is made of denser, good-quality polyfoam and should resist sagging for longer.
Contains mostly low-quality foam.
The Allswell Hybrid's pressure relief performance depends on your weight. It's a Medium-Firm mattress without a lot of plush foam, and you won't sink into it very far overall. Its pressure relief isn't good for lighter individuals, as they won't compress it enough for comfortable side sleeping. However, it offers better body conformity for average-weight and heavier individuals. Also, while it doesn't have an enveloping feel, its highly contouring sleeping surface helps with pressure relief.

Excellent body conformity for heavier people.
Contouring comfort layers help with pressure relief.
Poor body conformity for lighter people.
The Allswell Hybrid offers good support for lighter people, making it a good choice for back and stomach sleepers in that weight category. However, its firm coil layer helps it offer decent support for people in the average-weight and heavier weight categories. This makes it a better option for back and stomach sleeping compared to some other Medium-Firm mattresses.
Great support for lighter people.
Decent support for average-weight and heavier people.
The Allswell Hybrid has great cooling. It dissipates heat efficiently enough for most people, including hot sleepers. While it doesn't feel as cool as some mattresses when you first get into bed, you're unlikely to wake up overheated later on.
Cooling enough for hot sleepers.
The Allswell Hybrid has an excellent motion dissipation performance. You won't feel every small movement, like a pet jumping onto the foot of the bed. While you may feel bigger ones, like when your partner gets into bed, you'll feel motion near the source, not all over the mattress. It also dissipates quickly, so the mattress doesn't wobble and movement is less likely to wake you.
You'll only feel bigger movements briefly.
The Allswell Hybrid has a responsive feel. It adapts quickly to your movements, so you don't feel stuck in place. It's also quite bouncy, which helps make it feel easier to move around on as well. That said, its memory foam layer gives it a slightly more hugging feel than some other, more responsive mattresses, which makes it feel a bit harder to move around.
Responsive feel makes it easy to change sleeping positions.

Popular Mattress Comparisons
The Allswell Hybrid is a cheap Medium-Firm mattress. It offers better support than some other Medium-Firm mattresses in the same price range, such as the Beautyrest Silver BRS900 or the Purple Mattress. This makes it a better option for average-weight and heavier back and stomach sleepers, although some may want a firmer mattress. It's also cooling enough for hot sleepers and has excellent motion dissipation, although it doesn't quite match some all-foam mattresses like the Nectar Classic. However, if you're looking for a plush, pillowy mattress for better pressure relief, you might prefer the Beautyrest Mattress, which has a more enveloping feel.

The Allswell Hybrid is better for most people than the Nectar Classic. The Allswell offers significantly better cooling and edge support, as well as better motion dissipation. It's more responsive and bouncy, which makes it easier to move around in your sleep. However, you might prefer the Nectar's hugging feel and more enveloping comfort layers.
The Allswell Hybrid is better than the Beautyrest Silver BRS900 for most people. Both are Medium-Firm mattresses, but the Allswell offers better support for most people, so it's a better option for back/stomach sleepers, especially those who are average-weight and heavier people. Its cooling and motion dissipation are much better. However, if you prefer a very responsive, bouncy mattress so you never feel stuck in place or hugged, you might like the Beautyrest.
The Allswell Hybrid performs better than the Zinus Green Tea 2024 in most ways. The Allswell offers significantly better cooling, has sturdier edges, and offers a more responsive feel. However, if you like the hugging feel of slow-moving memory foam, you might prefer the Zinus, which has lower responsiveness and more contouring upper comfort layers.
You might prefer either the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid or the Allswell Hybrid. The DreamCloud is a Medium-Plush mattress and may suit side sleepers better. It's a bit more responsive and bouncy, which can help avoid making you feel stuck in place. The Allswell is better suited for back/stomach sleeping overall and offers better cooling and motion dissipation.
Test Results
The Allswell Hybrid is 26.7 cm (10.5") tall, so it's a fairly low-profile mattress, and regular fitted sheets will fit.
The Allswell Hybrid is Medium-Firm. It offers good support for lighter people, making it a good option for back and stomach sleeping. It's also decently supportive for people in the average- and heavier-weight categories. While it doesn't offer enough pressure relief for most side sleepers, it's a good option for heavier side sleepers, especially if you prefer a firmer feel.
This mattress offers excellent body conformity for people in the heavier weight category. You'll sink in enough to relieve pressure when you sleep on your side. Its performance is also decent for average-weight people, although you might prefer a plusher mattress for side sleeping. Its body conformity for lighter people is poor, so it's not a good choice for side sleepers in that weight category.
This mattress offers great support for people in the lighter weight category, so it'll keep your spine aligned when you sleep on your back or stomach. Its performance is also decent for average-weight and heavier people. While you may want an even more supportive option for stomach sleeping so your back doesn't arch, it's suitable for back sleeping.
It's a bouncy mattress, which gives it a lively feel compared with less bouncy mattresses and makes it feel easier to change sleeping positions.
The comfort layers aren't very enveloping. They're on the firmer side for comfort layers, and you won't sink in very much overall, so you feel like you're sleeping 'on' and not 'in' the mattress. However, they are highly contouring, which adds pressure relief, since more of your body is in contact with the sleeping surface.
It has a responsive feel. While it doesn't bounce back as quickly as some mattresses, it still recovers its shape fast enough that you don't feel stuck in place. That said, its memory foam layer gives it a slightly hugging feel.
It has excellent motion isolation. It's particularly good at keeping movements localized, so while you may feel larger movements near the source, they won't travel across the mattress. Motion also dissipates quickly, so you won't feel the mattress wobble whenever someone moves.
The mattress edges are sturdy, and you won't sink very much when you sit on the side of the bed. The very edge of the bed compresses a little more, but you can still comfortably sit or sleep near the side of the bed without feeling like you might slide off.
It has great cooling overall. It's a little slower to dissipate heat during the first hour you're in bed, which may make it less ideal if you have difficulty falling asleep because you feel overheated. However, it does a better job over an eight-hour night, so it's a good option if you often wake up boiling hot later on.
The manufacturer doesn't say what the mattress cover is made of, but says it includes moisture-wicking fibers meant to help with cooling. The cover isn't removable or machine-washable.
The coil layer has 17-gauge pocket coils along the sides for extra support. They're made of thin wire but are tightly coiled and stiff, which helps give the mattress its excellent edge support.
The quilted top includes layers of polyfoam and fiber fill, and helps add pressure relief and responsiveness. The upper comfort layer below is made of memory foam, and has a softer, more contouring feel. There's also a polyfoam transition layer, which is much firmer and helps distribute your weight over the coils below.
This mattress uses a mix of good- and low-quality foam. The quilted top's polyfoam layer and the memory foam upper comfort layer are both made of lower-density foam and may show signs of wear sooner than higher-quality foams. The polyfoam transition layer is made of good-quality foam, which should resist sagging or forming permanent indentations for longer.
The quilted layer includes 1.5 cm (0.6") of fiber fill and 1.5 cm (0.6") of polyfoam, so it isn't very thick overall, at just 3.0 cm (1.2"). You'll likely also sink into the memory foam upper comfort layer. The 1.8 cm (0.7") polyfoam transition layer is also quite thin, but it has a firmer feel and helps distribute your weight over the spring layer.
The support layer is made up of 14-gauge pocket coils, which correspond to medium stiffness. The layer isn't particularly dense, but the springs are tightly coiled, which adds firmness.
The quilted layer and upper comfort layer are both on the firmer side for comfort materials. You'll sink in a bit, which helps with pressure relief, but the firmer foam, especially the polyfoam transition layer above the springs, stops you from sinking in overly far.
The spring layer is very firm, which helps give the mattress its good overall support performance and its Medium-Firm feel.
The polyfoam in the quilted top is very resilient, so it has a springy feel and responds quickly when you move. The memory foam comfort layer is much less responsive, which gives the mattress a slightly slower-moving, hugging feel. The most resilient layer is the polyfoam layer below, which pushes back when you compress it, and also helps make the mattress more responsive overall.
