Marten: Hey, guys.
Marten here from Mattress Clarity.
Today, we're reviewing the Allswell Supreme Mattress.
I'm going to be talking about the construction of this mattress, running it through a number
of tests, talking about who it's a good fit for and who it's not a good fit for.
Let's get started.

If you have any specific questions, you want to post a recommendation, leave a comment
below.
Today, we have the Allswell Supreme Mattress, the most top-of-the line mattress.
Right now, they have three options -- the Allswell, the Allswell Luxe, and the Allswell
Supreme.
This is their most luxury option.
It has these really nice supportive coils.
It also has some very high-density memory foam and a pillow top as well.
I was a big fan of the original Allswell.
I was excited to try out the Allswell Supreme for myself.
Let's talk about the construction of the Allswell Supreme, starting on top and then working
our way down.
First off, on top, you have a very, very nice cover, soft polyester blend.
Got these As in there, a very cool look to it.
Underneath that, you're going have a layer of memory foam.
It has that slow-moving memory foam feel, as you can see.
It's also infused with gel and with copper.
A big issue with memory foam is, it's known for trapping heat.
With the gel and copper, it's going to help with heat dissipation, keep this mattress
from trapping so much heat, especially toward the top.
Copper is also antimicrobial.
It's going to help this mattress keep bacteria from growing, especially in the top of the
mattress.
Beneath that, you're going to have a layer of Energex foam.
Energex foam has some memory foam-like qualities.
Also, a little bit of bounce like latex.
It's going to be a little more responsive.
It's going to add little bounce to the top of the mattress to keep it from being too
slow-moving.
It's also all going to be open-celled to help it keep it breathable as well.
Not trapping too much heat, even the second layer.
Top of the mattress altogether has this pillow top look and feel, a plush design you can
see here.
Beneath that, you have a layer of individually wrapped coils -- very, very supportive.
Beneath that, you're going to have a layer of support foam.
What does all this mean?
First, it is going to be a very supportive mattress.
These individually wrapped coils and this high density foam should be able to support
even much heavier weights.
Also, with these coils here, you have a Quantum Edge Technology.
It makes the edge of the mattress more supportive than the rest.
Some very nice edge support I'm expecting.
Also, it's going to be a very durable mattress.
With these individually wrapped coils, with these high-density foams, it is going to be
a longer-lasting investment, a good long-term investment.
Then lastly, speaking about temperature, it should be a cooler sleeping mattress.
With the coils, a lot of room for airflow.
With the open-celled Energex foam here, some breathability on top of that memory foam,
which is infused with gel and with copper.
It shouldn't be trapping too much heat.
It should be a cooler night of sleep for you.
Now, let's talk about firmness and feel.
In terms of firmness, I put this mattress at about a 7 out of 10.
A little bit firmer than average.
That's because you have these very soft layers on top, soft memory foam, easy to press into.
Then you hit some more supportive layers beneath that, your hands stop.
Overall combines for a little bit firmer than average.
I will say I'm a larger person.
I press further into these top layers than a lighter person might.
If you're lighter than me, I'm 230 pounds, you might find this mattress to be softer
than I did.
In terms of feel, it has the slow-moving memory foam feel on top.
When I press my hand in, it takes a little bit of time for it to reform.
You do have some Energex below that, which does have some memory foam qualities.
It also is more responsive, so it bounces back fairly quickly.
Let's test out the bounce here with the ball.
It's a decent amount of bounce.
It's dying pretty quickly because of that memory foam on top.
I can say personally, trying to move around on top of this mattress, it's not so easy.
Let's talk about how I feel in different sleeping positions on the Supreme mattress.
Starting out on my back, it's a very, very good match for me.
My hips sink in those top memory foam layers.
They hit the Energex foam.
They are still sinking a little bit more but not too far.
Also, memory foam on top pressing up into my lumbar area.
I'm feeling some nice contouring.
It's definitely taking the shape of my body.
It's a very good match for back sleeping.
If you're a larger person like me or lighter, it's definitely good match for you as well.
Moving to my side, it is firm at first, but it does slowly start to soften up.
It's that high-density, slow-moving memory foam.
When I'm on my side, I slowly sink into the mattress.
I feel the pressure melt away on my shoulders and my hips.
Even for someone of my size, a very, very good match for side sleeping.
When I move to my stomach, however, again, it's a little bit firmer than average.
I'm a larger stomach sleeper, so I definitely need more support on my hips.
I'm not getting quite enough, so I'm bowing in there somewhat, getting a little bit of
lower back strain.
If you're a stomach sleeper, especially somewhat of my size, I would look for a more supportive
mattress overall.
Here at Mattress Clarity, we like to mix subjective opinion with objective tests.
One of those tests is the pressure map.
What I do is I lie down on my back, side, and stomach.
You see anywhere from blue for no pressure, all the way up to red for high pressure.
Now, pay close attention to my side sleeping results.
Let's get started.

Joe: Hi, everyone.
I'm Joe, and I'm here to offer a different perspective.
Marten is 6"7', 230.
I am 5"9', 160.
Definitely a different body type and that's something you should consider when looking
at a mattress.
In terms of firmness, Marten said this is about a 7 out of 10.
I actually think it's more of a 6.5 out of 10.
That's because Marten presses through the top layers and feels that firm layer underneath
that a little bit more than I do, so I think about a 6.5 out of 10.
Let's go through the sleeping positions now.
On my back, I definitely feel good support overall.
It's a very good match for me there.
Switching on to my side, I feel the nice pressure relief from the memory foam layer, so I would
say a pretty good match for me there, as well.
Switching on to my stomach now, I would say I probably want something a little bit firmer,
a little bit more supportive overall.
If you're a light and a medium-weight sleeper, this is going to work for you.
If you're a back or a side sleeper and if you're a stomach sleeper, I'd probably go
for something a little bit firmer.
If you sleep with a partner, you definitely want to think about motion transfer.
Basically, if you're lying down on one side of the mattress, your partner moves around
on the other side.
Are you going to feel that motion or not?
In a test for motion transfer on the Supreme, I placed a glass of water in the center of
the mattress here.
I'm going to press in the other areas.
You can see the glass and the water are not disturbed too much.
Not a lot of motion transfer on this mattress.
It's because you have some soft memory foam on top.
It also lets me know it should be a good match for couples.
If you do sleep with a partner, you definitely want to think about edge support as well.
It basically means if you're sitting down near the edge of the mattress, if you're lying
down at the edge of the mattress, will you feel secure or more like you're going to roll
off?
You see me sitting here toward the edge of the Allswell.
The memory foam is collapsing quite a bit, but the coils beneath that are keeping me
from falling forward.
I do feel secure sitting down on the Allswell Supreme.
When I lie down near the edge here, you can see I'm rolling around near the edge.
I feel very, very secure.
I don't think I'm going to roll off the Allswell Supreme.
Overall, the edge support of this mattress is very good.
Now, let's talk about the pros and who I think the Allswell Supreme might be a good fit for.
First off, I think that back sleepers are really going to like this mattress.
It's very, very supportive but also has these soft layers on top, so a really nice balance
of comfort and support.
When you're on your back, your hips sink in the right amount.
You should feel some nice contouring, nice lumbar support as well.
Again, very, very nice for back sleeping.
Also, side sleepers are really going to like the Supreme.
When you're on your side, it's a little bit firm at first, but you slowly sink into that
of that memory foam.
You feel almost no pressure on your shoulders and your hips.
If you're my size or lighter, maybe a little bit heavier than me, you should feel very
good pressure relief on this mattress.
If you're a hot sleeper, you should definitely check out the Allswell.
It has a lot of features in here to make sure you're not sleeping too hot.
With the coils, a lot of room for airflow.
The memory foam on top here is infused with gel and copper to help with heat dissipation.
You shouldn't be heating up on this mattress.
Lastly, I think this is a very great value.
It's under $1,000 for a queen size for a very luxury mattress.
Without having to break the bank, you get a very, very nice mattress.
Now, let's talk about the cons and who I think the supreme might not be the best fit for.
First, if you sleep primarily on your stomach, it's probably not the best match for you.
It's only slightly firmer than average.
Stomach sleepers usually want to look for a firmer, more supportive mattress.
Off of that as well, if you like a firmer mattress with more support -- you have more
support needs -- I would also look elsewhere.
Again, only slightly firmer than average.
It has these soft layers on top, so probably not the mattress you're looking for.
Then lastly, in terms of feel, if you prefer to sleep on top of your mattress, have some
ease of movement, you might not get that with the Allswell Supreme.
It has these slow-moving memory foam layers on top, so not so easy to move around.
It has more of that sinking-in feel.
As I said, this mattress is pretty close to medium in terms of firmness.
It's slightly firmer than average.
I want to know what type of mattress you're looking for.
Is it a soft mattress, a medium firm mattress or a firm mattress?
Leave your answer in the comments section below.
I want to give you some additional information about the Allswell Supreme.
First, it does come with 100-night sleep trial.
You can try it out 100 nights, risk- free.
You don't like it, send it back.
No issues at all.
They also have a 10-year limited warranty, free shipping and returns, and financing,
which means if you don't want to spend a big lump of money upfront, you can break it up
over a couple months or a couple years.
Lastly, they do have two other mattress models available, as well as accessories.
The Allswell Supreme is a bed-in-a-box mattress.
I just wanted to talk about the process of getting this at your house and unboxing it.
First off, it's a very, very big mattress.
Once it arrives, you're going to want to ask for someone's help to get it up to your bedroom,
especially if it's upstairs, like we have here.
Once you get it into the bedroom, you're going to open the top of the box with a box cutter.
Then you're going to take out the rolled-up mattress.
You're going to carefully place that on top of your frame or foundation.
Then, again, with a friend's help, you're going to carefully cut those layers of plastic.
You want to be very, very careful.
You don't want to damage your mattress.
You spent a lot of money on this mattress.
You don't want to damage it.
Cut theses layers one by one.
After this happens, it's going to expand very, very quickly, because you have these coils
in it.
Once you've done that, clear away the plastic.
Take away all the packing materials.
There is some memory foam in this mattress, so it might take a little bit of time to expand,
24 to 48 hours.
You're getting a little bit of off-gassing as well, so leave the room ventilated.
Give it a couple days to off-gas and expand, and you should be good to go.
In the end, I really enjoyed my experience with the Allswell Supreme Mattress.
I think that back sleepers, side sleepers, hot sleepers, and those looking for a really
good value should check this mattress out.
I will note, if you are a stomach sleeper or you like a firmer mattress, you might want
to look elsewhere.
That's about it.
