This Under-$500 Mattress Still Exceeds Expectations After Three Years

"I ordered my Allswell queen-size mattress about three years ago, right after moving into a new apartment. I'd done a ton of research and wanted something that felt elevated without being overpriced. It arrived compressed in a box, and I remember being shocked at how easy it was to set up. Within a few hours, it had fully expanded and looked like a proper luxury mattress."

"When Allswell first launched, it was positioned as a stylish, affordable alternative to big-name mattress brands. What I didn't realize at the time was how seriously they take quality and materials-especially considering the price point. Unlike a memory foam mattress, this one was designed with individually wrapped coils that help target pressure points. The mattress felt way more premium than I expected, and their focus on comfort without unnecessary frills quickly became evident."

"Although Allswell offered a white-glove delivery service, I opted out since I only had to travel up one flight of stairs. Following some back-and-forth with customer service, a new mattress appeared downstairs in my apartment about a week after placing my order. The mattress arrived compressed, which made moving it up to my apartment easier for unboxing. My old mattress was...fine, but it was not great. It was one of those innerspring-heavy beds that started to sag in the middle after a year or two."

The Allswell queen mattress arrived compressed and expanded within hours into a luxury-feeling bed. The design pairs comfort layering with individually wrapped coils to target pressure points and provide medium-firm support. Setup was simple and delivery options included white-glove service, though standard delivery worked well. The mattress improved sleep quality, reduced shoulder stiffness, and stayed cooler than the previous innerspring bed that sagged. Foam materials are made without harmful substances, and standard sheet sets fit properly. The overall result is a premium-feeling, affordable hybrid mattress focused on comfort and practical performance.
