Allswell Mattress Topper Review Breakdown

The Allswell Graphite Memory Foam Topper is designed to offer contouring pressure relief without excessive heat retention. The topper isolates motion well, and it features a relatively durable construction at an attractive price-point.

The Graphite Memory Foam Topper may be a good fit for side sleepers and anyone who wants to soften a firm mattress. Allswell’s other mattress toppers offer alternatives for people who want less contouring, or for those who need the added support of a thicker mattress topper.

Materials and Construction

With a medium (5) firmness, the Allswell Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper offers relatively close contouring that helps relieve pressure points. At 3 inches thick, the topper provides relatively deep cradling while still transferring support from the mattress below.

The topper is built from open-cell memory foam, which features larger, more open cell walls that allow air to flow through more easily. This is intended to improve temperature neutrality compared to traditional closed-cell memory foam. The topper is also infused with graphite, designed to help regulate temperature by pulling heat away from the surface.

Pricing Information

The Allswell Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper is the company’s mid-range option in terms of cost and profile. Allswell Home strives to offer competitive pricing, and the company’s mattress topper prices fall below the average compared to other memory foam mattress toppers.

Memory foam mattress toppers vary in price based on the density of the foam, the thickness, and the quality of the materials. The Allswell mattress toppers range from 2 to 4 inches in height, with the thicker models priced slightly higher. The toppers also feature copper and graphite infusions, which are considered specialty materials that would normally raise the price.

All of the Allswell mattress toppers come without a cover and are intended to be used under a fitted sheet or a mattress protector. Shoppers may need to purchase deep pocket fitted sheets.

Mattress Topper Performance Ratings

The Allswell Graphite Topper provides close conforming that is ideal for side sleepers and those who like the hug of memory foam. Buyers can also expect the topper to sleep cooler than a standard memory foam topper.

Memory foam beds and toppers are particularly popular with sleepers who share the bed. The material absorbs movement, helping to minimize sleep disruptions when your partner switches positions. However, the same features that soften movement can make it a less desirable option for sex, as its longer bounceback time makes it more difficult to change positions.

This topper should have an average lifespan compared to other soft memory foam toppers. Adding a topper to your bed can also help extend the lifespan of your mattress, as the topper takes the brunt of impact along with the symptoms of normal wear and tear.

Off-Gassing and Odor Potential

Off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a common byproduct of the polyfoam and memory foam manufacturing process. This process is usually considered harmless, but mattress toppers made with these materials may release a distinctive new mattress smell when they are first unboxed. Off-gassing doesn’t occur with natural materials, though these may come with their own smells.

Because it is made with memory foam, the Allswell Memory Foam Topper may off-gas somewhat at first. The odor should last a few days at most. If you’re sensitive to smell, you may want to let the topper air out in a separate room before sleeping on it.

Cleaning and Care

Careful maintenance of your mattress topper can help ensure it lasts as long as possible. Periodically airing out the topper and using baking soda to remove any odors can help keep it clean.

Memory foam can suffer damage if exposed to water, so it’s advisable to use as little water as possible when cleaning a memory foam topper. Putting memory foam in the dryer is also not recommended. The extreme heat can cause the foam to break down, shortening the topper’s lifespan. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when cleaning your topper.

Allswell recommends placing the Graphite Memory Foam Topper under a fitted sheet or mattress protector to keep it in place and safeguard it from spills. If the topper becomes soiled, it should be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water and left to air dry.

Sleeping Style and Body Weight

Side Sleepers

The Allswell Graphite Mattress Topper is a particularly good choice for side sleepers. These sleepers need a medium to medium firm mattress with above-average contouring. This topper allows the hips and shoulders to sink into the surface, while still supporting the midsection to prevent the spine from falling out of alignment.

This topper performs best for side sleepers weighing 230 pounds and under. It is also suitable for side sleepers weighing over 230 pounds, though some sleepers in this category may find they sink in too far.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers should look for a bed that supports the lumbar region and keeps the abdomen from sinking too far. If the bed is too soft, the lumbar area may curve unnaturally, causing spinal misalignment and eventually pain. On the other hand, if the bed is too firm, it won’t provide enough cushioning to be comfortable. For these reasons, back sleepers get the best sleep on a bed that has a medium firm to firm feel, with moderate contouring and responsiveness.

Back sleepers under 230 pounds fare best with the Allswell Graphite Topper, while those weighing over 230 pounds may find their abdomen sinks too far into the memory foam.

Stomach Sleepers

Among stomach sleepers, those weighing less than 130 pounds receive adequate support on the Allswell Graphite Memory Foam Topper. The softer surface is suitable for these sleepers, as they do not put as much pressure on the bed.

Stomach sleepers need a firm bed to keep the midsection supported. This topper is likely too soft for stomach sleepers weighing over 130 pounds, who may find the topper allows their spine to sink into a U-shape.
