My verdict on Allswell mattress toppers
Allswell's foam toppers can be worth comparing if your mattress is still supportive but feels too firm. In my original review I examined a 3-inch graphite topper and a thicker 4-inch graphite-and-copper model. A topper can change the surface feel, but it cannot repair a sagging support core.
Model names, construction, prices and return terms can change. The original observations and demonstrations below refer to the older toppers, not a new test of today's listings.
My original hands-on review
The topper I unboxed was compressed for shipping and expanded after opening. I used a 14-pound bowling ball to demonstrate how the surface responded. That visual is useful for showing sinkage in one setup; it is not a measurement of pressure relief, durability or alignment for a sleeper.
My two original topper videos are embedded here. I recommended a topper for a mattress that felt too firm, while noting that a worn or sagging mattress may need replacement.

3-inch vs. 4-inch options
| Older model reviewed | What to consider |
|---|---|
| 3-inch graphite-infused foam | A substantial layer intended to soften the surface of a firm, sound mattress. |
| 4-inch graphite-and-copper gel model | Thicker profile with a cool-touch feature described in the original review. |
| Current Allswell options | Walmart lists several 3- and 4-inch Allswell toppers. Confirm the exact name, fill, thickness, price and seller; a similar name does not prove an identical build. |
A thicker topper generally has more potential to change the surface feel, but firmness, body weight and the underlying mattress also matter. A thick, soft topper may feel too enveloping for someone seeking a firmer surface.
What graphite and copper claims mean
Graphite, copper gel and cool-touch materials are marketed for temperature management. I described a cool-touch stripe on the older 4-inch model, but the original review did not compare overnight temperatures under controlled conditions. An initially cool surface does not guarantee a cooler night.
Earlier text also claimed graphite made the topper hypoallergenic, more durable and inherently eco-friendly. Those broad product-level benefits were not established by the review. Check any certification and its scope for the actual model rather than relying on material names alone.
Fit, care and returns
- Inspect the mattress and foundation first. A topper changes surface comfort but does not restore a sagging core.
- Match the topper to the mattress dimensions and measure the combined height for fitted sheets.
- Allow the foam to expand according to its instructions and air it as directed.
- Check whether a cover is included, how each part can be cleaned and whether the foam must be spot-cleaned.
- Read the seller's current return and shipping terms. The old review's trial and $109 queen price are historical.

Frequently asked questions
Will a topper fix a sagging mattress?
No. It may change the feel, but it does not restore the underlying support.
Did you measure overnight cooling?
No. The original review described feel and demonstrations, not controlled overnight temperature measurements.
Is the old $109 price current?
That was a historical queen price. Check the selected model and seller for current pricing.
Which thickness is better?
It depends on how much you want to change the bed's feel, your sleep position and the support below. Compare the actual firmness and return policy as well as thickness.
