The all-foam Allswell and Nectar are both affordable mattresses available for purchase online. Allswell is a new mattress brand from Walmart, while Nectar is a mattress brand devoted to the bed-in-a-box business model. Allswell also makes a hybrid foam-coil mattress, but this review will focus on the brand’s all-foam option.

Nectar Construction
- Nectar’s long staple cotton and Tencel cover is OEKO-TEX® certified, which means it does not contain harmful substances.
- The top layer is a quilted gel memory foam that provides comfort and breathability.
- The second layer is also made of gel memory foam. Nectar describes this foam as a “semi-open LUSH foam,” and it is typically manufactured for medical uses. This material is intended to absorb and redistribute heat.
- Next up, 3″ of Hi Core Adaptive foam gives extra support and lends the mattress bounce. This layer helps relieve pressure points through contouring support.
- A roughly 6″ base layer uses breathable yet dense foam designed to draw in fresh air through special channels.

Firmness/Feel Differences
Both are relatively firm and have good bounce, but Allswell is a little firmer. Check out our videos regarding the firmness and feel of both mattresses below.
Motion Transfer Differences
Both models prevent isolate motion well, and either would be a good option for couples. I can’t say that one is definitively better than the other in this case. Check out the motion transfer videos for both mattresses below.
Pick Allswell If …
- You want to save money. Allswell is less expensive, so if you really can’t decide then it will at least give you the chance to save some money.
- You sleep on your stomach. Allswell is a little firmer, which should provide stomach sleepers with adequate support so their spines don’t get out of alignment while they sleep.
Pick Nectar If …
- You sleep on your side. Nectar is just a little softer and has more contouring support. That makes it a more appropriate choice for side sleeping.
- You want to sink into your mattress more. Nectar is a bit softer than Allswell. If you like the feeling of sinking deeper into your mattress (rather than sleeping on top of the mattress), then the Nectar might be the better fit for you.
