Firmness

Firmness is a subjective matter. To some, a particular mattress may feel soft, while it may feel firm to others. Whether a mattress is soft, plush, or firm is purely defined based on personal preferences, choices, and body type. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

Brick, as the name suggests, is a firm mattress in the range of 5.5 to 7.5 on the firmness scale. The Brick can hold the body rather than collapse it against its weight, thus supporting the lower back, shoulders, and neck while sleeping on it. The supportive memory foam layer enables it to conform to the body shape. The firmer top layer aids in optimal support, provides the mattress with its firmness, and provides maximum cushion under the hips and shoulders. The mattress allows to sink to some extent but prevents developing stiffness in the limbs. The pocketed coils aid in supporting the areas of the body that need the most support. It also promotes proper spine alignment in all sleeping positions.

Material & Construction

The Allswell Brick is a hybrid mattress that is 12 inches tall and has 4 layers. The cover is quilted with SwirlFoam for added plushness and cooling. Beneath the cover is a memory foam layer with copper infusion, followed by a comfort layer of high-density polyfoam on a coil support core.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

• Layer 1: This layer features 1-inch thick copper-infused memory foam that wicks away heat and keeps the sleeper cool. The memory foam cradles the sleeper’s body and helps relieve pressure points. Due to its antimicrobial properties, copper helps in odor reduction that is buildup due to bacteria.
• Layer 2: This layer is 2 inches thick made of high-density polyfoam that is intermediary between the memory foam and the pocketed coils. The high density of the foam prevents deep sinking, thus helping in maintaining proper spine alignment. This layer aids in giving the mattress the bounce that most all-foam mattresses lack.
• Layer 3:  This layer is made up of individually wrapped pocketed coils. The support layer of the mattress keeps the body elevated and prevents excessive sinking. The reinforced edges avoid the sides of the bed from sagging. The coil system helps in more excellent airflow to keep the mattress cool.

Repositioning

Repositioning means that a person can switch positions during sleep easily. Again, mattress responsiveness measures how quickly one can become comfortable after changing positions and how one can make an easy move. The Brick being made of different foam layers and pocketed coil system provides good bounce and responsiveness, thus allowing sleepers to move on the bed quickly and change positions comfortably without being stuck in the foam. This feature also makes it an excellent bed for sex.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

With the variety of mattresses in the market, it isn’t easy to choose the right one. The right mattress can help get a good night’s sleep, which leads to the feeling of rest and refreshment upon waking up. Pain relief is another important feature that people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

Being a firm variant, the Brick mattress offers ample support to sleepers. The copper-infused memory foam and polyfoam layers together function to cradle the body, while the pocketed coil layer gives the much-needed support while sleeping. The mattress cover is quilted with SwirlFoam that adds to its plushness and cooling.

The comfort layers allow enough sinkage to avoid pressure buildups in the hips and shoulders. The coil support layer is specially designed to prevent the spine from bending uncomfortably.

Hybrid mattresses are generally cooler than the all-foam variants as the pocketed coils allow for enough airflow. The Brick mattress helps to sleep cooler thanks to the copper infusion in the memory foam layer and the quilted cover.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: According to sleep doctors, black sleeping is the best position to sleep, as it helps keep the spine perfectly aligned. The firm feel of the mattress makes the bed just perfect for back sleepers who suffer from back pain. Brick gives incredible support in the lumbar region, thus keeping the body well aligned, preventing aches and pains.
• Side sleepers: Side sleepers will feel comfortable on a mattress that cushions the hips and shoulders as they encounter a buildup of pressure in these areas. The Brick being a firm mattress may not be a good choice for side sleepers, but the comfort foam layers contour the pressure points, and the quilted top made of SwirlFoam adds to its plushness. However, sleepers below 130 pounds will find the mattress too firm to sleep.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers enjoy sleeping on a firm mattress as it prevents the hips from sinking too deep into the mattress. The Brick’s construction prevents excess sinking, thus providing substantial support for stomach sleepers of all weights. The firmness helps in keeping the spine aligned all night.
• Heavy sleepers: The Allswell Brick mattress is highly recommended for heavy sleepers as the mattress can help in evenly distributing the body weight throughout the mattress. Heavy sleepers will not sink too deep into the mattress and not feel trapped while changing sides.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical condition determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. Allswell Brick helps to sleep amazingly cool owing to foam layers, breathable cover, and pocketed coils that optimize airflow, thus preventing a buildup of excessive heat. Copper in the memory foam has a natural cooling ability and helps dissipate excess body heat, thus reducing retention. The individually wrapped coils facilitate more air to flow through the mattress and keep sleepers cool throughout the night. The soft, breathable cover enables the sleeping surface to be cool. The mattress cover prevents giving sleepers from sweaty feel.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with sound motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus helping partners sleep peacefully.

The Brick mattress presents good motion isolation. The pocketed coils prevent motion from transferring to the other side of the bed, while the foam layers also absorb some motion. Since the coils give the mattress some bounce, one might slightly feel when their partner moves while sleeping. However, the individually pocketed coils prevent too much motion transfer. These coils also provide good edge support, thus allowing sleepers to utilize their beds fully. The coil system also helped distribute the body weight evenly throughout the mattress surface.

Edge Support

Edge support is the amount of support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an essential consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

The Brick mattress offers excellent edge support. The mattress itself is a firm variant; added to this, the coils around the perimeter prevent the edges from sagging, which makes it safer to sit or lay down on the sides of the bed. The strong edge makes the mattress ideal for couples as they make use of the whole bed, thereby increasing the sleeping surface.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Good sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us has different sleeping styles and specific needs for comfort and support; thus, choosing the right mattress may be difficult. The Allswell Brick supports sleeping in all positions and for all types of sleepers.

Below detailed description of how the Brick is a good fit for different sleep positions is given.
