Brand overviews

Compare Allswell and Tuft & Needle financing

Allswell and Tuft & Needle both offer financing through Affirm. The difference between the two is that Allswell requires a minimum $250 purchase amount to use Affirm financing, whereas Tuft & Needle doesn’t have this limitation.

Unfortunately, residents of West Virginia and Iowa are not eligible for Affirm financing due to state laws. But that’s across the board with all Affirm offerings, not just these two brands.

Shipping and returns

Both brands offer free standard shipping options, with a few key differences.

Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii

Allswell offers free shipping to all 50 US states, while T&N excludes Alaska and Hawaii in its offer. Tuft & Needle mattress delivery to these states can cost between $150 and $200.

White glove delivery

Both Allswell and Tuft & Needle offer optional white glove delivery to the continental US for a nonrefundable fee.

Allswell offers the options of $99 in-home setup or $149 in-home setup and removal of your old mattress. Tuft & Needle offers one $150 option, which includes both in-home setup and mattress removal. Even if you don’t want your old mattress hauled away, you’ll still be on the hook for the full white glove delivery fee.

Expedited shipping

Allswell offers two-day express shipping to customers in the continental US for a nonrefundable fee of $50. Orders placed by noon EST Monday through Friday will ship out the same day. Orders placed after that cutoff will ship out the next business day.

Tuft & Needle offers same-day shipping to certain ZIP codes in New York City, Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco for a nonrefundable $50 fee per mattress.

Trial periods

Both brands offer nearly identical 100-night trial periods. If you don’t love your new mattress at any point within 100 days of purchase, contact Allswell or Tuft & Needle customer service to arrange a return and refund. Both brands limit this policy to one return per household.

Tuft & Needle extends its 100-night trial to its other products, including the pouch, bed frames and platforms, sheets and pillows.

Allswell offers a 30-day trial on its bedding and mattress toppers.

Positive online reviews

As a newer company, Allswell doesn’t have many online reviews just yet. But according to reviews that customers left on the company’s Facebook page, most people are pleased with the affordable price tag and quality materials. Several reviews mentioned Allswell mattresses relieve back pain, offering a “just right” feel that’s neither too firm nor too soft.

Tuft & Needle gets similar positive reviews online, related to both its affordability and comfort. One reviewer even stated that this mattress is great for sex and sleeping. Others say that their T&N limits motion transfer, allowing couples to get a good night’s rest.

Case study: Gabrielle's experience

Gabrielle Pastorek

Writer

Tuft & Needle’s original foam mattress was the first bed-in-a-box mattress I’d ever tried. The price was right — I paid $600 for a queen size — and the mattress was a huge step up from my very old hand-me-down spring bed. But after sleeping on it for several months, I found it to be a bit too firm and suspected that it was contributing to my back pain. Still, I kept my Tuft & Needle for about two years before getting an Allswell for free.

The original Allswell mattress sells for $375 for a queen, about half the price as the Tuft & Needle’s base model. The other major difference is that Allswell is a hybrid mattress, combining memory foam with individually-wrapped coils, whereas Tuft & Needle is all foam. The Allswell mattress seems to offer better back support without creating pressure points. It’s also considerably more responsive than the Tuft & Needle, making it easier to find a comfortable spot.

I chose my free original Allswell mattress over the Tuft & Needle, which my German Shepherd mix now happily lounges on.

Customer service experience

Allswell has fewer customer service reviews, since it’s been in business for a much shorter time than Tuft & Needle. The company isn’t accredited with the Better Business Bureau, but has a B+ rating. Some customers wrote reviews on Allswell’s Facebook page explaining customer service issues. One customer received the wrong mattress and is unable to speak with customer service about an exchange. Still, others report top-notch customer support and fast, hassle-free delivery.

Tuft & Needle is accredited with the BBB and holds an A+ and 5-star rating. Customers have been pleased with a fast, smooth delivery process, friendly customer service and easy, hassle-free returns. Customer service reviews are similarly glowing on the company’s Facebook page, earning it a 4.6 out of 5 rating.

Bottom line

There are lots of similarities between Allswell and Tuft & Needle, including their price points, trial periods, warranties and financing options. While Allswell edges out T&N with an even more budget-friendly option in its Original Allswell mattress and free shipping to Alaska and Hawaii, Tuft & Needle earns the blue ribbon for excellent customer service.

I personally found Allswell’s Original mattress to be more comfortable than Tuft & Needle’s Original model, thanks to its hybrid design. But if you’re looking for an all-foam option, the Original Tuft & Needle mattress offers a great value.

If you’d still like to shop around for the perfect bed for you, compare other online mattress options before pulling the trigger on one of these brands.

Frequently asked questions

• Which lasts longer: Allswell or Tuft & Needle?

  It depends on the model you choose. In general, hybrid mattresses can last slightly longer than some foam beds, but both brands offer a hybrid option. If you’re comparing the original model for each brand, though, Allswell’s hybrid might last longer than T&N’s all-foam bed.

• Do Allswell mattresses sleep hot?

  No, many customers — including myself — have reported that Allswell mattresses don’t hold onto heat, providing a cool, comfy sleep.

• Do Tuft & Needle mattresses sleep hot?

  No. Many other customers, and I say T&N beds dissipate heat very well and offer a cool night’s rest.
