The Recore Mattress Overview

Pros

• Cooling and Breathable: The Recore mattress has breathable materials, such as its cover and latex comfort layer. These breathable materials enhance its ventilation and allow for steady airflow through its layers. The mattress also has cooling layers, such as its graphite-infused latex layer, which allows you to sleep cool and fresh all night.
• Responsive: The Recore mattress has a comfort layer of latex, which is naturally a bouncy material. This layer allows your bed to be responsive and buoyant. Such great responsiveness promotes easy mobility on the surface of the Recore mattress, allowing you to switch sleeping positions seamlessly.
• Isolate motion: If you are easily disturbed by your partner's tossing and turning all night, the Recore bed would be an excellent choice for you. Being an all-foam bed, it isolates motion from one side of the mattress to the other.

Cons

• Not Suitable for Heavy-Weight Stomach Sleepers: The Recore mattress does a great job of lifting your weight on its surface, thanks to its support core of high-density polyfoam. However, stomach sleepers who weigh more than 250 pounds might feel themselves sinking out of alignment while sleeping on this mattress, which could cause lower back pain.

Who we Recommend the Recore Mattress for

• Couples: When we recommend a mattress for couples, we often think of motion isolation and edge support. The Recore mattress provides excellent motion isolation, due to the fact that it is entirely made with foam. It also has supportive edges, thanks to its support core of dense poly foam. This makes it a great option for couples, as it doesn't transfer motion, and its strong edges make it feel bigger.
• Hot Sleepers: If you tend to overheat while sleeping, the Recore mattress would be an excellent option for you. It has breathable and cooling materials that allow it to dissipate body heat. This would give you a cool and dry sleeping surface to enjoy.
• Side Sleepers: The Recore mattress is a good option for side sleepers because it is soft enough to cushion pressure points but also supportive enough to keep the spine aligned.

Unboxing the Recore Mattress

Recore makes sure that you have a comfortable and smooth experience, starting from the unboxing stage. The mattress arrived compressed in a box, so you will probably need help setting it up. However, despite being heavy, it was all worth it once we unboxed it.

When we unboxed it, we found that the Recore mattress took a few hours to expand to its full size. We also noticed that the mattress expanded all the way to its very edges, making the bed look nicer and more supportive at the edges.

Moreover, most bed-in-a-box mattresses release an irritating smell once they are unboxed, which is called off-gassing. Yet, the Recore mattress hardly produced any overpowering smell. It only had the smell of a new, out-of-the-box product. This means that it is free of harmful chemicals, so you can rest assured that you are using a mattress that prioritizes both your comfort and well-being.

Overall, we found that the unboxing experience of the Recore mattress was seamless and easy.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For the Recore Mattress

The Recore Mattress Firmness

The Recore mattress is a medium-soft mattress, a 5 on our scale, which means that it is on the softer side of the firmness scale.

It is a good option for sleepers who prefer a softer mattress but still need some support. The Recore mattress is also a good option for sleepers who are looking for a mattress that is pressure-relieving.

The Recore Mattress Feel

The Recore mattress has a soft, antimicrobial cover. It is also breathable, so it significantly enhances its ventilation. This gives the mattress a cool and refreshing feel. When we tried sleeping on the Recore for the first time, we experienced a balanced foam feel. The combination of latex and memory foam allows it to have the right amount of sinkage to give you both comfort and support.

The Recore Mattress Comfort

Similar to firmness, how comfortable a mattress is depends on your body weight, preferred sleeping position, and the kind of materials you like.

Medium-soft mattresses are generally considered to be more comfortable than firmer mattresses. This is because they provide more cushioning and support for the body.

Side sleepers will find the Recore mattress's medium-soft feel ideal, as it provides both pressure relief and support.

Average-weight Back sleepers will also benefit from a medium-soft mattress, as it provides good support for the lumbar region. The Recore mattress's medium-soft feel is ideal for most back sleepers, as it helps to keep the spine in a neutral position.

Stomach sleepers typically prefer a firmer mattress, but a medium-soft mattress can still be a good option, as long as it provides enough support for the hips and midsection. The Recore mattress's medium-soft feel is ideal for lighter stomach sleepers, but heavier stomach sleepers may find that it is too soft and does not provide enough support.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Recore is a 10.5-inch all-foam mattress. It is made with layers of latex, memory foam, and high-density polyfoam. These layers are encased in an antimicrobial polyester blend cover with a simple, elegant design. The foam layers of the mattress are also infused with cooling materials that give the bed a cool, refreshing feel, ideal for those who sleep hot or live in warm areas.

Layers

Here is what is inside the Recore mattress:

1. Cover: The mattress's cover is made with a polyester blend that gives it a soft feel and adds to its durability. The cover also has antimicrobial and cooling properties, so it regulates the mattress's temperature and dissipates its heat.
2. Comfort Layer: The comfort layer of the Recore bed consists of graphite-infused latex. Latex gives the mattress a bouncy, yet supportive feel. This would allow you to move more freely on your bed and feel well-supported at the same time. Latex is also a naturally breathable material, and the graphite infused in it makes it extra cooling to the body, allowing you to sleep cool and comfortable all night.
3. Transition Layer: This layer is made with gel-infused memory foam that gives the bed a contouring feel for extra pressure relief. The gel infusion also adds to the cooling performance of the Recore, ensuring you a cool and dry sleep surface to enjoy all night.
4. Support Layer: The support core of the Recore bed consists of firm, high-density polyfoam. This layer makes this bed supportive, so you would feel that you are sleeping on top of the mattress, rather than in it. It also makes it durable and sturdy.

Performance of the Recore Mattress

Cooling

If you tend to overheat while sleeping, then opting for a mattress that offers a good cooling performance is essential for you. We assessed the Recore mattress’ cooling performance by doing our standard test.

The test was that we took 20-minute naps on each side and examined how cool the mattress remained. We found that the mattress remained cool in all sleeping positions.

This was not a surprise to us, as the Recore mattress features cooling materials that would allow it to sleep cool and dry all night.

Therefore, we rated the Recore’s cooling performance a solid 5/5.

Responsiveness

Good responsiveness means that your mattress is bouncy enough and allows for smooth and easy movement.

We tested the mattress’ responsiveness by placing a 20lb ball onto the surface and then removing it. This helps us examine how fast the mattress recovers to its original form after being compressed.

When we did this test, we found that the Recore recovered to its original shape in 1 second. Thanks to the combination of latex and memory foam, this bed has a buoyant, bouncy feel that promotes smooth mobility on its surface. This makes it a great option for combination sleepers, as they can switch sleeping positions on it easily, without feeling stuck.

We rated the Recore mattress’ responsiveness a 4.7/5.

Motion Isolation

If you share a bed with a partner, then motion isolation is super important to you, because no one wants to wake up in the middle of the night because of their partner's tossing and turning. We evaluated the Recore mattress’ motion isolation performance by running a couple of tests.

The first test was that we placed a glass full of water on one side of the mattress, and dropped a heavy ball on the other side. This test allows us to observe how much motion is transferred to the water glass. When we did this test, we found that the glass of water hardly moved when we dropped the ball.

The second test consists of rolling on one side of the bed and having our partner report how much movement is felt on the other side. Our partner reported that very little to no movement was felt on the other side of the bed.

Thanks to containing memory foam, the Recore’s motion isolation performance is definitely one of its strong points. It does an excellent job of isolating motion from one side of the bed to the other, which would guarantee you an interrupted night’s sleep.

We rated the Recore’s motion isolation performance a well-deserved 5/5.

Edge Support

Edge support is important if you are looking for a new mattress. A mattress with good edge support would make you feel well-supported, and allow you to utilize the entire sleeping surface of the mattress, without feeling that you are going to roll out of the bed. We tested the Recore mattress’ edge support by performing two tests.

The first test we did was to apply pressure to the edges of the mattress to see how much it sank. This test indicates if the mattress has strong edges that allow you to freely use the entire bed surface. While doing this test, we found that the edges of the mattress sink a little, but the support core keeps them supportive.

The second test we did consisted of sitting on the edges of the mattress and observing how well it held our body weight. The results of the second test were nearly the same.

The Recore bed offers above-average edge support performance. This would allow you to use the entire bed freely. Such strong edges also add to the durability of the mattress, as not being forced to sleep near the center prevents premature sagging.

We rated the Recore mattress’ edge support a 4.4/5.

Noise

We did our standard noise test to see if the Recore mattress makes any noises or squeaks. Our test involves dropping a heavy ball on the surface of the bed, and reporting how much noise it makes using highly sensitive mics.

When we performed our noise test, we found that the Recore mattress is within the “silent” mattress category. It hardly makes any noise due to the fact that it doesn’t have any innerspring or coils in its structure. This will offer you a quiet and pleasant sleeping experience.

We rated the Recore mattress’ noise performance a solid 5/5.

Sex

We decide if a mattress is a good option for sex based on a number of elements: bounce, edge support, and cooling performance. Based on the results of our tests, the Recore should be an excellent option for sex.

It is made with a combination of latex and memory foam, so it is both bouncy and supportive. The cooling technology featured in it also allows it to dissipate the body’s heat and maintain a cool, refreshing feel. The Recore also has a decent edge support performance, so it allows you to utilize the entire sleep surface freely, without worrying about rolling out of bed.

Therefore, we rated the Recore mattress’ sex performance a 4.5/5.

Pressure Relief

When we sleep, we usually feel pressure building in certain body parts, which are called pressure points. So, it is advisable to opt for a mattress that relieves your pressure points.

We tested the Recore mattress’ pressure relief by taking a 20-minute nap on the mattress and reporting the pressure caused by different body parts. The pressure map below indicates how the mattress responds to each sleeping position.

Back sleepers - Those folks would experience a healthy, pain-free sleep on this mattress. It strikes the perfect balance of comfort and support, which is exactly what back sleepers need. However, heavier back sleepers may sink a bit more than what they’d like.

Side sleepers - The Recore mattress is the perfect mattress for them. With its medium-soft feel, the Recore mattress provides just the right amount of cushioning to relieve pressure points on your shoulders and hips, while also providing enough support to keep your spine in alignment.

Stomach Sleepers - Light and average-weight stomach sleepers would get a perfect spinal alignment while sleeping on the Recore. Yet, heavy-weight stomach sleepers may feel their lower hips sinking too much, which causes pressure buildup in the lower back.

We rated the Recore mattress’ pressure relief a 4.2/5.
