We preserved the original physical evidence while separating historical observations from current buying information. Any price, trial or current model claim should be checked on the exact product sold today.
Quick verdict
Yawnder’s original Amore queen review is particularly useful for couples: one side was medium and the other firm. Original photos show the distinct sinkage and the pocket-coil construction. That left/right firmness option is different from a flippable mattress with a separate firmness on its top and bottom, so modern product naming needs careful checking.
Real photos from the reviewed product
These are historical Yawnder review images of the original model, not AI-generated stock photography or photos of a different mattress generation.
Who it fits—and what to watch
Strengths in the original review
- A clear medium-versus-firm comparison on one mattress
- Original teardown and sinkage pictures
- Evidence of coil support and foam perimeter
Important limitations
- Do not mistake split-side firmness for a flippable mattress
- Original firmness impressions are subjective and model-specific
- Current customization choices, price and trial may differ
Original firsthand findings
Two comfort feels in one bed
The historical queen was made with a medium side and a firm side. Yawnder found the center transition subtle enough that the two halves did not feel like completely separate mattresses.
Foam and pocket-coil system
The original opened mattress revealed memory foam and additional foam layers over a relatively shallow pocket-coil unit plus a reinforced foam perimeter. These features explain why it felt like a foam-and-coil hybrid rather than two stacked standalone mattresses.
Visible sinkage difference
The documented sinkage images showed more compression on the medium side than the firm side, while both sides retained some surface cushioning. This demonstrates the left/right difference in that specific test unit.
Movement and durability
Foam above the coils absorbed some movement in the original test. That does not prove an independent, current motion score or a guaranteed service life for later models.
Evidence standard: these observations reflect Yawnder's original product, not a new 2026 lab retest or a comparable numeric score.
Model and review facts
| Tested configuration | Queen mattress with medium left/right half and firm half |
|---|---|
| Support system | Historical pocket coils plus foam perimeter |
| Best historical feature | Partner firmness customization |
| Present-day offerings | Check exact split-side and flippable options separately |
| New standardized score | Not assigned |
Who should consider a comparable model today?
Couples wanting different feels can start by asking whether they need left/right customization or an entirely separate split king. Dimensions, motion and adjustable-base compatibility matter as much as a firmness label.
How it compares
A split-firmness queen keeps one mattress footprint while allowing a different comfort configuration on each side. A split king uses two separate twin XL mattresses. Explore modern mattress reviews before selecting the system.
Common questions
Does two-sided mean you can flip the mattress?
Not necessarily. This original Amore was medium on one side of the bed and firm on the other; flipping top-to-bottom is a different feature.
Is there a ridge between the sides?
The original reviewer found the transition subtle, but that observation applies only to the reviewed configuration.
Can the original test predict current Amore firmness?
No. Current layers, specifications and models need to be evaluated individually.

Amore Beds Review: Original Split-Firmness Queen Hybrid
The Amore page had been reduced to a short summary even though Yawnder tested a split-firmness queen and opened the mattress to inspect the layers and pocket coils.
Split firmness for couples
The reviewed queen had a firm side and a medium side. The transition across the center was subtle enough that the two halves did not feel like separate mattresses.
Hybrid construction
The mattress combined graphite-infused memory foam, additional foam layers and a four-inch pocket-coil unit surrounded by a rigid foam perimeter.
Firmness difference
Yawnder’s sinkage photos showed a clear difference between medium and firm sides. Even the firmer option retained some pressure relief instead of feeling like bare springs.
Motion transfer
Both sides controlled motion well because the foam layers absorbed much of the impact before it reached the pocket coils.
Why it was unusual
At the time, affordable split-firmness hybrids were uncommon. The ability for couples to choose different comfort levels was the main reason the Amore stood out.
Does Amore still make split-firmness mattresses?
Amore Beds currently advertises several customized mattress styles, including options with firmness selected on each side and separate two-sided, flippable constructions. These are not interchangeable designs: my original test was a queen with one side medium and the other firm, not a test of today's entire collection. Compare the current construction and whether 'two-sided' means top-and-bottom flippability or left-and-right partner firmness on Amore's current mattress catalog.
