Yawnder Reviews · Legacy review restored September 2026
Original Canadian performance-foam testing
My verdict: Recore’s responsive upper layer made changing positions easy. My bowling-ball demonstration showed some bounce while the second ball barely moved. This is my experience with the 2019 sample; the brand was discontinued in 2024.
Construction
The reviewed Recore combined a responsive graphite-latex-like upper layer, a cooling-gel foam transition layer and a support-foam base under a removable zippered cover.
Sinkage and response
Our 14-pound bowling ball showed moderate sinkage. The top layer recovered quickly, making position changes easier than on slow traditional memory foam.
Motion and bounce
Motion transfer remained low, but the dropped bowling ball still rebounded noticeably. That balance—low partner disturbance with some liveliness—was one of the mattress’s more interesting traits.
Inside the mattress
Yawnder unzipped the cover and photographed perforations in the upper layer, the gel-foam transition layer and the base support foam. The openings were designed to increase airflow through the comfort system.
Our 2019 review shows the earlier Recore mattress; the model has since been discontinued.
Current-shopping note
Recore is discontinued, so this page is preserved as a historical hands-on review for reference rather than a current shopping recommendation.

More original testing
I photographed the edge and the zippered cover, which I could reach without lifting the mattress. I also opened the mattress to show the perforated upper foam and how its layers reacted. The ball demonstration is illustrative, not a standardized motion-transfer score.
Support for Recore owners
Recore was discontinued in 2024. Octave’s Recore support page directs existing owners to its customer-service team for warranty and post-purchase questions. Check your original terms and eligibility directly.
Frequently asked questions
Was Recore a hybrid? The sample I reviewed used foam layers without springs.
Are the old trial terms current? Do not assume so; contact the support team about your purchase.
