Buy an Ameena Mattress, and they will give one to a family in need.
A soft, motion-isolating foam bed with a straightforward promise: buy one, and Ameena donates one to a family in need.
I could jump around on this mattress and never disturb the person sleeping next to me.
Our reviewerGet a Lot, Give a Lot
The Ameena is a soft mattress — we'd put it at a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale, with the top Energex and gel foam layers giving it a plush feel that still has some bounce. That combination made it a comfortable fit for side sleepers and lighter back sleepers in our testing.
The softness comes at the cost of some support. The bed's 6 inches of high-density foam form its foundation, but we found it a bit too soft overall, and edge support was noticeably weak — sitting near the perimeter, you sink in more than expected.
Where the Ameena earns real credit is motion isolation and temperature. The Energex top layer responds more quickly than typical memory foam, so the bed still feels somewhat lively despite its softness, and jumping on one side barely registered on the other. The Thermaphase Gel Memory Foam layer pulled heat away effectively, with no complaints of overheating during testing. There was some initial off-gassing smell, typical of foam beds, that dissipated within a day or two — all materials are Low VOC and CertiPUR-US approved.
Beyond the mattress itself, Ameena's Dream movement donates a bed to a family in need for every mattress purchased, which — combined with a reasonable $800 queen price, a 120-night trial, and up to $60 off — makes this an easy recommendation for soft-bed sleepers who also like what their purchase supports.

Our Hands-On Review
The Ameena's Energex top layer blends with the memory foam beneath to create a soft feel with more responsiveness than plain memory foam — it doesn't fully sink under you, but it's clearly a soft-leaning bed best suited to side sleepers and lighter back sleepers.
Pressure relief was strong across the shoulders and hips for side sleeping, though sitting on the edge of the mattress revealed noticeably more sink than we'd like from the support layer.
You Won't Wake Up Your Partner
The soft foam top layers deliver strong motion isolation — jumping on the mattress didn't disturb a person sleeping on the other side, while the Energex layer still kept the bed feeling responsive rather than dead.
