Video: Amerisleep Mattress Review

Watch our very own CNET Video Producer, , review the Amerisleep mattress. 

Comfort  

Amerisleep Mattress

AS1 is 10 inches thick to achieve a firmer feel. AS2, AS3 and AS4 are 12 inches, and AS5 is 14 inches with an extra soft layer to give it its ultra-plush profile. Below, I break down the most popular AS3 model, but the one you choose will look similar. 

1. The first layer is 7 inches of thick, dense polyurethane foam for the bed’s foundation. 
2. A 2-inch transition layer made with basic poly foam softens up the dense feel of the first layer.
3. A 3-inch layer of Amerisleep’s Bio-Pur memory foam tops off the bed. It includes plant-based oils and helps regulate temperature better than traditional memory foam. 
4. There is a machine-washable cover that you can zip off to clean. It’s also infused with Celliant, a performance material that’s meant to absorb heat and transfer it back to your body as infrared energy — an attempt to help you feel more refreshed and energized in the morning. 

I was impressed that Amerisleep features a machine-washable cover. While it seems simple, you have to spot clean the covers on most of the mattresses I’ve tested.  

Amerisleep Hybrid mattress

The AS3 and AS5 hybrids have pocketed-coil base layers with firm coils around the edges for better edge support. They include the same Bio-Pur memory foam found in the original Amerisleep mattresses. AS5, however, contains an extra layer at the top to make it feel more firm or more soft, depending on the mattress you choose. Below is a breakdown of the popular AS3 Hybrid:

1. A thin layer of foam gives the coils a solid foundation, and adds a little extra comfort.
2. A layer of pocketed coils offers extra support, especially around the edges to ensure you don’t feel like you’re going to fall off the mattress.
3. A layer of Bio-Pur memory foam includes plant-based materials and is open-celled for extra airflow.
4. Amerisleep Hybrid mattresses also come with a machine-washable cover.

Amerisleep Organica

Natural and  have antimicrobial properties; they’re also hypoallergenic and are made more sustainably, making them better for the environment. The Amerisleep Organica mattress is 13 inches thick and is stacked as follows:

1. The base layer is 1 inch of natural Dunlop latex foam to support the pocketed coil layer.
2. The next layer is a thick 8-inch pocketed coil system with firmer coils around the perimeter to promote edge support. 
3. The comfort layer is 3 inches of natural Talalay Latex that feels bouncy, dense and supportive. 
4. To top off the mattress, there’s 1 inch of fluffy premium wool from New Zealand. 
5. The bed is wrapped in a soft, tufted organic cotton cover that’s Global Organic Textile Standard certified. 

Edge support

The Amerisleep beds with the strongest edges were the models, including the Amerisleep Organica. They all have firmer, stronger coils around the perimeter to help with edge support. I could definitely tell the difference between them and the foam models. You don’t feel wobbly or unsupported on the Amerisleep memory foam mattresses, but there is more give around the edges. 

Temperature

Although the memory foam in the Amerisleep mattresses and Amerisleep Hybrids doesn’t retain heat like the classic material, the beds sleep temperature neutral. I think the Amerisleep Organica sleeps the coolest, just because it’s more breathable. Latex foam is perforated, meaning there are tiny holes all throughout the foam, promoting better airflow. That said, the Organica mattress isn’t cool to the touch like other I’ve tested. 

Who is it best for?

Your perfect Amerisleep mattress will depend on your body type and favorite sleeping position. I liked AS3 because it offers a good middle-ground firmness level for when I sleep on my side or my stomach. 

Body type

People under 230 pounds will be comfortable on just about any Amerisleep mattress. Keep in mind that the more you weigh, the softer a mattress is going to feel. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you might find these beds firmer than I described. 

If you’re over 230 pounds, I recommend one of the hybrid mattresses from Amerisleep. They’ll be more comfortable in the long run and last you longer than a foam mattress, which is important when you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a product. 

Position

Side sleepers: AS3, AS4 and AS5 will probably be the best options for . Folks over 230 pounds who favor their side may also like the Amerisleep Organica mattress, but petite side sleepers will want to stay away from that one. 

Back and stomach sleepers: The best Amerisleep mattresses for back and are the firmer beds. Go with AS1, AS2, AS3 or the Organica bed. They all offer ample spinal support to keep your back from sagging into the memory foam. 

Combination sleepers: Honestly, AS3 was made for people like you (and me). It’s Amerisleep’s most popular option, and appeals to just about any sleeping position. Amerisleep Organica is also perfectly fine if you like the sound of a natural and organic mattress. It’s a hair on the firmer side, but I don’t think you’ll mind if you don’t spend a significant amount of time on your side. 

Price

The price for your Amerisleep mattress will vary depending on the model you choose. In this case, the softer the model, the more expensive the mattress.

Prices start at $850 for the AS1 and go up to $1,400 for the king size. The price for AS3 starts around $1,100 for a twin and maxes out around $1,700 for a king. The most expensive model, the AS5, starts at $1,800 for a twin and $2,300 for a king. With that said, you can typically expect to take off up to 30% with frequent promotions. 

The hybrid models cost around $500 more than the foam models and are a little expensive if you pay full price. However, it’s not unusual to see promos for these hybrid beds, which can bring the price down $500 for queen. With a discount, I’d say those prices are reasonable and fair. 

Since Amerisleep Organica is a natural and organic mattress, it is a bit more expensive than regular . Prices start around $1,400 for a twin and max out around $3,200 for a split king. As you might have guessed, there are also promos on this mattress.   

Trial and warranty 

If you’ve never purchased a online, the process might seem a little strange. Essentially, Amerisleep will ship you your mattress for free in a cardboard box. You’ll have 100 nights to test it and see if you like it. If you don’t, you can contact customer service to start the refund process. Customers who keep the mattress get a 20-year warranty. 

Amerisleep mattresses will give off a funky smell once you take them out of the box, but it’s not a cause for concern unless you have an extra-sensitive nose. The smell will disappear in about a day or so. It’s kind of like a new-car smell, but it’s a new-mattress smell. That said, the Amerisleep Organica mattress is an exception because it smells more earthy than anything else. Due to its natural, organic materials, you shouldn’t get any unpleasant odor when you unbox it. 

The final verdict 

Amerisleep has quite the mattress catalog, offering soft, firm and everything in between. I love how the company covers all the bases with a mattress option for almost every sleeper — even environmentally friendly ones. There are a lot of pros and few cons, unless you hate memory foam or you’re on a limited budget. If you’re on the fence, I say give Amerisleep a go and fall back on its 100-night trial policy if you end up unimpressed.

You might like Amerisleep if:

• You love memory foam
• You want an easy-to-clean cover (removable and machine washable)
• You sleep on your side, back, stomach or a combination
• You weigh under or over 230 pounds (foam and hybrid options)
• You suffer from allergies (Organica mattress)
• You value eco-friendly and sustainable products (Organica mattress)
• You want a bed with great edge support (Amerisleep Hybrid mattresses) 

You might not like Amerisleep if:

• You don’t like the hugging, contouring feel of memory foam
• You want to spend less than $800 on a new mattress
