What does this review include

In this brand review, we highlight Amerisleep as a brand, in addition to all of the current mattresses they sell. We draw comparisons between the mattresses to help you identify the perfect mattress for your needs.

If you don’t have much time, here’s a quick overview of the subjects that we’ll be covering in this Amerisleep mattress review.

Amerisleep is a U.S. based mattress company that has revolutionized the sleep industry with their high performance, eco-friendly, custom made mattresses. Even though Casper is known for being one of the original bed-in-a-box mattress companies, Amerisleep existed well before.

Best Known for

Amerisleep has built their brand on creating options for customers. They have five different all-foam mattress models ranging from soft to firm, AS1, AS2, AS3, AS4 and AS5, respectively. These are all memory foam mattresses that feature Amerisleep’s proprietary engineered Bio-Pur Memory Foam. The AS2, AS3 and AS5 models are also available in hybrid designs.

Amerisleep stands out as a brand because they have a mattress for all types of sleepers. That, and Bio-Pur Memory foam is an innovative alternative to memory foam. In our opinion, it solves the common problems that traditional memory foam has. Here are the top benefits that Bio-Pur Memory Foam offers:

  • Breathable and Cooling: Bio-Pur is a large, open-cell structure that allows air to flow freely, preventing heat-build-up.
  • Responsive and Supportive: Bio-Pur has a rapid response time that relieves painful pressure points and bounces back to its original shape quickly.
  • Eco-friendly: Bio-Pur is made using renewable plant-based oils, helping to minimize the use of non-renewable resources.
  • Healthier sleep: Bio-Pur is CertiPUR-US certified, low in VOCs, resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew made without harsh chemicals. Therefore, it’s less likely to off-gas.

While we’ll get into the details of Amerisleep’s many mattresses, we will mostly focus on their all-foam mattress models. They all have similar designs and materials (namely the Bio-Pur memory foam), yet they differ in price, layering, firmness and suitability for sleepers. The AS3 mattress is their mid-level, most popular model. For this reason, we will use it as a basis for comparisons.

Who might like Amerisleep mattresses?

  • Hot sleepers

    Unlike traditional memory foam that is known for trapping body heat, Amerisleep’s mattresses are all made with their Bio-Pur foam which is an open-cell design that promotes breathability and helps you sleep cooler.

  • Combination sleepers

    Amerisleep has a mattress for everyone, specifically any type of sleeper. Whether you’re a back, side or stomach sleeper, you can find a model tailored to you. And if you switch positions, the AS3 will be the perfect fit for you because of its medium feeling that is tailored with an even mix of comfort and support.

  • Couples

    Because the comfort and transition layers do a good job at absorbing motion transfer, you’re better off sharing the bed with a partner because you won’t be distubed by any little movement they make.

  • Memory foam lovers

    From the AS1 to the AS5, you’ll find layers of various memory foam materials in the construction. So regardless of the firmness level, you’ll enjoy that cushioned, cradling feeling that memory foam provides.

  • Pain sufferers

    These mattresses do a great job at reducing pressure points. The combination of a Bio-Pur foam comfort layer and HIVE pressure-relief transition layer makes it so that tension at sensitive areas like the hips, lower back and shoulders are targeted and supported. This also helps to maintain proper spinal alignment.

A bit about Amerisleep

Since 2010, Amerisleep has been leading a sleep revolution. And by our accounts, they are one of the first manufacturers to sell mattresses online. The company was co-founded by brothers Firas and Moe Kittaneh and Joey Holt. Their goal was, and always has been, to offer customers a high performance, eco-friendly, American-made mattress. Having worked in e-commerce, they saw a chance to improve the way that mattresses were designed and sold.

When it comes to innovation, collaboration and creation, Amerisleep has succeeded. By working with production partners, they engineered Bio-Pur memory foam, a breathable, responsive and eco-friendly material. Because of its numerous benefits, the company now uses this material in their mattresses.

After creating the mattress and online experience they then went on to open Amerisleep retail stores that provided a unique in-store mattress shopping experience. Forbes called their showrooms, “The Apple Store of Mattress stores.” And here, it’s their goal to put customer education in the spotlight.

Amerisleep continues to grow and look for ways to improve. Their commitment to bring better sleep to the world, alongside their innovative ideas and high-quality products, gives them a competitive advantage in the industry.

As of today, their manufacturing operations are based in California and their headquarters are in Scottsdale, Arizona.

This 3-layer mattress is one of the best mattresses for back pain because it’s designed to maintain healthy spinal alignment. While it’s slightly too firm for most side sleepers, back sleepers will appreciate the support and comfort around their hips.

How is the AS2 Mattress constructed?

Cover: The cover is made from a blend of polyester and cotton. It’s made to be very soft, breathable to prevent overheating.

Comfort Layer: Right after the cover is 2 inches of Bio-Pur, open-cell memory foam which sleeps cooler than traditional foam and contours to relieve pressure points.

Transitional Layer: Below the comfort layer is 3 inches of Amerisleep’s Hive transition layer. This layer is a slightly wavy design that’s meant to provide targeted support and pressure relief to help you sleep in perfect alignment. Your head, back and legs are supported while your hips and shoulders are more cushioned.

Support Layer: Finally, the Bio-Core foundational layer is 7 inches of high density polyfoam to maintain the mattress structure and provide support to the layers above.

AS3 Mattress

AS3
  • Thickness:
    12 inches

  • Firmness:
    Medium

  • Perfect for:
    Side sleepers and combination sleepers

This is Amerisleep’s best-selling and most popular mattress. Formerly known as the ‘Liberty’, the AS3 has a 3-layer design and average firmness rating. Its design is crafted to provide the perfect balance of comfort, support, softness and pressure relief.

How is the AS3 Mattress constructed?

Cover: Like other Amerisleep mattresses, the cover is made from a soft blend of polyester and cotton. It’s both stretchy and breathable to prevent overheating.

Comfort Layer: The comfort layer is made of 3 inches of Bio-Pur, open-cell memory foam which sleeps cooler than traditional foam and contours to relieve pressure points. Because it’s denser and thicker, it’s designed to provide decent pressure relief and cushioning.

Transitional Layer: Next is 2 inches of their Hive transition layer which is slightly softer than in the AS2, yet still firm enough to provide a buffer between the soft memory foam above and the firmer base below.

Support Layer: The base layer consists of a 7 inch layer of Bio-Core high density polyfoam to maintain the mattress structure and provide support to the layers above.

AS4 Mattress

AS4
  • Thickness:
    12 inches

  • Firmness:
    Medium-soft

  • Perfect for:
    Side sleepers and combination sleepers

While this is similar in design to the AS2 and AS3, the AS4 is slightly different in the thickness of its layers. This 3-layer mattress is the second softest model in the Amerisleep range and has one of the thicker comfort layers. As a result, it provides excellent targeted support and comfort, making it one of the best mattresses for side sleepers.

How is the AS4 Mattress constructed?

Cover: This thin cover is made from a soft blend of polyester and cotton. It’s both stretchy and ultra breathable to prevent overheating.

Comfort Layer: Next is 4 inches of Bio-Pur, open-cell memory foam. Because this layer is thicker, sleepers will feel extra cushioning and pressure-relieving benefits. The weightless, cloud-like comfort feels like a hug. Plus, its open cell design also helps promote airflow and cooling throughout the mattress.

Transitional Layer: After the comfort layer is 1 inch of their Hive transition layer that provides targeted pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.

Support Layers: The base layer consists of a 7 inch layer of Bio-Core high density polyfoam to maintain the mattress structure and provide support to the layers above.

AS5 Mattress

AS5

    14 inches

  • Firmness:
    Medium-soft

  • Perfect for:
    Side sleepers

This model is Amerisleep’s softest and thickest of their mattresses. It’s also made with material not found in the other models, it’s the most luxurious, and the most expensive. That being said, it’s an ideal mattress for side sleepers, heavier sleepers and those who prefer a plush feeling. For some, it will feel like sleeping on a cloud.

How is the AS5 Mattress constructed?

Cover: Similar to all the other models, the AS5 has a thin cover made from a soft blend of polyester and cotton to promote airflow.

Comfort Layers: Right after the cover is 3 inches of their Bio-Pur memory foam to promote breathability and pressure relief. It provides the slow-moving memory foam feeling without trapping your body heat thanks to the open cell structure.

Next is a 2 inch layer of Active Flex foam, a material not found in any of the other models. It adds extra softness to the mattress, without compromising support. So it will help cradle your body when you lie down but rebound if you move positions.

Transitional Layer: Below the Active Flex layer 2 inches of Amerisleep’s Hive targeted polyfoam support that gives pressure relief. It’s zoned so it provides more support for your head, back and legs.

Support Layers: Under all these layers is the foundation - a 7-inch layer of Bio-Core high density polyfoam. This ensures durable support that won’t sag over time.

How does the Amerisleep Mattress compare to competing brands?

Amerisleep (AS3)

Casper

Amerisleep and Casper are both popular, all-foam online mattresses. They both feature similar base layers and zoned technology in their construction. In terms of differences, the Amerisleep AS3 is thicker but Casper will feel slightly firmer. There are also going to be different materials in the comfort layers. While the AS3 features contouring, proprietary Bio-Pur memory foam, Casper uses a 3-zoned responsive layer of memory foam underneath a layer of perforated memory foam. Though they are made with slightly different materials, both mattresses perform well with isolating motion and providing pressure relief. Ultimately, the Casper mattress is the more affordable option.

Who should get the AS3?

  • Sleepers who prefer a slow-moving, soft feeling
  • Side sleepers who want pressure relief
  • Couples who want to reduce motion transfer

Who should get the Casper?

  • Back sleepers looking for good spinal support
  • Shoppers on a budget
  • Combination sleepers needing a balance of responsiveness and comfort

Amerisleep (AS3)

Leesa

Amerisleep and Leesa are both known for creating and selling popular all-foam mattresses. Both brands boast exceptional customer service and generous return policies. The mattresses differ most in price, feeling and construction. Leesa is more affordable than all of the Amerisleep mattresses. But what makes Amerisleep worth the price tag is their special made Bio-Pur memory foam.

Leesa is a comfortable mattress that has a soft, responsive, balanced feeling, while Amerisleep has more of the expected contouring feeling that typically comes from a memory foam mattress. This means that Leesa might be a better fit for back sleepers and Amerisleep will be better suited to side or combination sleepers.

Who should get the AS3?

  • You like a cradling, slow-moving, memory foam feeling
  • You want different firmness options
  • You’re a side or combination sleeper

Who should get the Leesa?

  • You’re on a budget
  • You’re a back sleeper
  • You want a more responsive, balanced foam feeling

Amerisleep (AS3)

Nectar

Nectar is known for their flagship model that’s meant to be universally comforting. On the other side, we have the AS3, a well-rounded, comfortable mattress that is suitable for most sleepers. Out of the whole Amerisleep line, the Nectar mattress is probably most like the AS4 in terms of firmness and feeling.

Nectar is easier on the wallet and a perfect, high-quality choice for people that have a budget of $1,000 or lower. Plus, usually your mattress will also come with free sheets and pillows. Amerisleep’s mattresses cost more, but are made with more advanced material features, including: plant-based, open-cell memory foam and a zoned HIVE transition layer. For this reason, the AS3 will offer slightly more temperature regulations and targeted support. Not to mention, Amerisleep has been around a lot longer than Nectar, and if you are looking for diverse firmness options, then Amerisleep will have more for you to choose from.

Who should get the AS3?

  • Any sleeper (stomach, back or side)
  • Hot sleepers
  • Those looking for a comfortable, more responsive feeling

Who should get the Nectar?

  • Budget-conscious shoppers
  • Side or combination sleepers
  • Those looking for a more plush, slow-moving memory foam feeling

Amerisleep (AS3)

Purple

Purple logo

The AS3 and Purple mattress are very comparable when it comes to the firmness. We felt that both mattresses are medium and around 6.5/10. Though when it comes down to weight, lightweight sleepers may find the Purple to be firmer than for heavyweight sleepers. And for the AS3, the opposite is true. So between the two: Purple is better for heavier individuals and AS3 is better for lightweight individuals.

Purple and AS3 feature similar base layers and cover layers; however, they have different materials in their top layers. The Amerisleep AS3 uses Bio-Pur foam, while the Purple features a hyper-elastic gel polymer grid. When it comes to breathability, both mattresses sleep fairly cool for memory foam, but the Purple is the winner in this regard because of its temperature neutral gel grid.

In general, the Purple feels more squishy and responsive while the AS3 feels more slow-moving and cushioning.

Who should get the AS3?

  • Lightweight sleepers
  • Side sleepers and combination sleepers
  • Couples looking to minimize motion transfer

Who should get the Purple?

  • Hot sleepers
  • Budget-conscious shoppers
  • Heavier sleepers that need more support
  • Back and side sleepers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Amerisleep mattress?
All of Amerisleep’s mattresses are of excellent quality. They all feature plant-based breathable foams and durable support layers. But if we had to pick a favorite, we would choose the AS3 because of it’s medium firm rating and suitability for a variety of sleeper types.

How long do Amerisleep mattresses last?
Amerisleep mattresses are durable and should last you around 7 to 10 years if you take good care of it. But mattresses should be replaced every 8 to 10 years at most anyways.

Does Amerisleep need a box spring?
The Amerisleep mattress doesn’t necessarily need a box spring mattress. In fact, according to the Amerisleep website, their mattresses are not compatible with box springs. Their mattresses are best supported on solid or slatted mattress foundations. And slatted bases should have slats no more than 3 inches apart.

Can you flip Amerisleep mattresses?
No, it’s advised not to flip your Amerisleep mattress because the bed is constructed in a specific order—the base layer needs to be at the bottom and the comfort layers need to be on top. If you flip the mattress, the feeling will be drastically different.
