Amerisleep

What do Amerisleep mattresses feel like?

The foam Amerisleep mattress options feel dense, and more like traditional memory foam than the Amerisleep Hybrid mattresses. The foam takes longer to bounce back once you switch positions, and the soft Amerisleep mattresses will especially hug the curves of your body. AS3 through AS5 are particularly pressure-relieving for side sleepers and contour around your hips and shoulders. 

Hybrid Amerisleep mattresses still have a pressure-relieving memory foam feel, but they are bouncier and more responsive than the foam models. This is partly due to the springy coils that sit on the bottom of the mattress. It’s almost more of a mix between a neutral foam and memory-foam feel. 

The Amerisleep Organica mattress takes responsive and bouncy up a level by combining pocketed coils and springy latex. If your kids like a bouncy mattress, this would be a fun one. It bounces back immediately to pressure, making it really easy to switch positions. It’s also supportive, and you don’t sink into the foam like you do on the original Amerisleep mattress models. I also think the wool in the top layer helps contribute to pressure relief, which isn’t as common when it comes to latex foam mattresses

How firm are the Amerisleep mattresses?

The AS5 is the most plush (I’d rate it at a medium-soft or 3 out of 10, with 10 being the firmest) and it’s made with one additional layer that I’ll get into below. This is what gives it the extra-cushy feeling. You can also get the AS5 in a hybrid construction. 

AS2 is on the opposite end of the spectrum as the firmest of the pack, around a medium-firm or 7. I sit more on top of this mattress rather than sinking into it because it’s so firm. However, you do still feel that memory foam molding to your body, and I think it will be pleasant for folks interested in a firmer mattress. The AS2 was previously available as a hybrid, but that model was discontinued, and it’s now available only as an all-foam bed. 

AS3 is right in the middle and offers a balanced firmness profile around a 5 out of 10. It’s also the most popular option, which doesn’t surprise me since it accommodates the widest range of sleeping positions. The AS3 is also available in a hybrid construction.

Amerisleep Organica mattress competes with the likes of Avocado and Birch. It’s a hybrid mattress that incorporates natural and organic materials. It’s softer than other organic mattresses I’ve tested, which is a big plus. I rated it around a medium to medium-firm, while many other organic mattresses with latex are firmer.

Motion isolation

Memory foam is great at isolating motion, and the foam Amerisleep mattresses take the crown here. However, that isn’t to say the hybrid Amerisleep mattress models have poor motion-isolating capabilities. If you need the extra support they provide, the slightly lesser-performing motion isolation is easy to look past. As far as the Organica Amerisleep mattress goes, you might feel some movement due to the nature of the materials.

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. The hybrid models cost 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.

Since Amerisleep Organica is a natural and organic mattress, it is a bit more expensive than regular bed-in-a-box mattresses. Prices start at $1,499 for a twin and max out around $2,789 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 bed-in-a-box mattress 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. 

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
