Amerisleep Reviews Overview
Amerisleep is on a mission to make a range of bed models so that any type of sleeper has an option that is right for them. The brand offers five core mattress models, all of which differ in terms of price, construction, and firmness. The beds are named AS1, AS2, AS3, AS4 and AS5. As you progress from AS1 to AS5, the mattresses become thicker, softer and more expensive.
You should also know that Amerisleep AS2, AS3 and AS5 beds are available in hybrid designs. In other words, with these three models, you can opt for pocketed coils instead of dense foundation foam for more support. You can see all of the different mattresses on Amerisleep’s website.
Below is a short video outlining what you need to know about all five Amerisleep mattresses.
The video above is just an overview of the beds. We’ve compiled a full, detailed review below so you can learn more before making a final decision.
Comparing Amerisleep Mattress Beds
The AS1 Mattress is the cheapest and firmest bed in the Amerisleep lineup.
Construction and Design
It consists of just two layers and totals 10″ thick. The base Bio-Core support layer is 8″ thick, and the top memory foam layer is 2″ thick.
Firmness
The AS1 lands around a straight firm on the firmness scale, and it’s the firmest mattress from the Amerisleep lineup. Given the firmness profile of the bed, it’s going to best for strict back and stomach sleepers. The company likes to say this model is for people who like extra support.
Price
Prices from around $850 for a twin size to $1,400 for a king size, but they do run discounts that make the mattress more affordable.
This is the company’s most popular mattress among back and stomach sleepers. It’s also available in a hybrid model.
Construction and Design
The Amerisleep AS2 uses three separate foam layers and totals 12″ thick. From bottom to top, the bed consists of:
- A 7″ Bio-Core base layer
- 3″ poly foam transition layer
- 2″ Bio-Pur memory foam layer
Firmness and Feel
This Amerisleep mattress model lands around a medium-firm on our firmness scale. Like all the other Amerisleep beds, it has a dense memory foam feel.
We recommend this Amerisleep mattress to people who spend the majority of the night on their back or stomach.
Price
The Amerisleep AS2 ranges from around $1,000 to $1,600. It’s not the cheapest mattress of the bunch, but it’s one of the more affordable.
The Amerisleep AS3 is the company’s flagship and best-selling mattress. It’s also the model that we spent the most time testing and comes in a hybrid version.
Design and Construction
It has a very similar construction to that of the AS2, except it uses 3″ of memory foam on top and a 2″ transition layer in between. It too comes in at 12″ thick.
Firmness and Feel
Overall, the AS3 comes in right around a medium on the firmness scale.
The company likes to say this is their most versatile mattress and that it evenly blends comfort and support. After testing the bed, we tend to agree. We feel like Amerisleep AS3 accommodates all types of sleepers. It doesn’t matter whether you primarily sleep on your side, back, stomach or a combination of the three.
Price
Amerisleep AS3 ranges from around $1,100 (twin) to $1,700 (king). That extra 1″ of memory foam is why it’s slightly more expensive than the AS2, and AS3 is slightly softer than the AS2 due to the fact it uses an extra inch of memory foam.
Continuing on down the line is the AS4, which is a great option for people who like their beds on the softer side of the spectrum.
Design and Construction
The AS4 totals 12″ thick and uses three separate foam layers. From bottom to top, you’re looking at:
- 7″ base layer
- 1″ transition layer
- 4″ layer of their special Bio-Pur memory foam
Firmness and Feel
Overall, Amerisleep AS4 comes in right around a medium-soft on the firmness scale. As such, we think it’s best for side sleepers and petite to average-sized combo sleepers.
Price
Given the bed uses even more memory foam than the AS3, you can probably guess which way its price tag points (we’ll give you a hint, it’s upwards). This bed will cost you between $1,400 (twin) to $1,900 (king).
Finally, we have the AS5, the company’s softest and most premium mattress. This bed is also available in a hybrid version.
Design and Construction
Amerisleep AS5 is the only mattress in the lineup that is comprised of more than three layers. To be specific, the bed uses four foam layers and totals a whopping 14″ thick, making it one of the plushest mattresses in the market.
- For the bottom, the bed uses a 7″ layer of the Bio-Core support foam previously discussed.
- Next is a 2″ transition layer similar to the one on the AS3.
- On top of the transition foam is a 2″ layer of what the company calls its “Active Flex Layer.” This is a responsive comfort foam that is only available on the AS5.
- Rounding out the mattress is a 3″ layer of the same memory foam found on the other four models.
Firmness and Feel
All in all, it comes in around a straight soft on the firmness scale and is best for strict side sleepers.
Price
Given the AS5 is the company’s most intricate mattress in terms of materials and construction, it’s also the most expensive. You’re looking at around $1,800 for a twin and $2,300 for a king.
Similarities Between Amerisleep Beds
Construction and Design
Each Amerisleep mattress is slightly different, but there are major commonalities between each bed. To be specific, each mattress contains:
- Bio-Core Foam —This foam serves as the foundation layer for each mattress. Depending on which model you select, the layer will be either 7″ or 8″ thick. It’s worth noting that this layer is partially made from plants instead of petroleum, meaning it’s eco-friendly. If you opt for the AS2 Hybrid, AS3 Hybrid or AS5 Hybrid, these beds simply replace the Bio-Core Foam with a system of pocketed coils.
- Affinity Transition Poly Foam — A slightly softer foam meant to act as a transition or comfort layer, so you don’t feel the dense foundation layer underneath.
- Active Flex Layer — This layer is specific to the AS5 and is meant to provide additional cushion and plushness.
- Bio-Pur Memory Foam —This is a special memory foam that is used for the top layer on each Amerisleep mattress. It’s supposed to be slightly more responsive and breathable than traditional memory foam. Depending on which model you select, this layer will be between 2-4″ thick.
AS1 Mattress will only be 10″ thick. AS2, AS3, and AS4 are a bit thicker at 12″. Finally, AS5 is 14″ thick and includes one additional layer of poly foam.
Feel And Firmness
Despite the differences between the beds, let’s just be clear, all five models are considered memory foam mattresses. All five mattresses use memory foam for their top layer, which unsurprisingly gives the beds a memory foam feel. As you lay down on Amerisleep beds, they feel firm at first, but then after a few seconds, you start to burrow into the top layer a little, and you can feel the memory foam sort of wrapping your body.
Amerisleep Pricing & Coupon Code
The most affordable Amerisleep bed in their lineup (AS1) has a queen size MSRP of around $1,200. From there, pricing continues to rise to about $2,100 for a queen size AS5. Keep in mind; if you’d like to upgrade to one of their hybrid models, it will cost you an extra $200.
Speaking honestly, we think the pricing is a little high; however, to be fair, the numbers mentioned above are based on MSRP. Amerisleep does seem to be fairly aggressive when it comes to discounts and coupon codes. In most cases, you can expect to receive a $200-$250 discount on your purchase. It might be a good idea to locate the green box on your screen to check current pricing and promotions.
Amerisleep Hybrid Mattresses
The AS2, AS3 and AS5 beds also come in hybrid models. For reference, these models are named AS2, AS3 and AS5. They’re essentially the same beds as their all-foam counterparts, except they contain pocketed coils for their primary support framework. Keep in mind; coils are more expensive than foam from a manufacturing standpoint, so the upgrade is not free. It will cost you an extra $200 if you decide you want coils.
Amerisleep Review Verdict
Overall, we like the Amerisleep beds. They’re well-made, comfortable mattresses, but at the end of the day, we have to call a spade a spade. The bottom line is that these beds are a little pricey given their all-foam constructions. There are plenty of other nice memory foam beds on the market that are much more affordable. We recommend you take a look at our list of the Best Mattresses Under $1,000 and go from there.
However, if you’re not so concerned about price and you just want a high-quality memory foam bed, then Amerisleep is definitely a good option.

The Review Team
The Slumber Yard team purchased the Amerisleep mattress. We retain full editorial control over the reviews, comparisons and buyer guides we publish.
Amerisleep requires you place their mattresses on solid flat surfaces. Even if you have a newer box spring with no misshaped or broken coils, the company recommends you place a piece of 3/4″ plywood on top of the box spring for additional support.
The company recommends you sleep on your new mattress for at least 30 nights. This is typically how long it takes for your body to adjust to a new sleep surface.
Amerisleep beds are manufactured in the USA. The company even uses a special, eco-friendly VPF process for manufacturing their foams.
Amerisleep offers 5 different beds that range in firmness from ultra plush to ultra firm. They offer AS1, AS2, AS3, AS4, and AS5.
Our favorite is Amerisleep AS3. It is around a “medium” on firmness and is really comfortable.
All the Amerisleep mattresses have a responsive memory foam feel. They DO NOT feel like your standard memory foam that has a viscous/thick feel.
