Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid Mattress Review

In a world where a good night’s sleep feels increasingly elusive, the AS5 Hybrid emerges as a beacon of hope for side sleepers, combination sleepers, and anyone who’s ever wished their mattress could envelope them in a soft, supportive embrace.

Imagine sinking into a cloud that perfectly contours to your body, cradling you in plush comfort while somehow managing to keep you cool and supported throughout the night. That’s what the mattress promises its sleepers.

But here’s the million-dollar question (or in this case, the couple-thousand-dollar question): Does it live up to the hype?

To answer that, I’ve spent more time horizontal than vertical lately, putting the AS5 Hybrid through its paces. From its plant-based memory foam to its responsive coil system, I’ve probed, prodded, and yes, even drooled on this mattress to bring you the unvarnished truth.

Inside the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid: Materials and Construction

The AS5 Hybrid is Amerisleep’s softest hybrid model. It’s designed to offer plush comfort while still providing necessary support. The combination of foam layers and pocketed coils aims to balance comfort, support, and temperature regulation.

The unboxing process was straightforward, though I’d recommend having a partner to help. The AS5 Hybrid arrives compressed and rolled in a box, which is both convenient for delivery and eco-friendly, reducing the carbon footprint of shipping. As I carefully cut away the plastic wrapping, the mattress began to expand, almost as if it was taking its first deep breath.

One pleasant surprise was the lack of strong off-gassing odors that often accompany newly unboxed mattresses. The AS5 Hybrid had only a faint, neutral smell, which I attribute to Amerisleep’s use of plant-based foams and their commitment to low-VOC materials.

As the mattress fully expanded over the next few hours, its impressive 14-inch profile became apparent. Even before lying down, I could see the quality craftsmanship in the neat stitching and cover pattern.

Mattress Cover

The mattress starts with a technologically advanced Refresh Cooling Cover. This cover is made from high energy transfer fibers that draw heat away from your skin.

It’s designed to keep the sleeping surface up to 7 degrees cooler over an 8-hour night. The cover uses minerals to convert body heat into far infrared energy, which may improve blood circulation and muscle recovery, promoting better sleep quality.

And it’s all well worth it. The first thing I noticed when I lay down on the AS5 Hybrid was its cool-to-the-touch surface.

Comfort Foam

Next comes the Bio-Pur® foam layer, Amerisleep’s proprietary plant-based memory foam. This layer is more breathable and cooler than traditional memory foam due to its open-cell structure that allows better airflow.

Furthemore, the Bio-Pur® foam is eco-friendly, using renewable plant-based oils. It’s also CertiPUR-US® certified, low in VOCs, and resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew.

When I moved around, I noticed that it responded quickly, bouncing back in seconds. Despite its responsiveness, it still did an excellent job of relieving pressure points, especially when I slept on my side.

Transition Foam

Unique to the AS5 and AS5 Hybrid is the Active Flex layer. This responsive foam layer provides extra cushioning for a plush feel while helping to maintain healthy spinal alignment. It adds responsiveness to prevent feeling “stuck” in the mattress.

As a predominantly side sleeper, I really appreciated this extra cushioning. This layer seems to strike a fine balance between soft comfort and necessary support.

Pocketed Coils

The core of the AS5 Hybrid is a layer of pocketed coils. This layer offers responsive support with more bounce than all-foam models. It allows for extra airflow, enhancing the mattress’s cooling properties.

The individual coils limit motion transfer and provide more localized cushioning and support. With the foam layers above, the bed can offer truly amazing motion isolation. The coil system also features reinforced edge support for better stability when sitting or lying near the edge of the mattress.

Testing Sleep Positions

Not everyone sleeps the same way. Some people like to sleep on their side, others on their back or stomach, and some move around a lot during the night.

Based on my testing, I found the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid to be a versatile mattress that performs well for most sleep positions. It’s especially good for side sleepers and combination sleepers like me.

Back sleepers should also find it very comfortable. Stomach sleepers, particularly heavier ones, might want to consider a firmer mattress option.

Remember, though, that comfort is personal. What feels great to me might not be perfect for you. It’s always a good idea to take advantage of sleep trials to make sure a mattress works well for your specific sleep needs and preferences.

Side Sleeping

Side sleeping is the most common sleep position and my preferred way to drift off, so I paid extra attention here. I laid on my side in different spots on the mattress to see how it felt. I checked how well my hips and shoulders sank into the mattress and looked for any pressure points. I also made sure my spine stayed aligned.

I found that the AS5 Hybrid performed excellently as a mattress for side sleeping, which wasn’t a surprise as it’s clearly designed for that. Its soft top layers allowed my hips and shoulders to sink in just right, relieving pressure points.

At the same time, the supportive coils kept my spine aligned well. Even after several hours, I didn’t feel any uncomfortable pressure points.

Back Sleeping

Back sleeping needs a good balance of comfort and support. So I laid on my back in different parts of the mattress to test it out.

I checked if my lower back was supported or if there was a gap. I made sure my spine stayed in a neutral position and looked for any pressure points, especially under my shoulders or hips.

I found that the AS5 Hybrid did very well as a mattress for back sleeping. The soft top layers contoured nicely to the curve of my lower back, providing good lumbar support. The supportive coils kept my body from sinking too deep, maintaining good spinal alignment.

I think some very heavy back sleepers might prefer a firmer mattress, but for those who enjoy plush cushion, it’s a great mattress.

Stomach Sleeping

Stomach sleeping is tricky on soft beds because it’s easy for your hips to sink too far, which can hurt your back. While it’s not my go-to, I lay on my stomach in different spots on the mattress to see how it performed.

I checked if my hips sank too far down, which could bend my spine. I also made sure I could breathe comfortably without straining my neck and looked for any pressure points, especially under my chest or hips.

I found that the AS5 Hybrid is quite soft, which can be challenging for stomach sleeping. While it was comfortable for me, I think some stomach sleepers (especially heavier ones) might find their hips sinking too far. Using it as a stomach sleeping mattress could lead to lower back strain over time.

Combination Sleeping

Many people change positions during the night, myself included. So I tested how easy it was to move around on the mattress. I changed positions many times (side to back, back to stomach, etc.) and checked how easy it was to move without feeling “stuck” in the mattress.

I looked at how well the mattress adjusted to my new position each time. I also had a partner lie still on the other side to see if my movements disturbed them.

I found that the AS5 Hybrid performed very well as a mattress for combination sleeping. Despite being soft, it was easy for me to change positions without feeling stuck.

In particular, the responsive coils helped with easy movement, ensuring the soft top didn’t impede me. The mattress quickly adjusted to my new sleep positions, providing good support and comfort in each.

It also did a good job of not disturbing my partner when I moved, as I discuss in motion isolation.

How Responsive Is the Mattress?

In mattress terms, responsiveness refers to how quickly a mattress recovers its shape after you move or change positions. A responsive mattress bounces back fast, while a less responsive one may leave a temporary impression of your body.

Quick responsiveness ensures that the mattress is always contouring to your body, providing consistent support as you move, along with making it just easier to move at all. Highly responsive mattresses also prevent that sinking, quicksand-like feeling that some people dislike in softer memory foam beds.

Despite its soft, cushioning feel, the AS5 Hybrid surprised me with its quick response. After thorough testing, I’m giving it an impressive 9 out of 10 for responsiveness. Here’s why this mattress excels in this area.

The Press Test

I pressed my hand firmly into different areas of the mattress and observed how quickly it regained its shape when I removed my hand.

When I removed pressure from any point on the mattress, it sprang back almost immediately. This is likely due to the combination of Amerisleep’s responsive Bio-Pur® foam and the bouncy pocketed coil system.

Roll Test

I lay on the mattress and quickly rolled from my back to my side, then to my stomach, noting how easily I could move and how quickly the mattress adapted.

And I found I could change positions with ease. The mattress quickly adapted to my new position without any feeling of being “stuck” or fighting against the foam.

The Ball Drop and Bounce Test

I dropped a 10-pound weight ball onto the mattress from a consistent height and measured the bounce.

The bounce test showed a lively response, with the weight bouncing back significantly. However, it wasn’t so bouncy as to be disruptive, striking a nice balance between responsiveness and motion isolation.

This high level of responsiveness sets the AS5 Hybrid apart from many other soft mattresses on the market. The buoyancy contributes to the overall comfort and versatility of this mattress, establishing a weightless cushion without feeling trapped in their bed.

How Well Does the Mattress Isolate Motion?

This refers to a mattress’s ability to absorb and minimize the transfer of movement from one part of the bed to another. Good motion isolation means you’re less likely to feel your partner’s movements during the night.

If you or your partner is a light sleeper while another tends to move a lot during sleep, a mattress for couples that stops movement from spreading can be the difference between a good night’s sleep and a restless one. And for couples who go to bed or wake up at different times, motion isolation helps ensure that one partner’s movements don’t disturb the other’s sleep.

When it comes to motion isolation, the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid proves to be a top performer. After extensive testing, I’m awarding it an impressive 9 out of 10 for motion isolation. To evaluate this, I conducted several tests:

• Partner Movement Test: My partner and I took turns moving around, getting in and out of bed, while the other person lay still, trying to detect any transferred motion.
• Bounce Test: I dropped a weighted object on one side of the mattress and observed how much movement was felt on the other side.
• Sleep Test: Over several nights, I noted any disturbances caused by my partner’s movements during actual sleep.

The AS5 Hybrid performed exceptionally well in all these tests. During the partner movement test, I could barely feel my partner’s movements, even when they got in and out of bed.

The bounce test showed minimal transfer of motion across the mattress surface. And during our sleep test, I found that I slept through my partner’s movements much more easily than on many other mattresses I’ve tested.

The combination of the Bio-Pur® memory foam layer and the individually wrapped coils seems to be the key to this excellent motion isolation. The foam absorbs a significant amount of movement, while the individually wrapped coils prevent motion from traveling through the support core.

I should note that while all-foam mattresses often excel in this area, hybrid mattresses can sometimes struggle due to the bouncier nature of their coil systems. The AS5 Hybrid, however, manages to combine the motion-absorbing properties of memory foam with a well-designed coil system to deliver excellent motion isolation.

Whether you’re dealing with a partner who tosses and turns, different sleep schedules, or just want to ensure the most peaceful sleep possible, the AS5 Hybrid’s motion isolation capabilities are likely to impress you.

How Does the Edge Support Hold Up?

With strong edges, you can comfortably use the entire mattress surface, effectively giving you more sleeping space. Couples can spread out more without feeling like they’re about to roll off, which can be particularly useful on a queen-size mattress.

But excellent edge support isn’t just about preventing you from rolling off the bed. Strong edges make it easier to get in and out of bed, which is especially beneficial for those with limited mobility.

After thorough testing, I’m giving the mattress a perfect 10 out of 10. Whether you’re someone who likes to spread out, needs help getting in and out of bed, or just wants to use every inch of your mattress, the AS5 Hybrid’s excellent edge support has got you covered.

• The Sit Test: When I sat on the edge of the AS5 Hybrid, I was immediately impressed by its stability. Unlike some softer mattresses that can feel like you’re sliding off, the AS5 Hybrid provided firm, consistent support. I felt secure whether I was sitting to put on shoes or just perching on the side of the bed.
• Lying Near the Edge: Sleeping near the edge is where many mattresses fall short, but not the AS5 Hybrid. When I lay down close to the edge, I felt just as supported as I did in the center of the mattress. There was no sensation of rolling off, which can be a common issue with softer beds.
• Getting In and Out of Bed: The sturdy edges made getting in and out of bed a breeze. I never felt like I was struggling against a sagging edge, which can be particularly important for those with mobility issues.

The all-foam version already had good edge support, but the hybrid takes it to another level. The combination of the supportive coils and the contouring foam layers creates a perfect balance. You get the plush comfort of foam with the robust support of reinforced coils.

And unlike some hybrid mattresses where you might feel the transition from foam to coils near the edge, the AS5 Hybrid maintains a consistent feel across the entire surface.

The Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid’s perfect 10/10 score is well-deserved. It manages to provide robust edge support without compromising on the plush, comfortable feel that defines this mattress. Whether you’re sleeping, sitting, or moving around, you’ll feel secure and supported right up to the very edge of the mattress.

This exceptional edge support, matching and even enhancing that of the original all-foam AS5, is a testament to Amerisleep’s thoughtful design and high-quality construction. It’s a feature that sets the AS5 Hybrid apart in the world of soft, luxury mattresses.

How Long Should the Mattress Last?

When you buy a new mattress, you want to know how long it will last. After all, a mattress is a big purchase! But I’ll confess, I always approach this part with a bit of nervousness.

As a mattress tester, I only get to use the mattress for a few weeks or months. That’s not enough time to see how it will hold up over many years.

Plus, everyone uses mattresses differently. How long a mattress lasts depends on things like how much you weigh, how you sleep, and how well you take care of the mattress. Furthermore, the materials in a mattress can change slowly over the years in ways we can’t see right away.

So, when I talk about how long a mattress will last, know that I’m making the best guess I can based on what I know. It’s a flawed process, but without a crystal ball that tells me the future it’s all I’ve got.

Even though I can’t truly mimic the effects of testing a bed for years, I did some things to check how durable the AS5 Hybrid seems:

• Pressure Tests: I put heavy weights on different parts of the mattress to see how it bounced back, much like how I tested its responsiveness.
• Edge Sit Test: I sat on the edges many times to see if they stayed strong or got weak.
• Roll Test: I rolled across the mattress many times to see if it kept its shape.

And overall, the forecast for the AS5’s durability is looking pretty good. The Bio-Pur® foam and sturdy coils in this mattress are responsive and made to last. They held up really well during my tests. In particular, the firmed-up sides of the reinforced edges help the mattress keep its shape and support.

Furthermore, Amerisleep offers a 20-year warranty on this mattress. That shows they trust it to last a long time as a mattress that won’t sag.

Based on everything we’ve seen, I think the AS5 Hybrid should last about 8 to 10 years with normal use. This is a bit longer than the average mattress lifespan of 6-8 years.

Remember, though, that how long your mattress lasts depends a lot on how you use it. Here are some tips to help your mattress last longer:

• Use a mattress protector to keep it clean.
• Rotate the mattress every few months.
• Don’t jump on the bed (as fun as that might be!).
• Use a solid base or bed foundation to support the mattress well.

Just remember, even the best mattress won’t last forever. If you start to notice sagging, lumps, or that you’re not sleeping as well, it might be time for a new mattress.

Does the Mattress Sleep Cool?

When you’re too hot at night in bed, you toss and turn more. This can wake you up or make your sleep less restful. Conversely, a cool bed can help you fall asleep faster. Your body naturally cools down a bit when it’s time to sleep, and a cool mattress helps with this.

Complicating the issue, it’s not just a matter of keeping your sleeping space cool. Some people naturally sleep hot. For them, a cooling mattress can be the difference between a good night’s sleep and a sweaty, uncomfortable one.

Because it is so important I always approach this testing aspect with the determination to answer for certain whether or not a mattress sleeps cool. I often regard coolness as the third most important part of a well-built bed, just behind comfort and support.

And after thorough testing, I’m giving the AS5 Hybrid a perfect 10 out of 10 for cooling. Here’s a breakdown of the tests I performed:

• The Hand Test: I placed my hands on different parts of the mattress for 30 seconds to five minutes. I checked how cool it felt at first and if it warmed up quickly, happy when the chill of the bed persisted under my palm.
• The Lying Down Test: I laid on the mattress for 15 minutes, then got up and immediately felt the spot where I had been lying. This was to check how warm it felt, but it felt cool to the touch, even after lying on it for a while.
• The Sleep Test: I slept on the mattress for several nights, paying attention to how cool I felt throughout the night. Normally I note any times I felt warm, but that issue didn’t really come up with the AS5 Hybrid. No waking up feeling sweaty or too warm.
• The Partner Test: A willing volunteer joined me on the mattress to see if body heat from one person affected the other. Neither of us felt overheated from the other’s body heat.
• The Blanket Test: We tried sleeping with different types of blankets to see if the mattress stayed cool even under warm covers. Even under warm blankets, the mattress helped regulate temperature well.

Even though the mattress is soft, it doesn’t sink so much that you feel “stuck” in heat traps. I have comfort foam and its open-cell structure to thank for this. This means air can move through it better than regular memory foam, helping heat escape.

Meanwhile, the pocket coils in the hybrid design leave lots of space for air to move around. This helps heat flow away from your body. The finishing touch is how the mattress cover feels cool to the touch and lets air flow through easily.

If you’re a hot sleeper or just someone who values a cool night’s sleep, the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid is an excellent choice. Its perfect score of 10 out of 10 for cooling means it’s one of the best mattresses out there for temperature control.

Whether you live in a warm climate, tend to sleep hot, or just appreciate a cool, comfortable bed, the AS5 Hybrid’s cooling features have got you covered. It’s a breath of fresh air in the world of memory foam mattresses, which often get a bad rap for sleeping warm.

Measuring the Environmental Impact

We often focus on how comfy any potential mattress purchase is. But these days, it’s also important to think about how our choices affect the planet.

Choosing the AS5 Hybrid can be a step towards more eco-friendly living. It uses some plant-based materials, is made in a clean way, and is shipped efficiently.

At the same time, it doesn’t sacrifice comfort. For many people, this balance of being good for the planet and good for sleep might be just right.

Foam Materials

All the foams in the AS5 Hybrid are certified by CertiPUR-US®. This means they don’t have a lot of chemicals that can cause indoor air pollution. I found I could breathe easily and didn’t notice any odd smells while sleeping on this mattress.

Furthermore, the Bio-Pur® foam is a standout eco-friendly foam. It is partly made from plants, not just oil like regular foam.

When I slept on it, I found it very comfortable. It felt soft but still held me up well. The plant-based materials seem to work just as well as regular foam for a good night’s sleep.

Expected Durability

When we talk about eco-friendly mattresses, we often forget one important thing: how long they last. A mattress that lasts a long time can be better for the environment than one that needs to be replaced quickly.

If a mattress lasts longer, it means fewer mattresses end up in landfills. It also means saving on the resources that go into making and shipping mattresses.

In my testing, the AS5 Hybrid felt sturdy and well-made. The combination of the Bio-Pur® foam and the pocket coils seemed designed to hold up well over time.

However, it’s important to note that very soft mattresses like this one can sometimes wear out faster than firmer ones. Still, soft mattresses are a must-have for some sleepers, so it’s important to choose a well-crafted one that will best stand the test of time.

Manufacturing and Shipping

Amerisleep makes their mattresses without releasing harmful stuff into the air, as part of their commitment to zero air emissions. This is great for the planet and for the people who work making the mattresses.

It might also mean the mattress is healthier for us to sleep on. When I first got my mattress, I noticed it didn’t have a strong smell like some new mattresses do.

Amerisleep ships their mattresses in a clever way. They squeeze three mattresses into the space of one regular mattress. This means delivery trucks use less fuel, which is good for the planet. And once you open it, it should grow to full size and feel just as comfy as a regular mattress.

Balancing Green and Comfy

While all these eco-friendly features are great, the most important thing is still how the mattress feels. After all, if it’s not comfortable, you won’t want to sleep on it, no matter how good it is for the planet.

In my experience, the AS5 Hybrid manages to be both green for a memory foam bed, while being super comfy. It’s soft enough for side sleepers but still supportive for back sleepers.

However, it’s worth noting that the AS5 Hybrid is still partly made of materials that aren’t plant-based. Also, because it’s a hybrid mattress with springs, it might not be as eco-friendly as an all-foam mattress when it comes to recycling at the end of its life.

Potential Drawbacks

When mattress shopping, it’s important to look at both the good and not-so-good parts. The AS5 Hybrid has a lot of fans, but it’s not perfect for everyone.

These are issues that some people have noticed or might be problems for certain sleepers. Remember, what bothers one person might not matter to another. It’s all about finding what works best for you.

It Costs a Lot

I can’t deny the simple fact that the AS5 Hybrid is not cheap. It costs more than many other mattresses. This high price might be too much for some people’s budgets. You should carefully think about how much you want to spend on a mattress.

It Might Be Too Soft for Some People

The AS5 Hybrid is very soft. Though some enjoy plush luxury, the feel isn’t good for everyone.

Namely, if you sleep on your stomach, this soft mattress could make your back bend in a bad way. Or if you weigh more, you might sink in too much, making it hard to move around.

Some people with back pain need a firmer mattress for support. And some people just don’t like the feeling of sinking into their mattress.

It Might Smell at First

While most of the reviews I read didn’t suggest this as an issue, it still bears mentioning that mattresses with memory foam like the AS5 Hybrid can sometimes have an initial odor when first unboxed.

This is known as off-gassing, and while it is typically temporary it can be bothersome to sensitive individuals. Even if short-lived, strong odors can be off-putting and might affect the initial experience with the mattress.

It Might Be Too Warm for Some People

While I found the mattress felt like slipping into a cooldown soak after an intense workout, a few people said the AS5 Hybrid made them feel too warm at night. If you often feel hot when you sleep, this could be a problem for you.

Even though the mattress has features to help keep you cool, it might not work for everyone.

It Might Take Time to Adjust

While an adjustment period is common with new mattresses, a longer or more difficult adjustment could lead to initial discomfort or sleep disruption.

Some users, like Meg from Asheville, NC, noted that it took about a week to break in the mattress and get used to it. This adjustment period might be longer or more noticeable than with other mattresses, particularly if you’re using the AS5 Hybrid to switch to a new sleep style.

It Might Not Last as Long as You Hope

The AS5 Hybrid is very soft. Soft mattresses can wear out faster than firm ones. The soft parts might squish down more quickly, leaving body-shaped dents.

The hybrid design can also work against the user here. See, springs can start to sag over time, particularly when you don’t take the precaution of rotating the mattress. Saggy springs can make the bed feel uneven and less comfy.

This loss of support in the most-used sections may also be more of an issue with the hybrid model than in the all-foam AS5 mattress.

It’s Really Thick

The AS5 Hybrid is 14 inches thick. The extra thickness can mean extra comfort, but it also means extra hassle.

You might need new deep pocket sheets and could struggle with the height of the bed. The thicker mattress might also not look right in some bed frames or rooms.

It’s Heavy

Hybrid mattresses, particularly taller ones, like the AS5 Hybrid are heavier than all-foam mattresses. Getting the mattress into your home might be tricky, especially up stairs. You also need to have a strong bed frame ready to support this mattress.

And even once the initial setup is finished, it’s tough to rotate or otherwise move the mattress by yourself. You might need help when it’s time for the usual mattress chores.

What Other Customers Are Saying

Looking at other reviews helps me in several ways. First, it shows me if my experience was typical or unusual. It also gives me insights into how the mattress performs over time, which I can’t see in my short-term tests.

Reading other reviews helps me understand how the mattress works for different types of sleepers. Lastly, it lets me spot common themes that I might have missed in my own testing.

By comparing my experience with others, I can give a more complete picture of what it’s like to sleep on the AS5 Hybrid. This helps you decide if it’s the right mattress for you.

And overall, the experience of others seems positive. The AS5 boasts an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars, with 96% of reviewers recommending it to others. I must say that this level of satisfaction is rare in the mattress world and it speaks volumes about the AS5’s quality.

I found the AS5 Hybrid very comfortable, and indeed I’m not alone. 441 reviewers also said it was comfy. Victoria from Tampa, FL, said it “transformed my sleep” and helped with back and hip pain. This lines up with what I felt—the mattress did a great job easing pressure points.

Though, this comfort might not be instant. Meg from Asheville, NC, mentioned it took about a week to get used to the mattress. I didn’t need that long to adjust, but I can see how some people might need time to get comfortable with its unique feel.

In my testing, I noticed the AS5 Hybrid was soft but still gave good support. It seems 420 other reviewers felt the same way about the support. I agree with Alex from Culver City, CA, who said it works well for both back and side sleepers.

As a hot sleeper, I paid close attention to how cool the mattress stayed. I found it did a good job, and several reviewers, like Ryan from Ohio, agreed. However, I noticed a few people said it slept hot, which wasn’t my experience.

While I can’t speak yet to how the mattress holds up over years, I did notice a few long-term users reported issues. One 6-year owner mentioned developing pressure points over time. This is something to keep in mind, weighing up luxury comfort versus how long it will last.

Mattress Policies and Prices

When you’re in the market for a new mattress, it’s not just about finding the perfect balance of softness and support. Oh no, dear sleep enthusiasts, there’s a whole world of policies, warranties, and price tags to navigate.

So think of this section as your treasure map to the land of Z’s, as I explain the prominent landmarks that are the sleep trial, the warranty, and sizing and prices.

Sleep Trial

Amerisleep lets you test out their mattresses for 100 nights at no risk. This means you get to sleep on the mattress for over three months to make sure you really like it. If it’s not right for you, you can return it and get your money back.

The 100-night countdown doesn’t start when you buy the mattress. Instead, it begins when the mattress is delivered to your house. If you also bought an adjustable bed, the trial only starts once both items arrive.

It’s important to know that your body might need some time to get used to the new mattress. Amerisleep says it could take up to a month for your body to adjust. So if you feel a bit uncomfortable at first, don’t worry – this is normal and should get better.

If you decide the mattress isn’t for you, you need to let Amerisleep know before the 100 nights are up. But they ask that you give the mattress at least 30 nights before you make up your mind.

Returning the mattress is simple. You don’t have to do any heavy lifting or shipping. Amerisleep will send people to pick up the mattress from your home for free. After they take it away, you’ll get your refund.

You can throw away the box and packaging after you open your mattress. You don’t need to keep these for returns. Amerisleep does hope you’ll recycle what you can, though.

Warranty

Amerisleep gives you a 20-year guarantee on their mattresses. This guarantee works in two parts. For the first 10 years, if your mattress has a problem because of how it was made, Amerisleep will replace it at no cost to you. In the last 10 years, they’ll still help, but you’ll need to chip in some money for a replacement.

What does this guarantee cover? It takes care of issues like foam that breaks apart or zippers that don’t work. If your mattress sinks in the middle by more than 1.5 inches where you sleep, they’ll fix that too. But this doesn’t include the sides or corners getting soft.

The guarantee doesn’t cover everything, though. If your mattress just gets softer over time, that’s normal and not covered. Also, if you accidentally hurt the mattress, that’s not included in the guarantee.

To keep your guarantee working, you need to follow some rules. Use the right kind of bed frame under your mattress. Keep the tag on the mattress that came with it. Try to keep it clean – a mattress cover can help stop stains.

If you think something’s wrong with your mattress, you’ll need to prove you bought it from Amerisleep. They might ask you to send pictures of your bed frame too, to check you’re using the right support.

One last thing to remember: this guarantee only works for the first person who buys the mattress. If you give the mattress to someone else or sell it, the guarantee doesn’t go with it to the new owner.

Sizes and Prices

The AS5 Hybrid isn’t shy about its place in the mattress world—it’s firmly planted in the luxury segment, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tempur-Pedic and Purple’s top-tier offerings. It’s the caviar of mattresses, if you will, and every mattress size is priced accordingly.

Comparing prices with similar mattress models, the AS5 Hybrid isn’t afraid to ask for top dollar. But remember, you’re not just buying a mattress; you’re investing in years of dreamy sleep. It’s the mattress equivalent of a high-end sports car. Sure, it’ll get you from A to B like any other, but the ride is oh-so-smooth.

While some competitors might undercut Amerisleep on price, they often can’t match the AS5 Hybrid’s unique blend of plushness and responsiveness. It’s like having your cake and eating it too—if your cake were made of eco-friendly memory foam and pocketed coils.

In the grand scheme of things, the AS5 Hybrid is playing in the big leagues price-wise. It’s not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. But for those willing to invest in their sleep, it offers a combination of comfort, cooling, and conscience that many competitors struggle to match.

Caring for Your Mattress

Given all that your faithful AS5 Hybrid does for you, doesn’t it deserve a little TLC in return? Of course it does! But before you start picturing yourself slaving away with complicated care routines, let me assure you: caring for your mattress can be as fun as a pillow fight (minus the mess and potential for sibling rivalries).

Besides, a well-cared-for mattress is a happy mattress, and a happy mattress means better sleep for you. And who doesn’t want that? (If you raised your hand, I’m pretty sure your AS5 Hybrid just sighed in disappointment.)

Rotate, Don’t Flip

First things first, forget everything you learned about flipping mattresses. We’re not making pancakes here, after all.

With the AS5 Hybrid, we’re all about the rotation game. Every 3-4 months, give it a 180-degree spin. Think of it as taking your mattress to the mattress gym making sure it does all the muscle groups.  Rotating the mattress is all about even wear that keeps the surface smooth, not lumpy!

I like to make a whole event out of it. Put on your favorite workout playlist, stretch those muscles, and prepare for the great mattress rotation of the season. Who needs a gym membership when you have a mattress to move, right?

Use a Mattress Protector

Invest in a good waterproof mattress protector. It’ll guard against spills, stains, and all manner of mattress villains.

I learned this the hard way after an unfortunate incident involving a very full mug of coffee and a very excited dog. Let’s just say brown isn’t the color you want your mattress to be. Now, my AS5 Hybrid is wrapped up tighter than a burrito, safe from any liquid-based catastrophes.

Keep It Clean

Now, let’s talk cleanliness, because sleeping on crumbs is so last year. Your AS5 Hybrid isn’t just a bed, but it’s a sanctuary. And sanctuaries don’t come with built-in pizza toppings or coffee stains.

Vacuum the surface regularly, and I mean regularly. Not just when you remember or when you’re trying to impress your parents with a clean home. I’m talking every time you change your sheets, or at least every other time.

Use that upholstery attachment and get into all the nooks and crannies. Trust me, you don’t want to know what’s hiding in there. (Okay, it’s probably just dust and maybe that earring you lost last month, but still.)

For spills, act fast to clean the mattress! Blot, don’t rub. We’re not trying to push that stain deeper into the mattress like it’s a time capsule for future archaeologists to discover. Use a mild detergent mixed with cold water for tougher stains, but remember – we’re cleaning a mattress, not tie-dying a shirt.

Trust Your Nose

Occasionally, give your AS5 Hybrid a good sniff. It should smell… well, like nothing, really. If you’re catching whiffs of anything funky like a set of sweaty gym clothes, it might be time for a deeper clean.

A sprinkle of baking soda left for a few hours (or overnight if you’re feeling generous) can go far and deodorize a mattress. Vacuum it up once you’re all done, and voila! Your mattress smells as fresh as a daisy. Or at least, as fresh as a mattress can smell.

Let It Breathe

Every now and then, strip that bed bare and let your AS5 Hybrid air out. Open the windows, turn on a fan, and let it bask in the glory of fresh air. It’s like a spa day for your mattress.

I like to do this on laundry day. While the sheets are doing their spin cycle thing, my mattress is having its own refresh session.

By the time everything’s done, it’s like sleeping on a cloud. A very supportive, comfort-layer-topped cloud.

Conclusion

As we wrap up our journey through the plush landscape of the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid, it’s clear that this mattress is more than just a place to rest your head. It’s a testament to what happens when cutting-edge sleep technology meets cloud-like comfort.

Its ability to balance softness with support, coolness with coziness, and eco-consciousness with indulgence makes it a strong contender in the luxury mattress arena. The generous sleep trial and warranty also provide peace of mind, allowing you to test drive your dream bed without losing sleep over the decision.

However, like a gourmet meal, this mattress isn’t for everyone’s taste or budget. Its ultra-soft feel, while heavenly for side sleepers and those craving a plush sleep surface, might be too yielding for stomach sleepers or those accustomed to firmer support.

And let’s not dance around it—the price tag is as luxurious as the sleep experience it promises. But for those who view sleep as an investment rather than an expense, the AS5 Hybrid offers a compelling package.
