About Amerisleep

Amerisleep has been in business since 2007. They retail their proprietary line of plant-based memory foam mattresses direct to consumer, primarily selling online mattresses through their website. The brand has seen increasing popularity over the past few years as consumers seek more affordable options, and as the tides shift towards “greener” products.

The company uses a memory foam called Bio-Pur® that incorporates botanical oils to reduce petroleum consumption, which they also tout as having additional benefits like temperature neutrality and greater breathability compared to traditional memory foams. Amerisleep also sells accessories like adjustable beds, pillows, and bedding.

The Amerisleep Mattress Lineup

Amerisleep’s mattress line is composed of five different memory foam mattresses, three hybrid mattresses, one cooling mattress, and one organic mattress. All Amerisleep mattresses include a 100-night trial period and a 20-year warranty and are made in the United States. Below is an outline of the brand’s collection.

Foam Collection

• AS1 (formerly Americana) –  This model has a 10” profile with 2” of 4.0lb density memory foam and an overall firm feel with low contouring.
• AS2 (formerly Revere) – This model has a 12” profile with 2” of 4.0lb density memory foam, 3″ of transition foam and an overall medium-firm feel with high contouring.
• AS3 (formerly Liberty) – This model has a 12” profile with 3” of 4.0lb density memory foam, 2″ of transition foam and an overall plush feel with medium contouring.
• AS4 (formerly Colonial) – This model has a 12” profile with 4” of 4.0lb density memory foam, 1″ of transition foam, and an overall plush feel with high contouring.
• AS5 (formerly Independence) – This model has a 14″ profile with 3″ of 4.0 lb density memory foam, 2″ of 3.0 lb Active Flex foam, 2″ of transition foam and an overall plush feel with moderate contouring.

Materials

• Bio-Pur®: Bio-Pur® is present in every foam and hybrid mattress Amerisleep sells. Made with castor oil and CertiPUR-US® certified, this comfort layer bounces back in seconds while cradling your curves. You won’t feel stuck
• Affinity with HIVE®: Unlike many other transitional layers, the Affinity layer with HIVE® is zoned, meaning it responds to your body in different ways. Hexagon-shaped cutouts on the surface are close together where you need more support, and farther apart where you need more cushioning.
• Active Flex: The Active Flex layer is only found in the AS5, AS5 Hybrid, and Chill mattresses. This layer adds a boost of softness without the common sinking feeling that also accompanies plush beds.
• Bio-Core®: Bio-Core® is the high-density base layer of every Amerisleep foam mattress. It’s 8 inches thick and made of a sturdy poly-foam. This layer is one of the reasons Amerisleep can offer a generous 20-year warranty.
• Pocketed steel coils: The pocketed steel coils in the Amerisleep hybrid models, plus their two new beds, Organica and Chill, are zoned for better back support and to eliminate pressure points before they develop. Each high-quality coil is wrapped in fabric for minimal motion transfer and little, if any, noise.

Hybrid Collection

• AS3 Hybrid – This model has a 12″ profile with 3″ of 4.0blb density memory foam, 8″ of pocketed coils, and 1″ of base foam. It has an overall medium feel with medium contouring.
• AS5 Hybrid – This model has a 14″ profile with 3″ of 4.0lb density memory foam, 2″ of transition foam, 8″ of pocketed coils, and 1″ of base foam. It has an overall plush feel with moderate contouring.

Organic Collection

• Amerisleep Organica – This latex model has a 13″ profile with 1″ of New Zealand Joma Wool®, 3″ of Talalay latex, 8″ of pocketed coils, and 1″ of Dunlop latex. It has an overall medium feel with medium contouring.

Cooling Collection

• Amerisleep Chill – This hybrid model has a 14″ profile with 2″ of copper-infused memory foam, 3″ of transition foam, 8″ of pocketed coils, and 1″ of base foam. It has an overall plush feel with moderate contouring.

The Amerisleep Organica and Chill mattresses are quite distinct from other Amerisleep beds, so we’ll break down their layers in more detail below.

• Amerisleep Organica
  • Cover: Breathable, moisture-wicking New Zealand Joma Wool®, which acts as a chemical-free, natural flame retardant.
  • Comfort layer: 3 inches of Talalay Latex. Natural latex is usually processed one of two ways: Talalay or Dunlop. Talalay has a softer feel and contains polyurethane fillers to give it that cradling “memory foam” quality.
  • Coil layer: 8 inches of pocketed coils for a balance of support and responsiveness
  • Base foam: 1 inch of Dunlop latex. Dunlop contains no polyurethane fillers, and as such, it has a firmer feel, making it great for support layers. Dunlop is all-natural.
  • The Amerisleep Organica mattress is hypoallergenic, GOTS certified, eco-INSTITUT certified, and more.

• Amerisleep Chill
  • Chill+ Cover: the Chill+ technology draws heat away from the body, keeping you up to 14 degrees cooler during the night.
  • Cooling Comfort Foam: The Chill Mattress’s comfort layer is infused with copper, an antimicrobial material that also conducts heat away from the body.
  • Active Flex: The Active Flex is a special transition layer. While it adds some extra softness and support, it doesn’t sink or make the sleeper feel trapped. Thanks to the cooling channels in Active Flex, heat buildup is a thing of the past.
  • Pocketed coil base with edge support: Like all coil mattresses, the Chill is quite breathable thanks to the space between the coils.

Overview of Amerisleep Reviews

Amerisleep reviews indicate what makes these mattresses unique. Typically, memory foam mattresses are made with chemical-based formulas, but Amerisleep offers a healthier and environmentally conscious choice with its plant-based creation. Their hybrid lineup is made with their plant-based foam as well as pocketed coils, minimizing pressure buildup and motion transfer. Recently, they’ve released an organic mattress and a cooling mattress, giving customers even more options.

Here are what the reviews from the Amerisleep’s website show as of January 14, 2023. Amerisleep uses a third-party review system that crosschecks reviewers’ emails with those of actual customers and/or requires reviewers to verify emails to increase accuracy and legitimacy of product feedback.

Pros from Amerisleep Reviews

• High owner satisfaction
• Minimal body heat buildup
• Limited odor
• Durability
• Good price

There are a number of advantages for this brand found in Amerisleep Reviews, and overall the brand has a very high average satisfaction rate compared to other memory foam brands.

The brand also receives fewer complaints than average for heat, odor, and sagging. In the reviews on their website, less than 3% mention sleeping hot (compared to 8% average for all memory foam brands) and less than 5% mention odor or off-gassing (compared to 15% average for all memory foam). There are very few reports of sagging or deep impressions—73% of reviews mention minimal sinking. 

Price is another factor Amerisleep reviewers praise. Queen size prices range from $999 for a 10” foam queen mattress (their cheapest model) to $2299 for a 14” queen hybrid mattress (their most expensive model), and the website runs frequent sales. The average price paid for all memory foam beds is around $1600.

Cons from Amerisleep Reviews

• Shipping time
• Firmness

Although Amerisleep reviews are largely positive, there are a couple of cons noted by a portion of reviewers. Some people complain about longer than expected delivery times in past years (although recent reviews are more likely to praise quick delivery times). Some people also dislike that the mattresses may arrive separately than accessories.

There is also a portion of buyers that express that the mattresses were either firmer or softer than they expected, which is understandable since the company sells online mattresses. While this is an issue for less than 10% of buyers, the majority of reviewers reporting this issue also report that Amerisleep helped resolve their complaint, and the company also offers a 100-day return policy.

Currently, Amerisleep asks that you keep your mattress for at least 30 days before returning it. This accounts for an adjustment period as you get used to your new bed. If you return the mattress before the 30 days is up, you have to pay a $99 early processing fee. During days 31-100 after your purchase, you can return the bed at no extra cost.

Other Amerisleep Products

Amerisleep has been in business for 11 years now, and they’ve developed many other products to help you get the best sleep possible—not just mattresses. Let’s take a look at all they have to offer.

Pillows

Pillows are second to mattresses when it comes to sleep comfort! Like mattresses, pillow choice is usually determined by your sleeping position.

• Amerisleep Comfort Classic Pillow (4.4/5, 86% recommend): The familiar Bio-Pur® is found in Amerisleep’s Comfort Classic Pillow. Its advanced open-cell structure deters heat buildup, and the 6-inch loft combined with the soft feel of the Bio-Pur® makes this pillow a great choice for side and combo sleepers.
• Amerisleep Flex Pillow (new product): With a breathable cover and MicroFlex cushions you can mold to a customized shape, this pillow is ultra-cooling. This high-loft pillow is 6 inches thick, and works well for back and side sleepers.
• Dual Comfort Pillow (new product): Like its name suggests, the Dual Comfort Pillow has two firmnesses, one on either side. Side sleepers will enjoy the firm side, while back sleepers who need extra cushioning can choose the soft side. If you’re a combo sleeper, you can switch which side you use whenever you want! This pillow also has cooling channels to wick away heat all night.

Mattress Foundations

Amerisleep sells two adjustable bases and a basic mattress foundation. Right now, Amerisleep offers adjustable bed packages, so you can save money when you buy a mattress and an adjustable base together. They offer either the standard Adjustable Bed or the Adjustable Bed+.

• Adjustable Bed Highlights: You can program your preferred position via wireless remote, including a zero gravity preset. Among the benefits of the adjustable bed are better circulation, decreased risk of snoring, and pressure relief. Plus, the Adjustable Bed comes with a 10-year warranty.
• Adjustable Bed+ Highlights (4.8/5, 98% recommend): Like the original Adjustable Bed, the Adjustable Bed+ is customizable via remote control. It comes with USB charging ports on the side for convenience, plus an anti-snore preset and full-body wave massage. The Adjustable Bed+ is backed by a 25-year warranty.
• Amerisleep Platform Bed (4.6/5, 96% recommend): With a minimal and simple design, this bed frame will work with almost any bedroom. The oversized slats will keep your mattress steady, and the frame is compatible with all mattress types. This foundation is backed by a 1-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Amerisleep mattress is best?

All of Amerisleep’s mattresses are designed to suit different sleepers, so there’s no one “best” mattress. The AS3 is their bestselling bed because of its medium feel which appeals to side sleepers, combo sleepers, and couples. If you want to try a hybrid, the AS5 Hybrid is a luxurious option that’s both soft and supportive. Some customers might be concerned about overheating, so they can go for the Chill Mattress, while others prefer an eco-friendly bed, whereas the Organica would be a good match.

Everyone has a preferred sleeping position, and knowing what it is will help you choose the right mattress. We recommend side and back sleeping, since they offer the most support for the spine, hips, and back. Stomach sleepers need to take care that their mattress and pillow do not cause overarching of the spine.

• Side sleeping: Side sleeping is the healthiest sleep position for the spine, plus it elevates the head enough to minimize snoring or other breathing problems, such as sleep apnea. We recommend the AS3, AS4, or AS5 for side sleepers. These three mattresses are medium, medium-soft, and soft, respectively. Mattresses in this firmness range offer a good balance of softness and support to help side sleepers avoid pressure buildup and numbness. Side sleepers who like extra bounce may also try the AS3 Hybrid, AS5 Hybrid, or Chill Mattress.
• Back sleeping: Back sleeping is healthy for the spine, but it can exacerbate snoring, sleep apnea, and neck pain for some. If you prefer back sleeping but are at risk for these problems, try a mid or high-loft pillow that keeps your head elevated. We recommend the Amerisleep AS2 for back sleepers because of its medium-firm feel. It has little give, so sleepers won’t feel “stuck.”
• Stomach sleeping: Generally, stomach sleeping is not the healthiest or most comfortable position. It can damage spinal alignment, so we don’t recommend it. However, if you’re in the habit of sleeping on your stomach, you need a firm mattress, like the Amerisleep AS1.

Does an Amerisleep mattress need a box spring?

No, none of Amerisleep’s mattresses require a box spring for comfort and support. If you have a box spring you wish to use, make sure to sleep a piece of plywood between the box spring and mattress. The plywood must be at least 0.75 inches thick and moisture-resistant to prevent mold and mildew growth.

How long do Amerisleep mattresses last?

Amerisleep mattresses are backed by a prorated 20-year warranty. During the first ten years of ownership, Amerisleep will cover any repair or replacement costs covered by the warranty, including sags deeper than .75 inches. Most brands only cover sags 1 inch or deeper, so Amerisleep’s warranty ensures you will sleep comfortably. The high-quality materials used to make each Amerisleep bed make it one of the most durable beds on the market today.

Are Amerisleep mattresses toxic?

All Amerisleep mattresses containing foam are CertiPUR-US® certified (the Amerisleep foam line and the hybrid line). This certification ensures the foam has no phthalates, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or other toxins. The Organica mattress is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Certified), eco-INSTITUT certified, and hypoallergenic.

Do Amerisleep mattresses have edge support?

Yes, the Amerisleep Hybrid models do have added edge support around the perimeter of the mattress in the form of a stiff, durable foam. It makes getting in and out of bed easier, which is especially helpful for those with low-mobility. The foam layers inside the mattress are unaffected by the addition of foam around the edge.

Verdict from Amerisleep Reviews

Overall, Amerisleep reviews paint a positive picture, with above-average satisfaction compared to other memory foam brands. Owners are likely to express that their beds are comfortable, supportive, and cool to sleep on, but may have difficulty choosing a firmness level or experience shipping delays.

Compared to their peers, Amerisleep reviews are generally above average in most regards, while the price is typically lower than other major memory foam brands for similar products. The brand also provides detailed information on mattress layers and layer quality, which can make comparison shopping easier for consumers.

For those considering a memory foam mattress, it can be helpful to contrast the pros and cons of Amerisleep reviews with other options to see which offers the best value and the best match for personal preferences.
