Amerisleep AS2

Top Pro

Great for stomach/back sleepers, and those experiencing back pain when lying down

This mattress contains a foam layer with zones that redistributes pressure well. Key areas like the shoulder and lower back get the proper amount of support it needs. See More

Top Con

Too warm

Despite its open cell structure, its memory foam composition, which is known to retain body heat, may get to be too hot and uncomfortable when sleeping in warm weather or for a long period of time. See More

Top Pro

Promotes blood circulation and eases body pain

Its Celliant cover promotes good blood circulation which eases muscle pain or soreness because it has been scientifically proven to increase oxygenation in the body which can reduce body aches and pains. Celliant is a fabric made with 13 thermoreactive minerals that convert your body's heat into beneficial infrared energy. See More

Top Con

Too firm for side sleepers

Since the mattress has a medium to firm foam quality, it may not be soft enough to decrease the amount of shoulder and hip pressure when you sleep on your side, which can leave you with a feeling of discomfort and even soreness. See More

Top Pro

Very responsive when changing positions

Gives a less stuck feeling when sleeping on the mattress because it bounces back to its original shape in seconds and doesn't retain the previous body shape. See More

Top Pro

Comfortable to sleep on for plus-sized persons

This mattress has a medium-firm feel that's softer than most mattresses made for the plus sized. So it's comfortable to sleep on but still gives the support a heavy body needs. Most mattresses made for people weighing more than 250 pounds are too firm and uncomfortable. See More

Top Pro

Safe to use

They have their own patented way of making memory foam that uses plant materials, mostly derived from soybeans, instead of petroleum. It has no prohibited phthalates, no ozone depleters, no Polybrominated diphenyl ethers or flame retardant compounds, no mercury, lead and heavy metals, and no formaldehyde. See More

Top Pro

Easy to fit through your door

It's delivered to you compressed and contained inside a box. A twin mattress that measures 38" x 74" x 12" is shipped in a 15" x 15" x 42" box weighing 54 pounds. A king sized mattress that is 76" x 80" x 12" comes in only a 19" x 19" x 42" box that weighs 116 pounds. See More

Top Pro

Free to try for 100 nights

Even if you're undecided, this mattress can be tried for a hundred nights and can be returned if not completely satisfied. A full refund will be given and the used mattress donated to a local charity or recycled. See More

Top Pro

Relieves pressure and reduces body pain

Contains a patented foam that adjusts to your body's contours and distributes its weight to reduce pressure on parts of your body that normally presses against the mattress and usually experiences a feeling of discomfort or even pain. See More

Top Con

Firmness can be an issue for lightweights

The firmness could prove to be too much for people weighing less than 130 lbs since this mattress is more firm than soft. They won't be heavy enough to compress the mattress down, which can create pressure points especially when sleeping on your side. See More

Top Pro
