What this review covers
AS6 Construction and Feel Choices
The AS6 is a hybrid with a 3-inch Bio-Pur comfort layer over 6 inches of coils, topped by a CryoCool cover. The buying decision also includes a choice of Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm.
Check the dimensions of the selected mattress and frame together. The finished bed height should be comfortable for sitting, standing, and getting into bed.
CryoCool Cover and Sleeping Temperature
AS6 uses a CryoCool cover. Assess warmth with your own sheets and protector rather than assuming the cover name predicts a particular sleeping temperature.
Keep the room and bedding consistent while comparing mattresses. That makes it easier to tell whether the surface itself feels comfortable through the night.
A cool first touch is only one part of the experience. Note how warm you feel after several hours and whether you wake needing to change the bedding.
The 6-inch coil unit sits below the Bio-Pur foam. Compare the full mattress in your usual sleeping position, including how easily you can move on the surface.

Our Ratings
Check the feel on back-sleeping nights as well as side-sleeping nights.
Pressure Relief (9.6/10)
Comfort depends on the feel you choose. Check shoulder and hip pressure in your usual position, rather than treating one score as a verdict on all three firmness choices.
Cooling (9.7/10)
For temperature, use the same bedding and room settings you would normally sleep with. Evaluate several complete nights instead of judging from a brief lie-down.
Edge Support (9.5/10)
Sit at the edge and lie near it during the trial. The useful question is whether you feel steady and comfortable in the places you actually use. Sit at the edge and judge how easy it is to stand up.
Heavy Sleeper Durability (9.6/10)
Amerisleep does not publish a per-side weight limit. A short load test does not establish long-term capacity, so check suitability for your full bed setup before ordering.

Check Current AS6 Black Series Pricing
The AS6 offer is $1,000 off: Twin $2,399, Queen $2,649, and King $2,849 on sale.
AS6 Black Series vs Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt
The AS6 queen is $2,649 on sale ($3,649 regular), compared with the $3,499 LuxeAdapt queen listed here. Compare the feel as well as the $850 sale-price difference: AS6 is a hybrid, while LuxeAdapt is all-foam.
| Category | AS6 Black Series ($2,649 sale) | Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt ($3,499) |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Hybrid: Bio-Pur over coils | All-foam (TEMPUR material only) |
| Price (queen) | $2,649 sale / $3,649 regular | $3,499 (rarely discounted) |
| Cooling | 9.7/10 (CryoCool cover) | 7.8/10 (SmartClimate cover, no PCM) |
| Pressure relief | 9.6/10 | 9.8/10 (TEMPUR material advantage) |
| Motion isolation | 9.0/10 | 9.5/10 (all-foam advantage) |
| Edge support | 9.5/10 (hybrid perimeter) | 8.2/10 (foam perimeter only) |
| Bounce | 8.2/10 | 5.5/10 (TEMPUR dense, low response) |
| Trial | 365 nights | 90 nights |
| Warranty | 20 years | 10 years |
| White-glove delivery | Not standard | Yes (included) |
The AS6 Black Series wins on cooling by a wide margin: 9.7 vs 7.8. Tempur-Pedic's dense TEMPUR material retains heat significantly more than foam-plus-coil systems, and the SmartClimate cover does not include PCM technology. For hot sleepers, the LuxeAdapt is not a strong choice, a known limitation that appears consistently across Tempur-Pedic's all-foam lineup.
The LuxeAdapt wins on pressure relief (9.8 vs 9.6) and motion isolation (9.5 vs 9.0). TEMPUR material provides denser contouring than any foam-plus-coil combination, and all-foam construction absorbs vibration more completely. Tempur-Pedic loyalists who prioritize the specific “enveloped” sensation of TEMPUR material will not get that from the AS6 Black Series regardless of how well it scores overall, that is a preference, not a performance deficit.
For buyers not committed to Tempur's specific feel: the AS6 Black is $850 cheaper on sale, has a 365-night trial and 20-year warranty (LuxeAdapt: 90-night trial, 10-year warranty), significantly better cooling, and meaningfully better edge support.

FAQ: Amerisleep AS6 Black Series
Is the Amerisleep AS6 Black Series worth $2,649 on sale?
It can be, if one of the three AS6 feels is a better match than AS5 Hybrid. The queen sale-price difference is $500, so compare comfort before paying the premium.
How is the AS6 constructed?
AS6 combines Bio-Pur foam with a coil unit. The build is 3 inches of Bio-Pur over 6 inches of coils.
How is the AS6 Black Series different from the AS5 Hybrid?
The AS6 offers three feels and a CryoCool cover. Its queen is $2,649 on sale, compared with $2,049 for AS5 Hybrid. Compare the exact feel and size you plan to buy.
How does the AS6 Black Series compare to Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt?
The AS6 Black Series wins on cooling (9.7 vs 7.8/10), edge support (9.5 vs 8.2), trial length (100 vs 90 nights), warranty (20 vs 10 years), and price ($850 less on sale). The LuxeAdapt wins on pressure relief (9.8 vs 9.6) and motion isolation (9.5 vs 9.0). Buyers who want Tempur's specific dense enveloping feel should stick with Tempur; buyers who sleep hot or want longer coverage should strongly consider the AS6 Black.
What firmness is the AS6 Black Series?
Choose Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm. If two people will share the bed, both should assess the chosen feel during the trial.
How should I assess finished bed height??
The right finished bed height depends on the frame and sleeper. Measure the full setup and check that sitting down and standing up feel comfortable.
Does the AS6 Black Series sleep cool enough for hot sleepers?
The CryoCool cover is one part of the setup. Use the trial to assess warmth over full nights with your usual sheets, protector, and room temperature.
How heavy a sleeper can the AS6 Black Series support?
Amerisleep does not publish a per-side weight limit. Ask about suitability for your complete bed setup before ordering; a firmness label is not a load rating.
How long does break-in take?
Assess the feel over several nights in your usual positions, keeping a short log of comfort and warmth. Contact Amerisleep during the trial if it does not suit you.
Does the AS6 come with any certifications?
If a specific certification matters to your purchase, read the certificate for the exact mattress configuration. The verified build here is Bio-Pur foam, coils, and a CryoCool cover.
Verdict: Amerisleep AS6 Black Series
AS6 is our pick here for shoppers who want a hybrid with three feel choices. The choice of Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm is the strongest reason to compare it closely.
At $2,649 for a queen on sale, AS6 is $850 below the $3,499 LuxeAdapt queen listed here. Compare hybrid and all-foam feel as well as the price difference.
AS5 all-foam queen is $1,749 on sale and AS5 Hybrid queen is $2,049. Either can make more sense if you prefer its feel; the AS6 premium is worthwhile only when its features matter to you. See our AS5 Hybrid review and AS5 review.
