by The best Amerisleep mattress for most sleepers is the AS3 medium: plant-based Bio-Pur foam, HIVE 5-zone support, 100-night trial and a 20-year warranty at a queen price that regularly drops 25-30% below MSRP during sitewide promotions. Back and stomach sleepers who need more support should look at the AS2; dedicated side sleepers with pressure issues at the AS5 or AS5 Hybrid; premium buyers wanting triple-cooling and three firmness options at the AS6 Black Series.
Amerisleep AS3
9.1/10
- HIVE 5-zone transition layer softens under shoulders and hips, firms under the lumbar
- Bio-Pur plant-based open-cell foam relieves pressure and runs cooler than standard memory foam
- CertiPUR-US certified plus GREENGUARD Gold, two independent air-quality certifications
- 20-year warranty, twice the industry standard; full replacement years 1-10
- Softer edge support than a coil hybrid; the AS3 Hybrid adds reinforced perimeter coils
- Sleepers over 230 lb or strict stomach sleepers should look at the AS2 or AS5 Hybrid instead
The AS3 hits the medium-firm sweet spot that works for the widest range of sleepers, combination, side and back, while the HIVE zoning delivers targeted pressure relief that most competing foam beds skip. It is our consistent first recommendation across the Amerisleep lineup.

Amerisleep: An Arizona-Based Brand Built Around Plant-Based Foam
Amerisleep was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company designs and manufactures its mattresses domestically through a US partner facility rather than overseas. That domestic supply chain is one of the brand's central claims and is verifiable through the made-in-USA labeling on every model.
The brand built its reputation on Bio-Pur, a plant-based memory foam formulation that replaces a portion of the petroleum-derived polyols used in conventional memory foam with castor oil derivatives. The Bio-Pur formulation, the open-cell structure and the HIVE zoned cutout pattern in the AS2 through AS5 models are proprietary to Amerisleep. Every mattress in the current lineup carries GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions, a more rigorous standard than the more common CertiPUR-US (Amerisleep holds both).
The current range covers six AS-numbered mattresses (AS1, AS2, AS3, AS3 Hybrid, AS5, AS5 Hybrid), the AS6 Black Series flagship with three firmness configurations, and the Organica natural latex hybrid. The company also sells pillows, sheets, mattress protectors and adjustable bed bases through the same direct-to-consumer channel.
Why Amerisleep Stands Out
The mattress-in-a-box category is saturated. Most DTC foam mattresses share a similar three-layer build and a 100-night trial. Four factors separate Amerisleep from that baseline.
Bio-Pur cooling chemistry. Traditional memory foam traps heat because the dense petroleum-based structure limits airflow. Bio-Pur replaces a meaningful share of those petroleum polyols with castor-derived components and uses a more open cell structure. The practical result is a top layer that conforms like memory foam but releases heat faster. For sleepers who ran hot on older memory-foam beds, the Bio-Pur layer is the most noticeable difference.
HIVE zoned support. The AS2, AS3, AS5 and several other models use a transition layer with hexagonal cutouts arranged in five zones. Cutouts are larger under the shoulders and hips (softer) and smaller under the lumbar (firmer). That is the same engineering logic behind premium zoned hybrids but implemented in foam. The effect is targeted pressure relief at the shoulder and hip without losing lumbar support.
Made in the USA. Domestic manufacturing means shorter supply chains, delivery typically in 5 to 10 business days for foam models, and accountability easier to audit than overseas production. For warranty service and returns, working with a US-based operation reduces friction that has hurt some import-only competitors.
20-year warranty. The industry standard is 10 years. Amerisleep offers 20 on every model, including full replacement in years 1-10 for covered defects, then prorated replacement in years 11-20. Combined with the 100-night trial and domestic build, it is one of the strongest policy sets in the DTC category.

AS1: Firm 8/10
All-foam · 10" profile · For strict back and stomach sleepers
The AS1 is the firmest and thinnest mattress in the Amerisleep lineup at 10 inches. It is built for sleepers who want minimal sink and maximum support: strict back sleepers, strict stomach sleepers, and lighter-weight sleepers who find most mattresses too soft. Construction is a 2-inch Bio-Pur comfort layer over an 8-inch high-density Bio-Core support foam. There is no HIVE zoning on the AS1, which is by design. At this firmness level, zoning would soften the feel beyond the intended profile.
The AS1 is the least expensive Amerisleep mattress, making it a common choice for guest rooms or stomach sleepers who need a firm surface and do not want to pay for features they will not use. Where it falls short is for side sleepers: the firm surface does not allow enough shoulder and hip sink to relieve pressure. Side sleepers should move up to the AS3 or AS5.
AS2: Firm 7/10
All-foam · 12" profile · For back and stomach sleepers, average to heavier bodies
The AS2 occupies the slot between the very firm AS1 and the medium AS3. It lands at a 7/10 firmness, but the extra two inches of foam and a slightly softer Bio-Pur comfort layer give it more contouring than the AS1 without sliding into medium territory. It is the right model for back and stomach sleepers who found the AS1 too rigid but still need a firm foundation.
Construction is a 3-inch Bio-Pur top layer over a 2-inch Affinity transition layer with HIVE zoning, sitting on a 7-inch Bio-Core support base. The HIVE transition distinguishes the AS2 from the AS1: even though the surface is firm, the transition layer creates softer zones under the shoulders and hips that take the edge off pressure without changing the overall feel. The AS2 is also a strong pick for heavier back sleepers over 230 lb who would compress through the AS3 medium and lose lumbar support.
AS3: Medium 5/10 Editor's Pick
All-foam · 12" profile · Most popular Amerisleep model · For combination and side sleepers
The AS3 is Amerisleep's best-selling mattress and the model that earns the strongest editorial recommendation across most sleeper profiles. At a true medium 5/10 firmness, it works for back sleepers who want a balance of support and contouring, side sleepers under roughly 230 lb who need pressure relief without sinking too deep, and combination sleepers who change positions through the night.
Construction is 3 inches of Bio-Pur over 2 inches of HIVE-zoned Affinity transition foam over 7 inches of Bio-Core support. The HIVE zoning is the load-bearing feature: hexagonal cutouts arranged in five horizontal zones soften the foam under the shoulders and hips while keeping the lumbar, head and feet zones firmer. Side sleepers feel meaningful shoulder and hip sink without the lumbar dropping. Back sleepers get lumbar support without the medium feel becoming firm.
Couples with different firmness preferences land on the AS3 frequently because it works for both the back sleeper and the side sleeper in a partnership where neither wants to compromise. It is also the model most commonly chosen by sleepers in the 130 to 230 lb range across all sleep positions. The Bio-Pur top layer addresses the classic memory-foam heat complaint. Most sleepers find the AS3 sleeps neutral to cool compared to a traditional memory-foam bed.
Where the AS3 is not the answer: strict stomach sleepers (too soft, hips will sink), sleepers over 250 lb who need more support (AS5 Hybrid or AS6), and dedicated side sleepers with severe shoulder or hip pain requiring maximum pressure relief (AS5).
AS3 Hybrid: Medium 5/10 with Pocket Coils
Hybrid · 13" profile · AS3 feel with coil bounce and edge support
The AS3 Hybrid keeps the AS3's medium 5/10 surface feel and HIVE-zoned comfort layers but replaces the all-foam support core with a pocketed coil unit. The result is a mattress that contours like the AS3 on top but bounces and breathes like a hybrid underneath. Sleepers who liked the AS3 feel but worry about heat, edge support or lack of bounce should look here first.
Construction is the same 3-inch Bio-Pur and HIVE transition layers as the AS3, sitting on an 8-inch pocketed coil system instead of the all-foam Bio-Core. Pocketed coils move independently, reducing motion transfer compared to a traditional innerspring and preserving the targeted feel of the HIVE zoning above. Reinforced edge coils make it easier to sit on the edge without rolling toward the middle, a meaningful advantage for couples and for sleepers who use the bed as a seat while dressing.
Airflow is the other gain. Coil units breathe better than dense foam support cores, so the AS3 Hybrid sleeps a half-step cooler than the all-foam AS3. The trade-off is price. The AS3 Hybrid sits above the AS3 at MSRP. If you do not specifically need the coil benefits, the all-foam AS3 delivers the same surface feel for less.
AS5: Plush Soft 3/10
All-foam · 14" profile · For dedicated side sleepers needing maximum pressure relief
The AS5 is the softest Amerisleep mattress and the tallest in the all-foam lineup at 14 inches. It is built specifically for dedicated side sleepers who need maximum shoulder and hip pressure relief, sleepers with chronic joint pain who require deep cushioning, and lighter-weight sleepers under 150 lb who do not get enough sink on a medium mattress. The 3/10 firmness rating is genuinely plush, not a softened medium.
The comfort layers include 3 inches of Bio-Pur on top, 2 inches of Active Flex beneath, then a 2-inch Affinity transition layer with HIVE zoning, sitting on a 7-inch Bio-Core base. The Active Flex layer is what makes the AS5 distinct from simply a soft mattress: it adds bounce and responsiveness so the surface does not feel quicksand-like even at plush firmness. The HIVE zoning operates under the comfort layers, providing five-zone support calibrated specifically for the AS5's softer profile.
The AS5 is the wrong mattress for back sleepers who do not also sleep on their side, for stomach sleepers (hips will collapse), and for heavier sleepers over 230 lb who will compress through the comfort layers and lose support. Heavier sleepers who want the soft feel should look at the AS5 Hybrid.
AS5 Hybrid: Plush Soft 3/10 with Reinforced Coils
Hybrid · 14" profile · For couples, 300+ lb sleepers, reinforced edge
The AS5 Hybrid carries the same 3/10 plush feel and the same Bio-Pur and Active Flex comfort layers as the all-foam AS5 but replaces the support core with a heavy-gauge pocketed coil system featuring reinforced edge coils. The result is a soft surface that can actually carry sleepers over 230 lb without collapsing.
For couples where one partner is significantly heavier, the AS5 Hybrid is one of the few plush mattresses that genuinely works. The pocketed coils isolate motion between sides of the bed, the reinforced edge coils prevent the heavier partner from rolling toward the middle, and the soft surface accommodates side sleepers on both sides. The 14-inch profile also gives heavier sleepers more material to compress through before bottoming out on the support core.
Couples often choose between the AS5 Hybrid and the AS6 Black Series at this price point. The AS5 Hybrid is more focused, one firmness and one feel, while the AS6 offers three firmness options and adds the Triple-Cooling Tech package. If you know you want plush soft for both partners and primarily care about durability under heavier weight, the AS5 Hybrid is the cleaner choice.
AS6 Black Series: Premium Flagship Flagship
Hybrid · 15" profile · 3 firmness options · Triple-Cooling Tech
The AS6 Black Series is Amerisleep's flagship and the most technically ambitious mattress in the lineup. It is sold in three firmness configurations, medium, medium-firm and firm, each at 15 inches tall, and uses Amerisleep's Triple-Cooling Tech package with the PrecisionCoil hybrid support system. Pricing starts at $2,399 queen.
Triple-Cooling Tech combines three distinct cooling technologies: CryoCool (a cover yarn that draws heat away on contact), TitanAir (a perforated airflow layer increasing breathability through the comfort layers) and ArcticWave (a phase-change material that absorbs body heat as you warm up and releases it as you cool). The combination is the most aggressive cooling system Amerisleep has built and targets the hottest-sleeping use cases in the lineup.
The PrecisionCoil support system is a zoned pocketed coil unit with firmer coils under the lumbar and softer coils under the shoulder and hip zones, mirroring the HIVE zoning concept but in coil form. For sleepers who want zoned support executed in both the foam and coil layers, this is the most thorough implementation Amerisleep offers.
Three firmness options make the AS6 the right pick for couples who want a single premium build but disagree on firmness: the firm option supports back sleepers while the medium accommodates side sleepers. Buyers on a tighter budget who want most of the same benefits should look at the AS3 Hybrid or AS5 Hybrid instead.
Organica: Natural Latex Hybrid
Latex hybrid · 13" profile · For eco-conscious buyers wanting natural materials over plant-based foam
The Organica is Amerisleep's only non-Bio-Pur mattress and the brand's answer to buyers who want certified organic and natural materials throughout the build. Construction layers Talalay latex over a pocketed coil support unit, wrapped in organic cotton with a New Zealand wool fire barrier. Every component carries independent certification: GOLS-certified organic latex, GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool, and GREENGUARD Gold across the board.
The feel is medium 5/10, comparable to the AS3, but the sleep experience is distinct. Latex is more responsive and bouncy than memory foam. It contours under the body but does not produce the slow-sink conforming feel that defines Bio-Pur. Sleepers choose the Organica because they have ruled out memory foam on sensory grounds, or because organic materials are non-negotiable for them.
The Organica also sleeps cooler than any foam Amerisleep model. Talalay latex has an open-cell structure naturally, and the wool fire barrier wicks moisture rather than trapping it. For hot sleepers who do not want coils underneath their comfort layers, the Organica delivers cooling through materials selection alone.
Amerisleep Accessories: Pillows, Sheets and Adjustable Bases
The accessory lineup is small but well-curated and uses the same materials philosophy as the mattresses: plant-based or natural fibers, GREENGUARD certification where applicable, and a focus on cooling and breathability.
Pillows
Three pillow models cover the main sleep positions. The Comfort Classic is a solid Bio-Pur memory-foam pillow for back sleepers. The Flex is a shredded Bio-Pur fill that adjusts to the user, ideal for combo sleepers. The Dual Comfort flips between a firmer and softer side and is the most versatile option for couples or anyone unsure of their preference. All pillows ship with the same trial and return terms as mattresses.
Sheets and Bedding
The bedding lineup centers on two fiber families: bamboo (cooler, more drape) and Tencel (smoother, more durable). Both are deep-pocketed to fit the taller Amerisleep profiles. Comforters, mattress protectors and pillowcases round out the range. Ordering sheets with the mattress avoids the common problem of standard 14-inch fitted sheets not fitting a 15-inch profile.
Adjustable Bed Base
Amerisleep's adjustable base offers head and foot elevation with wireless remote control, programmable presets, USB charging ports, under-bed lighting and a massage function. It is compatible with every Amerisleep mattress and ships with a 10-year warranty separate from the mattress warranty. Best paired with the AS2, AS3 or AS6 for sleepers who want zero-gravity positioning for back or circulation concerns.
Bio-Pur Foam Explained
Bio-Pur is Amerisleep's proprietary plant-based memory foam. The chemistry replaces a portion of the petroleum-derived polyols used in standard memory foam with castor-oil-derived polyols, a partial substitution, not total. What changes meaningfully is the cell structure: Bio-Pur uses a more open cellular geometry than dense petroleum-based memory foam, which improves vertical airflow through the comfort layer.
The practical result is a foam that contours like memory foam but releases heat faster, since trapped warm air has somewhere to go. The plant-based content also reduces the off-gassing smell historically associated with memory foam. Most Bio-Pur mattresses air out within 24 hours of unboxing compared to several days for petroleum-only foam. Bio-Pur is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions and CertiPUR-US certified for the underlying foam chemistry, meaning two independent certifications back the air-quality claims.
HIVE Zoned Support Explained
HIVE (Harnessing Intelligent Ventilation and Energy) is a transition foam layer that sits between the Bio-Pur comfort layer and the support core. It is cut with hexagonal openings arranged in five horizontal zones: head, shoulders, lumbar, hips and feet.
The hex cutouts are larger and more numerous in the shoulder and hip zones, which makes those zones softer and lets the shoulders and hips sink in. The cutouts are smaller and fewer in the lumbar zone, keeping that zone firmer and supporting the spine in proper alignment. The head and feet zones are calibrated to medium for stability without a rigid feel. The engineering benefit is that the HIVE layer delivers targeted pressure relief normally only possible with zoned coils, but in a foam mattress. For side sleepers, the shoulder zone softens enough that the shoulder can fully sink in even on a medium mattress like the AS3.
Trial, Warranty and Returns
Every Amerisleep mattress ships with the same trial and warranty terms regardless of model. The 100-night trial begins on the date of delivery. Amerisleep recommends a 30-night break-in period before evaluating whether to return. That allows the foam to fully expand and your body to adjust to the new surface. If you decide to return within the 100-night window, Amerisleep arranges a free pickup and issues a full refund. No return-shipping fee, no restocking fee, no requirement to dispose of the mattress yourself.
The warranty is 20 years and covers visible body impressions deeper than 0.75 inches, splits or cracks in the foam not caused by improper use, and manufacturing defects in the cover. Years 1 through 10 are full replacement for covered defects; years 11 through 20 are prorated, with Amerisleep covering a decreasing percentage of the replacement cost. The warranty requires the mattress to be used on an appropriate foundation: solid platform, slatted base with slats no more than 4 inches apart, or an Amerisleep-compatible adjustable base.
Free white-glove delivery is available as an upgrade. Standard shipping is also free and door-to-door. The mattresses ship compressed in a box and expand to full size within a few hours of opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Amerisleep model is right for me?
Start with sleep position. Strict back or stomach sleepers should look at the AS1 for lightest bodies or the AS2 for average to heavier bodies. Combination sleepers and most side sleepers under 230 lb fit the AS3. Dedicated side sleepers needing maximum pressure relief fit the AS5, or the AS5 Hybrid if over 230 lb. For premium features and three firmness options, the AS6 Black Series. For organic materials, the Organica. When uncertain between two adjacent models, the medium AS3 is the default because it accommodates the widest range of sleep positions and body types.
What is the difference between the AS3 and the AS3 Hybrid?
The AS3 and AS3 Hybrid have identical surface feel: same Bio-Pur comfort layer, same HIVE zoned transition layer, same medium 5/10 firmness. The difference is the support core. The AS3 uses an all-foam Bio-Core base while the AS3 Hybrid uses a pocketed coil unit with reinforced edges. The hybrid adds slightly cooler sleep, better edge support and a touch more bounce. Choose the AS3 Hybrid if edge support or sleeping hot are concerns; otherwise the AS3 delivers the same feel for less.
Is Bio-Pur memory foam safe?
Yes. Bio-Pur carries two independent certifications: GREENGUARD Gold for low volatile organic compound emissions (meets standards used in schools and healthcare facilities) and CertiPUR-US for the underlying foam chemistry against heavy metals, formaldehyde and ozone depleters. Initial off-gassing is minimal compared to traditional memory foam and typically dissipates within 24 hours in a well-ventilated room.
How long does an Amerisleep mattress last?
10 to 12 years for most sleepers, aligned with premium foam and hybrid industry expectations. The 20-year warranty covers defects for the full duration but does not guarantee the mattress will feel like new for 20 years. Heavier sleepers over 230 lb tend to compress foam comfort layers faster; the AS5 Hybrid, AS6 and AS2 are the most durable choices for larger bodies. Rotating the mattress head-to-foot every 3 to 6 months extends comfort layer life.
Does Amerisleep offer discounts for military, first responders or healthcare?
Yes. Amerisleep partners with ID.me to verify and extend discounts to active military, veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, students and government employees. The discount is typically 30% off and can stack with current promotional pricing up to a cap that varies by promotion. For current rates see our Amerisleep coupon guide.
Can I try Amerisleep in person before buying?
Yes, in markets where Amerisleep operates showrooms. The Scottsdale, Arizona location is the flagship and carries the full lineup. Houston and several other cities also have showrooms. Pricing and trial terms are identical to online. See our Scottsdale showroom guide for locations and what to expect on a visit.
Final Verdict
The Amerisleep Lineup at a Glance
For most sleepers, the AS3 medium is the default pick. It is the brand's most popular model for a reason: the medium 5/10 surface combined with HIVE zoned support works across back, side and combination sleep positions for bodies between roughly 130 and 230 lb, the largest sleeper population. It is the entry point into Amerisleep's full feature set: Bio-Pur cooling, HIVE zoning, 100-night trial, 20-year warranty and made-in-USA construction.
For premium buyers wanting the most advanced cooling and zoning, the AS6 Black Series is the flagship. Triple-Cooling Tech, PrecisionCoil hybrid support and three firmness options make it the most versatile single model in the lineup. The price tier starts at $2,399 queen, but the build justifies it for buyers who want Amerisleep's complete engineering effort in one mattress.
Strict back and stomach sleepers should look at the AS2; dedicated side sleepers at the AS5 or AS5 Hybrid; eco-conscious buyers at the Organica natural latex hybrid. Across the entire lineup, the underlying brand strengths, Bio-Pur foam, HIVE zoning, 20-year warranty, made-in-USA, are consistent. The choice is fundamentally about firmness and construction type rather than quality differences between models.
