by The Amerisleep AS3 queen weighs 88 lbs, according to Amerisleep's product listings. Current all-foam Amerisleep models (AS2, AS3 and AS5) run 81–104 lbs at queen size and ship compressed in a box. Hybrid models (AS3 Hybrid and AS5 Hybrid) weigh 96–113 lbs at queen, about 8–9 lbs more than the foam-only equivalent. Two people can handle any queen move; king hybrids at 122–143 lbs may need three.
Amerisleep AS3
9.1/10
- 88 lbs at queen, per Amerisleep
- Ships compressed in an 18" × 18" × 44" box via FedEx Ground, no freight or scheduling required
- HIVE 5-zone Bio-Pur foam, CertiPUR-US certified, made in the USA
- 365-night trial; 20-year warranty with full replacement years 1–10, then prorated coverage
- Softer edges than a hybrid, still needs two people at queen
- Sleepers over 230 lb may want the AS3 Hybrid for more support
At 88 lbs the AS3 is manageable, ships to your door in a compact box, and performs at the top of its class for pressure relief and spinal alignment. It is the best starting point in the Amerisleep lineup for most buyers.
Amerisleep mattress weight by model (queen baseline)
Queen is the standard reference size for mattress weight comparisons. The numbers below cover every current Amerisleep model at queen dimensions. All-foam models ship compressed and rolled; hybrid models ship in a larger, heavier box because steel coil springs cannot be compressed to the same density as foam.
| Mattress | Type | Firmness | Trial | Warranty | Queen price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amerisleep AS3 | All-foam (Bio-Pur) | Medium 5/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $1,149 (queen) |
| Amerisleep AS2 | All-foam | Medium-firm | 365 nights | 20 years | $949 queen sale |
| Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid | Hybrid (foam + coils) | Medium 5/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | From $1,349 |
| Amerisleep AS5 | All-foam (Bio-Pur) | Plush 3/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $1,749 queen sale |
| Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid | Hybrid (foam + coils) | Plush 3/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $2,049 queen sale |
AS1 figures are historical, not a current buying option. Confirm the packed weight for the model and size you order; two-person handling is a sensible plan for a queen.
Full Amerisleep weight chart: all sizes, all models
Mattress weight scales with surface area: a king weighs roughly twice as much as a twin in the same model. The chart below uses the weights Amerisleep lists for each current model and size.
| Size | AS2 (all-foam) | AS3 (all-foam) | AS3 Hybrid | AS5 (all-foam) | AS5 Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 49 lbs | 53 lbs | – | – | 71 lbs |
| Twin XL | 49 lbs | 57 lbs | 69 lbs | 68 lbs | 80 lbs |
| Full | 68 lbs | 73 lbs | 84 lbs | 87 lbs | 97 lbs |
| Queen | 81 lbs | 88 lbs | 96 lbs | 104 lbs | 113 lbs |
| King | 103 lbs | 111 lbs | 122 lbs | 132 lbs | 143 lbs |
| Cal King | 102 lbs | 110 lbs | 121 lbs | 131 lbs | 142 lbs |
Cal King (72" × 84") is narrower than standard King (76" × 80"), which makes it about 1 lb lighter across models despite the same mattress height. For full dimensions by size, see Amerisleep Mattress Dimensions 2026.
Why hybrid Amerisleep models weigh significantly more
The weight gap between all-foam and hybrid is structural. All-foam Amerisleep models stack Bio-Pur comfort foam over transition foam over a dense base layer. Foam is compressible and relatively light per cubic inch.
Hybrid models replace that foam base with a pocketed coil support system. That steel is why the AS3 Hybrid queen (96 lbs) weighs about 8 lbs more than the all-foam AS3 queen (88 lbs), despite an identical comfort layer above the coil core.
The coil base also prevents the same level of compression during shipping. All-foam Amerisleep models ship tightly rolled in a compact box. Hybrid models ship in a larger, heavier box because the spring system cannot collapse fully. That is worth accounting for when you are navigating a delivery through a narrow hallway or up a flight of stairs.

Compressed delivery and box dimensions
All Amerisleep mattresses ship via FedEx Ground in a compressed or rolled configuration directly to your door. White-glove in-room placement is available as an optional add-on at checkout, worth considering for any king hybrid configuration above 120 lbs.
| Mattress | Type | Shipping method | Approx. queen box | Carrier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS2, AS3, AS5 | All-foam | Tightly rolled, compressed | 18" × 18" × 44" | FedEx Ground |
| AS3 Hybrid, AS5 Hybrid | Hybrid | Compressed, larger box | Larger (coils limit compression) | FedEx Ground |
All-foam models take 24–72 hours to fully expand at room temperature. The surface is sleepable immediately but reaches its true feel at around 48 hours. Hybrid models expand faster because the coil layer is pre-formed; allow 24 hours for the foam comfort layers to loft fully.
For scheduling and tracking details, see Amerisleep Delivery Time 2026.
Amerisleep vs competitors: weight comparison at queen
Weight is determined by construction type and material density. All-foam beds are the lightest. Innerspring and coil-on-coil hybrids run heaviest. Amerisleep all-foam models sit among the lighter options in the premium segment.
| Mattress | Type | Firmness | Trial | Warranty | Queen price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amerisleep AS3 | All-foam (Bio-Pur) | Medium 5/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $1,149 (queen) |
| Casper Original | All-foam | Medium-firm 6/10 | 100 nights | 10 years | ~$799 |
| Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid | Hybrid | Plush 3/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $2,049 queen sale |
| Sleep Number i8 | Air + foam | Adjustable | 100 nights | 15 years | ~$2,799 |
| Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt | All-foam (Tempur) | 3 options | 90 nights | 10 years | ~$3,499 |
| Saatva Classic | Innerspring (coil-on-coil) | 3 options | 365 nights | Lifetime | $2,229 |
The Amerisleep AS3 at 88 lbs is in the same range as the Casper Original (~80 lbs), lighter than Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt (~110 lbs), and lighter than the Saatva Classic queen at 110 lb (11.5 inches) or 120 lb (14.5 inches). Saatva uses coil-on-coil construction. See Saatva Mattress Weight 2026 for a full breakdown.
Moving an Amerisleep mattress: practical guidelines by size
The practical difficulty of moving a mattress increases sharply above about 80 lbs, especially when navigating doorways, corners, or stairs. Below are realistic handling guidelines for each Amerisleep size.
- Twin / Twin XL (49–80 lbs): The most solo-manageable configurations. One person can handle flat moves for all-foam twin models. Stairs still benefit from a second person due to mattress length, not weight.
- Full (68–97 lbs): One strong person can manage all-foam Full models short distances on flat ground. Hybrid Fulls at 84–97 lbs require two people on stairs.
- Queen (81–113 lbs): Two people are recommended for every queen move. The 12-inch or 14-inch profile, depending on model, and 60-inch width make single-person maneuvering through standard doorways impractical regardless of weight.
- King / Cal King (102–143 lbs): Two to three people required. A king hybrid at 143 lbs is a heavy, awkward load. For upper-floor placements, professional movers or Amerisleep's white-glove add-on are worth the cost.
Practical moving notes: never fold or bend an Amerisleep hybrid, coil systems can be damaged by sharp bending. All-foam models tolerate moderate bending during tight maneuvering. Use a mattress bag to protect the cover fabric when sliding across surfaces. Amerisleep hybrid models include sewn handles to help with grip.
Which Amerisleep model should you buy?
Weight is rarely the deciding factor in mattress selection, but it can influence the practical decision between all-foam and hybrid if you move frequently or live in a multi-story home. Here is how weight interacts with the other reasons to choose each model:
- AS3 (88 lbs queen): The best-seller for a reason. Medium firmness works for back and side sleepers, ships compressed to your door, and tops our pressure relief and alignment ratings for 2026. If you want one Amerisleep model, this is it.
- AS2: The current medium-firm all-foam option. Its queen is $949 on sale ($1,549 regular) and weighs 81 lbs. A firmer all-foam choice for back and stomach sleepers who want less sink than the AS3.
- AS5 Hybrid (113 lbs queen): The heaviest model here. Plush feel with coil support makes it the right call for side sleepers over 230 lbs who need deep pressure relief without bottoming out. Budget for two people at delivery.
If weight management matters, apartment moves, stairs, solo setup, the Amerisleep AS3 at 88 lbs is a practical choice in the lineup, and the AS2 is lighter still at 81 lbs. It ships in a compact 18" × 18" × 44" box, handles any doorway, and does not require professional delivery. On a 365-night trial and 20-year warranty, it is also the lowest-risk starting point in the range.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Amerisleep AS3 queen weigh?
The Amerisleep AS3 queen weighs 88 lbs, according to Amerisleep. It ships compressed in a box approximately 18" × 18" × 44" via FedEx Ground. Two people can move it comfortably; the all-foam construction makes it significantly lighter than coil-based mattresses at the same size.
How much does the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid queen weigh?
Amerisleep lists the AS5 Hybrid queen at 113 lbs and the king at 143 lbs. Hybrid construction includes coils; arrange enough help for the box and route to your bedroom.
Why do hybrid Amerisleep mattresses weigh more?
Hybrid construction replaces the dense foam base layer with a pocketed coil system. Steel coils are significantly heavier per unit than foam. That is why the AS3 Hybrid queen (96 lbs) runs about 8 lbs heavier than the all-foam AS3 queen (88 lbs) despite identical comfort layers.
How does Amerisleep weight compare to Saatva?
The Saatva Classic queen weighs 110 lb at 11.5 inches or 120 lb at 14.5 inches, compared with the AS3 all-foam queen at 88 lb. Saatva uses coil-on-coil construction. The AS5 Hybrid queen weighs 113 lb, between the two Saatva Classic queen weights. Full comparison: Saatva Mattress Weight 2026.
Can one person move an Amerisleep mattress?
Twin and Twin XL AS2 and AS3 models (49–57 lbs) are manageable solo on flat ground. Full all-foam models at 68–73 lbs are about the upper practical limit for single-person flat-surface moves. Any queen or larger configuration, and any hybrid model, requires two people for safe handling.
Which Amerisleep model is the lightest?
Among current models, the AS2 is the lightest: 49 lbs in Twin and 81 lbs in Queen, per Amerisleep. AS1 is not in the current lineup.
Does Amerisleep offer white-glove delivery?
Yes. White-glove delivery is an optional add-on at checkout, with no published price; confirm the service scope. Old-mattress pickup is limited to California’s free program within 30 days. Standard delivery is free curbside FedEx shipping in the contiguous US. For timeline specifics, see Amerisleep Delivery Time 2026.
