by Amerisleep gives you 365 nights to decide from the night of delivery. Returns are free, no restocking fee, no pickup cost, no original packaging required. The one real restriction: you must sleep on the mattress at least 30 nights before initiating a return. Amerisleep does not publish a firmness-exchange program, so ask customer service about options before starting a return.
Amerisleep AS3
9.1/10
- 365-night free trial with zero return fees, full refund to original payment
- Free pickup arranged by Amerisleep
- 20-year split warranty: full replacement years 1–10, 50% off replacement years 11–20
- 30-night minimum before a return can be initiated
- Trial covers the mattress only, bases and accessories have separate policies
The AS3 is the mattress most people are asking about when they look up Amerisleep's return policy. The 365-night free trial is genuinely clean: one call, one scheduled pickup, full refund. No fees at any stage.
How Amerisleep's 365-night trial works
The trial starts the night your mattress arrives. You have until night 100 from delivery to decide. Reach night 100 satisfied and nothing happens, the trial just closes. Decide before night 100 that it is not working and you can initiate a return any time after night 30.
The 30-night floor is deliberate. A different mattress firmness or feel can take some getting used to. Returning on night three because the feel is unfamiliar is a different situation from returning on night 45 because the mattress genuinely does not work for your body. Amerisleep's policy is structured around that distinction.
Two things make Amerisleep's policy stand out beyond the basic 365-night length:
- Exchanges: Amerisleep's trial page describes refunds, not a firmness-exchange program, so if the feel is the only problem, ask customer service what options exist before starting a return.
- No original packaging needed: You do not need to re-box or re-roll the mattress. It goes to the curb as-is. The pickup crew handles everything from there.
For a full look at the mattress lineup the trial covers, the Amerisleep mattress reviews page covers every current model. The AS3 review and AS5 review go into the two most-purchased models in detail.
How to return an Amerisleep mattress, step by step
Amerisleep handles returns through a scheduled curbside pickup. There is no carrier drop-off, no return labels to print, and no box to source. The full process:
- Sleep on it for at least 30 nights. You cannot initiate a return before night 30. If you contact customer service before that mark, they will ask you to continue using it through the window. Know your delivery date so you can count nights accurately.
- Contact Amerisleep customer service. Phone or contact form at amerisleep.com. Have your order number ready. Tell them you want to initiate a trial return. They will confirm eligibility (order within 365 nights) and start the process.
- Provide order details and reason. Amerisleep may ask for a return reason. This is for product feedback and does not affect return approval. Common reasons include firmness mismatch, comfort preference, or changed circumstances.
- Schedule free curbside pickup. Amerisleep coordinates with a regional logistics partner to set a pickup date at your address. Typical scheduling window is 7–14 days from initiation. You receive a confirmation with the scheduled date.
- Place the mattress curbside on pickup day. Move the mattress to the curb or designated pickup spot before the window opens. Wrap it in a moving blanket or mattress bag if you have one, not required but courteous. You do not need to be present for the handoff.
- Receive your full refund. After pickup is confirmed, Amerisleep processes the refund to your original payment method within 7–10 business days. Credit or debit card refunds may take an additional 3–5 business days to appear on your statement depending on your bank.

Amerisleep vs competitor return policies
A 365-night free trial is competitive but not exceptional in the category. The table below shows how Amerisleep's terms stack up against the brands most commonly compared to it:
| Mattress | Type | Firmness | Trial | Warranty | Queen price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amerisleep AS3 | All-foam (Bio-Pur) | Medium 5/10 | 365 nights | 20 years | $1,149 (queen) |
| Saatva Classic | Innerspring hybrid | Plush–Firm options | 365 nights | Lifetime | $2,229 |
| Nectar Classic | All-foam | Medium-firm 6/10 | 365 nights | Lifetime | ~$699 |
| Helix Midnight | Hybrid | Medium 6/10 | 365 nights | Lifetime | ~$1,099 |
| Casper Original | All-foam | Medium-firm 6/10 | 100 nights | 10 years | ~$799 |
| Tempur-Pedic | Foam / hybrid | Multiple options | 90 nights | 10 years | $2,199+ |
| Purple | Grid hybrid | Medium-firm | 100 nights | 10 years | ~$1,299 |
Two specifics worth noting. Saatva offers 365 nights, the longest trial in the category, but charges a $99 return processing fee if you actually use it. If you are comparing Amerisleep's 365-night free return against Saatva's 365-night $99 return, the practical difference depends entirely on whether you expect to return. For a direct product and policy comparison, the Amerisleep vs Saatva page covers both in detail.
Amerisleep asks you to try the mattress for at least 30 nights before initiating a return, a common requirement in the category. That 30-night requirement is worth factoring in if you are the kind of sleeper who knows on night one whether a mattress works. For most people, 30 nights is a reasonable adaptation window, not a practical barrier.
Before ordering, check the Amerisleep coupon page for current discounts, promotional pricing stacks with the standard 365-night trial without affecting return terms.
Amerisleep's 20-year warranty, separate from the trial
The 365-night trial and the 20-year warranty are separate protections. The trial covers whether the mattress is right for you during an evaluation window. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature wear after you keep the mattress.
The warranty splits at year 10. Years 1–10: repair or replacement if a covered defect is found; labor and transport are not covered. Years 11–20: replacement at 50% of the original purchase price, plus shipping, cover and labor costs. Covered defects include manufacturing flaws and sagging greater than 1.5 inches. The warranty applies to mattresses purchased directly from amerisleep.com. For full coverage terms, the Amerisleep warranty guide covers every condition and claim step in detail.
