Pros & Cons

Pros

1. Maintains spinal alignment for back and stomach sleepers.
2. Performs well on motion transfer and edge support tests, ideal for couples.
3. Offers memory foam feel without feeling stuck, allowing easy movement.

Cons

1. Not suitable for side sleepers or those who prefer sinking deeply into memory foam.
2. May not provide enough pressure relief for hips and shoulders.

Firmness

AS2 from Amerisleep is a medium-firm mattress. It falls evenly between firm and medium. AS2 mattress gets a score of 5-6 on a scale of 10. It provides a bit more compliance than its brother AS1.

AS2 caters to back and stomach sleepers. Few side sleepers feel comfortable using AS2 as they switch sides frequently.

AS2 Hybrid: In principle, the same mattress, the AS2 hybrid has an extra feature – a coil system. The difference is minor. The bounciness is more compared to the full-foam AS2. It is a good option for heavier individuals that need more support.

Material & Construction

The AS2 from Amerisleep is a three-layer mattress with 12-inch in height.

• Cover: The top layer is ultra-breathable material to prevent heat build-up. It makes the mattress ideal for people who sleep hot. It is a zippered cover, removable and washable. Washing makes it hygienic, and it’s easy to remove the stains from spills. You can choose any mattress protector for the new mattress for extra safety. Celliant, a cooling and blood flow-promoting substance, is used in this product.
• Layer 1: This 2-inch layer offers an attractive cooling effect due to Bio-Pur’s open-cell structure. It contours to the body and is instrumental in relieving pressure points. It bounces back so fast that you won’t feel stuck at night.
• Layer 2: HIVE technology helps to enable the 3-inch HIVE transition layer. It has hundreds of foam hexagons with five distinct comfort zones. The comfort zones provide extra cushioning to the head, shoulders & back, hips, upper leg &knee, and lower leg.
• Layer 3: The Bio-core 7-inch layer makes the mattress durable and provides overall support. It has a density of 1.8lbexcessive sinkage and sagging due to pressure.

The Hybrid variety has a different structure after Layer 1—

The height is 12-inch.

• Layer 2: This Affinity Foam transition layer, which is firm and supportive, adds durability to the mattress and gives general support to the coils. It inhibits excessive sinkage and drooping and the formation of soft patches due to pressure over time. The mattress is popular with back and stomach sleepers due to its layer.
• Layer 3: This 8-inch pocketed coil layer provides responsive bounce. This layer provides comfort, pressure reduction, and motion isolation for the sleeper. It features a sturdy coil edge support that makes it simpler to get in and out of bed. For further help, a small layer of transition foam runs down the sidewalls. It also improves the bed’s durability and resilience.
• Layer 4: This 1-inch layer adds durability to the mattress and offers general support for the coils. It avoids excessive drooping and sinkage as a result of pressure.

Rating

Repositioning

The all-foam model AS2 is average in repositioning and responsiveness.

In the Hybrid variant, pocket-coil springs give responsive support with additional bounce.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

The all-foam mattress is specially grouped into five targeted comfort zones to provide extra support to the pressure points at your head, shoulders, back, hip and legs. It helps in the alignment of the spine. The ultra-breathable layer on the top and the Bio-Pur layer helps to sleep cool all night. The Bio-Pur layer responsiveness relieves pressure sores and prevents heat build-up.

Pocket-coil springs give responsive support with an additional bounce in the Hybrid version. The spring layer comprises long-lasting pocket coils that won’t droop or develop soft areas over time. Amerisleep’s pocketed coil technology, on the other hand, provides bouncing support from head to toe, keeping the body straight and raised. These coils gently compress to alleviate pressure spots that cause discomfort. The pocketed coil design includes double-density coils on your mattress’s left and right edges to provide edge support.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Temperature control on the AS2 is slightly better for a memory foam bed. It is due to a blend of factors like

• The Medium Firmness and mild contouring leave space for cold air to circulate the body.
• The open-cell of proprietary Bio-Pur memory foam cuts down, to a great extent, the heat retention in the top layer.
• On the top, the cover is very breathable, helping in cooling.
• In the Hybrid variant, individual coils allow for more ventilation beneath the higher foam layers to keep you cool.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

The mattress is particularly good at keeping motion transfer at the minimum. The Bio-Pur layer gives a bouncy effect and is very responsive. This layer absorbs the motion, and the mattress regains its original shape in a few seconds of disturbances. The foam layers inhibit any noise produced by moving around.

Individual coils limit motion transfer and provide a more localized cushion in the Hybrid version.

Edge Support

The AS2 mattress offers proper edge support around its perimeter. The HIVE layer’s extra backing at the head and foot provides more excellent edge support around those regions. The 7-inch base layer gives ample all-over support along the edges. It does not let to feel sinkage when sitting or sleeping along the perimeter.

The Hybrid Model also has firm coil edge support.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

No matter what position we sleep in, we all need to sleep well so our bodies can heal and rejuvenate. There are three sleep postures: Side, back, and stomach sleepers. Therefore, all three have different needs and specific experiences regarding the comfort, support, and flexibility that the mattress should offer them.

• Side sleepers: This mattress might not be the right choice for side sleepers. Side sleepers might experience pressure sores at their hips and shoulders. It can hamper their spinal alignment.
• Back Sleepers: The AS2 mattress is best suited for back sleepers. It provides ample support to the back and hips. The hips also get proper cushioning and keep the spine properly aligned.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers can get optimum support and cushion at their hips. However, stomach sleepers might as well like a firmer mattress than AS2.
• Combination Sleepers: Sleepers changing positions frequently also can comfortably use the AS2. Combination sleepers preferring side sleeping positions can choose from AS3 or AS3 hybrid.
• Heavy Sleepers: an AS2 Hybrid is a good option.
