Amazing

This is hands down the best bed I've ever owned. I'm a side sleeper and would constantly wake up with my arm asleep or back pain or hip pain. I've had this bed for 3 months and that has not happened once! I look forward to going to bed every day now and sleep all the way through the night.

Great Customer Service

I originally ordered the AS3 but it was too firm so we returned it and later ordered the AS5. The AS5 is perfect. Customer support was excellent. We had a very positive experience with both purchases and the return of the AS3.

Second Purchase

We purchased a full size mattress for our guest bedroom. This is the second Amerisleep mattress we have. We have a queen mattress in our master suite. The beds are very comfortable and a firm without being too firm.

Look no further for a great mattress

While visiting Seattle we had the chance to sleep on the AS5 mattress. Both my wife and myself commented on the good night's sleep we had. On the 2nd night I woke up with no stiffness in my lower back. After sleeping on this mattress for 10 nights we decided to order it to be delivered to our Ocala FL home. This mattress replaced our Temper pedic pillow top mattress that we paid $4,200 12 years ago. The mattress arrived a few days after we returned home. It was s sizable box but I was able to drag it the master bedroom. Now I had a problem as I still had the Temper Pedic to get rid of. The TP was too heavy, too big and too clumsy for 2 - 3 people to handle, so I got a serrated blade knife and cut it into manageable pieces to trash. I then proceeded to unbox the AS5 and got it onto the platform boxes. The AS5 took a few hours to expand and was ready for us when it was time to go to bed. There were no odors or gassing of the AS5 and it was just as comfortable as the one we slept on in Seattle. WHAT A GOOD PURCHASE

I tried AS3 first but then got the AS5. Could not be happier

I like a soft mattress but not so I feel like I sink in at the hips. I also want to lay on my side and not feel the pressure on my rib cage. I don't know how they do it but this AS5 mattress is simply a miracle. I would rate it as the best surface for sleeping since I had a perfectly filled water bed. Those of you who liked water beds will understand what I am saying. This bed cradles you and supports. I love the way it feels when I am on my side or my back. Sometimes I sleep on my stomach but that is rare and I will say, I feel the extra extension in my back. If you do lots of stomach sleeping, this bed is not for you. Amerisleep was very patient with me as I explored three different mattresses. AS3 is a very fine mattress but just a little too firm. AS4 had that "stuck" feeling and really did not relieve pressure points with me. I was worried that the AS5 would be too soft but the bounce of the Active Flex layer is amazing. You will pay much more for this mattress but it is worth it. I hope this continues to be a mattress available from Amerisleep. I have had this mattress for the last 5 months. I have had the best night's sleep of my life, since getting this mattress. I do not like to leave home because I will be away from this bed. I am a 60 year old man who is in relatively good shape, 5' 7", 166 pounds.

Best mattress ever!

We've had this mattress for a year or so now. Love it!

good.

happy with the mattress. works very well with the adjustable mattress frame I got. the A5 is the "softest" and im very content with it. Recommend going into the store and trying them all out to find your best fit.

A soft alternative to a Stearns pillow top. Well made.

The bed is a huge upgrade over a 2 year old soft pillow top Stearns and Foster. We chose the softest one in the Amerisleep line worried that it would be too soft but actually it's not even as soft as we hoped it would be but still better than what we had, kind of wish there was an A6. We're not big people so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm almost six feet a hundred seventy pounds and I don't sink into the mattress nearly as much as I thought I would. Have some pressure points on my hips and at times it's still a little bit sore to sleep on one side but that might have more to do with my age than the mattress itself.

Best matress ever

Mattress is as expected. Takes awhile to soften up and conform to your body but once it's there. There is no bed that can beat it

Good memory foam

Bed is soft. I personally didn't take to the memory foam and will go back to a innerspring.

Very happy

Very happy with this bed, would buy it again

Excellent nights's sleep

We have been sleeping on a queen bed. When we decided to upsize to a king bed we bought a Casper... the softest one they had. I never was able to get comfortable on it. We returned it after about 30 days and bought the amerisleep. I have slept very well since. It is very soft, yet supports my body well. I am very happy with it.

A great mattress for bony side-sleepers!

Because of our narrow staircase to a converted loft, we had to choose a mattress in a box or we could not do a king-sized mattress. While heavy, the Amerisleep mattress was manageable up the stairs and very easy to open. I love that it did not off-gas at all. Zero. We've slept on it for more than a month now and it's starting to soften considerably. Perfect for both of us as we are side sleepers who need a softer mattress for our pressure points. I don't wake up sore anymore.

Best is yet to come

We tried several other brands with no luck or inaccurate descriptions and non could compare to the legacy of Amerisleep.

I love my mattress

Love how it feels. Love how it cradles my body.

Great mattress, just a little too firm for us

This mattress was heat reducing, did not hold you in place, and did not hold its indentations long at all. It was a little too firm for our tastes, but otherwise we would have been more than happy to keep it.

Good mattress

My husband and I bought a high end mattress a few years ago and within 6 months it had valleys where we normally sleep. In the middle was a mountain. It became uncomfortable quickly. I searched for a new mattress for several years. The return policy on this mattress was the big seller for me. It has maintained its comfort since day 1.

I would definitely buy this product again.

We are both back and side sleepers and the mattress works great for us. This mattress made sleeping with a bad hip before and after hip replacement surgery possible. Our old mattress made sleeping especially on the side intolerable.

Best Sleep Ever!

Me and my better half haven't had a better sleep in years; we are very happy with Amerisleep!

Great bed! Tried MANY others. This is the one.

I tried 5 other beds (including Purple2) and sent them all back. I am a side sleeper and have point-pain in hips and shoulders. 95+% of the time I wake up free of pain. Other beds advertised comfort but this bed IS comfortable. Only minor downside was an extended period of off-gassing. This disappeared in less than a week but was noticeable. Overall, very happy with this bed!

Very excellent product

I have slept on a Tempurpedic mattress for the past 15 years, one for 10 years and the other for 5 years. I had problems with shoulder pressure point pain for several years and then hip pressure point pain with the Tempurpedic. Much better with Amerisleep.

No regrets. Best mattress I've ever slept on!

I Bought the AS5 as my primary bed. Was s little afraid of it sleeping hot, but that's not the case at all. In fact I sleep cooler than my old pillow top Serta traditional mattress. Im a side sleeper so I went with the softest option Amerisleep had to offer. I love my bed and literally look forward to crawling into it every night.

New to Memory Foam

I bought this to replace my old mattress which was terribly uncomfortable. I did loads of research because my current mattress was putting a lot of pressure on my hips and causing me to wake up in the middle of the night in pain. I finally decided to go with the AS5 because I wanted a soft mattress with support because I am a side sleeper. This was my first memory foam mattress and I had read mixed reviews so I was nervous about having an adjustment period and not being able to rest during that time. For me there was no adjustment with this mattress I slept great the first night and every night since then. I no longer wake up with pain in my hips and legs and it's amazing. I have had this mattress for 6 months and haven't noticed any sunken areas or any change in the mattress, it is holding up really well. It is a nice soft mattress but it's not really the sink 2 inches in kind of soft I was expecting. Initially I was concerned because I really wanted that super soft feeling but I think now I prefer the way it is because it's easier to get out of and turn over in and I don't get too hot while I'm sleeping. I would advise investing in a good mattress cover and an adjustable base if you can. I hope this helps someone with their decision :)

We finally found a keeper!!!

After trying 3 other beds since Nov 2017, we tried the Amerisleep and finally found our bed. Yes we tried 3 others and returned all 3 before there 100 day guarantees. This bed is as comfortable as the $4,000 competitor and has provided us the very needed good night sleep we didn't have for years on our old traditional mattress or the other 3 we tried. It was a very frustrating year buying beds and finding them not to be what they advertised, but this bed actually is what it has advertised.

I would recommend this mattress again. It is very comfortabl

Great night sleep.

Great for a side sleeper

I have been searching for a bed that will be comfortable for a side sleeper--which is how I primarily sleep. I have been suffereing from hip, shoulder and back pains for several years because of mattresses that are too firm. This mattress allows me to sleep on my side comfortably. Sometimes, my back gets a bit stiff or achey when I lay on my back, but since I don't typically sleep that way, it's ok.

Great customer service

Great customer service. Soft supporrive mattress.

We love our new Amerisleep mattress!!

My husband and I purchased this as a new bed for ourselves. We both suffer from back problems and I found myself waking up many mornings to aches and pains in my hips and shoulders. I researched mattresses extensively - Amerisleep just stood out! I like that Amerisleep looks at how people sleep and makes their mattresses accordingly. Mattresses are not an easy purchase, especially with so many options out there, but Amerisleep made this process a breeze! We purchased the AS5 and we love it! It is soft and comfy, yet supportive. We are sleeping so much better and I'm not waking up with hip and shoulder pain! We've even noticed a decrease in snoring. :) Also, temperature control seems to be a concern with memory foam mattresses but we've had not issues with getting too warm. I highly recommend Amerisleep and wish we would've purchased this bed a long time ago!!

I love this mattress!!!

I love this mattress , I always fall asleep so fast. I have a queen and king size mattress from amerisleep and love them both. The mattress itself is so comfortable that I never want to leave my bed.

Good purchase

I was originally opposed to spending 2000$ on a king size luxury mattress. But every time I climb into bed it feels so soft. And if you think about it you spend a third of your life in bed. Best splurge ever. Highly recommend the AS5. I'm not sure about their other models, but the AS5 KING size is better than any hotel mattress we have used in the past.

Better than before - Eric S.

My helix isn't perfect but it's a whole lot better than what I was sleeping on before. After a couple months I've noticed a little sagging on the side I typically sleep but overall I love my mattress, sound investment.

Mattress Review - Jessica R.

The mattress is fine, it's pretty hard so we had to put another foam mattress on top. Also, I move alot when I sleep and my husband can still feel my movement. I am not sure this mattress was worth the price, but it's ok I guess. I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

this is a real review, we purchased our bed 4/16 - Michele O.

we just spent a week in another "custom" bed and was so happy to be back in our HELIX bed. These new beds are so dang hot, I hate it. BUT not our HELIX. Happy mamma to be back in her cool bed. Thank you.

Great Bed - Robert M.

I was completely unsure if I should try this new bed in a box thing. I took advantage of a sale and had it in a couple of days. I set it up in the morning, hoping any off-gassing would be done by bedtime, to my surprise, there was none. The bed was/is super comfortable, I'm glad I took the chance. My only complaint would be I had to figure out how to dispose of my old mattress. Highly recommend!!!

A great night's sleep - Alisha O.

We are on our second full month of sleeping on this amazing mattress. No issues of being too hot. Very comfortable.

Best sleep ever - Jan B.

Oh my gosh, we LOVE our new Helix mattresses! We bought another brand about 10 years ago, and hated it after only a few months. This time, we did our research more carefully, and also made the decision to go with two XL twins pushed together, instead of a king. That way, I could get my mattress my way, and he could have his softer. We have slept better than we have in years! Plus no sagging in the middle ... easier to move ... no movement when one of us gets up in the night ... I only wish there were some kind of special headboard so we could slide them apart more easily when we change the sheets. I know I'm gushing, but I can't believe what a difference having a good mattress makes. Kind of fun to unpack, too. ;-)

Best night sleep ever. - Emily J.

Comfort galore, buy one and you will be sleeping on a cloud.

Life changing - Benjamin M.

This bed is no joke. We actually had similar styles and got a blended bed. We have never slept better. A bed made for your weight, height, and position...how could it be better?

Great bed for a great price - Michael R.

We purchased a Helix a few months ago and so far we love it it's comfortable and doesn't sleep hot. We also go the pillows that are cool to the touch which helps me fall asleep quicker

Too stiff. Bith m8ne and my wife's shoulders hurt after sleeping on this bed. - Jason S.

We ordered the soft and it was too stiff.

This mattress didn't end up - Mark D.

This mattress didn't end up being the one for us however I thought it was important to say how easy the experience was. I anticipated some push back when I started the return process. The Helix rep was very professional and the return process was easy and seamless. You can buy this mattress worry free. I would recommend anyone looking for a new mattress to give Helix a try.

Falling asleep sooner - Daniel C.

First few days took some adjusting but after that I was fast asleep in minutes

Wonderful Mattress - Tracy P.

This mattress is a dream come true. I can sleep on my back and sides without pain. Although it was a little stiff at first, Helix sent me a topper for it which changed everything. If you like the soft layer of a topper, choose a softer option when building your bed and you won't need the topper :-). If you are not convinced, try it. It's worth the 100 day trial!

Stay Tuned - Kathryn W.

Arrived damaged. lots of back and forth as to either send back or donate. The donation process is complicated and now the time is expired for that. Not the best experience and I now have a damaged product.

Great New Bed - Thomas M.

We have a vacation home by the sea, so lots of summer family visitors, everybody has uniformly loved it, we love the fact that it's square till the edge with none of the usual round off that make you feel like your falling out of bed when your near the edge.

Comfy - Matthew F.

Soft and comfy upper layer with supportive mid-layer. I've slept like a baby every night.

Pretty close - William L.

The Helix mattress arrived as promised. I was able to inbox it myself in a small room, but recommend 2 people. Comfort-wise, the mattress has been too soft. Th reason for this, I believe, is the only flaw in your order system. I was not allowed to adjust the results of my sleep quiz on your site. I almost did not order because of this. This mattress is better than the Nectar I tried, but the your software' results of my quiz are not necessarily accurate.

Good for me but not as good for my wife - Richard V.

Great ordering experience. Shipped wuickly and arrived on time. The survey did a better job of matching to my preferences than my wifes. Great feel and support. Edge support is a little lacking, but otherwise i am happy with the results. Def feels better for back sleeping as it feels fully supported. Not quite as good for side sleeping for me but I have wide shoulders and have had a hard time finding a mattress that can do the trick.

First 60 days - Adam V.

Everything is going good. Sleep really well and it has good suppprt. I would probably go a little firmer next time around. The real test will be a year from now to know if it is building grooves.

Ugh not so much - Amanda W.

Wish it was better. Price point is right. Advertised as firm but closer to soft medium. Nice that it was delivered. Not cool at all- despite how it was advertised. Not a stomach sleeper bed, only good night sleeps I get are on my back. You pay for what you get.

Best Matress Ever - William N.

After sleeping an a multitude of different mattresses throughout my teens with moving houses and eventually starting college. I can safely say that this mattress has made my sleep an absolute pleasure. To really know that this mattress is for me in all aspects really adds to the value it gives me and for a cost that is much less than other very high end mattresses. Couldn't be happier and hopefully I won't need to change in the near future.

They made it right - Beau L.

I ordered my mattress too firm but they got me a 2' topper and I sleep wonderfully.

Best purchase ever! - Dan E.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our purchase! It's hard to get out of bed in the morning because we are so comfortable!!

We are so enjoying our - Lori E.

We are so enjoying our new mattress and foundation! No more aches in our hips and backs. Restful sleep has returned, thanks!

Hope it breaks in - Leah S.

The mattress is too firm for me, not enough sink. It was supposed to be medium soft with lots of sink.

Just okay.... - Robert J.

I was really excited to get the new Helix pillow with extra cooling. I sleep hot and I thought it would be awesome!!! Love the mattress so I had high hopes. The pillow itself is comfy, and it's neat to be able to add or remove filling so easily, but the extra cooling is non-existent. I even tried different pillowcases - a low thread count is what they recommended, also tried a bamboo one that was supposed to have extra air flow. Also tried no cover at all (but since you can't wash the pillow, I didn't really want to do that) but it didn't help. I'm still debating sending it back.

Beats Casper hands down - Dustin I.

I tried the Casper for 90 days and I just couldn't get used to it. Way too firm for me. Replaced it with a Helix and I couldn't be happier! It is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. I can now sleep on my side as comfortably as on my back. The only downside is that it is much harder to get out of bed in the morning.... seriously.

Best bed ever! - Kaitlyn B.

Once I got this bed I finally woke up with no pain what so ever. It definitely takes some getting use to but I highly recommend.

My helix mattress - Ronald M.

Since we purchased our helix mattress I've had the most restful sleep that I've had in years. We had purchased several other mattresses and with in a short time were very disappointed! Not with our helix! My wife no longer has back pain every morning and neither do I . We awake feeling rested and ready to start our day!

wonderful sleep! - Janet L.

We have had our Helix blended mattress for 7 days. How refreshing to wake up without any back pain or aching muscles. The turnaround time from order to deliver was so fast! I'm so glad we ordered it.

Siz3 - Ian M.

I love the bed. Best sleep I have have in so many years. But when I ordered I originally looked at a king and wanted to order a cali king. But some how when I placed the order it was the original one that got pushed through so I got a king. Other than that mix up I am very happy with it.

Back pain gone - Wayne S.

Had pain with last bed switched to this one my back feels great now I have had it for 8 months and it's great

Great mattress.... once you add a feather mattress topper - Michelle W.

We needed to replace our 12-year-old mattress and decided to try the online experience. After some research, concluded that Helix was the right company. Totally liked the sleep survey to customize the mattress. Was really fun to unbox and watch it "come to life". The first night was awful. Then it got a little better but felt like sleeping on a board. So I decided that instead of throwing in the towel (because support is good for you), we'd explore other options. Went on Amazon and bought a down alternative feather bed topper for like $100. Made all the difference in the world. Now we have a good solid mattress AND a great pillow top.

Perfectly delightful mattress - Sandra S.

Arrived quickly. Set up was a 5 minute process with most of that time getting the mattress out of the box. Fully relaxed into it's full loft by the end of the day. About two days with no sheets before I noticed the scent had disappeared. Was replacement for guest room but I've napped on it a few times and thought its was perfectly comfortable.

I can now sleep through the night!! - Catherine M.

Before we got this mattress, I was waking up 10-15 times most nights, and we had a memory foam mattress (although it was used and we didn't know the age). I also had a lot of trouble with severe temperature changes at night, which would keep me up. With the helix mattress, except for a bathroom trip, I often will sleep through the night!!! I cannot believe it. Truly.

Dr - Tracey G.

Pretty good. Hot at first but seems to have improved

Not what we hoped for - Norman K.

We gave the bed nearly 100 days before deciding it was not the mattress for us. How dors one really know what configuration is right for them! The one thong we got right was the sleep cool feature. The bed seemed way to firm and yet seemed to cause hammocking. We tried several layering options on top of the bed with some success. Thank you Helix for always answering my questions, your customer support was much appreciated.

Bliss - Barbara J.

How to describe? Not like sleeping on a cloud, because clouds look lumpy. How can a mattress feel both firm and cushy? Don't know--but it is. My dog likes it, too.

Recently unwrapped - Lauren W.

I just got it out of the wrapping last week so I'm sure my body just needs some time to adjust or whatever. I've heard nothing but positive reviews.
