The AS3 mattress from Amerisleep is an extra thick 12-inch memory foam mattress, which packs a ton of excellent features but comes at a high price tag because of the extra thickness. For heavyset people, the extra thickness can make a significant difference in the lifetime and comfort of the mattress, especially since the thick seven-inch base foam layer is specifically designed to prevent sagging over time.
The firmness of the mattress is described as medium, although users found that the mattress was very firm and most required at least a mattress topper to sleep comfortably. The top two layers of foam are both designed to be responsive to your body, and together provide the feeling of floating on top of the mattress so that there are few pressure points. The mattress cover is infused with Celliant technology, which improves blood flow and is intended to help you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed.
Amerisleep offers a 100-night sleep trial for this mattress, and users found that they have excellent customer support throughout this trial period. Over the long term, they provide a 20-year warranty on the mattress, although thanks to the thick and durable construction problems are unlikely to arise.
Try our #1 product. It has different firmness levels on each side, so I hope this mattress will suit best. By the way, for fibromyalgia sufferers, it’s good to have a plush feel of the mattress, but with a proper support as well. So try both sides starting with the softer one.
All the products here are memory foam or latex based. How about innerspring or hybrid ones? Which mattress material is the best for arthritis and fibromyalgia?
Hi, Angela, thanks for asking. Memory foam and latex are ideal mattress materials in this case. They are soft enough not to cause any extra pain or pressure. Springs might be too hard to sleep on if your muscles are sensitive. So I would strongly suggest considering these materials when looking for the best mattress for people with fibromyalgia or arthritis.
Your budget pick doesn’t look budget-friendly at all) Are there any more mattresses for fibromyalgia but at a lower price?
Michael, you can also check other relevant articles on our website. For example, here you can find truly budget-friendly mattresses for fibromyalgia https://wisepick.org/best-mattress-under-1000/. Search for memory foam and latex mattresses.
If you operate on a low budget, you’d probably want to buy a topper, not a mattress. In that case check this article out https://wisepick.org/best-mattress-topper-for-back-pain/
My Emma memory foam mattress has certainly helped my fibromyalgia pain but I find it too hot and get very sweaty at night which wakes me up. At the same time I like that my legs are warm and I don’t wake up from cold and pain in my legs anymore. What can I do about this contradiction? At the end of the day my sleep is still disturbed.
Hi Colleen,
The Emma mattress can sleep a bit hot, so there may be that trade off if you want to keep your legs warm…
If you’d prefer a cooler mattress, we recommend the Lull. If you find that your legs get cold, maybe you can add an extra blanket on top, or another solution could be to wear some legwarmers to bed.
The Lull does sleep pretty cool though, so you might also want to consider our Editor’s pick, the Layla Sleep mattress – it doesn’t get as hot as the Emma, but it’s warmer than the Lull.
Hope that helps! Get in touch if you have any questions or need some more advice 🙂
