Full Mattress Review

Amerisleep and Tempur-Pedic are two American mattress brands that offer high-quality foam and hybrid mattress models.

Tempur-Pedic is best known for its pioneering use of memory foam in mattresses back in the early 1990s. The company has since expanded with a wide range of mattress models, all of which feature at least one memory foam layer.

Amerisleep was founded in 2010, just at the start of the online mattress boom. The brand sets itself apart with its use of partially plant-based foams, designed to be more environmentally friendly than typical mattress foam.

Currently, Amerisleep offers four foam mattress models: the AS2, AS3, AS5, and AS6. The AS3 and AS5 are also available in hybrid versions. We’ll be comparing the Amerisleep AS3 to Tempur-Pedic’s TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress in both their memory foam and hybrid versions.

Our Testing Team’s Take

In our Seattle Test Lab, we conduct extensive evaluations to gauge how each mattress performs. The testing process uses pressure-mapping tools, temperature control monitors, and motion sensors to detect if disturbances transfer across the bed. Our team also lies down on each mattress to evaluate how it feels, with testers of different body types and sleep position preferences weighing in. Lastly, we back up our findings with reviews and survey responses from verified mattress owners.

Our Verdict

For budget-conscious shoppers, the Amerisleep AS3 is easier on the wallet. The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt is thinner than the AS3, but both mattresses work with standard fitted sheets.

”The Amerisleep AS3 conforms pretty closely. Personally, I prefer more support from my mattress, but this bed should be a good match for anyone who wants to be hugged by their sleep surface.”

In terms of performance, the beds are comparable. They’re constructed with thick foam layers over a foam or coil core, providing good pressure relief for side sleepers and back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. The all-foam foam models are better at reducing disturbances for sleep partners, while the hybrid models are better for hot sleepers and combination sleepers who frequently switch positions. 

Amerisleep offers a longer warranty, but Tempur-Pedic includes White Glove delivery with each order. Both brands offer free shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. and similar sleep trials, but Tempur-Pedic charges a return fee.

“TEMPUR foam was a great fit for me as a side sleeper. It had just the right amount of contouring, and its motion isolation absorbed almost all vibration from the other side of the mattress.”

Construction and Materials

Standard Amerisleep AS3 and Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt mattresses feature a memory foam comfort system over a high-density polyfoam core. The hybrid versions of these mattresses are constructed with pocketed coils instead of foam in their support cores.

Amerisleep AS3 Breakdown

The Amerisleep AS3 contours closely and ranks a 5, or medium, on our 10-point firmness scale. 

The mattress begins with a layer of Bio-Pur, an open-cell memory foam that’s partly made with plant-based oils in an effort to reduce the environmental footprint and minimize off-gassing. This layer is followed by a denser transitional foam layer with zoned cutouts to provide extra support for the lower back. 

The standard AS3 model has a polyfoam core and a cover designed to enhance muscle recovery by converting body heat into infrared energy. This mattress is also offered in a hybrid design, which swaps the polyfoam core for pocketed coils.

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Breakdown

The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt is medium, or 5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. This makes it comparable to the AS3 in terms of feel and performance.

Two layers of proprietary TEMPUR memory foam provide soothing pressure relief. There are two base options for the TEMPUR-Adapt. The standard model has a polyfoam support core, while the hybrid model features individually wrapped coils with perimeter reinforcement.

The cover is made of knit polyester with a soft and stretchy feel. Altogether, the TEMPUR-Adapt measures 11 inches thick.

Mattress Sizing and Weight

The AS3 is 1 inch thicker than the TEMPUR-Adapt. Both companies sell their mattresses in the six standard sizes as well as split king. Tempur-Pedic also offers a split California king.

Performance Ratings

Thanks to their thick foam layers that contour to relieve pressure points, the Amerisleep

AS3 and the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt line are well suited to side sleepers. These mattresses also work for back sleepers under 230 pounds. The AS3 is a little soft for stomach sleepers, but stomach sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds receive adequate support on the TEMPUR-Adapt.

The all-foam AS3 and TEMPUR-Adapt mattresses offer excellent motion isolation, which is great if you share the bed and tend to wake easily when your partner moves. However, our testers found the foam models trapped some heat and felt unstable around their perimeters. The hybrid models offered more reliable edge support, easier movement, and better temperature regulation, with the Amerisleep AS3 hybrid scoring slightly higher in these areas.

Mattress Pricing

If price is important to you, then the AS3 clearly wins over the TEMPUR-Adapt. The AS3’s price is on par with the average memory foam mattress, while the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt is more expensive to reflect its more complex design. 

Amerisleep and Tempur-Pedic have similar sleep trial policies. Tempur-Pedic includes free White Glove delivery, whereas this service through Amerisleep is available for an extra fee. Shoppers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada need to pay significant shipping fees with either company, and in the case of Amerisleep, arrange shipping through a freight forwarder. Amerisleep has a longer warranty.

What Customers Are Saying

Amerisleep AS3 owners report a comfortable night’s sleep on a surface that feels “firm, yet soft.” An overwhelming number of reviewers also praise the cooling technology and overall value for money. Quite a few owners have found the AS3 – and Amerisleep mattresses in general – hold up well over time.

Tempur-Pedic earns high praise for its pressure relief and ability to reduce disturbances from motion transfer when sharing the bed with a partner. As with Amerisleep, many people are repeat customers who are returning to Tempur-Pedic because they’re impressed with their longevity. Compared with Amerisleep, more people mention the mattress sleeping hot and feeling a little restrictive when changing positions.
