Who Is the AS4 Mattress Best for?

Amerisleep AS4 Review Highlights

What makes it special:

• The top layer of the AS4 is made with proprietary plant-based memory foam, which sleeps much cooler than traditional memory foam. It undergoes a process called reticulation, which is a fancy scientific way to say the cell walls of the foam are blown out while the foam shape remains intact: it makes the top layer much more breathable.
• In addition, the cover is soft and breathable, which is known to keep you cool.
• Amerisleep recommends this mattress most highly for side sleepers and combination sleepers, with a medium-soft supportive feel.

Best/Worst Qualities

✅ Pros

• Cooling: The high-performance Bio-Pur® foam is made with an open-cell structure and you truly have a great bed. This foam allows your body heat to leave the mattress rather than getting trapped to help wick away heat and keep you cool in your sleep.
• Responsiveness: It’s built with three layers of memory foam, including Amerisleep’s proprietary, cooling Bio-Pur® and HIVE® comfort layers. These layers are intended to create a soft and responsive feel so you can sink in the mattress enough to be comfortable, but not so much that you can’t move around.
• Pressure Relief: The design of the AS4 also makes it great at relieving pressure, another important factor for side sleepers. Instead of letting you sink in too far and build up pressure in your hips and shoulders, the Amerisleep AS4 evenly distributes your body weight to avoid pain in the pressure points.
• Made in the USA: Beds made in this country and delivered to your door, like the AS4 tend to be more affordable and high-quality.

❌ Cons

• Off-Gassing: The Amerisleep mattress will have a slight “new mattress smell” when you first unpackage it. This smell usually dissipates within a few days and is not harmful.
• Social Impact: Amerisleep is a bit lacking in the social impact department. If this is important in your shopping experience, we’d recommend a more charitable brand, such as Leesa.

The Firmness Level

The AS4 mattress has a medium-soft firmness level. This is about a 4/10 on the firmness scale, ideal for most side sleepers to sink their hips and shoulders comfortably, but keep their spines aligned.

Is It Good for Your Sleeping Position?

The medium firmness level works best for side sleepers as it is the best option for their spinal alignment. Combination sleepers should enjoy the AS4’s responsiveness. Some back sleepers will sleep well above the soft, contouring layers, but we tend to recommend at least medium firmness. But, us stomach sleepers are in for trouble. 

While sleeping on your stomach, it is necessary to have a firmer bed that will keep the lower back aligned with the rest of your body. Stomach sleeper should look for a mattress with a firmness level that is a 6/10 or above.

Is the AS4 Cooling?

There are a couple features that make AS4 cooler than your average memory foam mattress. Unlike a traditional all-foam mattress, AS4 is made with a plant-based foam that has preferrations that allows airflow to circulate rather than get stuck, promoting breathability.

That being said, the AS4 will not sleep as cool as an innerspring bed or a mattress made with latex foam.

AS4 Weight Limit

The AS4 has a weight limit of 800 pounds per side on a queen-size mattress; that’s up to 400 lbs. Per side. This is enough to support most body types and shapes. We recommend that heavier sleepers chose a hybrid mattress, however, for better support.

Bed Frame Compatibility

Amerisleep recommends a flat surface for the AS4. You can use a flat or slatted frame, box spring with plywood, adjustable base or even set it on the floor.

AS4 Materials

The foam layers inside the Amerisleep AS4 are CertiPUR-US certified described as they appear from top to bottom:

Customer Reviews

See what actual customers have to say about the Amerisleep AS4 mattress.

• “I love the firmness, yet it gives to mold to my body and it is not hot like others have complained about with other memory foam mattresses.” – Katy
• “Hubby and I have used this mattress for over a year now and still wouldn’t exchange it for another. We have slept better and have less aches and pains since it arrived. It has kept me cooler than our last bed.” – Sleep Addict
• “I used to wake up every morning with back pain so I was looking for a mattress that would eliminate my pain, but it had to be firm enough for my husband and not too firm for me. This is my first memory foam mattress and it’s perfect! You don’t feel like you’re sinking into the mattress but it also doesn’t feel too hard. I’m also much cooler at night. Great mattress…I’d recommend for anyone!” – Tara

Should You Buy?

Time to decide if the AS4 is for you or if you should keep on searching. We think you’ll like this mattress if you sleep on your side, enjoy sinking into your mattress, or find yourself sleeping in multiple positions.

AS4 may not be the bed for you if you sleep on your stomach or if you’re looking for a value bed. If this sounds like you, we recommend the Bear mattress. It’s medium firmness and price under $1,000 makes it a good choice for your needs.

Is AS4 Like Other Mattresses?

There are 5 memory foam Amerisleep models and the AS4 is plush, but not the most plush. Let’s see how each Amerisleep bed compares:

• Amerisleep AS1: The AS1 mattress is the firmest model Amerisleep offers
• Amerisleep AS2: Another firm mattress, the AS2 is good for back pain thanks to it’s good spinal alignment.
• Amerisleep AS3: This medium-firm bed works for all types of sleepers, so it’s no secret why AS3 is the most popular model.
• Amerisleep AS5: The softest model, the AS5 should be great for side sleepers looking for that little extra cushioning.
