My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
Remember when Olive and Bernadette recently flooded our new home? We all had a good laugh (except when the water bill arrived...and the gas bill, because of course they used the hot water...and every time I look at our baseboards, which have warped right off of the walls).
Despite this nonsense, do you know what I told everyone the next day? "At least our floors are clean."
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
All they do is sleep all day, so surely these two sweet pups would never cause any trouble.
(The chair askew is a little hint that they cause sooo much trouble.)
The morning after the flood, I got up early, making sure to give Olive and Bernadette plenty of time to romp outside prior to heading to work. All they did was sit on the patio and stare at me, longing to come inside to nap.
Of course, the moment they were inside?
Romp, romp, romp, romp.
You know the pack of rambunctious dogs in the movie A Christmas Story who tear through the house and ruin the holiday turkey? These girls are our Bumpus Hounds. I was a bit nervous leaving them while at work all day. Would they flood the house again? Their room is tiled on the floor and walls, so there wasn't much else that could go wrong...right?
"At least our floors are clean," I repeated throughout the day. Imagine my surprise/confusion/horror when I opened the door to the dog room:
WTF, girls?
Olive and Bernadette hadn't been able to get the water spraying again, but they'd tried their best. They went inside the wall to access the plumbing that had caused so much excitement the previous day.
Our wall is screaming.
I know exactly how it feels.
$150 in repairs later, I think we've finally dog-proofed our dog-proof room. Here's hoping this is the last of my anti-interior design blog posts.
It's a good thing they're so cute.
