The best Amerisleep mattress review you will ever read. It has been more than 6 and a half years since we purchased our first mail-order mattress, an Amerisleep AS3. Yes, with our own money! Really!  (I think this is worth noting as it often seems like every "unbiased" Amerisleep review on a blog has a disclaimer that the reviewer received one for free. So, you received this and 50 other mattresses - did you even sleep on it for one night? There are also lots of sneaky sites out there, like Sleepopolis and Mattress Clarity, that claim to be unbiased but are actually owned by the same company, which seems to basically be Casper. Google "does sleepopolis own casper" and you'll see what I mean. Crazy, right?)  Long story short, I thought it would be appropriate to provide an update to my Amerisleep mattress reviews after so much time. I've also created a handy comparison chart. I'd intended to make a buying guide like this back when we bought our AS3

Be sure to bookmark this page. As a lifelong insomniac, I am constantly on the lookout for things that can help me sleep. I will continue to add to this list whenever I find something new and highly rated and I will update this post with my own product experiences. My Amerisleep mattresses (AS3 initially, then a new AS2 when we moved, then back to our original AS3) have already made a major difference in the quality of my sleep, so I know investing in sleep can help. Here are the top-rated products to help you sleep better, all sold by the world's largest retailer. No, wine is not on the list - contrary to popular belief, a glass of alcohol (or several glasses) is not beneficial for improving the quality of your sleep. Darn! Best Eye Mask for Better Sleep Alaska Bear Sleep Mask You don't think of an eye mask as something that could have a cult-like following. And how on earth does a sleep mask amass nearly 10,000 reviews? My guess is that the price has som

How I Lost 8 Pounds Without Dieting or Exercising Today, I have the easiest weight loss tip ever to share with you. I've never been overweight, but now that I'm in my late 30s, the scale has been creeping up year after year and it has seemed impossible to drop even one pound and keep it off.  Our Alaskan cruise a few years ago really did me in - I jumped from 118 pounds to 124 and never lost an ounce. (Remember my blog post, Eating Our Way Through Alaska ? Yeah, I may have gotten carried away. I love meringue!) There wasn't much in my lifestyle to improve. We don't buy soda. I shop from the produce section more than anywhere else in the store and we eat home-cooked meals almost daily. Fad diets worked as a temporary solution, but the weight would quickly come right back. Lately, my scale has been hitting 130. 130! I haven't gotten any taller since weighing 118 a few years ago. (Wouldn't that be nice?)  My weight gain was unacceptable but I had no idea how

I've been neglecting my To Do list. I had the day off from work and was going to get everything done - blog updates, exercise, bathing our stinky dogs (their last bath was in the old house before we even put it on the market), meal prep, and more. Everything.  Then, I sat down for a late lunch and decided to check out the first episode of a show I'd heard so much about, The Handmaid's Tale. I'm not a big TV watcher and didn't expect to tune in for more than maybe 15 minutes. Eight nonstop hours later and well past bedtime, I pulled myself away. I hadn't even paused to have dinner. Sexy Nerd would probably have stopped me sooner,   but he was in California on a business trip. Alone in our new house in the woods, I got in bed and tried to clear my mind of all the creepy, graphic stuff from the show . (Spoiler alert - like the forced removal of a healthy eye. LOVE The Handmaid's Tale, by the way.) I was nearly asleep in the dark, quiet room when a shril

Amerisleep Promo Code : Save $250 with 'KITTY' at checkout Update: We've been sleeping on our new Amerisleep AS2 for several months. SN still loves it and insists he can't tell any difference between it and our AS3, but I much prefer the AS3. The AS2 is too hard! It also transfers motion more than the AS3 and pulls you toward where your spouse is sleeping if you get too close to them. So, we're doing another switcheroo! Our brand-new AS2 is going into the guest bedroom and our 6+ years old (though still like-new) AS3 is going to return to its rightful place as the master bed. I love Amerisleep's AS3 bed! You may recall watching me unbox two new Amerisleep mattresses about a month ago. They were a twin-size AS2 and twin AS4 and the plan was to place them side-by-side to create a super comfy king mattress that was firm on my husband's side and soft on mine. But guess what?   Though this new mattress is twice the size of the last one, the box wasn

Look! Up In The Sky! It's a Bird. It's a Plane. It's... (cue suspenseful music) DUN NAH NUH What's bigger than a king-size Amerisleep mattress? An Amerisleep Superbed! As you know, my nerdy engineer husband, SN, and I recently ordered two new twin XL mattresses from Amerisleep. The AS4 bed didn't work out for us (too soft and mushy for our taste) but we loved the extra-firm AS2 bed. It's perfect for people who sleep on their back (SN) and on their stomach (me).  SN liked it even better than the AS3 bed we'd slept on since 2012 and I thought it was at least equal to that mattress, which is now making our relatives happy in the guest bedroom. The AS2 costs a little less than the AS3 and a lot less than the AS4. Who would have thought the less expensive option would be the better choice, right? Money really doesn't buy happiness. (Okay, in all honesty, I think I prefer the AS3 just a hair over the AS2. Your first choice is usually the
