Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

  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

Amerisleep Recover+ Duvet with Celliant

Looking for a mattress sale? A list of all available Amerisleep coupons is featured at the bottom of this post. Amerisleep Recover+ Duvet with Celliant SN and I have a new blanket, which I normally wouldn't bother to blog about, but this is no ordinary blanket. (Actually, it's technically a duvet, but isn't that just a fancy word for blanket?)(Google says it's not. I'm going to use it as a blanket anyway.) It is made with a Celliant fabric, just like our beloved Amerisleep mattresses, and has a Celliant filling. Amerisleep says their new duvet is like snuggling with a cloud, but I prefer to think of it as a big, toasty cinnamon bun. We've been using the new Amerisleep Recover+ Duvet for about 2 weeks and have had a love/hate relationship with it. LOVE: Surprisingly, through the magic of Celliant, the Recover+ Duvet actually calms my Restless Leg Syndrome. I know, this sounds crazy. A blanket that cures Restless Leg Syndrome? The science behind

Get the &%*# Outta Here, 2019

In addition to blogging about holiday gift ideas ( find here ),  I'm jumping on the end-of-year collage bandwagon. 2019 was a struggle. Although there were many good times, like traveling to  Australia  and San Antonio, adopting Olive , attending wine festivals , and even buying a '73 Corvette (which needs lots of work - ask me in 2020 if I'd still consider this a positive), the last few months have hit me hard with the sudden death of Pica *, my grandma passing away, and my best friend overdosing herself into a coma. In the midst of all this, my longtime coworker quit without notice. And it seems like everyone is having a baby, which shouldn't bother me but it does.  Ugh, change. *Pica and I were just sitting on the couch together. She got up, went to the next room, and died. I still can't believe it. I'm trying to stay optimistic about 2020. Hey, it's the roaring twenties! We have a trip to Washington, DC booked and plans to build a lake hous

Christmas Movie Trivia

Christmas Movie Trivia   We all get into the Christmas spirit (even my boss, who is Jewish), but no one takes it quite as far as my coworker. She encourages our patients to wear her musical hat, but with one rule - they must also dance. Even the most sullen teenagers join in! As profitable as running this blog is (ha ha), I have a "real job" working for the best Albuquerque pediatric dentist . Next month will mark 15 years with her - I was practically a baby when I started! I've been working on some fun holiday Facebook posts for our patients to enjoy, including trivia questions about their favorite Christmas movies.  I originally published everything at once and was disappointed when no one reacted or commented.  Then Facebook suggested again and again that these were such great posts that I should  pay to turn them into ads. Well no wonder none of our patients responded. Facebook hadn't allowed anyone to see my holiday posts! If that doesn't get your

Quick Trip to the %!#* Pharmacy

Tuesday: Swing by my local Smith's for my prescription and browse the discount Halloween candy. The candy they have bothered to price is still too expensive. After standing in the pharmacy line for a few minutes, I realize I left my HSA card at home. Wednesday: I still forget my HSA card, so decide not to go to Smith's today. See in the new ad that Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup is on sale for just $0.49/can. $0.49/can!!! The real stuff, not the store brand. It is never priced that low. I make an extra trip to Smith's, wanting to hit up the special on the first day before the soup sells out. Smith's has no Cream of Chicken soup. Thursday: After double checking that the pharmacy opens at 9 am, I run in before work. They have soup in stock! I buy 30 cans. (Yes, there was still soup left for the other customers.) It's 9am and the pharmacy is still all gated up. 9:05. Still closed. I don't want to be late to work but I don&

It's a Girl! It's a Pit Bull Puppy!

After the sudden, unexpected loss of the best dog ever, Pica , I was lost. I'm pretty sure my boss was worried I was going to kill myself. You can't kill yourself over a dog though, right? Everyone knows dogs don't live forever. After several dark weeks, SN insisted we go look at puppies. Ridiculous! Still, they did look awfully cute online. We would only get one if it was from a shelter, so it would be like we were saving a dog's life...and isn't that what Pica would have wanted? Maybe we could even find another Jack Russell.  Funny enough, we always insisted when Pica was alive that we would never want another Jack Russell, which should really be called a Jerk Russell . She was a stubborn, jealous, destructive handful. There was no stopping her from barking. (At nothing!) She was such a greedy little piggy that we had to feed her with a jar inside her food dish, as it was the only way we could stop her from swallowing the entire bowlful in one gulp. And she s

Best Halloween Costume Ever

Happy Halloween! I'm super boring this year, with no costume, no decorations, and (gasp!) no candy. Here's a throwback Halloween post from a few years ago. Until 6th grade, I was a cat every year. I finally switched things up when I saw a picnic table costume in an American Girl magazine. That's right. For Halloween, I went trick-or-treating as a picnic table, complete with paper plates and baggies of chips hot glued on. Wanting to outdo myself, the next year I was a mama cat trying to sell her babies. Sure, it sounds horrible now, but I remember it looking so cute in that 1997 American Girl magazine. I'm pleased to declare that 2012 was the year of my Best Costume Ever ! Unbeknownst to her ahead of time, I went as my Halloween-loving coworker, Marie, complete with blond wig and her stolen name tag. It must have been meant to be, because she came in wearing the exact same pair of Halloween socks, purely by coincidence! Now I just need to figure out a wa

The Greatest Dog Ever, Pica

Our little Pica puppy would have been 14 on October 19th, 2019. She seemed fine. I still can't believe it. She was a sickly puppy when she came to us, full of worms and ear mites. The veterinarian placed drops in Pica's ears, covered both sides, and shook her little head back and forth. When we got her, I was 21 and SN was 23. We were just kids back then. We were living in a rental house. Pica was there for all our biggest milestones, like graduating college, buying our first home, and getting married. We even built our new house with her in mind. She was having trouble navigating the stairs, so it's a single story. Pica and Biscuit have their own bedroom. Everything in our life is Pica. Even on our recent 3-week vacation, a day didn't go by that we didn't talk about her. Her little paws and her stubby tail and her spots. Her rolls of flab and her hairy mole and her floppy ears. Guess what? Pica butt. Pica has bee
