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

Vacation Day #4 - Astoria, Oregon

The day started out so chilly that we didn't plan to leave the Veendam. Luckily, the sun came out and we went ashore. Where we had the best fish and chips ever, made with tuna, at Bowpicker Fish and Chips. One whole order was plenty to share! Bonus: they gave us 6 pieces instead of 5! Woo hoo! We didn't expect to see any New Mexico plates in Oregon. We returned to our room to find this cute elephant!

Vacation Day #2 - Vancouver

We had breakfast at the hotel, walked to Starbucks, and took a stroll through the city. After the party animals go to sleep, (so, soo many party animals downtown on a Saturday night) Vancouver is quite nice! One of my all-time favorite photos of Sexy Nerd. These photos were taken by the Canada Place cruise ship terminal. "Gimme that camera!" "I want to move to Vancouver!" We walked through Stanley Park. Nothing in Albuquerque can compete with it. Ooh, canadian geese in Canada! While strolling through the park, we came across many raccoons, including this mom & baby: We walked back to the cruise ship terminal, checked in, then continued sightseeing. The steam clock in Gas Town: Next, it was time for some lunch. Holland America Veendam, here we come! Coolest thing on the ship? Touch-screen game tables in the Mix Lounge. Weirdest thing on the ship? Every day, they change the rugs in the elevators so that the passengers will kno

Vacation Day #1 - Seattle

After flying to Seattle from Albuquerque, we took the light rail to the Amtrak station, where we were able to check our luggage. Next, it was time to explore the waterfront. Who can resist having their photo taken with a giant penguin? Not me. We walked to the mall. Sexy Nerd found a more manly penguin for his photo. Downtown Seattle seemed a bit rough so we made sure to be back at the Amtrak station before dark. The station is undergoing a huge restoration project right now. The Amtrak station started with a beautiful, intricate ceiling. Some time during the 60s, someone had the "brilliant" idea to modernize the building - by installing a drop ceiling! I can't believe Amtrak has waited this long to start uncovering the original ceiling. We arrived in Vancouver shortly before midnight. It wasn't the best 1st impression of Canada. We're old fuddy duddys and on Saturday night/early Sunday morning, Vancouver is a party town!
