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

Can't Feel My Face

Just a short, groggy post. I had my wisdom teeth out this morning and it was sooo much easier than I anticipated! Being knocked out is the way to go! However, that was back before 8am and it's now after 4pm and my tongue, lower lip, and most of my lower jaw/cheeks/ears are still completely numb. It's getting a little old! Other than that, I'm feelin' fine.

Pepperoni and Mozzarella. Pizza Time?

Sexy Nerd wanted to order a pizza. I wanted to save our money. So, we bought some pepperoni and mozzarella, which came out to less than the price of one Pizza Hut pizza. There was a problem though. We were out of quick & easy instant pizza dough mix, (which is a fantastic product, in case you've never tried it). Sure, we could make our own pizza dough from scratch, but that's messy and takes a long time. We wanted to eat our pizza ASAP! So, we made one pizza with a tortilla: "One pizza", you ask? "One teeny tiny tortilla pizza for 2 people?" Yes. Sadly, in addition to being out of instant pizza dough mix, we were also out of tortillas! So, we decided to use the next best thing and turned to the cookie jar. "The cookie jar", you ask?? Yes, of course the cookie jar! Where do you keep your biscuits? These seemed like they would make excellent little pizzas. And they did. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!

A Healthier New Year for Sexy Nerd

Sexy Nerd recently started a new program through work that requires a lot of traveling. He gets sick of all the time wasted at airports, but loves the many meals his company pays for. Fresh seafood in San Francisco. Prime rib in Seattle. Burnt ends in Kansas City. He's been living it up! After his most recent, week-long trip away from home, I decided to play the role of pesky wife and insisted that he step on the scale. Surely you knew there'd be consequences for eating out for every meal, didn't you, Sexy Nerd? The men in Sexy Nerd's family have a history of heart attacks at a young age, so a couple extra pounds is nothing to play around with. I planned to get him back on track by cooking healthy meals when he was home. I was all set to make a scrumptious breakfast of oatmeal with chia seeds (really, it's delicious!) when Sexy Nerd walked in with a bag of groceries. In our almost 7 years as a couple, this was maybe the 2nd time he has ever done any gro
