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.

It's that time of year again! The juniper has taken hold of our Albuquerque air and it seems like everyone is sneezing and scratching at their red, puffy eyes, myself included. My coworkers have been calling in sick, but I think their colds are really misdiagnosed allergies. Uggh, my head is pounding and my nose is driving me crazy! This time next year, I'm taking a cruise. Don't let me forget! It's 7pm. I think I'll go to bed.

Not Baaad Sundays Blog Hop - On Friday

I didn't sleep at all last night (courtesy of the awesomeness that is idiopathic insomnia ) and I'm scrambling to get ready for work, (none of my clothes look good today) where I know I'm going to be painfully shorthanded, just like I have been all week. Ugh, how can you wake up on the wrong side of the bed when you didn't even get to wake up? And what does this have to do with the Blog Hop? (Nothing at all, of course!) I've been wondering if the weekend is the best time for the Not "Baaad" linky party. Let's try it a little early today and see what happens.
