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

Happy Birthday to Me!

Technically, my birthday isn't until next week, but I just checked my email and had 15 birthday deal messages! Let's see...if I use a coupon a day, starting tonight, I'll have used them all by April 18th (and will have eaten more than my fair share of pretzels, burgers, sandwiches, and brownie sundaes - gotta do it now before I get too old, right?) I owe all these nifty deals to a website (with which I am not affiliated in any way) I stumbled upon a few years ago: freebirthdaytreats.com . Just select your state, right-click on each business, and open each site in a new tab. Soon, you'll have more birthday goodies than you know what to do with. And, even if your birthday is not coming up, many of these companies will send you a welcome offer for signing up!  Free dinner just for being born? Why not!   Sexy Nerd would like to add that the "right click/open in new tab" thing is the reason my computer is always so slow, even though that's complete nonsen

Just Call Me Sweet Talker

I bought my DSLR camera today! Read on if you're in the market for a new DSLR. Heck, read on even if you're not! Thanks so much to all of you who offered advice toward the decision. In the end, I went with the Canon EOS Rebel T1i because of its great reviews, video capabilities, and dirt cheap price. How cheap, you ask? Well, Sexy Nerd's uncle isn't posting on Facebook to call me Sweet Talker for nothing. Wait...that sounds kinda weird. Scratch that last part and take a guess on how much I paid. Go on. $600? $500? $379.99, baby! I checked Target.com last night (as mentioned in this post ) and discovered that only one store in the Albuquerque area was still stocking the T1i. I called and was told that there was one in stock plus the floor model, both priced on clearance for $549.99. I asked if the floor model could be discounted further, but was told no. The girl on the phone did say that it would probably be marked 10% less after selling the last camera, if they ha
