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.

I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f

Stretch the Cat

Meet Stretch. "Love my rolls." Stretch lives on the wall in our kitchen. See the smug look in his eyes? There's really no stopping him. Now, using the authority of his mighty rump, Stretch has expanded his occupancy of our home to include the laundry room door. Pica thinks this is a bunch of nonsense.

New Home Update

Happy Weekend, everyone! For all you curious types, things seem to be right on track with our property purchase. We're planning to drive up to our lot tomorrow and I'm hoping to have some photos up soon. (I love the lot, but I'm also suffering from an extreme case of Weekend Lazies.) Oh, I suppose there must be a photo of the lot online that I can show you now... 13.1 acres, baby! And, actually, it turns out that there is not a photo of our lot online (the bank is really trying hard to sell it, right?) so this is a nearby lot for sale. Some dirt, some trees, some more dirt - you get the idea. (and BEARS! and MOUNTAIN LIONS! I've opted not to think about that part though.) BTW, my mom told us an interesting tidbit about the previous owners of our foreclosed on piece of land. It's a post for another day though (hint: it involves mass nakedness!)

Laminate Floors

For those of you who doubt the durability of laminate floors, I present: Pica! A hyper Jack Russell is no match for this floor. Even her claws sliding across it do not do any harm. (Dropping an attachment from your stand mixer will leave a dent though, as I learned the hard way.)(Roomba also cannot be trusted after leaving swirls on the floor. Punk robot!) As an added bonus, since Pica cannot get much traction on this floor, she slides excitedly into the wall, the door, the fridge, (etc, etc!) whenever we come home. MUST.KILL.ROPE! MUST.FLIP.UPSIDE.DOWN! Aaaaaaaaugh!
