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

Home Design Ideas and Pretty House Photos

Now that Sexy Nerd and I are invested in property to build a home on, I can while away hours looking at photos online. My home building strategy is to take my most admired photos and design them into our house. Here are some of my favorites* so far: *These were all saved in a design folder on my computer without link information. If you know where a photo should be linked to, please let me know and I'll be happy to add a link!  Kids Room (Sexy Nerd insists the kid is going to break every bone in their little body when they plummet down those steps.

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!)
