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

Those Lousy Republicans

Sexy Nerd, frustrated by the many smoke detector false alarms in our home, has been suggesting I buy a deep fryer. I was reading reviews on Amazon to find just the right one, when I came across the Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Electric Multi-Cooker and Fryer . It can be used as a fryer and a steamer, in a sort of dietary yin yang. Score! As a surprise bonus, someone had written the following...err...helpful review: "Very handy as it does a lot of different things well and doesn't take lots of precious kitchen space, not like republicans in washington." WHAT?! I was on the fence before, but now they're hogging all the space in my kitchen? Geez.

The Secret to Soft Summer Feet

I hate shoes. There, I said it. To all you strappy sandal gals and stiletto doo-dad fans, I just don't get the shoe obsession. Sure, there are some cute pairs out there, but really, what's better than the comfort of simply going barefoot? Nothing. Right now, while you're reading this, stretch out and wiggle your toes.

You know, apart from the occasional stray piece of used dental floss that makes its way between your bare toes. KIDDING! We're a sparkly clean pediatric dental office. Really. Nothing like a little black carpet to make pasty legs seem even whiter. Look away, everyone, before you're blinded!  And, please, do ignore all those bits and specks you see all over the carpet. I really was kidding about the dental floss. I promise. Galavanting around

Happy Hour Awkwardness

Let's begin this week with a quick, embarrassing story. Sexy Nerd and I went bowling the other day and decided to partake in the alley's happy hour special. We went to the bar and I ordered us two bottles of beer. It's not something I do often (okay, the last time may have been in Las Vegas, however many years we were last there) but ordering beer is simple enough, right? Bartender: You want to leave it open? Me: Sure! Sexy Nerd: No! Me: But I want to drink it now. That's it. From now on, I'm sticking with my Michelob ULTRA Light Cider , straight from the fridge. (For all my fellow non-orderers of beer, the bartender meant the bill . Oh!)
