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

Check-In Awkwardness at the Royal Garden Inn, Waikiki, HI

Sometimes, I wonder if instead of trying to get a grip on my social anxiety , I should perhaps embrace it wholeheartedly. The man at the Royal Garden Inn front desk was quite friendly, chatting with Sexy Nerd and helping us get settled in Waikiki.  He asked if we've been to Oahu before and Sexy Nerd said yes, about 5 years ago, to get married.

Adventurous Eating in Australia

Okay, so this is probably not going to sound "adventurous" to most people, but for me, it's huge. While in Brisbane, I ate several calamari and one prawn. In Perth, I ate salmon, in actual salmon form! No tarter sauce or anything. I've never been a seafood person. I think I deserve a few kudos for venturing outside of my picky eating bubble. Don't you agree? Calamari = Disturbingly similar appearance, taste, and texture to the rubber bands used for my braces Prawns = Not the same thing as crawfish, which is what I was expecting to be served (super relieved, as I'd already agreed to try one!) Extra bonus that their creepy eyes had been removed Salmon = Convinced myself I was eating chicken. Not bad this way! Accidentally flipped over the skin underneath the salmon to reveal iridescent fishy scales. Gave the rest to Sexy Nerd  This handsome fella (love the nails!) tried to steal some of our picnic lunch in Perth. Our American
