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 Mother's Day weekend, everyone! I'm pre-posting this at 3am. Isn't insomnia just the greatest? Here's to hoping that whenever you read this, I'll be fast asleep. Whether you're reading this at 10:30am or 4pm, I'm sticking by that last statement. Do something fun today (after the amazing fun of linking up, of course!)

I'm in (Red Light) Therapy

Does red light therapy really work? After researching it and reading scientific studies, I tested it at Sun Care Albuquerque and am a believer. It's supposedly the holy grail of beauty and Jennifer Aniston's anti-aging secret. Decreased cellulite, faded dark spots, diminished wrinkles, etc. all while relaxing. It's practically magic! As soon as I figure out a place to put one in our home (extra tricky because it requires a 220v outlet), I'm going to purchase a used tanning bed on Craigslist and reconfigure it with red light bulbs. So, how did my first Red Light Therapy test go? The Premium Shopping Guide had a coupon to try it for free at Sun Care Spray Tan & Skin Care Salon in Albuquerque. I thought the light would be just for my face - I had no idea I would actually be stripping down to use it! Thank goodness you get your own private room or I would have chickened out. That said, I suppose it does seem a bit unlikely that Sun Care Albuquerque would just have

It's that time again. I'm sitting here snacking on Whoppers, which must be the worst possible candy you can eat. The first 3 ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, and partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil. Yum! I'm looking forward to visiting all the great links this weekend. If this week's linky is anything like the last, I'm going to have lots of great posts to share on Pinterest. There are so many talented bloggers out there!

A Mini Nightmare

My poor Sexy Nerd. He was so happy to get his Mini Cooper . Although it was supposedly perfect when he bought it, he immediately devoted his time and money to making it even better with decals, new premium oil (though the dealership had just changed the oil), and a clear bra. As a side note, searching online for a “clear bra” made him very uncomfortable. (So he says!) Sadly, Sexy Nerd’s newly purchased Mini Cooper isn’t running. He spent all weekend working on it. Just as he was ready to put it back together, one of the bolts broke. You can just run down to any parts store and pick up another bolt, right? Nope! Mini bolts can only be replaced with Mini bolts. The Mini dealership was closed (of course!) leaving Sexy Nerd out of luck. Now, he won’t have time to fix his car until next weekend. A lot of good your fancy Hella racing lights are going to do you now, Sexy Nerd.   I feel bad for him. Really, I do. My pre-buying research showed that Consumer Reports warned against b
