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

Come Take a Tour of Our Guest Bedroom!

Remember my post about getting our guest bedroom ready? You don't? Oh, I suppose it has been a little while. It feels like 2012 was just the other day though! Here is that same guest bedroom, all tidied up and ready for company. The chalkboard door beckons you to enter. Complete with M&Ms waiting on each pillow. Don't you want to visit me?  We replaced the boring, wood closet doors with these pretty curtains. Want to hear a secret? I took all these photos back when our guests were staying with us in 2012, and the room has changed since then. I'll post the new pictures in 2016.

Pica is NEVER Allowed on the Couch Again

The larger wet spot is drool from where Pica's head was laying.   And the smaller wet spot? It's from her other end. She's been chowing down on inedible berries in our backyard, resulting in some...leakage. Ew, Pica. Eeeewwwwwww!   Looking guilty. (Rightfully so!)

The Thrift Store Is Ruining My Life

This dress was only $4! I love its fun, vintage vibe. Isn't the pattern cute? It also turns out, despite having two layers of fabric, that this cute dress is quite see-through. Surprise! I just had to wear the polka dot underwear to work, didn't I? *sigh*

Sexy Nerd Quote of the Day

Sometimes I worry Sexy Nerd is too sophisticated for me. He has a real, grown-up career and a plan for retirement. He can teach you about expensive wine, international politics, and architecture laws. He thinks the movies I love, like Harold and Kumar and American Pie, are "stupid", though he supposedly shared my interest in them when we met a million years ago. Over time, he's become more and more of an old soul, to the point that sometimes he simply isn't any fun for me to be around. He often spends entire days tending to cactus alone, patiently pinching aphids from between the needles, knowing he'll never be able to get them all. Who in their 30s does that? I makes me worry...but sometimes there are glimmers of hope. Deep down, though, Sexy Nerd is still the fun guy I fell in love with. I was reminded of this the other night when we were watching the Olympics. The Men's Ski Jumping was on, and it made him laugh. What's so funny about this? Se
