The medium-firm Amerisleep AS2 mattress has memory foam that cradles and supports your body, relieving pressure and discomfort.
Not only does the Amerisleep AS2 help relieve back pain and provide a great night of sleep, it's easier on the environment as well. Amerisleep produces its memory foam in a closed chamber, eliminating the hefty dose of harsh chemicals usually created (and expelled) in the production of this comfortable foam. Its eco-friendly production techniques ultimately lead to a mattress with very little of the lung-irritating Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) so common to memory foam.
It's not only your lungs that will thank you, however, for a night spent sleeping on the Amerisleep AS2. Your back is going to love you as well. The heart of the mattress is Amerisleep's Bio-Pur memory foam — a plant-based foam that cradles your body without building up body heat. That means you won't wake up hot and sweaty, a common problem with memory foam.
A layer of Active Flex foam lies atop the Bio-Pur foam. Active Flex has high conformability and excels at relieving pressure point pain. In between the two layers of foams, there's an Affinity layer for even more comfort, and a layer of textured channels to keep body heat from stagnating inside the mattress.
Top it all off with a Celliant fabric cover that recycles body heat into infrared light, and you end up with a mattress that is supremely comfortable, supportive, and great for anyone suffering from back pain.
Sleep Junkie chose the Amerisleep AS2 as the top pick for back pain, commenting that, "When it comes to reducing back pain, the AS2 also has Amerisleep's Surface Modification Technology (SMT). SMT is clinically shown to reduce pressure points up to 49%. It works by grouping hundreds of six-sided foam supports into five comfort zones to provide targeted pressure relief."
People who bought the AS2 heap praise on the mattress. Over and over, they use phrases such as, "So comfortable," "Best night of sleep ever," "No more back pain," and "Very firm and supportive." A few customers did say the mattress was too firm for their liking, but Amerisleep will return or exchange the mattress within 100 days if you don't like it.
Pros: Free shipping and delivery, easy returns within the first 100 days, excellent support and conformability, low VOCs, and few complaints of the mattress "sleeping hot."
Cons: Only available online, somewhat expensive
