Amerisleep Construction
- Amerisleep offers five firmness options. The 10โณ thick AS1 is the most firm, and the 14โณ thick AS5 is the softest. Construction is similar across models. The five firmness options are explained in greater depth here.
- All models use a Celliant fabric cover, which evenly distributes thermal energy. Celliant is said to help with muscle recovery and is incorporated into some athletic clothing.
- All models have a top comfort layer of Amerisleepโs Bio-Pur memory foam, with thickness varying by firmness level. This special foam is designed to ensure cool sleeping.
- The softest option, AS5, has under its Bio-Pur layer an additional layer of an especially soft foam. This layer is is not included in other models.
- A supportive transition foam layer comes in as the third layer for AS5, and second layer for medium-firm options AS2, AS3, and AS4. This layer is thickest in the firmer AS2 and thinnest in the softer AS4. AS5 also has a layer of this material.
- All models except AS1 have a 7โณ base layer of dense support foam.
- AS1 has only two layers. It goes straight from the Bio-Pur comfort layer to a dense, 8โณ thick base layer. The thickness of this firm base layer and lack of middle layers make AS1 firmer.
Amerisleep AS4 Mattress
The Amerisleep AS4 is one of the brandโs softest models and should be a great fit for side sleepers.

Amerisleep and Casper Wave both offer responsive surfaces, but the Waveโs material is a little more elastic. The Wave is similar in firmness to the Amerisleep AS4. The Wave is also zoned, meaning you can feel a little bit more firmness in the middle of the mattress.Motion Transfer Differences
Both absorb and isolate motion well. Amerisleepโs softer options do this better than its firmer options. I believe both choices will be good for couples.
