Firmness Info

The AS3 is our most versatile mattress. It evenly blends support and softness, so it's great for people who change positions as they sleep and couples with different sleep styles. It's also our most popular mattress overall.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

Three layer construction:

  • Bio-Pur® foam
  • HIVE® transition layer
  • Bio-Core® foam support layer
  • Refresh Cooling Cover.
Now available in a Hybrid (no HIVE layer but with a foam-encased pocket springs layer, see the AS3 Hybrid)

The 9" PacBed Original is back and better than ever! Leaner and lighter than the 11" version, the PacBed Lite still offers the great comfort and support that you expect from the PacBed, but at a lighter price. A 2-layer construction:

  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Gel-Infused Memory Foam
  • 6" 2lb Density High Quality Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.

Comfort Info

Traditional memory foam is made from dense material, so it traps your body heat and can make you sweaty and uncomfortable while you're in bed - and who can sleep like that?
We developed our foam with an enhanced "open cell structure", which means there is more air space between the foam particles. That space wicks away heat while you sleep, and can keep you cooler and more comfortable.

Support foam created to work in tandem with our CoolRest® Gel memory foam and provide perfect support for consistent and long lasting comfort.

Support Info

Our Bio-Core® foam support layer won't sag even after decades of use. And, like our Bio-Pur® foam, it's partially made from plants instead of petroleum so it's eco-friendly.
The HIVE® layer features hundreds of foam hexagons grouped into five comfort zones. Each zone is designed to provide extra cushion where you want it and support where you need it. That way your body gets the support it needs to stay properly aligned, so you can sleep your best.

High quality support foam designed to support and correctly align your spine so you can sleep better with less tossing and turning.

Comfort Specs

The HIVE® transition layer has precision-cut channels that carry away even more heat and moisture. It's enough to make you feel like you're weightlessly resting on a cloud.
Amerisleep's Bio-Pur® material features an advanced-open cell design. This makes Bio-Pur® more breathable and responsive than memory foam, which will keep you cool and comfortable all night. Plus we make Bio-Pur® from partially plant-based sources using a zero-emission process. That means it's the most eco-friendly material of its kind.

Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions.

Support Specs

Bio-Pur® contours to your body to relieve pressure points and bounces back fast, so you won't feel "stuck" during the night.
Our HIVE® transition layer provides targeted support and pressure relief so you can sleep in perfect alignment. It gives your head, back, and legs more support, and your shoulders and hips more cushion.

CoolRest® advanced gel-infused memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing and turning.

Fabric Specs

Refresh Cooling Cover
The Refresh Cover draws heat from your skin for a delightfully cool-to-the-touch feel. On average, your sleeping surface will stay 7 degrees cooler over an eight-hour night of rest compared to a traditional 100% polyester cover. This scientifically engineered fabric uses minerals to help convert your natural body heat into far infrared energy. This type of energy increases blood circulation to help speed up muscle recovery and improve quality of sleep.

Soft polyester knit cover for comfort and stretch, perfect for memory foam. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable for better temperature control. Accentuates the memory foam feel.
