Firmness Info

The AS5 is our softest mattress. It wraps you in plush comfort that stays cool all night. But it also bounces back fast, so you never feel stuck.

Medium feel top of the bed you need - not too firm, not too soft. Rated a 7 to 8 on the firmness scale. Maximum support - to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

For anyone seeking the ultimate in softness, this is the bed for you. Four layer construction:

  • Bio-Pur® foam
  • Active Flex 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 AS5 Hybrid)

The Helix Plus is designed for Plus Size and Big & Tall and offers maximum support with a medium feel, it has five layers of construction:

  • Tencel Cover
  • 1.5" Helix Dynamic Foam
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam (Density: 4.0 lb)
  • 1.5" Memory Foam Plus
  • 8" Body Shaped Innersprings with reinforced perimeter
  • 0.5" DuraDense Base Foam.

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.

Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights.

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.

The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.

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.

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body.
Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend.

Support Specs

Active Flex adds extra softness to the AS5, without sacrificing support. It cradles you the instant you lie down and it rebounds in seconds if you shift positions.
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.

Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support.
The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.

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.

Each Plus mattress comes with our Ultra Breathable Tencel technology designed to increase airflow and to keep you cool.
