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.

On a scale of 10, our mattress has a 6.5 firmness level. We like to refer to it as a "medium firm" - soft at the top, firmer in the middle.

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)

Each component of the MOLECULE mattress has been engineered to work synergistically to maximize support, comfort and heat dissipation for the best recovery-focused sleep. Featuring a 4 layer construction:

  • 1" BioCharge™ layer
  • 2" AirTEC™ layer
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 6" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

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.

Better sleep leads to peak performance. It's not just the quantity of your sleep, it's the quality. Your body restores itself most during Slow Wave Sleep - replenishing blood and oxygen and releasing essential hormones. Sleep scientists and athletes engineered Molecule's unique sleep system so you benefit from the most revitalizing stage of rest, optimizing your body's recovery and performance.

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 firm base support fosters healthy spine alignment.

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.

The most restorative rest happens when your body temperature is cooler. Only Molecule offers this revolutionary airy, extreme open-cell structure for consistent cooling even when compressed by your body weight. Cozy support with more than seven-times the airflow of traditional memory foam. Active people need more support and airflow than traditional egg-crate foam mattresses can deliver.

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.

Ergonomically-engineered Molecule features a meticulously-engineered matrix of hexagon-shaped channels that respond to your unique anatomy and promote airflow even at the deepest depression points. You awake refreshed with relief from sore muscles and joints. Larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region. Varying hexagon zone density around the legs and feet to support the lower body.

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.

Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra. It wicks away heat and moisture to keep skin comfortably cool. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, Molecule's advanced cover material responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Microban® antimicrobial treatment keeps your mattress fresh and clean.
