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.

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

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)

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

  • 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
  • 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

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.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

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.

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

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.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

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.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

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.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
