My wife and I converted from an Aireloom mattress costing ~$3,500.00. During the time I had said Aireloom I developed huge back problems: 9 herniated or ruptured discs + Scoliosis. The mattress was killing my back. We had the occasion to sleep on an AS3 several nights prior to acquiring...I was sold! We've now had our AS3 for ~ 1 month. I'm getting the best nights sleep I've had in years! Oh by th The Bear · amerisleep.com

Beyond its comfort, I chose it specifically because the bed I have it on is a Murphy Bed, which requires certain types of mattres Nicole B. · bearmattress.com
