How are Amerisleep mattresses different than traditional memory foam mattresses?
Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, is popular because it relieves pressure while still bouncing back quickly enough to be supportive. Because of its density, memory foam tends to trap heat. Amerisleep offsets this problem by using plant-based Bio-Pur®.
Made with castor oil instead of petrochemicals, it releases minimal off-gassing odors upon opening and circulates air easier than traditional memory foam.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a king size and a California king size mattress?
A king-size bed is wider and shorter, measuring at 76” by 80”, while a California king size mattress is longer and more narrow at 72” by 84”.
Why is it called a “California king”?
Also known as a “western king” California king size mattresses were created in California to accommodate larger living areas, and have since grown in popularity.
Which one is better, Cal king or king?
It depends on what you value more—length or width. California king size mattresses are better-suited for sleepers over 6-feet-tall who need the additional legroom. Standard king mattresses are best for couples who prefer extra personal space to get comfortable.
What is the best California king size mattress?
The best California king size mattress should relieve pressure points, especially in heavier sections of the body, evenly support weight, and last at least 7 to 9 years. You can determine the best mattress for your sleep needs by considering your sleeping position and body weight—a mattress should be soft enough to alleviate pressure and firm enough to facilitate proper spinal alignment no matter how you sleep.
How do I choose a comfortable mattress firmness?
Choose mattress firmness based on your body weight and preferred sleep position for pressure point relief and consistent spinal alignment. For example, sleepers over 230 pounds will find themselves most comfortable on firmer mattresses since these beds don’t allow for much sinkage. On the other hand, petite sleepers will like softer beds better because they offer enhanced cushioning comfort.
How long is the Amerisleep sleep trial?
Each of our mattresses come with a 100-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, free shipping, and free returns. If you decide during your sleep trial that the mattress isn’t right for you, just give us a call, and we’ll arrange for it to be picked up free of charge and will issue a full refund.
How much does an Amerisleep California king size mattress cost?
We offer eight mattress models: five memory foam mattresses and three hybrids—our California king size mattresses range in price from $1199 to $2399.
Does an Amerisleep California king size mattress reduce back pain?
Our mattresses feature innovative pressure-relieving Bio-Pur® to alleviate aches and pains and prevent future discomfort. Bio-Pur® molds to the body to offer immediate cushioning comfort and relieve tension in throughout your body, especially in the back, shoulders, and hips.
Each of our mattresses (besides the hybrids and AS1) also features HIVE® technology, HIVE® offers zoned support to promote healthy spinal alignment and prevent backaches. HIVE® offers firm support under your torso, head, and feet to maintain healthy alignment and is softer under the shoulders and hips for improved pressure relief.
If you’re looking for the best mattress for back pain, consider our AS2, as it was previously voted by Business Insider as one of the best mattresses for back pain relief.
How often should you replace your Amerisleep California king size mattress?
Memory foam mattresses, on average, last about 7 to 10 years, whereas hybrid mattresses last 6 to 9 years, usually. We build our mattresses with highly-durable materials to help you get the most for your money. Plus, we offer a 20-year warranty with each of our beds, protecting you from manufacturing defects and sags.
What does the Amerisleep mattress warranty cover?
Each mattress comes with a 20-year warranty, covering sagging greater than 1.5” and any manufacturing defects causing damage to the mattress.
