Conclusion

Amerisleep really came for the competition: 5 all-foam mattresses with 3 hybrids is a big proof they are not in for gimmicks but business.

Nectar a China-made mattress brand prides itself in memory foam and they share that in common with Amerisleep but with just a single firmness level which is not bad in its own right, but could be a deal-breaker for some.

However, Amerisleep is a better label since its memory foam was designed to outperform traditional memory foams. It does not trap heat the way regular memory foams do.

The inclusion of three hybrids versions out of the five mattresses offered by Amerisleep is a great step to satiate the needs of hybrid and all-foam lovers alike.

Amerisleep offers the widest diversity of firmness levels with each mattress designed for a unique firmness feel and this is indeed a closer for the case against nectar
