Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Nolah Natural 11 over the Amerisleep AS3. It scores higher in pressure relief, edge support, durability and delivers stronger overall value. The Amerisleep AS3 is the better choice only if you sleep hot and cooling is your top priority.
Amerisleep AS3 vs Nolah Natural 11: What Actually Differs
The Amerisleep AS3 is a memory foam build, while the Nolah Natural 11 is a hybrid — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Amerisleep AS3 stands 12" tall versus 11" for the Nolah Natural 11 — a 1.0" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. Both sit at roughly 6/10 on the firmness scale — a medium-firm feel — so neither one is the answer if you need a dramatically different support level. The single largest performance gap is in pressure relief: the Nolah Natural 11 rates noticeably higher than the Amerisleep AS3, which is the deciding factor if that dimension is high on your list. On a Queen, the Amerisleep AS3 runs $999 versus $1,364 for the Nolah Natural 11 — roughly $365 (27%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
Which Is Better For Your Sleep Style?
Higher pressure-relief rating, which is what protects hip and shoulder contact points in the side position.
Both fall in the medium-firm zone back sleepers prefer (6/10 vs 6/10) — either works.
Effectively the same firmness (6/10 vs 6/10). Stomach sleepers generally want 7+/10 — neither is ideal if both rate lower.
Cooling rating not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
better long-term durability and stronger perimeter / edge support — the two specs heavier sleepers should weight most.
Same firmness on both, but stronger pressure relief — lighter sleepers don't sink in as much and benefit from the more contouring of the two.
Motion isolation rated the same on both — neither has a transfer-disturbance edge.
