Amerisleep AS3 vs Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Medium: What Actually Differs
The Amerisleep AS3 is a memory foam build, while the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Medium is a foam (Plant Based Memory Foam vs Memory Foam) — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Amerisleep AS3 stands 12" tall versus 10" for the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Medium — a 2.0" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. Both sit at roughly 5.5/10 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 long-term durability: the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Medium 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 $1,149 versus $1,999 for the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Medium — roughly $850 (43%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
