Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe over the Amerisleep AS5. It scores higher in motion isolation, pressure relief, edge support and delivers stronger overall value. The Amerisleep AS5 is the better choice only if you specifically prefer a softer, more plush feel.
Amerisleep AS5 vs Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe: What Actually Differs
The Amerisleep AS5 is a memory foam build, while the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is a hybrid — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Amerisleep AS5 stands 14" tall versus 13.25" for the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe — a 0.8" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is the firmer of the two at 6/10 (medium-firm), and the Amerisleep AS5 sits at 3.5/10 (medium-soft) — a meaningful enough gap that sleeper position and weight should drive the choice. On a Queen, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe runs $1,099 versus $1,849 for the Amerisleep AS5 — roughly $750 (41%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.

Firmness of 6/10 is closer to the medium-firm sweet spot back sleepers need for lumbar support (vs 3.5/10).
Firmer at 6/10 vs 3.5/10 — stomach sleepers need the extra support to keep the pelvis from sinking and arching the lower back.
Cooling rating not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
Durability and edge-support ratings not available — spec not available.
Softer at 3.5/10 vs 6/10 — lighter sleepers compress less, so they typically need the softer of two options to get proper contouring.
Motion-isolation data not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
