Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the GhostBed Luxe Foam over the Amerisleep AS5. It scores higher in cooling, motion isolation, pressure relief 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 GhostBed Luxe Foam: What Actually Differs
Both the Amerisleep AS5 and GhostBed Luxe Foam are memory foam mattresses, so the real differences come down to firmness tuning, performance ratings, and price rather than construction type. Profile-wise they're almost identical — the Amerisleep AS5 measures 14" and the GhostBed Luxe Foam measures 14", so neither will dictate your sheet depth or bed-frame compatibility. The GhostBed Luxe Foam is the firmer of the two at 6.5/10 (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. Queen pricing lands within $50 of each other ($1,849 vs $1,799), so price is essentially neutral — pick on feel and features rather than budget.
Which Is Better For Your Sleep Style?
Pressure-relief data not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
Firmness of 6.5/10 is closer to the medium-firm sweet spot back sleepers need for lumbar support (vs 3.5/10).
Firmer at 6.5/10 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 6.5/10 — 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.
