Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Layla Hybrid over the Amerisleep AS5. It scores higher in edge support, price-to-value and delivers stronger overall value. The Amerisleep AS5 is the better choice only if you sleep hot and cooling is your top priority.
Amerisleep AS5 vs Layla Hybrid: What Actually Differs
The Amerisleep AS5 is a memory foam build, while the Layla Hybrid is a hybrid — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Amerisleep AS5 stands 14" tall versus 13" for the Layla Hybrid — a 1.0" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base.

On a Queen, the Layla Hybrid runs $1,099 versus $1,599 for the Amerisleep AS5 — roughly $500 (31%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
