When it comes to buying a new bed, it’s important to take your sleep needs and style into consideration. If you’re a side sleeper, the best mattress for you will be one that offers ample cushioning around your shoulders, hips and knees, which is exactly where it’s required.
The Helix Midnight and Amerisleep AS3 are two of the best mattresses of 2024 for providing blissful pressure relief for side sleepers and both have a medium firmness rating. That isn’t where their similarities end, though. Both beds are hybrids, which means they are crafted out of a combination of coils and foam (the Amerisleep AS3 is also available as an all foam, if preferred). They also both boast strong motion isolation, which is great news for restless sleepers who share a bed.
However, there is a significant price difference between them. At MSRP, a twin size Amerisleep AS3 is double the price of a twin size Helix Midnight. Current discounts mean that a queen size Amerisleep AS3 is $1,499 (was $1,949), while a queen size Helix Midnight is $999 (was $1,248.80).
The Memorial Day mattress sales will likely drive prices down further, so it’s worth waiting if you want to buy your new bed at the best possible price. But which mattress is right for you? Let’s find out.
