Amerisleep is best known for its memory foam beds and the newly released AS6 Black Series mattress. The Organica line is the brand's latex offering. Latex foam mattresses are known for being more 'natural' than other types of beds and are popular among eco-conscious shoppers.
The two Organica mattresses will satisfy shoppers looking for a natural and organic mattress and provide a specific type of comfort and options that should suit your firmness preference.
First impressions of the Amerisleep Organica mattress
Jon Gomez/CNET
The team unboxed the original Organica mattress quite a while ago, and to be honest, the mattress got a bit lost in the shuffle. The nature of latex foam beds like Organica means that it has a lot of similarities in design, firmness and feel to other beds in its class, like the Avocado Green, the Awara Natural and the Winkbed EcoCloud. It is just difficult to stand out when the competition is using the same specific materials.
When the new Amerisleep Organica Plush first arrived, I was immediately surprised by just how plush it was. Most beds right out of the box are a bit soft -- but even after a few days, the Organica Plush was easily the softest latex hybrid bed I've tested.
Dillon Payne/CNET
This is great news because not many beds in this category are plush, and Organica can now fill that niche.
Is the Amerisleep Organica mattress right for you?
The Organica mattress is a solid pick for anyone looking for a latex foam hybrid mattress with organic certifications. It's relatively affordable compared to the competition, and the new Organica Plush model for side sleepers is a fantastic choice for side sleepers who want something soft and organic.
Amerisleep Organica mattress firmness and feel
Organica mattress feel
The feel of both versions of the Organica mattress is virtually identical. It's similar to most beds with latex foam in their construction.
Latex foam is a naturally bouncy material. When you press down on it with your hand and then take your hand away, it snaps back into shape almost immediately, so it's responsive and moves with you.
Dillon Payne/CNET
If you've ever tried a memory foam bed, latex foam is basically the exact opposite. When rotating between sleeping positions, like from your side to your back, it feels like the material is almost propelling you, which is jarring if you've tried a latex bed before. I personally find latex foam beds comfortable (although I'm sleeping on a memory foam bed right now), but not everyone does.
We cycle through beds at our office a lot when new models come out, and old ones are no longer available. I have noticed that when people come to our office to test out beds, latex foam ones seem to be liked the least. That is obviously anecdotal, and lots of people enjoy the feel of latex foam but just know it's unlike most traditional beds.
Organica firmness
The Organica mattress is now available in two different models, with the key difference being the firmness profile. The base model Organica is between a medium and a medium-firm on our firmness scale (roughly a 6.5 out of 10). This means it should work well for all sleeper types: back, stomach, side and combination. Combination sleepers who spend part of the night in one position and then switch are usually fans of this type of firmness profile, as are couples.
JD Christison/CNET
Side sleepers generally favor beds with a softer profile that cradles their hips and shoulders and offers pressure relief. The newer Organica Plush fits that bill, and our Mattress Smasher 9000 rated it 2.5 out of 10. It is easily the softest latex mattress we've tested to date.
Dillon Payne/CNET
This is great news for side sleepers looking for an organic latex mattress because the second softest latex bed we've tested to date is the Winkbed Ecocloud (5.1 out of 10).
Amerisleep Organica mattress construction
The construction of both models of Organica is pretty standard for a latex foam hybrid.
The main support layer of Organica is an 8-inch layer of individually wrapped, responsive coils. This provides plenty of support for every body type, including heavier folks.
Above the coil layer is a 1-inch layer of natural Talalay latex foam. This layer of latex foam is a bit firmer and functions as a buffer between the comfort foam above and the coil layer below.
The main comfort layer is a 2-inch layer of soft Talalay latex foam. Between the latex foam and the organic cotton cover is a 1-inch layer of organic wool for more padding and a fire barrier.
Jon Gomez/CNET
On the Organica Plush, an additional 3 inches of latex foam softens the bed significantly. This bed has a whopping 6 inches of latex foam in the mattress.
Organica certifications
As I've mentioned a few times, pretty much every material used in constructing the Organica mattress has some certification to show that it is organic and eco-friendly.
The latex foam has GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifications. The wool and cotton are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified.
The Organica mattress is a great choice if you're looking for an eco-friendly mattress.
Earthfoam mattress performance
Edge support
The edge support of a mattress is important for couples sharing a mattress. If the bed's perimeter doesn't hold up well under pressure, it can lead to poor sleep due to feeling like you're going to roll off the bed.
Jon Gomez/CNET
The edge support for both versions of Organica is good. You will feel more supported by the base model than the Plush model because it is firmer and there's less material between you and the support coils, but I don't see people having issues on either one.
The coils along the perimeter of the bed are made with a thicker gauge of steel, which provides improved edge support and is helpful for couples.
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation is another factor important for couples because a bed with poor motion isolation can wake you up if your partner tosses and turns throughout the night.
This is an area where the Organica mattress doesn't perform that well because of the nature of latex foam. It's so bouncy and responsive that if your partner tosses and turns at night, you will likely feel like and if you're a light sleeper, that can lead to disrupted sleep.
If you're a heavy sleeper who doesn't even wake up easily, then this won't be an issue, but light sleepers might have problems with Organica.
Temperature regulation
I'd describe the Organica mattress as sleeping temperature neutral. Latex foam is naturally breathable, and the molds mattress makers use to manufacture latex foam create perforations in the foam that improve airflow even more.
Dillon Payne/CNET
Organic beds made with wool can sleep warmer than average, as two members of our teams discovered when they sleept on the Avocado Luxury Organic mattress for a full month. Sleeping hot has way more to do with your sleeping environment than your specific mattress, so I wouldn't worry too much.
Organica (base model) mattress pricing
Size Measurements (inches) Price Twin 38x75 $1,499 Twin XL 38x80 $1,549 Full 54x75 $1,699 Queen 60x80 $1,749 King 76x80 $2,049 Cal king 72x84 $2,049
The base model Organica mattress is competitively priced when compared to other latex foam hybrids. It's more affordable than the base model Avocado Green mattress, the Winkbed EcoCloud and the Birch Natural. It's also usually discounted heavily to bring the retail price down.
The Organica Plush is expensive, though. A queen-size Organica Plush costs an additional $1,250 on top of the retail price of the base model, coming out to $2,999. This price puts it in the luxury tier.
Dillon Payne/CNET
Amerisleep mattress policies
Free shipping
Like most online mattresses, the Organica will ship right to your door at no extra cost inside a large box (as long as you live in the contiguous United States). If you live outside the US or in Alaska or Hawaii, you must pay for a 'freight forwarder' to get this bed shipped to you.
Unboxing this particular mattress isn't easy because it's quite heavy, so you should definitely have a friend there to help you remove it from the box.
100-night trial
Amerisleep provides a standard 100-night in-home sleep trial with all of its beds. Keep in mind that your sleep trial begins the day you receive the mattress so make sure you get it unboxed as quickly as you can and start sleeping on it because it can take up to 30 nights for your body to adjust to a new bed.
Return policy
Within the 100-night trial period, but not before night 30, you can return the Organica and get a full refund with no additional cost, making the mattress a risk-free purchase.
Like most brands, Amerisleep will ask you to sleep on the bed for at least 30 nights before initiating a return because no matter how nice and well-suited your new mattress is to your sleep type, your body needs a bit of time to adjust to it.
Warranty
The Organica mattresses are backed by a 20-year warranty, double the length of the standard 10-year warranty. This covers manufacturer defects, and if your mattress develops sagging beyond normal wear and tear, you should be covered.
How does the Organica mattress compare to similar mattresses?
Organica vs. WinkBed EcoCloud
The WinkBed EcoCloud is another latex foam hybrid with several organic certifications. Before we tested the Organica Plush, the WinkBed EcoCloud was the softest latex hybrid bed, rating a true medium on our firmness scale. It strikes a nice balance between comfort and support and has the same type of ultrabouncy feel. It's much more affordable than the Organica Plush but a bit more expensive than the base model Organica.
Organica vs. Avocado Green
The Avocado Green mattress is the industry leader for latex beds and features an impressive number of certifications for its materials and production processes. Avocado is also available in different options: base, pillow-top and box pillow-top models. The box pillow-top model is most similar to the Organica Plush as it's soft and designed for side sleepers.
Final thoughts on the Organica mattress
The base model Organica doesn't stand out from the latex foam hybrid crowd in a significant way, but it is a solid all-around choice. It has all the certifications eco-conscious shoppers are looking for: a relatively accommodating firmness profile, the standard latex foam feel, and it's not too expensive.

Dillon Payne/CNET
But with the addition of the Organica Plush option and being so soft -- this is the best option for side sleepers looking for a latex bed. Most latex foam beds are on the firmer end of the spectrum and this is easily the softest latex beds we've tested. So, for side sleepers who want an organic mattress, the Organica Plush is a great decision if it fits your budget.
You might like the Organica mattress if:
You want a bouncy feel
You enjoy a firm mattress
You want an organic mattress
You want a soft mattress
You might not like the Organica mattress if:
You prefer the feel of memory foam
You're shopping on a budget
You want especially firm mattresses
Other mattresses from Amerisleep
Amerisleep AS3: This is Amerisleep's most popular mattress, sitting right in the middle of its AS1-5 lineup in terms of firmness. It should work fairly well for all sleeping positions. It is available in a coil model and a foam model. It now has a cooling cover added at no extra cost. This bed is made with Amerisleep's 'BioPur' memory foam in its main comfort layer, which has virtually the exact opposite type of feel when compared to Organica.
Amerisleep AS6 Black Series: This is Amerisleep's newest bed and one of the most luxurious memory foam beds we've tested. It's packed full of features like an active cooling cover, zoned support and edge support coils, and it comes in three different firmness profiles. It's roughly the same price as the Organica Plush, but thanks to its body-conforming memory foam, it has the exact opposite type of feel.

Man, 40, Reveals the First Sign He Had Esophageal Cancer That His Doctor Dismissed

After three stressful years, Mark Sevillano Jr. felt like his life was falling into place. At the start of 2024, he began working out at the gym three days a week and eating healthier foods. 'I felt better and just when I started feeling better, I … couldn't really swallow my food comfortably,' the 41-year-old from Santa Fe Springs, California, tells 'I felt like it almost would get stuck in my throat.' He'd 'chug' water, and that often helped the food move through his esophagus. After two months, his symptoms worsened, and he visited a doctor, who reluctantly ordered a swallow test for Sevillano. Before he could undergo the exam, he visited the emergency room, where he learned he had esophageal cancer. 'I would have never imagined that I had any cancer, let alone esophageal cancer,' he says. 'I've never even said the word esophagus. It was not on my radar at all.' Transformation Leads to Diagnosis In 2021, Sevillano's 11-year marriage ended in divorce, and the dad of two was stressed. At the same time, he was in college completing his teaching degree. By 2024, he had graduated from college and finally began to feel settled as he regularly attended the gym, ate healthy foods and ran a few 5Ks. ''I'm healing,'' he recalls thinking. 'I was losing a little bit of weight, but I thought it was because of my new lifestyle.' Soon after, his swallowing problems began. At first, drinking a lot of water helped. But after two months, swallowing became even more difficult. 'I would have to literally pound my chest with my fist to help break down the pathway to allow my food to go down,' Sevillano explains. 'That was so odd now that I think back on it. But at the time I thought, 'Oh, I need a little extra help to digest my food.'' His parents urged him to visit his doctor, and after a couple of weeks, he did. But his primary care doctor 'didn't sound too concerned' because Sevillano was young and there was no family history of cancer. Still, Sevillano asked for a swallow test — which his mother, who is a nurse — told him to request. 'He was like, 'We'll schedule a swallow test in the future. I'm not too worried about it,'' Sevillano recalls. 'Looking back on it, I was like, 'Wow, there are so many red flags.'' He scheduled the appointment for several months later. But his swallowing 'got progressively worse.' 'I couldn't even swallow liquid anymore,' he says. 'It would sit in my throat, almost like a drain that is clogged up, and it's filling up with water. You need to unplug the drain. It felt like that.' Sevillano visited the emergency room, and at first, the doctors were 'perplexed' by his swallowing difficulties. But they conducted bloodwork and even had him undergo a CT scan. At about 4 a.m., his blood test results returned. '(The doctor) said, 'Hey, to let you know your bloodwork came back great and the next thing we're waiting on is your scan, and I'm sure that's going to come back great as well,'' Sevillano recalls. Less than an hour later, the doctor returned with a grim look on his face. 'He said, 'Unfortunately, we got your scan back and we found a mass in the center of your chest, in your lower part of your esophagus,'' Sevillano says. At the time, he didn't realize doctors sometimes interchangeably use mass and tumor, so he wasn't too worried. 'If he would have said, 'You have a tumor,' I would have freaked out a little more,'' Sevillano says. He stayed in the hospital to undergo tests, including a biopsy. But when doctors attempted it, they struggled to pass the scope through all the inflammation in his throat. Though they tried a smaller scope, the sample they removed wasn't enough to determine if it was cancerous. Still, they released Sevillano from the hospital, and he ran a 5K two days later. Sevillano's doctors scheduled a second biopsy. But before that happened, he became very ill. '(This) is where I almost died,' he says. As he waited for the new biopsy and maintained a liquid-only diet, Sevillano became tired. 'My body just didn't feel right,' he says. 'I started to feel light-headed, almost as if I'm going to faint.' He rested on the couch and began 'convulsing,' and 'shaking and shivering.' After he put on a coat and a hat to warm himself up, his mom noticed he was too pale. They returned to the emergency room, where doctors diagnosed him with sepsis, a potentially fatal overreaction in the body to infection. 'My body was shutting down, and they had to pump me with any type of antibiotics to fight the infection that was rapidly going through my bloodstream,' Sevillano says. 'For the next four days, I was fighting and trying to get the infection out of my body.' As he began to recover, doctors performed the biopsy, and they diagnosed him with Stage 2 esophageal cancer in June 2024. 'I got thrown into a world of, 'Now you have cancer,'' he says. Doctors quickly came up with a treatment plan, which included four rounds of chemotherapy to shrink the tumor followed by surgery to remove the mass and most of his esophagus, known as an esophagectomy. For the most part, chemotherapy caused exhaustion, brain fog and some neuropathy, but after the fourth round, he 'started actually vomiting black stuff.' 'It was still awful,' he says. 'I took it like a champ. But I think it could have been worse.' Surgery took place in October and was intense. Doctors removed 6 inches of his esophagus, which is about 10 inches long in total, and a strawberry-sized tumor. Doctors used his upper intestine to create a new esophagus connected to his remaining organ. 'I went in with a smile on my face and said, 'OK, let's do this. Let's take this tumor out,'' Sevillano says. 'When I woke up, I had maybe eight tubes in my side, in my face. I was in severe pain.' After recovering in the hospital for several days and undergoing more tests, Sevillano returned home. About a month later, he underwent one more round of chemotherapy. Doctors recommended that he have another three, but he felt overwhelmed by his prior chemotherapy and treatment and elected to stop. Since his surgery, there has been no evidence of disease. He will undergo regular scans for five years. 'I had my six-month check-up scan and that came out with no detection of cancer,' he says. 'I went to the beach and celebrated six months of being cancer-free.' An Increase in GI Cancers in Young People Sevillano is part of a trend of more young people being diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers, which include colorectal, stomach, pancreatic and esophageal cancers. These diagnoses are increasing faster than any other type of cancer in adults under 50, according to a new review published in JAMA, some of the most extensive research on the trend to date. Colorectal cancer cases in young people have increased the most, but pancreatic, stomach and esophageal cancer diagnoses are also on the rise. The latter three do not have a screening test like colorectal cancer does, making them harder to diagnose early. More research is still needed to fully understand what's causing the increase, but it's likely multiple factors, experts told NBC News. The recent review suggests a link between lifestyle factors — such as obesity, being inactive, poor diet, smoking and drinking alcohol — and most of the GI cancer cases in people under 50. Exposure to certain habits before adulthood likely plays a role. 'It's really what people were doing or exposed to when they were infants, children, adolescents that is probably contributing to their risk of developing cancer as an adult," Dr. Kimmie Ng, co-author of the paper and director of the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, told NBC News. Genetic predispositions to cancer — such as inherited conditions, like Lynch syndrome — also contribute to 15-30% of diagnoses of young-onset gastrointestinal cancers, the review found. 'We do recommend that all young patients diagnosed under the age of 50 undergo testing for hereditary conditions,' Ng said. The new research also suggests that young people diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers face poorer outcomes than people diagnosed later in life. Experts say that could be because doctors downplay young people's symptoms because they're not considering GI cancers in this age group, much like Sevillano experienced. 'My personal feeing is that it's because we're finding them at a more advanced stage because people don't really think of colon or other GI cancers when they see a young person with these nonspecific complaints,' Dr. Howard Hochster, director of gastrointestinal oncology at Rutgers Cancer Institute and RWJBarnabas Health in New Jersey, told NBC News. However, it's also possible that GI cancers in younger people 'may be biologically different and more aggressive," Ng said. One thing that is clear from the new research? The importance of people following screening guidelines for colorectal cancer based on their individual risk level, and the need for better screening for other GI cancers, Ng added. 'My Spirit is Not Broken' After so many months of not being able to eat normally, Sevillano still struggles with getting enough nutrition. He's been eating 'mini meals' throughout the day, which reduces the stress on his GI tract. 'I'm still underweight,' he says. 'I was 195 at 5 feet 10 inches, nice and healthy and strong. Now I weigh 138 pounds. My arms are like twigs.' The doctor told him complete recovery could take several years. 'It's going to take some time for me to reach a healthy weight again and create some muscle and strength,' he says. Sevillano says he hopes that others learn the importance of advocating for their health and urges them to get second opinions if they feel as if their doctor isn't addressing their symptoms. 'Don't wait like I did,' he says. 'If something is wrong with your body, do not ignore it, but act on it right away.' Despite all the difficulties he faced, Sevillano feels like he's in a good place. 'My heart has been through a lot, and I learned that the human capacity for pain and tragedy (means) we can endure a lot and keep going forward. I'd like to be that example to other people,' he says. 'I'm still a happy, positive person. I love life and my spirit is not broken.' This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword
