How we test

Every product we recommend is bought or supplied for review and tested in a normal bedroom, not a lab. Here is exactly how a product earns a place in our guides.

1. Selection

We buy the models readers actually ask about, plus any budget or specialist options that fill a real gap. Sponsored placement does not buy a ranking.

2. Testing period

We sleep on each product for a minimum of two weeks. Longer for anything claiming a health benefit.

3. Scoring

Products are scored on support, breathability, durability, cleaning, and value. Weights differ by category, and we publish the reasoning behind every score.

4. Updates

We re-check each guide at least twice a year. Prices and availability are verified at publish time; if a product changes or is discontinued, the article is updated or the pick is replaced.

5. Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change. Email us and we will look.

How we make money

We earn a commission when you buy through some links. That is what pays for the testing. It never changes a score, and every commercial link is disclosed.
