Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our reviews and recommendations.
Every product we recommend is personally tested for a minimum of 30 nights. We track sleep quality using multiple sleep trackers, document our experiences daily, and compare results against control periods. We also collect feedback from readers who purchase based on our recommendations to validate our findings.
Never. We earn money through Amazon affiliate commissions when readers purchase products we recommend. This means we only make money when you're happy with your purchase. Brands can send products for testing, but they cannot pay for positive reviews or influence our ratings in any way.
All our guides are reviewed and updated quarterly. When new products enter the market or existing products are updated, we test them and revise our recommendations accordingly. We also update based on long-term reader feedback to ensure our recommendations hold up over time.
We've been testing sleep products for over 5 years with a consistent methodology. Our recommendations are backed by sleep science research and real-world testing. We prioritize your sleep quality over affiliate commissions — that's why we often recommend affordable products over expensive ones when they perform better.
Sleep is personal, and what works for most people might not work for you. That's why we always recommend purchasing from retailers with good return policies. Most products we recommend through Amazon have 30-day return windows. We also note in our reviews when a product might not suit certain sleep styles or conditions.
Absolutely! We love hearing from our readers. Reach out to us via Instagram @sleepwise.reviews with your product suggestions. We prioritize testing products that our readers are curious about, especially if multiple people request the same item.
