Honest disclosure

The Way We Sleep participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click an affiliate link on our Site and then purchase a product or service.

This disclosure is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and similar consumer protection authorities. We take it seriously.

Affiliate programs we participate in

  • Amazon Associates Program
  • ShareASale (various sleep and wellness brands)
  • Impact (various sleep brands)
  • Direct affiliate programs with mattress and sleep product brands

This list updates as our affiliate partnerships change.

How affiliate links work

  1. You click an affiliate link on our Site
  2. You’re taken to the partner’s website (Amazon, the brand, etc.)
  3. A cookie may be placed in your browser to track that you came from us
  4. If you buy something within the tracking window, we earn a small commission
  5. This commission costs you nothing extra your price is the same whether you use our link or not

How we choose products to feature

Our reviewer Daniel Foster, with input from our wider editorial team, chooses products based on:

  • Safety (alignment with current safety standards)
  • Quality and durability
  • Real user reviews and feedback
  • Value for money
  • Whether we’d recommend it to a friend

We do not feature products solely because they pay high commissions. If a better product exists without an affiliate program, we’ll still mention it and link to where you can buy it.

What we will never do

  • Accept payment in exchange for positive reviews
  • Hide negative information about a product because we earn commission
  • Mark a product as “best” or “recommended” if it isn’t
  • Use deceptive language or fake urgency to push purchases
  • Recommend products our reviewers wouldn’t personally use

How affiliate revenue is used

Affiliate commissions help us:

  • Pay our writers fairly
  • Maintain the Site (hosting, security, updates)
  • Keep content free for readers
  • Continue researching and updating our guides

Your choice

Using our affiliate links is optional. If you’d rather not support us this way, you can:

  • Search for the product directly on Amazon or the retailer’s site
  • Buy from a different retailer
  • Share our content with someone who’d find it useful (the best support of all)
  • Disable affiliate cookies in your browser settings

None of these affect the content you see on the Site.

FTC compliance notice

In compliance with FTC guidelines on endorsements:

  • Any product described as something we use, recommend, or have tested has been genuinely evaluated
  • Product specifications and prices change always verify on the retailer’s site before purchasing
  • Sponsored content, if any, will be clearly labeled “Sponsored” at the top of the article (we do not currently accept sponsored content)
