Affiliate disclosure.
SleepyHero earns affiliate commissions on some products we recommend. We say so under the price table on every product page, in the footer of every page, and in full below. What a retailer pays us does not decide our scores or what we recommend.
The short version
When you click an affiliate link on this site and buy the product, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you. The price is the same whether you click through us or go directly to the retailer.
As an Amazon Associate, SleepyHero earns from qualifying purchases. Three retailers pay us today: Amazon, Layla and Promeed (table below). A buy button that goes to any other retailer earns us nothing.
We are not paid to write favourable reviews. No brand pays for a review, a score or a place in a list. A product that pays us nothing can score higher than one that pays us.
How scores stay independent
Three structural protections:
- The same yardstick for every product.Each product gets an editor's score out of 10. Almost every product page also breaks the score down on a few points, and in nearly every category those points are the same for every product (for pillows: support, cooling, durability, adjustability and value). What a retailer pays us is not one of them.
- Editor credit. Every review carries a credit for the credentialed editor (Logan Foley CSSC for adult sleep, Marie Hansen PSC for pediatric). No page has completed reviewer sign-off yet. Editors are not paid by affiliate relationships.
- What the verdicts rest on.Every review is a synthesis of published specifications, published research and what owners report. We have not run a testing program, and we never claim to have tested a product. We do not take a brand's marketing claims as evidence.
Retailers that pay us
| Brand | Network | Rate | Categories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Amazon | Varies by product category | Most products on the site |
| Layla Sleep | Impact | 20% | Layla mattresses, Layla kapok pillow |
| Promeed | Impact | 12% | Promeed silk pillowcase |
Rates are set by each retailer and can change. Some run promotional periods with different rates.
Amazon prices
Amazon prices on this site come from Amazon's own product data service for Associates. We do not copy them from Amazon's pages. They are refreshed twice a day, and every Amazon price is shown with the date and time (in UTC) at which Amazon gave it to us. A price more than 24 hours old is not shown at all: the page says “Check price” instead until the next refresh. Prices from other retailers are checked by hand and show the date of that check.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon.com at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON. THIS CONTENT IS PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR REMOVAL AT ANY TIME.
What about reviews of products without an affiliate program?
We cover products whether or not they pay us. Most brands on the site have no program with us, so on their products we earn only when the buy button goes to Amazon. We do not raise a score because a product pays us, or lower one because it does not.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). A short notice sits under the price table on every product page, the footer of every page says who pays us and links here, and this page is the full version. If you have questions about our compliance, email us at info@sleepyhero.com.
Updates
This disclosure was last updated on 12 October 2026. We update it whenever a retailer starts or stops paying us.
