Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: December 11, 2025
SleepGearLab is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you.
How We Make Money
SleepGearLab participates in various affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases
- Direct brand partnerships: Some brands offer affiliate programs directly
- Other affiliate networks: We work with various affiliate networks
Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our reviews or recommendations. Here's how we maintain editorial integrity:
- We purchase products ourselves: We buy the products we test with our own money
- Honest reviews: We report both pros and cons of every product
- No pay-for-play: We never accept payment for positive reviews
- Independent testing: Our testing methodology is consistent for all products
- Recommendations based on merit: We recommend products because they're good, not because they pay well
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, the retailer knows you came from SleepGearLab and pays us a small commission. This happens through special tracking links that contain our affiliate ID.
Important: You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a quality review site requires significant resources:
- Purchasing products for testing (often hundreds of dollars per review)
- Paying our expert team of reviewers and editors
- Hosting, development, and site maintenance
- Research and fact-checking
Affiliate commissions help us continue providing free, in-depth content to help you sleep better.
