Advertising and affiliate disclosure

How Nappedia makes money

Nappedia is funded by affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a clearly labeled paid link and makes a purchase, the publisher may earn a commission from the merchant. Reading the research is free. Using a labeled link does not change the price you pay — the commission comes out of the merchant’s side.

The relationship, stated plainly

Our footer says it; this page says it longer: The publisher has an affiliate relationship with Saatva and may earn a commission from clearly labeled paid links. Current product and citation links are not tracked. No relationship changes our criteria.

As of the review date above, that is the publisher’s affiliate relationship in full — Saatva products, served through the Partnerize affiliate network.

How paid links are labeled

• Paid links are labeled close to the link, in plain language.
• They carry sponsored relationship attributes and route through redirect paths (such as `/go/...`) so the network can credit the referral.
• Ordinary product and citation links on research pages are plain, untracked links, and the site labels them that way.

What is not for sale

• Placement. A labeled link cannot buy a position in a comparison. A non-affiliate mattress can lead one.
• Scores. The published review score is a median of matched expert ratings, computed by a fixed method described at /methodology. Commission size is not a research field.
• Verdicts. Negative supported findings are not deleted for a merchant. Affiliate availability cannot change a factual finding.

Gifts, samples, and free products

[GIFT/SAMPLE POLICY - TBD]. We are finalizing our written policy on accepting reviewer samples or free products; when published, it will appear here and in the editorial policy. Until then, nothing on this site is described as based on hands-on use.

Alignment with FTC guidance

Our disclosure approach follows the FTC’s Endorsement Guides and related guidance cited in the editorial policy. Questions about any labeled link go through the contact page.

Document research is never presented as personal sleeping experience. We do not publish hands-on testing, so no amount of funding can buy a “we slept on it” claim.
