How we make money from product links, and the rules we hold ourselves to.
SleepOriginal earns commission when you buy through some of our product links. We think you should understand exactly how that works, so here it is in plain terms.
As an Amazon Associate, SleepOriginal earns from qualifying purchases. Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
How affiliate links work
When you click certain product links and go on to buy, the retailer credits us with a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be had you gone to the retailer directly. You are never charged extra, and you never pay a premium for using our link.
On this site, product recommendations inside articles link to our own product pages rather than straight to a retailer. The retailer link sits on that product page, so you always get our full write-up — including who a product is not right for — before you leave.
How we choose what to recommend
Commission rates play no part in what we recommend or how we rank products. Our editorial process works to a few fixed rules:
- Behaviour and environment come first. Where a free change — a consistent wake time, morning daylight, a cooler room — would help more than a purchase, we say so, and we say it before we mention any product.
- Every recommendation states who it suits and who should skip it.
- We describe products from their documented design and specifications. Where we have not tested something ourselves, we do not claim to have.
- We do not accept payment for a favourable review, for a ranking position, or for inclusion in a comparison.
- No product is presented as treating, curing or diagnosing any condition, because none of them do.
Programmes we participate in
SleepOriginal is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and comparable affiliate programmes, designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated sites. We may join further programmes and will keep this page current.
Prices and availability
Prices, availability and product specifications change frequently and are set entirely by the retailer, not by us. Any price we mention is indicative and correct only at the time of writing. Always check the current price and details on the retailer's own page before buying.
Your purchase is with the retailer
When you buy a third-party product you buy it from that retailer, not from us. Delivery, returns, warranty and customer service are theirs. Our own digital guides are a separate matter and are covered by our Refund Policy.
Where you will see this disclosed
We show a clear disclosure before the first affiliate recommendation in any article that contains one, and on product pages that carry affiliate links. We do not hide disclosures behind a link, below the fold, or in small print at the very bottom of a page.
