Affiliate Disclosure
How Nappedia handles affiliate relationships and why our editorial content remains independent regardless of commercial partnerships.
Our Commitment
Nappedia's scores and editorial content are never influenced by affiliate relationships. The SleepPrint methodology is applied identically whether or not a brand has an affiliate program. Every mattress is evaluated using the same 12-category weighted system, the same evidence standards, and the same editorial review process.
A brand's affiliate status has zero bearing on its score, ranking, recommendation, or any editorial commentary. Our readers deserve honest assessments, and that commitment is non-negotiable.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you click certain links on Nappedia that take you to a retailer or brand website and make a purchase, Nappedia may earn a small commission from that sale. This is a standard practice across online publishing and is how many independent sites fund their operations.
Importantly, this costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive at the retailer through our link or navigate there directly. Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, not the buyer.
How We Disclose
Every page on Nappedia that contains affiliate links displays a visible disclosure banner near the top of the page. This banner clearly states that the page contains affiliate links and explains that they do not affect our editorial content or scores.
In addition, all affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored" in their HTML markup, following Google's webmaster guidelines for identifying paid or commercial links. This ensures full transparency for both readers and search engines.
What Doesn't Change
Regardless of any affiliate relationship, the following are never influenced by commercial considerations:
- SleepPrint scores — Every score is generated through our public methodology with cited evidence. No score is adjusted for affiliate status.
- Pros and cons — We report genuine strengths and weaknesses based on research and verified data.
- Recommendations — Our mattress quiz and buying guide recommend products based on sleeper profile fit, not commercial relationships.
- Editorial commentary — Reviews, analysis, and opinions reflect the editorial team's honest assessment.
A brand paying a higher commission will never receive a higher score. Period.
Current Status
Nappedia does not currently have active affiliate partnerships. This disclosure page and the associated infrastructure are in place proactively so that when affiliate partnerships do begin, the transparency framework is already established and visible to readers from day one.
When affiliate partnerships are activated, this page will be updated to list active partners and any relevant details about those relationships.
