Our Review Process

Our goal is to provide in-depth information about each product to help users make the best decision possible.

Our team of professional writers takes an unbiased approach to rigorously researching and thoroughly evaluating all of the products and services included on the MattressAuthority.org to develop our reviews, comparisons, guides, and articles.

Our content is generated through rigorous research of each brand’s website, consumer resource sites, other reviews, research, data, and any relevant scientific studies. We often have our researchers personally test experience each item as well.

Our experts determine product rankings by extensively comparing and analyzing each brand we review. We look at both the criteria consumers need to know, like pricing and product benefits, as well as criteria that are more subjective, like features and performance, to determine rankings. Subject matter experts often test the products and services included in our reviews and rankings, which helps them assess both the consumer experience as well as real-life performance.

We use standard criteria for each category that help us evaluate each product or service, and we use these same criteria across all the brands we review. You’ll see several very similar tables, bulleted lists, and review sections across our content. We write our reviews based on the performance of each brand within the different criteria.

Our writers are expert communicators and critical thinkers. They are completely independent, and while they are paid for their time, they do not receive any compensation from the companies they review. Ethics matter, and we want each of the reviews you read to be unbiased, fact-driven, and honest, so we keep our writing teams separate from all other parts of MattressAuthority.org.
