How We Review

This page explains how the RestSage Team researches, writes, checks and corrects every review and guide on RestSage. If a page does not follow these rules, tell us and we will fix it.

Two kinds of review, always labeled

• Research review. We have not used the product. We read the seller's product page, terms of sale, shipping and return policy, and the checkout up to the payment step. We check public ratings and complaint records, such as Trustpilot, and independent press coverage. A research review never says "we tested" or describes how the product feels.
• Hands-on review. We bought the product with our own money, through the regular store and not through our own affiliate link, and used it ourselves. Anything we say about comfort, smell, firmness or wear comes from that use, with the dates.

The label sits at the top of every review. If a research review later becomes hands-on, we say so and update the date.

How a verdict is written

We do not hand out star scores. Every review ends with the same three-part verdict: who the product fits, who it does not fit, and what to watch for when you order (add-ons, subscriptions, return conditions, who pays return shipping). The same questions are asked of every product, so verdicts can be compared.

Sources and numbers

• We cite only sources we opened and read, and we link to them.
• Prices, ratings and policies change. Each one is marked with the date we checked it, and we check again before publishing.
• If we cannot confirm something, we say so instead of guessing.

What we never do

• Claim that a pillow cures, treats or relieves a medical condition, such as sleep apnea, chronic pain or snoring.
• Call a product "doctor approved" or "orthopedic" without proof we can link to.
• Publish invented testimonials, names, before-and-after photos or ratings.
• Use fake urgency ("only today", countdown timers) or show an inflated "regular price" as if it were real.
• Pretend to be the official site of any brand.

Health topics

We write about comfort, fit and buying decisions, not medicine. When a topic touches health, we keep to what reputable public health sources say and point readers to a doctor for symptoms.

Use of AI tools

We use AI writing tools to help draft and organize pages. A person checks every claim against its source, edits the text and approves it before publication. AI tools never decide a verdict.

Money and independence

Some links earn us a commission, explained in our affiliate disclosure. Sellers cannot pay for a review, a better verdict or the removal of criticism. If we ever receive a free product, the review will say so.

Corrections

Email contact@restsage.com or use the contact form with the page and the problem. We check every report within 3 business days. When we fix a factual error, we add a short correction note with the date at the end of the page.
