How We Earn Compensation
Commission Structure
We earn a small commission (typically 1-10% of the purchase price) when you make a purchase through our affiliate links. This commission comes from the retailer, not from you.
Example:
If you purchase a $50 pillow through our Amazon link, you still pay $50. Amazon pays us a small commission (around $2-5) for referring you to their site.
What We Do NOT Do
- Inflate prices for commission
- Recommend products solely for higher commissions
- Hide our affiliate relationships
What We DO
- Clearly disclose affiliate relationships
- Provide honest, unbiased reviews
- Research products thoroughly
