Affiliate disclaimer and transparency

Site policy

Last updated 19 July 2026

WantMattress is free to read and funded by commission. When you click through to a retailer from this site and buy something, that retailer may pay us a percentage of the sale. The price you pay does not change.

This page sets out how that works: where the money comes from, how we keep it away from our reviews and rankings, where disclosures appear, and the legal terms that cover your use of the site.

How we make money

The commercial model is simple, and it works the same way on every page.

Commission on purchases

Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you buy after clicking one, the retailer pays us a percentage of what you spend.

No extra cost to you

Commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket. You pay the same price you would pay arriving at their site directly.

Reader-supported

That commission funds everything here, which keeps the site free to read with no paywall and no subscription.

Our affiliate partners are the UK mattress brands and retailers we cover.

Pages that carry affiliate links are labelled. The standard wording you will see is: “We work with retailers to secure the best deals, outgoing links are monetised”.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships pay for the site; they do not decide what it says. Commission rates play no part in which products we feature, the scores they receive, or the order they appear in.

You can check that claim rather than take it on trust. The method behind our scores is published at how we test, and our brand reliability report ignores anything hosted on this site: its numbers come only from what shoppers wrote where they bought, so we cannot put a thumb on the scale.

The people writing our reviews are on our about page.

Where you will see disclosures

We follow Advertising Standards Authority rules on making paid-for and affiliate content identifiable. Disclosures sit close to the links they describe, or at the top of the content they apply to, written in plain English rather than tucked into a footer.

If you find a page where the labelling is missing or unclear, or an affiliate link that no longer works, the fastest way to get it fixed is the contact page.

The legal terms

The formal terms below apply to everything on WantMattress.com.

Information, not advice

Content on this site is offered in good faith for general information. We work to keep it accurate and current, but we make no guarantees, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy or reliability of anything published here, and anything you do on the strength of it is at your own risk.
External links

We link to outside sites we consider useful, including retailers, but we have no control over their content, policies or availability, and a link is not an endorsement. Once you leave our domain, the destination site's own terms and privacy policy apply.
No warranty, limited liability

The site is provided without warranties of any kind, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from use of this site or of any site we link to, even where we have been advised such damages are possible.
Acceptance

Using WantMattress.com means you accept this disclaimer and affiliate disclosure. Continued use counts as acceptance of the current version.
Changes to this page

We revise this page when our practices change, and every revision updates the date shown at the top. The version published here is always the one in force.
