I started this site because mattress shopping was one of the most frustrating purchases I’d ever made. Not because there wasn’t enough information — there’s too much of it. Every review site had a top pick. Every top pick was a sponsored partner. Every article was “comprehensive” and “in-depth” and yet somehow said nothing specific. I bought a mattress I hated, kept it for two years because the return window had closed, and decided that the next time I went through this, I was going to actually track the data.
GetMattressDeals exists to be the site I wished had existed when I was shopping. Real testing, real price tracking, and honest opinions — including when something I’m recommending has a real limitation.
How I test
Every mattress on this site has been personally evaluated — not for a single night in a showroom, but for at least 30 nights in a real sleep environment. I track how it feels in week one versus week four, whether off-gassing dissipates quickly, how edge support holds up over time, and whether the firmness matches what the brand claims. I also note things that don’t show up in marketing: whether the mattress makes noise when you move, how long it takes to fully expand from the box, whether the cover is as easy to clean as they claim.
For pricing, I use a tracker that logs prices daily across all major brands. “Sales” in the mattress industry are often manufactured — a price artificially inflated two weeks before a holiday and brought back down isn’t a discount. I only post deals when the numbers back up the claim.
On affiliate commissions
I earn a commission when you click a link and buy a mattress. That’s how this site pays for itself. I want to be direct about this because the way most sites handle disclosure is dishonest — the asterisk in tiny gray text, or the generic “this post may contain affiliate links” that says nothing meaningful.
Here’s what it actually means for you: the price you pay is the same whether you click my link or go directly to the brand’s site. I get a percentage of the sale from the retailer, not from you. And the commission rate is similar across most brands I cover — I’m not recommending Saatva over Nectar because one pays better. The rates are comparable. If a brand paid me specifically to feature them above competitors, I’d tell you. They don’t. My recommendations are based on what I’ve tested and what I think is genuinely good for the money.
