Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2025

Mattress Reviews Ireland ("we", "us", or "our") believes in full transparency with our readers. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn money through our website mattressreviews.ie (the "Site") and how this may affect the content we produce.

We want you to make informed decisions, which is why we're upfront about our business model and the relationships we have with the companies whose products we review.

How We Earn Money

Mattress Reviews Ireland is an affiliate website. This means we earn commissions when you click on certain links on our Site and make a purchase from a third-party retailer. These are called "affiliate links."

Here's how it works:

  • We research and review mattresses, pillows, bedding, and sleep-related products
  • We include links to retailers where you can purchase these products
  • When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer
  • This commission comes from the retailer, not from you — you pay the same price whether you use our link or not

This affiliate revenue is what allows us to operate this website, conduct research, and provide free content to help Irish consumers make better purchasing decisions.

Our Editorial Independence

While we do earn commissions from affiliate links, we want to be absolutely clear: our editorial content is independent of our affiliate relationships.

Here's what this means in practice:

  • We don't accept payment for reviews: Companies cannot pay us to write positive reviews or to be included in our content
  • We review products we believe are worth considering: Our recommendations are based on research, not on which products pay the highest commissions
  • We highlight both pros and cons: Every product has strengths and weaknesses, and we aim to present both honestly
  • We include non-affiliate products: If a product is worth recommending but doesn't have an affiliate programme, we'll still include it
  • Commission rates don't influence rankings: A product that pays a higher commission won't rank higher simply because of that

Our reputation depends on providing honest, helpful information. If we only recommended products based on commission rates, we would lose your trust — and rightly so.

How We Choose Products to Review

Our product selection and review process is based on the following criteria:

  • Relevance to Irish consumers: We focus on products that are available in Ireland and deliver to Irish addresses
  • Quality and value: We look for products that offer good quality at fair prices across different budget ranges
  • Consumer interest: We prioritise products that our readers are searching for and asking about
  • Brand reputation: We consider the track record of manufacturers, including customer service and warranty support
  • Research and testing: Where possible, we conduct hands-on testing or rely on extensive research from verified sources

Our Affiliate Partnerships

We work with various affiliate programmes and networks to monetise our content. These partnerships may include:

  • Direct affiliate programmes with mattress and bedding brands
  • Affiliate networks that represent multiple retailers
  • E-commerce platforms that sell mattresses and sleep products

The specific companies we partner with may change over time as we add new content and as affiliate programmes evolve.

Identifying Affiliate Links

In the interest of transparency, we want you to know when you're clicking on an affiliate link. While it's not always practical to label every single link, you should assume that:

  • Links to product pages on retailer websites are likely affiliate links
  • "Buy Now", "Check Price", "View Deal", and similar buttons typically lead to affiliate links
  • Links within product reviews and buying guides are typically affiliate links

If you prefer not to use our affiliate links, you can always search for the product directly on the retailer's website. We still appreciate you reading our content!

Price Accuracy and Availability

We make every effort to display accurate and up-to-date pricing information on our Site. However, please note:

  • Prices can change at any time and may differ from what's shown on our Site
  • Product availability may vary and items may sell out
  • Special offers, sales, and discount codes may expire without notice
  • Shipping costs and delivery times are determined by the retailer, not by us

We recommend always checking the final price on the retailer's website before completing a purchase.

Your Purchases Support Our Work

When you make a purchase through our affiliate links, you're directly supporting Mattress Reviews Ireland. This support allows us to:

  • Continue providing free, independent mattress reviews and buying guides
  • Keep our content updated with new products and current information
  • Maintain and improve our website
  • Research and test new products

We genuinely appreciate every reader who supports us in this way. Thank you for helping us help others find better sleep.

Third-Party Websites

When you click on an affiliate link, you'll be taken to a third-party website. Please note:

  • We are not responsible for the content, products, or services on third-party websites
  • Your purchases are made directly with the retailer, not with us
  • Any issues with orders, returns, or customer service should be directed to the retailer
  • Third-party websites have their own privacy policies and terms of service

We encourage you to review the terms and policies of any website before making a purchase.

EU and Irish Consumer Protection

This disclosure is provided in accordance with EU consumer protection regulations and the Consumer Rights Directive, which require clear disclosure of commercial relationships that may influence content.

As a consumer in Ireland and the EU, you benefit from strong consumer protection laws when making purchases from retailers. These rights include:

  • A 14-day cooling-off period for online purchases
  • Protection against unfair commercial practices
  • Rights regarding faulty products and guarantees

For more information about your consumer rights, visit the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC).

Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate relationships or to comply with legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
