About
In July 2017, we acquired Sleepopolis.com. Casper provided financial support to allow us to acquire Sleepopolis. Derek Hales and Samantha Hales are no longer associated with Sleepopolis.com. We maintain an affiliate relationship with some of the products reviewed as well, which means we get a percentage of a sale if you click over from our site (at no cost to our readers).
Greetings! My name is Derek, founder and author of Sleepopolis. Like most people, I know first hand just how painful the mattress shopping experience can be. It’s a quagmire of subtle mattress differences, aggressive salesmen, and an overall confusing and intimidating buyer’s experience. I hated it.
I created Sleepopolis as an alternative to the old school way of shopping for mattresses in specialty or department stores.
The Sleepopolis mission is simple. It’s my goal to help Sleepopolis readers discover, research, and select mattresses and other sleep products that meet their needs, desires, and budget.
I aim to provide only the best reviews for the best products. You won’t find many bad products on Sleepopolis, quite frankly because I refuse to give these products any more exposure. Every product I review has been personally analyzed, researched, and tested by myself and/or other members of Team Sleepopolis. I only want the best for myself, and I want to help you find the best mattress also.
Meet the Team
Derek
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
My name is Derek, founder and editor of Sleepopolis. I launched Sleepopolis in September of 2014 to help my readers discover, research, and select the mattress that’s perfect for them. Over the last 2.5 years I’ve tested over 100 different mattresses and dozens of sheets, pillows, and other bedding accessories.

Chris is my cousin and the right hand of everything Sleepopolis. Chris helps research and write many Sleepopolis reviews and guides. Additionally, he’s the master behind the camera for all of the photographs and videos we shoot. His perspective and insights help to round out the Sleepopolis testing philosophy.
Kayla
Reviewer & Designer
Kayla is my sister and helps make sure Sleepopolis always looks visually beautiful. She creates most of the graphics, visuals, and other designs you see around the site, on our YouTube channel, and our other social media. Additionally, she helps test and review many pillows, sheets, protectors, and other bedding accessories.
