Getting a good night’s sleep shouldn’t feel like a chore. We’re here to help you find a great mattress, the perfect pillow, and all the dreamy Zzz’s in between.
Our mission is a simple one: We want to help you get incredible sleep. How? Two main ways: First, we live, breathe, eat, and sleep (ha!)…sleep. We sift through the noise of the Internet to bring you the sleep health information you need to know, whether that’s a news piece on the latest sleep product recall or a deep dive into what the science says about meditation for sleep.
Second: We test everything. Mattresses, pillows, sleep masks, weighted blankets…you name it, we’ve personally tested it in our studios and labs. We’re honest about the good, the bad, and everything in between in every single one of our reviews, roundups, or comparisons, and we tailor our recommendations as specifically as possible (are you a combination side sleeper with neck pain looking for a new pillow? We have just the pillow for you). If we recommend it, rest easy knowing we’ve put it through a detailed testing process. We do earn commissions from affiliate links, but that doesn’t impact the editorial integrity of our product content. Learn more about our testing methodology and process here.
The Sleepopolis team takes incredible pride in the work we do. We hope that the reviews, news, and sleep information we publish help you get a better night’s sleep. And though the job is fun – it’s not all naps! We love creating content that you enjoy, whether it’s on our site or a video on our YouTube page. Speaking of the team…
Hi everyone! I'm Alanna, the head of content at Sleepopolis. I oversee the content and brand strategy and lead the team that creates best-in-class sleep health, news, and product reviews.
How I Sleep: All over the place – While I start out sleeping on my side, I often wake up to find myself sprawled out on my stomach (to the annoyance of my husband and dog!).
Pro Tip: Put your phone down or avoid screens for an hour before bed to get a better night's sleep (I know, I know, but it really works).
Hi, friends! I'm Bridget, a Certified Sleep Science Coach and your senior editor here at Sleepopolis. From testing mattresses to writing about various sleep health topics, my goal is to help you get a good night's sleep. You can also find me in videos on our YouTube channel!
How I Sleep: I'm a combo sleeper, switching between sleeping on my side and back. I love a soft, yet supportive mattress.
Pro Tip: Keep the bedroom dark and cool at night to help reach your deepest sleep.
Howdy! I'm Amelia and I'm a staff writer for Sleepopolis with a focus on accessories, such as pillows, blankets, mattress toppers, and more. I love to sleep and I hope to help you all find the rights products to create your perfect sleep environment. You can find my reviews here on Sleepopolis, as well as over on our YouTube channel!
How I Sleep: Usually I'm a back sleeper, and occasionally a side sleeper. I like a mattress I can sink into a bit, but that provides lots of support.
Pro Tip: Scrolling through TikTok in bed is not conducive to good sleep! (I can admit, I'm guilty of this one.)
Hey there! I'm Rachel, Sleepopolis's senior video editor. I edit and create motion graphics for all the videos on our Youtube channel.
How I Sleep: I’m a side combo sleeper with a love for latex. Pro Tip: Learn how to fold a fitted sheet! It's a game-changer for organizing your extra bedding.
