Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: December 2025
Summary
Sleep Blueprint reviews sleep-related products to help readers make informed purchasing decisions. Creating thoroughly researched articles takes considerable time and resources, so the website uses affiliate partnerships to generate income.
When you click certain links on this website and make a purchase, Sleep Blueprint may earn a commission. These are called affiliate links, and they are used by websites across the internet as a way to fund content creation.
Not every link on this website is an affiliate link. Links to research papers, medical journals, NHS resources, and other informational sources do not generate any commission.
For full transparency, every article containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice at the top of the page.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, Sleep Blueprint earns from qualifying purchases made through links to Amazon.co.uk.
How Affiliate Links Work
Each affiliate link contains a tracking code unique to Sleep Blueprint. When you click a link and make a purchase, the retailer knows to attribute that sale to this website and pays a commission accordingly.
Commission rates vary by retailer and product category, typically ranging from 1% to 20%. Sleep Blueprint has no control over these rates.
Using an affiliate link does not affect the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget, not from an additional charge to you.
Some retailers manage their affiliate programmes directly, while others use third-party networks. This explains why you may briefly see an intermediary website address when clicking certain links before arriving at the retailer’s site.
If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can navigate directly to a retailer’s website by typing their address into your browser.
Why Affiliate Links Instead of Advertisements
Many websites generate revenue through display advertising: banners, pop-ups, and sidebar placements that interrupt the reading experience.
Sleep Blueprint does not use display advertising. Affiliate partnerships allow the website to remain free of intrusive ads while still funding the research and writing that goes into each article.
Editorial Independence
The existence of affiliate commissions creates an obvious conflict of interest. Sleep Blueprint addresses this through a clear separation between informational content and commercial content.
Informational articles covering sleep science, health, and general guidance contain no affiliate links. These articles exist solely to provide accurate, evidence-based information.
Product reviews and buying guides are explicitly commercial content. They are clearly labelled as such and include affiliate disclosure notices. Within these articles, Sleep Blueprint maintains editorial independence by refusing paid placements, sponsored rankings, or editorial control by manufacturers.
Products are assessed on their merits. A higher commission rate does not influence a product’s ranking or recommendation status.
A Note About Our Editorial Voice
Sleep Blueprint’s content is presented through Sophie Morgan, an editorial persona who curates and presents sleep research and product information. Sophie represents the voice and perspective of the website rather than a specific individual author.
This approach allows Sleep Blueprint to maintain a consistent, relatable editorial voice while being transparent that the content is produced for an affiliate marketing website. The research, recommendations, and opinions presented reflect genuine analysis of available evidence and products, regardless of the editorial format used to present them.
This disclosure is made in accordance with UK Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, CMA guidance on online endorsements, and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Your Choice
Using affiliate links is entirely optional. If you find Sleep Blueprint’s content helpful and wish to support the website, using the provided links is appreciated. If you would rather not, you are welcome to navigate to retailers directly.
Either way, the goal remains the same: to provide accurate, useful information that helps you make better decisions about sleep.
