How we make money

Affiliate commissions

Most links to products on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the retailer pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay exactly the same price either way — the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.

We are an Amazon Associate, which means we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links. We also work, or intend to work, with specialist CPAP retailers whose commission rates are considerably higher than Amazon's. That creates an obvious temptation, which brings us to the next section.

The rules we hold ourselves to

1. Nobody can buy a recommendation. We do not accept payment, product, or placement fees in exchange for a ranking, a review, or a mention. If that ever changes, this page changes first and the disclosure goes at the top of the article, not down here.
2. The best answer wins, even when it pays nothing. Plenty of the right answers in this niche earn us zero — "ask your DME for a different cushion size", "your insurance already covers this", "you don't need that gadget". Those answers stay in.
3. We label paid links where you see them. Not just in the footer. There is a notice at the top of any article containing paid links, and another next to every buy button.
4. We don't print prices we can't verify. Prices move constantly and stale numbers mislead people, so we send you to the retailer to see the real one.
5. We separate what the evidence says from what we think. Clinical claims are numbered and linked to the source. Opinion is written as opinion.

Advertising

We may run display advertising. Advertisers have no input into editorial content and no advance notice of what we publish. If we ever run a sponsored post — we currently do not — it will be labelled as one, clearly, at the top.

Lead referrals

Some suppliers pay for a referral when a reader asks them to check what their insurance covers, whether or not the reader ends up buying anything. Where a link works that way, we say so on the link itself. We will not send you to a supplier we would not use.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your email address or personal information. Ever.
• We do not run legal or mass-tort lead generation.
• We do not write fake first-person reviews of products nobody here has used.
• We do not use AI-generated medical claims without checking them against a real source.
