Overview
This Editorial Policy governs the creation, review, publication, and maintenance of all content on SnoreZing.com - the SnoreZing Sleep Foundation. It applies to every article, product review, guide, comparison, and resource we publish, without exception.
We wrote this policy for one reason: you deserve to know exactly how we earn your trust. In an era of content mills, affiliate-driven "reviews," and AI-generated fluff, we believe radical transparency is the only acceptable standard. This document is our binding commitment to you.

Our Mission
David Ogilvy once wrote: "The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife." We apply that philosophy to every word we publish. Our readers are not traffic metrics - they are real people struggling with real sleep problems, making real purchasing decisions that affect their health, relationships, and quality of life.
Our mission is singular: To empower every reader with the accurate, unbiased, and actionable information they need to make confident sleep health decisions - whether that's choosing a mattress, addressing chronic snoring, or understanding a sleep disorder.
- We will never sacrifice accuracy for speed
- We will never compromise independence for revenue
- We will never treat readers as anything less than intelligent adults
- We will always disclose our methods, sources, and potential conflicts

Content Creation Process
Great content is not an accident. It is the product of deliberate process, expert knowledge, and relentless quality control. Here is exactly how a piece of content moves from concept to publication at SnoreZing:
Topic Selection & Research
Topics are selected based on reader needs, emerging sleep science, and identified knowledge gaps. Our team conducts comprehensive literature reviews before any writing begins.
Expert Drafting
Content is written by specialized health writers with demonstrated expertise in sleep science, product testing, or clinical sleep medicine. Each writer is assigned topics within their domain of knowledge.
Editorial Review
Senior editors review for accuracy, clarity, tone, and adherence to our style guide. Claims are verified against cited sources. Readability is assessed for our target audience.
Medical Review
Board-certified sleep medicine specialists review all health-related claims, ensuring alignment with current clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed evidence.
Fact-Checking & Compliance
A dedicated fact-checker verifies every statistic, product claim, and reference. Legal compliance is confirmed. Accessibility standards are verified.
Publication & Monitoring
After final approval, content is published with clear attribution, review dates, and source citations. Post-publication monitoring tracks reader feedback and emerging evidence.
Medical Review Process
When your health is on the line, "pretty close" is not good enough. Every piece of content on SnoreZing that contains medical or health-related information undergoes mandatory review by qualified medical professionals before publication.
Our Medical Review Standards
- All reviewers are board-certified physicians with active clinical practice in sleep medicine, pulmonology, or related specialties
- Reviewers verify clinical accuracy, pharmacological correctness, and alignment with current treatment guidelines
- Medical reviewers have no financial relationship with products or companies mentioned in content they review
- Each reviewer's credentials, name, and photo are displayed on every article they have reviewed
- Content that fails medical review cannot be published - period. No exceptions, no overrides
Our current Medical Director, Dr. James Thornton (M.D., F.A.A.S.M., Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine), leads a team of 8+ medical reviewers who collectively bring decades of clinical sleep medicine experience to our content review process.

Sources & References
We do not make claims in a vacuum. Every factual assertion in our content is traceable to authoritative sources. Here is our source hierarchy, from most to least preferred:
| Tier | Source Type | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Peer-reviewed clinical studies | PubMed, The Lancet Sleep Medicine, JAMA, NEJM |
| Tier 1 | Government health agencies | NIH, CDC, FDA, AASM guidelines |
| Tier 2 | Major medical institutions | Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins |
| Tier 2 | Professional medical associations | AASM, AAAAI, Sleep Research Society |
| Tier 3 | Expert interviews & commentary | Board-certified physicians, researchers |
| Tier 4 | Manufacturer data (supplementary only) | Product specs, clinical trial data from manufacturers |
We cite a minimum of 500+ sources across our content library. Every article includes inline citations and a complete reference list at the bottom of the page. We never rely on a single source for health claims.
Product Review Methodology
When we recommend a product, we are staking our reputation on that recommendation. Here is the methodology that underpins every product review and comparison on SnoreZing:
Hands-On Testing
Every product is physically tested by our team for a minimum of 14 days. We evaluate comfort, durability, noise levels, ease of use, and real-world effectiveness.
Scoring Framework
Products are scored across weighted criteria: efficacy (30%), comfort (25%), value (20%), durability (15%), and user experience (10%).
Diverse Testing Panel
Products are tested by people of different body types, sleeping positions, and severity levels to ensure recommendations work for diverse users.
Scientific Validation
Product claims are cross-referenced with available clinical studies. If a product claims clinical efficacy, we verify those claims independently.
Important: We purchase most products at retail price to ensure unbiased testing. When manufacturers provide review units, this is clearly disclosed, and it does not influence our scoring or recommendations.

Editorial Independence
This is the section that matters most. Let us be unequivocal: our editorial team has complete authority over what we publish, how we review products, and what recommendations we make. No advertiser, no business partner, no executive - nobody outside our editorial team has any say in our content.
๐ซ What We Will Never Do
- Allow advertisers to influence editorial content, ratings, or recommendations
- Publish content designed primarily to benefit a commercial partner
- Accept payment in exchange for favorable product reviews
- Guarantee positive coverage to any brand or manufacturer
- Suppress negative reviews or honest criticism of any product
Our editorial team's compensation is not tied to affiliate revenue, product placement, or any commercial metric. Editors and writers are salaried professionals whose performance is measured by content quality, accuracy, and reader trust - not by clicks or conversions.
Corrections Policy
We are human. Errors happen. What matters is not perfection - it is how we respond when we fall short. Here is our corrections protocol:

Outdated Information
Product Information Changes

AI & Technology Policy
Artificial intelligence is a tool - not a replacement for human expertise. As of January 15, 2026, here is our policy on AI use in content creation:
โ Acceptable AI Use
- โข Initial research aggregation
- โข Grammar and readability suggestions
- โข Data formatting and organization
- โข Image optimization suggestions
- โข Accessibility compliance checking
๐ซ Prohibited AI Use
- โข Publishing AI-generated content without expert review
- โข AI making medical or health recommendations
- โข AI-generated product ratings or scores
- โข Fabricating sources, studies, or citations
- โข Replacing human editorial judgment entirely
Our principle is simple: AI may assist the process, but every published word carries the name and reputation of a human expert who has reviewed and approved it. We will never publish content where AI was the final decision-maker.
Diversity & Inclusion
Sleep health affects everyone - and our content must reflect that reality. We are committed to creating content that is inclusive, representative, and accessible to all readers regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or socioeconomic background.
- Diverse expert voices: Our medical review panel and contributor network include professionals from diverse backgrounds
- Inclusive language: We use person-first, non-stigmatizing language and follow APA Style guidelines for bias-free communication
- Health equity: We address sleep health disparities and ensure our recommendations are accessible across income levels
- Accessibility: All content meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards minimum, with ongoing efforts toward AAA compliance
- Cultural sensitivity: We recognize that sleep practices and product preferences vary across cultures and communities
Content Updates & Maintenance
Medical knowledge evolves. Products change. Recommendations that were accurate last year may be outdated today. Here is our content maintenance schedule:
| Content Type | Review Frequency | Max Age Before Update |
|---|---|---|
| Medical/Health Articles | Every 3 months | 365 days |
| Product Reviews | Every 6 months | 365 days |
| Buying Guides | Every 6 months | 365 days |
| Editorial Policies | Every 6 months | 365 days |
Every article displays its "Last Reviewed" date prominently. If an article has not been reviewed within its required timeframe, it is flagged for immediate review or temporarily marked as "Pending Review" until updated.
Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about how we fund our work is essential to maintaining your trust. Here is everything you need to know about our revenue model:
How SnoreZing Generates Revenue
- 1Affiliate Commissions: We earn commissions when readers purchase products through our affiliate links. This comes at no additional cost to you. We only link to products we have reviewed and recommend.
- 2Display Advertising: We display third-party advertisements on our site. These ads are clearly labeled and have zero influence on our editorial content.
- 3Sponsored Content: On rare occasions, we publish clearly labeled sponsored content. This is always marked with a prominent "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" label and follows the same accuracy standards as organic content.
The Wall: We maintain a strict organizational "wall" between our editorial team and our business/advertising team. Editorial staff do not know specific affiliate revenue figures for individual products, and advertising staff cannot influence which products are reviewed or how they are rated.

Contact & Feedback
This policy is a living document, and we welcome your input. Whether you have a question about our editorial process, want to report an error, or have feedback on how we can improve - we want to hear from you.

Final Note: This editorial policy represents our binding commitment to you, our reader. We publish it not because we are required to, but because we believe you have a right to know exactly how we operate. If we ever fail to live up to these standards, hold us accountable. That is what trust demands.
