What the score means

Declared quality: built from what each maker states about materials, thermal behaviour, support, function, certification and durability, weighted for cpap machines & accessories. It rewards products that say specifically what they are and what they are made of. It is not a lab test, and a product whose maker states too little to grade is not ranked rather than ranked low. Scores compare each group only with itself — never a mattress with a pair of earplugs.

Scores rate what a product declares, not how it will suit you. Persistent sleep problems are worth raising with a clinician. Some links are affiliate links; they never affect a score.
