Hi, I’m Molly. Welcome to Bedding Directory.

I’ve been reviewing bedding since 2016: bamboo sheets, pillows and plenty of other things people sleep on. I’ve also written for a few other bedding sites along the way, and I own way more sheets, pillows, blankets and mattress toppers than any one person needs. My linen closet is a problem. My laundry pile is worse.

What this site is turning into

Bedding Directory started out mostly as a pile of product guides, and it’s still that in part. But I’m spending more time on the questions that come up after the bedding is already in your house. How often should you really wash your sheets? Why did that set shrink? Does that “cooling” fabric actually sleep cooler? And how do you know when an old pillow has officially given up?

That’s what I want this site to be: honest answers based on real use and careful research, including the occasional “honestly, skip this one.”

How I test things

I’m not running a lab. I use this stuff the way you would. It goes on my bed, through my regular laundry and into the dryer, and it stays around long enough for the annoying problems to show up. Loose elastic, stubborn wrinkles, a sheet that traps heat, pilling that appears after the third wash. None of that shows up while it’s still in the packaging.

Depending on what I’m testing, I look at fit, measurements, washing, drying time, shrinkage, pilling, stains, comfort and how it holds up over time.

I’ll always tell you when I’ve actually used something. If an article is based on research instead, it’ll say so. I do check manufacturer specs, but I treat them as claims, not as my own experience.

Health and safety topics get a stricter standard. For those, I rely on current guidance from medical, government and safety organizations. Everything here is general information, not medical advice.

If you want the details, here’s how I test:

How the site pays for itself

Some pages have affiliate links. If you buy through one, I may earn a small commission, and it costs you nothing extra. The site also shows ads.

That money doesn’t change what I write. If something pills, runs hot, fits badly or costs too much for what you get, I’ll say so in the article.

Spot something wrong, or want something reviewed?

Products get discontinued, and advice goes out of date. If you find something that looks wrong or stale, please tell me through the contact page. I read them, and good corrections are always welcome. If there’s a product you’d like me to look at, send that along too.
