About Us

Sleep - there's nothing quite like it.

And yet, with all the stresses of the modern world, it's becoming increasingly more challenging to enjoy a night of good ol' shut-eye.

While the emotional and psychological aspects of sleep cannot be ignored, the physical side of it - finding the right sleep products to help you sleep well - is just as important.

That's why we at Sleep Hero UK are committed to helping our readers find the best mattresses, beds, and sleep accessories to suit their needs.

Good sleep, after all, really does matter.

    With a presence across 20 websites in 8 languages and a yearly audience surpassing 10 million visitors, Airi isn't just about reaching people - it's about genuinely helping them navigate the complex world of choices. 

  • Where do you test products?

    We value at-home testing and have an advanced testing facility, the Airi SleepLab, in Portugal.

    The Airi SleepLab is equipped with extensive tools and sleep technologies to measure everything from temperature to support and comfort in mattresses, pillows, and other sleep accessories. 

    The facility is designed to scrutinise each product under various conditions, helping us fully understand how each item matches different sleep scenarios. 

    But we also bring products into our homes, putting them to the ultimate test - real-life usage. 

    This blend of stringent lab evaluations and hands-on home trials enables us to provide scientifically solid insights grounded in personal experience.

    It's our way of ensuring that our recommendations are reliable and relevant to your daily life, helping you make well-informed choices for your sleep sanctuary.
