A sample of 500 or more owner experiences gathered is often large enough for most pillows to provide findings with a maximum margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Data is usually not collected from pillows owners who say that they have slept on a particular pillow for less than one week as this is often not enough time to form an accurate opinion. In addition, outdated consumer experience data (data older than five years) is not often collected or is removed from our data set. When collecting owner experience data from a retailer's website, such as Amazon, "verified reviews" are the only type of review from which data is gathered. We do not evaluate all pillows available on the market. We evaluate only those that rate highest in owner satisfaction (usually a rating above 81%) based on a significant sample. Pillows that do not meet this criteria do not appear in our research findings, and owner data on such pillows is not including in our aggregate ratings. The date near the top of the page shows when the page was updated based on the latest owner experience data and product information. But even the most recently updated page is not guaranteed to provide real-time information including current prices or availability.
