Introducing SleepMarkTM
Powered by National Sleep Foundation
The sleep health market is booming, but most of us aren’t satisfied with our sleep. With countless products making claims about better sleep, consumers need trusted guidance. That comes from the longstanding source that’s helped fuel the trends and defined the space. Hint, it’s National Sleep Foundation. We literally wrote the book (and papers) that can help millions of people with their sleep.
Trust is Earned
There’s only one National Sleep Foundation (NSF). For over 35 years, NSF has been the leading independent sleep health resource. As a 501(c)3 organization, our mission has driven major public movements to prioritize sleep health and help anyone and everyone be their Best Slept Self®. We’re a content source behind some of the biggest names in health. No other organization does what we do to promote sleep health and safety night after night and year after year. SleepMarkTM reflects years of NSF’s work to develop guidelines, standards, and science-backed recommendations to help people’s sleep.

- Peer-reviewed guidelines and recommendations on how much sleep we need, how we define sleep qualify, what sleep satisfaction is, and more
- Expert-driven consumer sleep product standards (developed with the Consumer Technology Association®)
