Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: September 17, 2026.

This page is our affiliate disclosure, written in plain language — because the FTC requires it, and because you deserve to know exactly how this site makes money.

The short version

Some links on Steamstead are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission from the seller — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same either way.

What that means in practice

• Links to retailers like Sweaty Yeti on our pages may be affiliate links. We mark every affiliate link with rel="sponsored nofollow" in the page code, and we place an affiliate note near our recommendations.
• Commissions never buy placement. Our picks, rankings, and verdicts reflect our independent editorial judgment about what fits real homes and budgets.
• We write about products and formats we'd recommend to a friend, commission or not. If a product is a bad fit, we say so — even when it would pay us.

What we don't do

• We don't accept payment for positive reviews or rankings.
• We don't invent test results, specifications, or prices.
• We don't make medical or health claims about any product.

If you ever feel a recommendation reads like an ad rather than advice, tell us — hello@steamstead-site.pages.dev. We'd rather lose a commission than your trust.
