Sleep rip-offs to avoid this winter: CHOICE
Consumer group CHOICE is warning Australians to avoid “sleep shonks” this winter and giving advice on how to get a good night’s rest. CHOICE’s independent lab tests even found one $4399 mattress was beaten by a $499 competitor.
“Products that promise to give you a good night’s sleep have long been a feature of CHOICE’s lab testing and investigations” says Chris Barnes, Product Testing Expert at CHOICE.
“Marketing claims promising a better night’s sleep are everywhere, but the evidence in many areas is lacking. In 2018 CHOICE awarded Bioglan a Shonky award for useless homeopathic sleep tablets and the 2020 Shonkys featured a “sleep survey” used to sell expensive mattresses. Sleep rip-offs are everywhere, so this year CHOICE wants to help you improve your sleep without getting ripped off”.
