How Bodyward scores sleep aids
Each product on the sleep aids scorecard gets one 0–100 score from the weighted formula below, computed only from published manufacturer specs and dated retailer records; we do not physically test products. The current table covers 21 products across 8 recorded spec fields, refreshed July 4, 2026.

What the score bands mean
Score bands80+ strong60–79 solidBelow 60 limited fit
- 80+: strong marks on the heaviest dimensions with few weak lines in the listed specs.
- 60–79: competitive on most scored inputs, with at least one clearly weaker dimension.
- Below 60: trails this field on the inputs weighted most; the product cards list exactly where.
Source hierarchy
Published manufacturer specifications rank first, dated retailer records second; marketing claims without a checkable figure are excluded from scoring. Missing values never earn invented numbers; they are labeled “not listed - neutral 50” and take the neutral 50 grade the weight definitions describe.
