Welcome to IndyBest; the ultimate destination for shopping advice, gift guides and product reviews. For more than 40 years, The Independent’s trusted journalism and impartial values have run throughout our IndyBest editorial coverage to ensure that every purchase you make – big or small – is one we’d genuinely recommend and the best for you.

While we may earn commission when you purchase through the links on our site, we pride ourselves on being entirely independent and never allow this to influence our product selection. In fact, every product featured in our reviews, across tech, gaming, fashion, beauty, fitness and home and garden, has earned its spot as the result of rigorous, real-world product testing by our expert journalists who you can read about here.

The IndyBest seal of approval comes after weeks, if not months, of testing – for example, when sleep expert Sarah Jones reviewed the best mattresses, she slept on each one for at least 1000 hours. If we don’t think a product is worth your money and is not something we’d buy ourselves, it won’t be featured. You can read more about our testing criteria here.
