These types of sheets will give you better sleep

Question

Anti-allergenic bed sheets (specifically Miracle Sheets) can help you sleep better at night by preventing allergic reactions due to dust or other airborne allergies  and even improve skin complexity

I like that you checked the website to investigate the authors purpose and the reliability of his claim. I think the distinction that it was based off of his personal experience instead of being linked to any viable studies. I agree that after reading the article it was very clear that it was intended to sell the product. I think that the claim is misleading and could be altered to fit the article more accurately.

Answer 1

This article claims that Miracle Sheets use NASA-inspired cooling technology and have silver-infused antimicrobial properties that are able to reverse skin and allergy issues. These are intriguing claims, but they lack any elaboration on how it works specifically, and provide no sources to support the claims.

The article is written through an individual's experience, and yet makes claims that generalize to everyone, which is misleading. It is also clear that this article is trying to sell you the product based on the many links and positive reviews shown throughout. It is obviously a biased source with the goal of selling the readers a product, rather than provide an unbiased review of it.

I totally agree with your answer and how misleading the article is. Using issues such as allergies and skin conditions can lead many to be influenced by this article but as soon as I read it I could tell it was an advertisement trying to up-sell these sheets. I Know that the reliability of this article is obvious but I do believe a mention of the author or media itself would make this fact check better. Maybe finding who the author is and if there was another purpose for writing this article.

I agree with your answer and think what you pointed out about the lack of an explanation of how it works was really important. A lot of what the article said was vague and really didn't say anything of substance.

Your answer was well thought out, mentioning the article's claims and selling points and using an individualistic viewpoint. I think further research would've been helpful to back up your claims, such as determining whether some different viewpoints or studies would make your claim more believable.

I appreciate that you acknowledge the claims intriguing but find them to be poorly researched and only a claim to make the product sell that isn't based on science. the fact that it is written from an individuals perspective makes this more personable, but less likely to apply to the masses. Aside from the article obviously being an ad to sell this, I do wish you had provided more evidence that goes against why these sheets wouldn't work instead of only criticizing the original article.
