Can I promote my bedding brand here at all?
The rules say advertising of any type is banned, so there is no safe amount. Marketing, surveying, vote manipulation, blog posting, link tracking, affiliate and referral links, and brigading are all named.

Rule summary
- No Advertising: No advertising of any type; this includes marketing, vote manipulation, surveying, influencing, blog posting, link tracking or affiliate linking/referrals and brigading. Original website links for brands are allowed, within reason, but any recommendations that are made in bad faith (like by a company or influencer) will be banned or warned, depending on the seriousness of the offense.
- No Low-Effort Posts: Low-effort posts will be removed; please give details about the topic you are bringing before the sub, especially regarding recommendations. People need to know what your budget is, what type of qualities you'd like in your bedding, fabrics to avoid if you have had poor experiences with them in the past, etc. You don't need to write a thesis, but general information will be helpful for members and will help you get an answer to your question faster!
- No Harassment or Unnecessary Drama: Treat everyone how you yourself would like to be treated. This sub often gets all walks of life and politics should never factor into this sub, nor will it be acceptable for users to participate in unnecessary drama. Please be patient with others.
Works well
- A detailed recommendation request that states your budget, the qualities you want in bedding, and fabrics you avoid from bad past experiences
- A genuine reply to a member's question about fabric quality or care, written as yourself with no link attached
- A specific question from your own experience, for example what to look for in sheets that do not wear out fast, with enough context that members can actually help
- Sharing an original brand website link only when it directly answers a question, with your connection to the brand disclosed up front
- A comparison question built on real use, such as how two fabric types have held up for you differently over time
Avoid
- Posting affiliate links, referral links, or tracking links, which are banned outright
- Dropping a bare recommendation question with no budget or fabric details, which gets removed as low effort
- Shaping posts as marketing, surveys, vote requests, or blog promotion of any kind
- Sharing a brand website link while actually representing the brand without saying so, which the community treats as bad faith and grounds for a ban
- Bringing politics or drama into comment threads
- Being rude or impatient with members who are trying to help
What r/Bedding Is For
This is a community devoted to bedding, plain and simple. People come here to talk about sheets, comforters, fabrics, and everything else on the bed, and a lot of the activity is asking for and giving recommendations. The rules tell me the room is made up of regular people shopping for bedding and hobbyists who care about quality, and the mods want those recommendation threads to be detailed and useful. Politically and socially it stays neutral, the rules say politics should never factor in here. If you sell or make bedding, this is a room of your exact customers, but only if you show up as a helpful person and not a marketer.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules decide your fate here, and all three can touch a founder. The first is “No Advertising”, which bans advertising of any type and names marketing, surveying, vote manipulation, blog posting, link tracking, affiliate and referral links, and brigading. The second is “No Low-Effort Posts”, which removes thin posts and demands real detail, especially on recommendation requests. The third is “No Harassment or Unnecessary Drama”, which keeps the sub civil and free of politics. One important nuance in “No Advertising”, original website links for brands are allowed within reason, but recommendations made in bad faith, like from a company or influencer, get banned or warned.
What To Post
For a founder, the good posts here look like genuine participation. Answer questions about fabrics and bedding quality with your real knowledge and your real identity, and disclose your connection to any brand before anyone asks. If you share a link to a brand website, the rules allow original website links within reason, so keep it plainly relevant, never an affiliate or tracking link, and never posted to push a sale. If you ask a question, follow the low effort rule and give details, your budget, the qualities you want, and fabrics you have had bad experiences with. A founder who has genuinely wrestled with bedding materials can post a detailed, honest question and learn something, which builds credibility for the day you do have something useful to share.
What To Avoid
The fastest way out is any form of promotion. The rules ban advertising of any type, and the list is long: marketing, vote manipulation, surveying, influencing, blog posting, link tracking, affiliate linking, referrals, and brigading. A bare question like asking for sheet suggestions with no context counts as low effort and will be removed. There is a serious trap hidden in the advertising rule too, if you recommend a product from a brand you are connected to without disclosing, that is bad faith, and the community will ban or warn you depending on how serious the offense is. Rudeness, unnecessary drama, and politics all violate the harassment rule. Finally, be careful with links, affiliate and tracking links are banned even when a plain brand link might be fine.

Common questions about r/Bedding
What about linking to my own website?
The rules allow original website links for brands within reason, but a link from someone acting in bad faith, like a company or influencer, can get you banned or warned.
So can I ever share my site if I am helpful first?
Your safest play is to answer questions as yourself with disclosure of any connection to a brand, and leave the link out unless it is genuinely needed and clearly allowed.
What should a recommendation request include?
The rules require details like your budget, the qualities you want, and fabrics to avoid, because low effort posts are removed.
Does this community allow AI generated content?
The evidence does not say, so treat AI written content carefully and make sure anything you post follows the advertising and low effort rules.
