About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

The lying comfort of the Mister Sandman gel topper mattress topper fully meets expectations. The gel foam provides excellent pressure relief, especially in sensitive areas such as the shoulders and hips. Slight noise can be heard when moving around in bed, but this is not unusual for most mattress toppers of this type. Cleaning is uncomplicated and takes place without any major problems. Only after washing the cover is there minimal care required. The topper also adapts very well to different sleeping positions and always offers the usual comfort thanks to its perfect recovery behavior. Particularly noteworthy is the good support of the individual body regions, which contributes to a healthy sleeping posture and improves overall sleeping comfort.
