The American Sleep Research Institute (ASRI), a pioneer in the field of sleep normalcy, is the only biomechanical research and testing facility for sleep-related products in the United States. It was created in response to the growing need for specialized research and testing criteria that satisfies requirements for sleep-related products as established by the FDA and various other institutions and agencies.
In an effort to advance scientific knowledge about sleep, ASRI conducts independent research about sleep physiology and biomechanics. It also offers manufacturers of sleep-related products—bedding, pharmaceutical, medical and orthopedic supplies—qualitative evaluation of their products. Using polysomnographic and subjective measures, ASRI measures product performance and value as they relate to the quality of sleep.
The ASRI Seal of Approval is granted only to those products whose biomechanical and qualitative research findings consistently suggest superior sleep quality.

The National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) is a private, nonprofit, bioscientific research organization supported by individual, business, corporate and foundation contributions. The principal mission of NICR is to foster and fund basic applied research relating to clinical biomechanics and the role of neuromusculoskeletal system in health and disease. Particular emphasis is given to evaluation of the effectiveness of commonly used chiropractic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This research includes studying the relationship between spinal alignment and sleep.
