Julia Forbes
Product Tester
Julia is a Certified Sleep Science Coach, a product tester at Sleep Advisor, and a lifelong stomach sleeper who is trying to morph into a combination sleeper.
She’s been working in the sleep health space for nearly 4 years. Before joining the Sleep Advisor team, Julia worked with brands like Roku’s This Old House, Sports Illustrated, and Real Simple magazine.
In a previous life, Julia was an athlete, so getting good sleep has always been important to her. She joined the Sleep Advisor team with the goal of becoming a sleep expert and helping others get the best sleep they can. She’s tested more than 500 mattresses and sleep accessories.
When she’s not testing out mattresses, she’s going to the farmer’s market (or probably taking a nap) with her senior pup, Rosita.
Julia received her bachelor’s degree from Queens University of Charlotte.
Check out her latest videos on the Sleep Advisor YouTube channel or TikTok.
