About Cozy Earth
Cozy Earth is a luxury lifestyle brand known for its ultra-soft, sustainably sourced bamboo bedding, loungewear, and bath products. Featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things and trusted by celebrities and customers alike, Cozy Earth’s mission is simple: elevate the comfort and quality of everyday life.
Over the past five years, Cozy Earth has grown rapidly, expanding its online catalog with thousands of pages and numerous product launches. But with that growth came a new challenge: ensuring that everyone, including users with disabilities, could experience the Cozy Earth brand online.
Our mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives: and that starts with making our website accessible to all users, regardless of ability.
- Alex Nelson, Director of Digital Product at Cozy Earth
The Challenge
As Cozy Earth scaled, so did the complexity of its website. Cozy Earth’s innovation culture (quickly launching new products and testing bold marketing campaigns) created a vibrant but complex codebase. Over time, legacy pages, unused files, and experimental content piled up. Paired with an ever-growing product catalog, this created a fragmented codebase with hidden accessibility liabilities.
We found over 600 files that might not even be in use anymore. Multiply that by all the collection and product pages. We’re talking thousands of pages across the site.
- Diego Hernandez, Developer at Cozy Earth
Despite efforts to maintain WCAG standards internally, the team struggled to ensure ongoing compliance across every part of the site, particularly with automated solutions falling short.
While Cozy Earth’s in-house and agency dev teams worked hard to maintain accessibility, a few issues still slipped through the cracks: especially on old or forgotten pages. These gaps opened the company up to lawsuits and legal risk, which began to raise red flags across leadership.
We've used fully automated tools before, and they just miss too much. Worse, sometimes they make things worse. Bad ARIA is worse than no ARIA.

That’s what caused Alex Nelson to ask “Okay, how can I solve this issue?’” in his role as Director of Digital Product
Why Cozy Earth Chose TestParty
Cozy Earth was initially referred to TestParty through a trusted agency partner. The brand was evaluating various accessibility vendors, but most automated solutions felt like black boxes with no transparency or human oversight.
TestParty stood out with its hybrid approach: combining AI-powered automation with manual human reviews, all packaged into pull requests ready for Cozy Earth's developers to review and merge.
The cadence of updates, automated audits plus human review, and the ability to submit clean pull requests really set TestParty apart.

The Solution
TestParty integrated directly into Cozy Earth’s development workflow with minimal disruption. The team received regular pull requests addressing accessibility issues across key product and collection pages—plus overlooked legacy pages.
Key Features Used:
- AI-powered page scanning and remediation
- Manual validation of complex elements (ARIA, modals, etc.)
- GitHub-based PR delivery for seamless dev review
- Monthly executive reports for visibility and tracking
The fact that I can review a PR just like any other dev task made adoption effortless. It didn’t add extra work—just became part of the flow.
- Diego Hernandez
Within 2 weeks, the TestParty team remediated nearly 8,000 accessibility issues to bring Cozy Earth up to WCAG 2.2 AA compliance: beyond the industry standard.
