Slumberland are looking for 15 Mumsnetters to test out their divan sets with Serene or Tempo mattresses.

Here’s what Slumberland say, "Here at Slumberland we know the importance of sleep as a part of a healthy lifestyle, when you have the best night’s sleep possible, you live longer, look better, feel better, concentrate more and perform better at work and play. We understand how the quality of your bed can affect your sleep. Slumberland mattresses are made using a blend of four innovative materials, so that every aspect of your sleep is nurtured.”

Those selected would need to visit the Slumberland factory in Huntingdon during w/c 22nd February, where testers would select the bed of their choice. Testers will be able to choose from:

  • Double (135cm) or Kingsize (150 cm) divan set
  • Serene or Tempo mattress

If selected, once you have chosen your bed at the Slumberland factory in Huntingdon, your chosen bed will be delivered and set up in the room of your choice within 2-3 weeks. You will need to try the bed for a few weeks and so long as you add feedback as required you will be able to keep the product. You would need to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet and at the end of the testing period, we'd also like you to post a review on the Mumsnet review pages.

In order to keep the product, you would need to add your feedback by 4th April, so please only apply if you are able to do this.

If you’re interested in taking part please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

Lil I think these things are pretty random I have applied for lots of product tests and been selected for a few but not selected for lots more. The last one I did was snazaroo face paints I think?

I live about an hour and a half drive away from the factory (according to Google maps) and I said about wanting to replace our bed and being pregnant(33wks now) so needing a comfy bed. I can't remember exactly, I do always wonder like you if there are key words or something that will get you chosen!

Nothing in my inbox Congrats everyone who'll be getting a new bed - they do sound fab Smile

Lilbratz · 15/02/2016 15:07

Thanks. I only live 20 mins away so thought I would be in for a good chance but I too wonder if its age, or other specifics. congratulations on the pregnancy, you definitely need a new bed :)

mollyonthemove · 15/02/2016 15:16

Also very near and thought I may be in with a chance because of that!

HardleyWorthit · 15/02/2016 15:45

Ah bugger, was hoping desperately for this one... Sad

Have fun choosing to all those who have been selected and enjoy your new beds! Smile

Jitterybug · 15/02/2016 16:27

I live 180 miles away Shock, but its worth the trip. We really need a new bed, but it was one of those things that got pushed down the queue.

Oh I hope Rebecca is reading this as am way on hols and someone has hacked into my email acct so I don't know if I have won or not .

Wombatinabathhat · 15/02/2016 18:58

I can't believe it but I was picked Grin
I've never won anything or been chosen for anything before. It's a 2 and half hour drive each way from me but so worth it. Commiserations to those who didn't get chosen Thanks

cuddles159 · 16/02/2016 12:56

Which mattress did you go for? I'm so excited about my trip tomorrow. Grin

Wombatinabathhat · 22/02/2016 17:01

I've also been for mine. I picked the Serene. Tis lovely. We selected a headboard but have to pay for that seperately.
There is a choice of 2 mattresses and both were lovely. They said we could have a Divan with 2 drawers at no cost. They also laid on a buffet lunch which was very thoughtful. I think you can select the ottoman style divan if you want to pay a supplement.
Very helpful and friendly staff

Oh cool that's great re choice, yes I was going to ask if we could pay to have storage/headboard will see what they say but as long as we get storage that's great.

I have been Googled the two mattresses I think I like the sprung one the serene? But am assuming we can lay on them for feel and then choose? Dh is really excited about our day out to choose a bed!

I shall report back on wed it's good to hear such positive things about the staff and their helpfulness etc :)

Wombatinabathhat · 22/02/2016 17:50

I spent ages laying on the beds 5mad and kept moving from one to the other and rolling around. It was great Grin

SweetPeaPods · 22/02/2016 21:44

Gutted I missed this. We desperately need a new bed, especially mattress.
Will look at the reviews though to see if any good. Might need to sell a kidney to fund it though

MrsKwazii · 22/02/2016 23:34

Sounds fab! Rebecca if you need any last minute stop-gap testers my availability is drop-of-a-hat flexible WinkGrin

Jitterybug · 23/02/2016 12:16

Oooh I am going tomorrow, can't wait. Wombat if you don't mind me asking, how much extra was it for the headboard?

5madthings I might see you there [waves]

Thanks

5madthings · 23/02/2016 14:46

Yes I am wondering how much extra it is for different storage or headboards.

And yes may see you there jittery I will be the massively pregnant one...well am 34wks and feeling huge.

Very excited!

MaximumVolume · 23/02/2016 16:26

We had a lovely day at the bed factory choosing our new bed! We chose the serene with sapphire colour based & paid a little extra (£47) to have the 4 drawer option.
