Duvalay are looking for 10 Mumsnetters to try their latest mattress in the Hilary Devey Collection and to share feedback on a thread on Mumsnet.

Those selected will be sent either a Diamond (firmer) mattress or a Diamond-Luxe (softer) mattress (of their choice) and asked to try it on their existing bed frame. Each mattress has a retail value of £1000. You can choose the size you’d need.

More info and details here: www.hilarydeveycollection.co.uk

Here’s what Duvalay have to say “With over a third of our lives spent sleeping, picking the right mattress is an important factor in making sure you get a good night’s sleep. In an era of mass-production, turning to a handcrafted mattress can be a way of ensuring you don’t suffer from aches and pains after an uncomfortable night’s sleep. Combining traditional handcrafted bed-making techniques with the finest raw materials and innovation, the Hilary Devey Collection is a premium range of hand-made mattresses. Each one is produced from Duvalay’s new Yorkshire factory, which the company moved into a year ago, quadrupling floor space to keep up for the demand for Duvalay products. With Hilary (ex Dragons Den) at the forefront of the design of the collection, personally selecting key features and materials, the collection brings a fresh take to a male-dominated industry by providing affordable luxury with a glamorous edge”.

“The Diamond is a supreme quality mattress that features 2000 individually nested pocket springs. With a summer and winter side, it provides you with a good night’s sleep all year round thanks to its cotton side for summer, which wicks moisture away and a wool side for winter that provides a snug-like effect - furthermore it has been Tried and Tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

The Diamond-Luxe takes all the best elements of the Diamond mattress, including luxurious materials and hand side-stitched borders, and features a range of new elements that further add to its glamorous take on the perfect night’s sleep. It’s also one of the first mattresses to the UK market that offers both an ingenious new pocket spring called MidasTouch and a revolutionary new filling called Wooltec®. MidasTouch is a unique spring system that has been specially designed to offer initial softness but also provides much needed support once weight has been applied. Each spring is encased in its own fabric pocket, to actively reduce partner disturbance for a relaxing night’s sleep.

The Wooltec® filling is produced using one of nature’s finest materials, lambswool, and uses the latest is modern manufacturing techniques to create vertically bonded fibres, which allows air to circulate much more easily for greater temperature control. The specially bonded fibres also increase durability and comfort".

We’d like testers to share feedback at least three times on a thread on Mumsnet, as well as sharing photos on the thread. This is open to all UK MNers.

If you’d like to apply, please sign up here and we will be in touch with selected testers directly.

Thanks,

MNHQ

UPDATE: Just for clarity, so long as the required feedback is left, selected testers will be able to keep the mattress after testing. Duvalay is unfortunately unable to take away old mattresses so testers will need to make their own arrangements for this.

No, I didn't hear back about the cake either.

NerrSnerr · 27/06/2017 12:36

I'm another who didn't hear about the cake.

BeyondOfbob · 27/06/2017 12:47

Iambubbles86 · 27/06/2017 13:24

Nope me neither :-(

Candyperfumegirl · 27/06/2017 14:01

Not heard anything about the cake test either, so thought I hadn't been picked as thought it was a bit late now considering they wanted it asap

Scoleah · 27/06/2017 14:32

I've Just emailed them again to see if there's any update of when we'll know! Will update when I get a reply x

Scoleah · 27/06/2017 14:57

They've just been sent out- I wasn't picked Sad but goodluck to everyone! X

Intotheclouds · 27/06/2017 14:59

Sad Sad Sad

glitterglitters · 27/06/2017 15:11

Just checked my emails and junk. No mattress sadly but a Nigerian prince has contacted me in order to gift me part of $4,000,000 worth of gold so not all bad for a Tuesday Grin

Scoleah · 27/06/2017 15:13

Well done kato!

glitterglitters · 27/06/2017 15:28

Sleepover at @kato's house

I'll bring chips and dip!

Scoleah · 27/06/2017 15:29

I'm tagging along!

MattressKing · 27/06/2017 15:30

I've had an email - I'm beyond excited. Thank you Mumsnet. Will be great to ditch my 15 year old mattress.

I've NC for this and the subsequent feedback thread as there is no way I will be able to contain myself in RL and I don't want to out myself!

If nothing else it will force me to sort my bedroom out as, at the moment, it is as far away from a haven of tranquility as you could get.

Iambubbles86 · 27/06/2017 15:31

Nope, not me either. Congrats those who have though

Oogle · 27/06/2017 15:46

I never get picked. I'm wondering if I'm putting the wrong email address in (had to change after the password hacking scandal) or if because I bitterly complained about not receiving a Davina DVD I won under a different name. Still not received it 18 months later, if anyone was wondering Grin

Well done to those who have been chosen x

AnnMumsnet · 27/06/2017 15:59

hi - emails have gone out for this one - well done to those selected (PLEASE RSVP) and sorry to those who weren't.

DejaVuDieter · 27/06/2017 16:06

Scoleah · 27/06/2017 16:07

No, no email if your not lucky deja x

NerrSnerr · 27/06/2017 16:07

Deja on the product tests you only hear if it's a yes.

DejaVuDieter · 27/06/2017 16:15

MTBMummy · 27/06/2017 19:26

Congrats to those selected.

DreamsInBlack · 27/06/2017 20:04

Well done to all you lucky buggers who got picked! Bet you can't wait to get a great night's sleep.
