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.

Signed up. I think Brew Desperately needing a good nights sleep. Looking to replace the new mattress I bought just a few weeks ago which is pants.

avamiah · 12/06/2017 01:26

Yes i signed up or I think I did.
I would hope MN would contact us if we missed something out.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 12/06/2017 08:48

I spend a fair bit of time in bed as I am still recuperating- this would mean that I sleep more than a few hours a night.

KatoPotato · 12/06/2017 10:06

Gawd... everyone on this thread wants this as much as us lads... please pick me!

AnnMumsnet · 12/06/2017 11:18

[quote ShakingAndShocked]@AnnMumsnet I've not applied but can you please clarify something?

OP refers to people 'testing' the mattress and I think most PPs are assuming (as I would) that they then keep the mattress but, unlike in other high ticket items where it's made clear the 'winners' can keep them, that's not remotely spelt out here.

So is this literally just a 'test' OR will the lovely folks above explaining why they're desperate to be picked actually get to keep product?[/quote]

hi - just doubled checked and it will be the selected testers mattress to keep. Grin

PurpleCrazyHorse · 12/06/2017 16:24

MrFMercury I don't post on the thread, I just fill in the form and I've been selected for many items over the years.

Queenelsarules · 12/06/2017 20:40

Please pick me! I wake every morning with aches and pains from my mattress.

FranksBobot · 13/06/2017 01:32

Oh my days, I need this in my life! Have given up buying mattresses. 3 in 2 years and still can't get a decent nights kip Shock

1stDinkyDecker · 13/06/2017 12:07

Sillysausage123 · 13/06/2017 17:50

I have everything crossed that I'm picked as I have a constant bad back every morning

MrFMercury · 13/06/2017 19:55

Thanks PurpleCrazyHorse

pinklemonade84 · 13/06/2017 22:59

Entered. Oh how I would love to test a new mattress. In dire need of a new one. Good luck everyone who has entered x

fivekidsonemum · 14/06/2017 01:21

These sound amazing - a winter and summer side on the mattress what a fab idea ! Mine is the cause of my back ache every morning so I'd love to try a high quality one out to see if it stops me tossing and turning all night

trufflehumper · 14/06/2017 03:03

Have applied Grin We have three kids under 7. The eldest has had many problems sleeping consistently throughout the night and often gets into our bed. The middle child now does this too. We have a futon mattress on a king size bed frame and I find it uncomfortable, especially when our two girls are also in bed with us. A crooked neck, backache and a general lack of sleep is often my experience. A new mattress wont make my kids sleep!! but it might make co-sleeping a little more comfortable Grin

VoldysGoneMouldy · 14/06/2017 13:45

Would it help my case if I sent them gin?? Gin Wine Gin

I'm keeping all my fingers and toes and limbs crossed (very difficult to type) as this really would change my life.

stayathomegardener · 14/06/2017 22:58

Just realised our mattress is 19 years old! No wonder it's so uncomfortable.

Will finish our new build house in the next few weeks and a new mattress would be perfect in the almost finished bedroom

Signed up! Desperate for this - I am having menopausal hot flushes, and dh is disabled and needs heat. Sounds like natural fibres and breathable the perfect compromise.

Jellyrollswobble · 15/06/2017 05:11

Me please. My current mattress has springs sticking out of it. I desperately need a new one but can't afford one at the moment.

LTBiscuit · 15/06/2017 12:48

I've signed up as well, this would be just wonderful x

LTBiscuit · 15/06/2017 12:50

stayathome Your home looks beautiful, what a lovely view!

PinkSnowAndStars · 15/06/2017 13:21

I've got everything crossed for this one. My current mattress is so uncomfortable!
