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.

This is something I'd like to be involved with! Fingers crossed Smile

Mummybroadley · 15/06/2017 21:21

Ohhh this would be fantastic for us and our five little people to test drive!

Theimpossiblegirl · 15/06/2017 21:51

I think I ticked kingsize when I meant double (I have a kingsize duvet so got confused).
Can this be changed please MNHQ?

gingerhousecat · 16/06/2017 00:19

Signed up!

stayathomegardener · 16/06/2017 01:10

Thank you @LTBiscuit it is lovely but we started working on it in 1999 so I am getting super impatient to move in properly now!

Hidingtonothing · 16/06/2017 01:26

I haven't slept in our bed for months as it's just too uncomfortable now, am desperately hoping I get picked for this one 🙏

MrsLlaneous · 16/06/2017 07:13

Done! No words could fully describe how much I need this mattress in my life :) good luck everyone!

HerRoyalFattyness · 16/06/2017 07:37

Done. I need a new mattress that can properly support my back and hips but can't afford one. This seems like it could be perfect for my needs.

NoFucksImAQueen · 16/06/2017 07:42

Applied. Would love to try it but looks like lots of people interested. Good luck everyone

Tigger83 · 16/06/2017 09:17

Would love to try a new mattress! Can't wait to see if I get the chance.

uncertaindreams · 16/06/2017 12:29

Keeping everything crossed on this one! 😴👌

KanyeWesticle · 16/06/2017 13:00

This is perfect timing! DH hates my (cheap, old, soft) mattress. I'd love to try a firm one.

twentyfour7flash · 16/06/2017 20:01

Hope I get picked :) be great to try this out and really need a new mattress! Had my current one since I was 14 Blush

NoMoreMarbles · 16/06/2017 23:27

Fingers crossed!

emmie5 · 17/06/2017 07:36

I have applied

Toomuchocolate · 17/06/2017 07:47

IVe applied, fingers crossed I get it !

RockinHippy · 17/06/2017 12:22

Yes please. We're looking at new mattresses now as our half memory foam is on it's last legs & though we loved it, it hasn't really lasted so well., so open to looking at other choices, so this would be amazing.

Both DH & I have back trouble & I have more health problems that means I don't sleep well & need a very good mattress.

So yes please !!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞😊

NapoleonsNose · 17/06/2017 14:06

I've signed up. Please pick me! I get out of bed in the morning like I'm an 80 year old. Our mattress is way too soft but just cannot afford a new one right now.

maggie222 · 17/06/2017 18:11

This looks fab!

Fingers crossed x

MadisonMontgomery · 17/06/2017 18:27

I soooo want to get picked for this! I get lower back pain & could really do with a new mattress, I really want a wool one but they are pricey. Fingers crossed!

Scrabblingforsanity · 17/06/2017 19:51

Me!

torthecatlady · 17/06/2017 21:09

Does anyone know when the closing date for the application is and when the lucky Mumsnetter's will be contacted?

BicycleMadeForTwo · 17/06/2017 21:10

Please, please, please pick us. Our mattress is far too many years past it's best and I can't remember the last time we had a decent nights sleep and didn't wake up with sore backs! 🤞

claza93 · 17/06/2017 21:19

Yes please! All signed up!

Var1234 · 18/06/2017 11:18

I'd really like to take part in this. Finding a good mattress is extremely difficult so if these mattresses are good then my 18 month quest will finally be over.
I guess the test of a good mattress is that you don't notice it!
