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

Standard Insight T&Cs Apply

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.

Iambubbles86 · 22/06/2017 09:30

I think they contact within a few hours of closing so I don't think we got it this time scoleah Sad

Scoleah · 22/06/2017 09:33

Aw thanks Bubbles. They closed it about 6pm yesterday so thought they May be doing it today. Fingers crossed anyway! X

Iambubbles86 · 22/06/2017 09:41

I got the google home and the moshi monsters so I can't complain, can't expect to get em all (although a new mattress would be lovely, I've had the same 2nd hand one my whole adult life lol) x

Scoleah · 22/06/2017 09:44

Oh well done! I had the Moshi Monsters too; the google home looked Fab! Yea I've had my mattress nearly as long, got Married, bought a dog and had 2 kids since having mine. Blush I love the summer:winter side of these mattresses, and would just be nice to get a new one haha x

Iambubbles86 · 22/06/2017 16:21

Surprised to see nobody has message on here or the sanctuary spa yet that they got an email. Maybe they haven't been sent out yet?

Scoleah · 22/06/2017 16:26

I've refreshed my emails all day & haven't had anything, and checked the forum but nothing; strange isn't it! X

Iambubbles86 · 22/06/2017 16:47

Yeah. I also replied to an "urgent email" for chocolate cake testers (need feedback by the end of june) where time was of the essence, I replied within seconds of getting the email but heard nothing back. If it was that urgent you would have thought they would have picked first come first served and notified immediatly

Scoleah · 22/06/2017 16:56

Yes I've had a few like that too. Disappointing when you go to the extremes of stalking the postman hoping they've just forgotten to send the email lol. I May have just email MN to see what's happening Wink

Iambubbles86 · 22/06/2017 17:11

Good plan!!

Iambubbles86 · 23/06/2017 06:48

Has anyone had an email yet?

Scoleah · 23/06/2017 07:46

Not yet Bubbles! I had an email back..
"no one has been picked yet - we have an awful lot of applicants to go through so you will need to bear with us I am afraid"

Today will be another day of constantly refreshing my inbox lol x

Iambubbles86 · 23/06/2017 07:50

Ah well great job looking into it, I'm hoping they take the fact that you showed the initiative to email them as proof you are particularly invested In this and they pick you on that basis. Good luck x

Scoleah · 23/06/2017 07:53

Wouldn't that be good, I hope they do haha. Bet it's hard to pick just 10, but fingers crossed Bubbles, hopefully we'll have the lucky emails today! X

DreamsInBlack · 23/06/2017 08:31

I don't envy the person having to decide! So many people desperate for a good night's sleep. No one's getting served at work today, I'm going to be living in my email folders.

Scoleah · 23/06/2017 08:33

Haha. I think I refreshed my emails all day yesterday; didn't realise how much that drains your battery, until I had to charge it twice cos it died on me! Blush Goodluck everyone' x

Scoleah · 23/06/2017 14:27
