about to leave already packing come with me I'm not really asking we'll get away
to a place where we don't know
hello and welcome back to Here we Tow today we're at Duvalay which is a
Yorkshire based company that specialises in mattresses mattress toppers and other
bedroom products for your Caravan, Motorhome or Leisure vehicle so back in
the summer we recorded this short video let's take a look
hello and welcome back to Here we Tow today I'm sat on our bed and I just had
a quick question we've had this foam mattress in our
Adria for three months in that three months Jules has managed to leave an
impression an indentation on his side they can now barely roll out of my side
perfectly fine but I'm half his weight at least so has anyone else had the
same problem with their Caravan mattress and also a question to Duvalay would
your memory foam mattress leave an indentation or are we best with an
sprung one answers on a postcard so that was a problem we had so what did
we do about it well in October we went to the Caravan and Motorhome show at the NEC
and we visited the Duvalay stand we did a video on that as well so let's take a
look at that one I just wanted to do a quick and really short update in
relation to our issue with the foam in the Adria the mattress that we've got as
we've said before my side dips down because the weight I am Karina's is fine so
we're just here at the NEC show at the moment just looking at the Duvalay a
product just to see if we actually think this will work in respect of if it'll
hold its memory and it's sort of a spring mattress so where the dip is
where the side is in relation to that and we're just wondering if something
like this would be better as a bit of an upgrade just to something that's the
only problem that we've really come across in the van so we're just having a
quick look but we'll keep you updated as to exactly how we get on so that was
that and we ordered our mattress and we're here today to collect it
so we'll have a look at it we've got it going into the car then we're going to
take it on our first Caravan holiday of the year and give it a test out once we
reviewed it we'll let you know how we get on
I'm just curious when did you know you had feelings
hey baby somehow we've always known we have chemistry always chasing after my someone else so this took me by surprise
and here we are back in the Adria with the Duvalay mattress we have been really
impressed that it went straight into our bed frame so we know it's a perfect fit
it actually fitted better than our foam mattress which says a lot we used to
have to squish that into the bed base so we're up and running we're going to have
a couple of nights sleep in it and then we'll let you know how we go
so you've seen what we've got and now it's bedtime and now for the moment of
truth or in fact a whole night of truth we're going to bed it's bedtime we're
all snuggled up and we've also got these memory foam pillows to try out so I'll
see you in the morning hopefully we'll have had an amazing sleep but we'll let
you know good night and i'm as snug as a bug in a rug.
you look like one as well night everyone see you in the morning
so that's it we've had two nights on our new Duvalay mattress and we've also
used our memory foam pillows and what is the verdict because I'm sure you're all
wanting to know what the verdict is on this mattress WOW the verdict is yeah wow we
are amazed with that mattress it is better than the mattress we've got at
home it is a sprung mattress so we can liken it to a mattress would have at
home it is comfy it's supportive the the sprung ones are a soft to medium
firmness and I was a bit worried that it might be a bit soft for me but it didn't
feel soft at all it was it was absolutely perfect so yeah and in
relation to my back which I know you're all keen to hear about I woke up I had
no stiffness in my back my back's been absolutely fine
I'd say it's been a lot better for sleeping on that so I would 100%
recommend that Duvalay mattress genuinely that mattress is better than the
one that we've got at home and it's and genuinely if you are stopping away and
using your Caravan that is a must upgrade
it's a must upgrade is absolutely and especially if you are heavier and been
having the problem with the foam Duvalay do obviously do the Duvalite
and the memory foam mattresses all the products are on their website it's a
really good website so i'd suggest you go and have a look and think about what
might be best for you let's just have a quick talk about weights
because the sprung mattress is not my weight not Jule's weight no we know all about that
problem with the mattress yeah so I've had spend all this money because of his weight
no the weight of the spring mattress it is heavier than the foam mattresses
you'll have to take that into account with your payload there Duvalite mattress
foam mattresses they say are probably going to be lighter than the foam that
you've already got in the caravan that you've you have now because of the
quality of the materials so you're probably not going to be affected if you
go for a sprung just bear in mind the extra weight there on your payload this
is increased ours slightly not massively if you want to weigh your own
mattress what your best doing is jump on a pair of scales weigh yourself and then
hold your mattress and jump on again and it'll give you an accurate measurement
of what yours weighs funnily enough when we towed with the mattress because we
had one night on one site and then last night we were here at Brighton the
caravan actually towed a lot better with that mattress over that axle so it
really and this Caravan tows like a dream but with that planted
on top of it Wow so not only does it give you a good
night's sleep it improves a towing of your van so yeah 100% now let's have a
quick chat about prices the price of the one we've got is 426 pounds which that
sounds a lot for a caravan mattress however there are going to be discounts
at the show a 15% so it will take it down to about three hundred and sixty
pounds for that mattress and they're also doing free delivery which saves you
an additional twenty five pounds so for 326 pounds for the sprung mattress
I wouldn't hessitate to recommend it really although that is a bespoke mattress
they'll send you sort of the schematics of your mattress they'll ask you to
measure it and check it and then they'll make it for you and that's why it fits so well
it takes about 4 weeks yeah and it does if it's perfectly I don't know what to say we're
absolutely made up with a really really impressed but also just on an aside is
worth having a chat either on the stand or give Duvalay a ring because they are a
font of all knowledge when I was talking about the Adria mattress we were talking
about fire retardancy and everything else and all the legislation these are
actually to a higher spec yeah because there have made in the UK so it's
British Standard it's all the standards that we have which are our mattress was
not probably to any standard I dread think really testing it yeah but
absolutely brilliant and also if you're worried about how you're going to
transport it to your caravan if you haven't got a huge car like us you can
get it in two halves on the double it does cost more it's fifty pounds extra
but the added bonus with that is if you have under storage and you lift it up on
your slats you can still do that quite easily with two halves obviously ours is
one big one I don't go under there anyway because of my back I can't lift
it so it's not a problem for us but you can get it in two halves if
that's going to make it easier for you with with transport or with you getting
under the bed and stuff so well I don't what else to stay in the memory foam
pillows now there's two types Duvalay do the memory foam and the deluxe
memory foam we just went for those standard ones I think it's classic just
yeah yeah they were 30 pounds each which that's a lot to maybe spend on a pillow
but as memory foam pillows go what can I say I don't even like memory
foam pillows all I would say is this can you put a cost on a really good night's
sleep yeah no Its as simple as that I think you've nailed it there I can't
stop looking at it so yeah I just want to go get on it just to get back into it
so we are really pleased to be able to say to you that that is money well spent
I would not hesitate to recommend the Duvalay mattress and they also have
loads of products they've got the bedding the toppers sleeping bags and I
also discovered after we left they do dog beds I didn't even know that and I
haven't told fudge yet because he might want one but they even do Duvalay
dog but and they do a little a dinky dinky Duvalay
for kids which is like a sleeping bag and duvet so you know everyone's a
winner so have a look on the website have a look if you go to the show and
pop along but Oh crikey I think we'll leave it there but that has absolutely
solved our problem of the ridiculous dip if you if you're a big chap look at one
of these these spring mattresses you will not regret that at all so as always
thanks for watching and we will catch you in the next one
