Is it as good as the hype?
Well, we Maxi has been using his Otty mattress and pillow since May and he is not the typical teenager when it comes to sleep. He is a lark and a lie in for him used to be 6.30am! The rest of us already have memory foam mattresses and love them, so the time had come to introduce him to one.
One of the great things about a memory foam mattress that its construction can reduce the development of pressure points on growing bodies without letting them overheat. The Otty also comes with a removable and washable cover for any accidental spills from drinks taken to bed (please tell me I am not the only one who finds crockery in their teens room).
This mattresses medium-level firmness is versatile and accommodates most sleepers and positions, which is especially ideal for teens, whose bodies, needs, and preferences change over time.
As for the pillows, as had to buy extra and we all have one now!
But how do you know when you need a new mattress?

I always have a book to read once settled in bed that always helps me drift off to sleep
The circulating of fresh air
nice warm bath and hot cup of coco before bed x
I use a diffuser with lavender oil to help me relax
What is your top tip for dealing with sleeplessness and insomnia?
Don’t lie in bed, get up, have a hot milky drink, bore yourself watching tv and only go back to bed when you are feeling sleepy again
A completely dark room
Lavender pillow spray, 🌸 my mattress is grotty I desperately need a new one! 😬
I find fresh sheets and lavender room spray helps.
I use a himalayan salt lamp for more ambient lighting, write everything that’s on my mind down so I can sleep with a clear mind and listen to relaxation music. No caffeine after 3pm – only decaf x
A hot bath before bed and a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow.
Go to bed earlier!
a good bed ,a dark room
Mattress looks amazing
I’ve suffered from insomnia for years so I like to unwind before bedtime, no tv or screen time 2 hours before bed, no caffeine after 3pm, nice hot bath and I love breathing and counting exercises. I also write down thoughts that pop in to my head and throw them in a bin I keep just for this lol XX
Putting a little bit of lavender essence on the inside of your pillowcase.
To brush your teeth early, so that you can go to sleep when the mood takes you, instead of having to get up and do that, risking waking yourself up too much.
A nice warm shower before bed.
Having a nice, warm bath (with plenty of bubbles) helps with dealing with sleeplessness.
i find it helps to get up if i wake in the night and get a drink or read for 5 minutes rather than just lying in bed willing myself to sleep
A few drops of pure lavender oil on your pillow helps a lot. Also, avoid alcohol before bedtime.
We have been meaning to buy a new mattress so this would be a perfect prize to win! Thank you.
Read a book before bed
Have a shower
I get insomnia quite a bit, but I have no idea how to completely cope aside from imagining my own house room by room lol! Or reading til my eyes can’t focus and i’m tired!!
THanks for the info. We are researching mattresses and specifically need one that’s cooling
Try to relax before going to bed , dont be tempted to pick your phone up if you cannot sleep
My teen would love this – changing her bed to a double soon when we revamp her room. Like a typical teen we cant get her put of her bed!
I find I sleep better when I’ve exercised in the early evening.
love the look of these mattresses, could never afford one so fingers crossed for winning!
I always find a soak in the bath helps me or reading will help me to feel sleepy.
No technology before bed – no browsing on your phone. I find that I can fall asleep easier as my brain is no longer so alert lol
I try to avoid any electronic devices and looking at my phone before bed
ive had sleep issues for years ive found lavender tea really helps me to relax
I need this mattress! (Also – do you know what the bed is in the otty pics. I love it)
Fresh air, the right amount of bedding, winding down before bedtime!
I get up and read for a bit with a hot drink and go back to bed when more sleepy.
Not using any electronic devices that emit blue light at least half an hour before bed really helps me to sleep more easily.
keep the room cool
No phone/laptop/ipad at least an hour before bedtime
Exercise and a hot bath always helps me. I like to have a bit of white noise to distract my overactive mind, so i use a CD with ambient sounds on a very low volume. Works for me anyway.
The main thing for me seems to be temperature – I’m nearly always too hot or too cold, so I’ve developed various methods over the years! A “warm” pillow and a “cool” pillow, both available to rotate through the night, plus a hot water bottle (sometimes two – one to hug and one down by my feet if necessary) that I put in the bed and move around in the 20mins or so before jumping in, so that warmth is evenly distributed, as well as a bottle of cool water by my bed to sip throughout the night because I often get thirsty, then of course the old fashioned just stick your feet outside the duvet if you get too hot! I also have a full bedtime yoga routine that I do in my pyjamas on my mattress last thing before going to sleep, which really stretches out my aches and pains, as well as relaxing me and making me feel quite sleepy (it’s a very gentle routine, all done sitting or lying down). So my general top tip for everyone would be the yoga!
My top tip is a good quality mattress but mine is 15 years old and not comfy so a new one would be fab
Get into a set routine and go to bed at about the same time every night, keep the room cool, I always relax by reading a book for a little while
Best tip would be not to marry an insomniac. My husband is always waking me up!
Definitely reading in bed, always relaxes me.
Create a restful sleeping environment
Your bedroom should be a peaceful place for rest and sleep. Temperature, lighting and noise should be controlled so that your bedroom environment helps you to fall (and stay) asleep.
Go take a hot bath it always relaxes me when I’m having a bad night
Ooh a lovely new mattress for a good nights sleep hopefully- or more comfortable when the youngest comes in !
Don’t use any electronic or mobile devices in bed. Switch them off before you get into bed and if possible, don’t have a television in the room where you are sleeping.
This mattress and pillows look amazing!!
Daily exercise
Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and cool and stick to a regular sleep schedule.
this looks so comfy. the pillows would be great for my neck problems too.
This would be a fantastic upgrade to my student accomodation, can come home after a long day of placement on the wards and feel a little bit more relaxed.
Turn off all mobiles, computers, tv and read in bed for about 30 minutes
Stop using technology at least an hour before bed time!
I use the Avon lavender spray which goes on my pillows, this helps me to feel relaxed and drift off to sleep.
No screens in the bedroom has helped me
Don’t use any screen for 1 hour before bed. If you cannot sleep get up and read a book rather than laying there tossing and turning
If I can’t sleep I read a book until I feel sleepy
Windows open at night in the heat
That mattress looks amazing, im in love
Dark room, window open for fresh air and my hot tip is stay off the internet at least a hour before, i didnt believe this and tried it out and it worked for me
Really make yourself tired – so often we go to bed without having physically exerted ourselves. Do something physical during the day!
Belly breathing. Breathe out for 7 seconds and in for 7 seconds. Keep repeating and it really helps to calm you down and fall asleep
No screens for at least an hour before sleep. I find reading a book immediately before sleep to be the best way to relax and promote restful sleep :o)
A nice hot vimpto does the trick for me .
I’m suffering with pregnancy insomnia and my tip is simply to let go of worries before bedtime as otherwise your mind is wide awake when you should be calming for a good night’s sleep!
No electronics an hour before bed, I have lavender body lotion from lush and a completely dark room
No screens for an hour or so before bed, a nice cool room and good curtains (& a good mattress too obvs😉)
A good routine, no screens before bed and, if you like reading before bed, read in another room rather than in bed.
Making the room so dark you literally see nothing.
A good routine, no screens before bed, and, if you like to read before bed, read in a separate room or an armchair in your bedroom rather than in bed. And if you’re still not asleep 40 minutes after switching the light out, get back up and do something boring in another room in dim light for half an hour and then try again. Oh, and don’t ‘try’ to go to sleep: the more you chase it, the further away it gets!
Ohhhh our bed for our giant evolving child just broke and this Otty bed sounds like the perfect solution! I sympathise as my firstborn wakes early and just is ALERT from 5am onwards and although people advised me that times would change her, nothing has! Up with the birds every day, reading away or being very noisy clattering making breakfast. No sleep for the wicked parents who had too many lie-ins years ago lol x
Sleep with window open, when wake listen to music to fall back to sleep
A nice bath, a cup of cocoa and make sure room isn’t too hot
Keep the room cool. And wax earplugs and white noise (played through speaker or bed headphones) if you live in a noisy location.
i try and have a hot chocolate or horlicks and read before bed as it helps me relax,i also try and get whatever is bothering me off my chest as stress makes me struggle to get to sleep
hot milk, a good book and fresh air
Nice bath
Nice hot chocolate and try and relax
i have discovered spacemasks. help me drift off.
Try not to have screens etc for an hour before bed, and if I really can’t sleep I make sure I don’t use my phone or I won’t ever get to sleep. I try to read a little bit more before settling again.
I try to meditate and do a body scan 😪
I usually get up and start doing the laundry…I quickly realise I’m just too tired for ironing 😉
Turn off all electronic devices an hour before bed
Don’t sleep with your phone under your pillow. Move it to the other side of the room because it’ll help stop you checking the time every 5 minutes and worrying about how little sleep you’re going to get!
I haven’t got any tips for a good nights sleep, because I haven’t had one in years , but a new mattress might help
My top tip if you can’t sleep is to get up and make a drink and then try again, I think getting up for a bit helps somehow x
A nice cup of herbal tea before bed usually does the trick for me
Theese look like incredibly comfortable mattresses, we are due a new one so will bare theese in mind!
no caffine after 10pm and soft background music work for me
no caffine or screens before bed and lavender spray on pillow
Good book and beer
I like to have a relaxing bath before bed and if I cannot sleep I try not to worry about it too much, as soon as I forget that I cannot sleep, I often drop off anyway!!!
The perfect for my 16 year old who has the loft bedroom – too hot in summer and too cold in winter, the pressure points which reduce the overheating would be great for him and his ever growing legs. The washable covers will keep it looking and smelling fresh too. Thanks for such a great giveaway.
A completely dark room and total silence
Lovely prize. A good nights sleep is so important
The sound of heavy rainfall helps me drift off
a hot bath,no screens an hour before bed and a very dark room
I find a completely dark room with no light helps me sleep.
A well ventilated room and a nice firm mattress
A quality mattress!
looks awesome
Using a Quality Mattress
Having them read a book etc always tires them out just right
Switch of phones, laptops & tablets etc at least an hour before bed. I’ve been doing that for more than a year and it’s made a huge difference.
Sleeplessness and insomnia are made worse by worrying about things that you need to do or about things that are happening around you. My top tips are:
1. Do anything that you can do before you go to bed rather than leaving it ’til another day, this way it won’t be on your mind for you to worry about.
2. if you know you need to do something specifically the next day, write yourself a note, either on your phone alarm or on paper stuck under your alarm clock. This way you can stop worrying that you will forget what you need to do.
3. If you’re not tired, don’t try to force it. By all means go to bed and get comfy but use your phone / tablet / kindle to read or play games until you are ready to put it down and drop off.
4. Don’t worry that your sleep pattern isn’t the same as other people’s. If you are a night owl but the other half is a lark, let them go to bed at a time to suit them and you go when you are tired. Lying in bed wide awake because you’re just not ready to drop off only gives you the opportunity to overthink things and worry about why you’re not sleeping.
A good read before bed.
like is beutiful
It means getting the right meds appropriate for yourself.
beutiful!
A hot cup of pepper mint tea has always sorted meout
If i am having a few nights on insomnia, then i spend a full day walking along a beach. The combination of gentle exercise and fresh sea air really works wonders
I read a book and ignore my gadgets completely.
Oooooh cosy !
i think its best to leave phone off avoid laptop etc before going to sleep and maybe a good book can help x
Looks so dreamy!
I suggest having a cool room and relaxing your mind by reading a book or zoneing out with the tv before going back to sleep.
Alcohol!

HOT BATH HOT MILK AND OPEN THE WINDOW FOR AIR CIRCULATION ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME
Have a set routine – go to bed the same time every night and read before bed.
Lovely
Use a meditation app – I swear by mine and it has helped soo many nights when I just can’t sleep.
Just this morning we were discussing the boys’ (lack of) sleep. They claim our bed is more comfortable (true). So we’ve promised them new mattresses. I think I’ll wait and see if we win this first before heading to the shops.
Bubble bath before bed and a warm drink, turn off all the technology and read a book to relax the mind
I wish I had the answer but certainly being completely comfortable helps. That means comfortable bed, comfortable sleepwear and comfortable environment.
The only thing that works for me is kicking my other half out & making him sleep in the spare room!
Wind down after switching off technology before trying to sleep
Having suffered with insomnia for a few years now i find that turning off all technology, tv’s, phones, laptops etc.. aswell as resting with comfy pillows and matress in a light and airy room does help in the sense that it clears your mind, and helps to relax your body. Also, particularly with the hot weather we’ve been having of late, i’ve found a fan in the room has helped me, it’s a lovely feeling having the cool air blow across my face, as i’ve lay there thinking happy thoughts of being on the deck of a cruise liner with the sea breeze blowing. 🙂
I use a lavender pillow spray and roll on balm before i go to sleep. I also drink a small cup of chamomile tea, before bed which helps me to sleep aswell
nice hot bath
Great prize!
This bed looks sheer bliss .nice and cosy ,id love one xxxx
Ditch the electronics before bed!! Leave your mobile out of reach out of the bedroom

I use lavender oil which I roll onto my pulse points to relax me naturally, for a better nights sleep.
We could do with a good nights sleep, been waiting a long time for a new mattress!!
I deal with it by watching TV till I fall asleep. Not the best plan but keeps you from thinking too much keeping you awake.
Great competition!
Dark room, no technology and surround yourself with relaxing scents, like lavender.
Try not to worry too much if you don’t sleep. Do something relaxing – listen to music.
I haven’t quite worked this out yet I am currently functioning on around 3-4hrs sleep a night perhaps a new mattress would help lol

Go to bed early and try to keep your mind clear of stress (easier said than done sometimes)
Don’t eat too late in the evening if possible!
A nice relaxing bath and a few glasses of wine
Would love one for my son!
I’m hoping the top tip would be this lovely mattress to help me out with my back. Great blog x great prize x
It really does sound a fabulous mattress & perfect for my back & it would be heaven compared to the 2nd hand mattress I currently sleep on, which I can feel every spring on : (

Looks so comfy. Need a new mattress and this would be ideal.
I usually go downstairs and have a walk around for a while and then sit and read until I feel sleepy!
I’d be curious as to whether this provides us with better sleep or not. It can’t be any worse than our current effort I suppose.
No phone before bed, snuggles help too!
keeping the room cool and dark is a must for me
Try to go to bed at the same time every night and don’t watch TV or look at your phone at least 2 hours before you go to bed.

Plenty of fresh air and excercise during the day.
I suffer quite badly with insomnia and have done for many years, but I find it helps me to get up and do something for a while instead of lying in bed becoming more and more frustrated because I can’t sleep.
Make sure the room is dark and keep a window open for fresh air.
Have a hot bath, candles and some oils to relax you
dont have your radiators turned up too high, being too hot can cause problems sleeping. Also if you are having trouble sleeping, don’t just think to yourself ill give it a little bit more time, get up and have a warm caffeine free drink
I imagine I’m going to the gym and exercising. I fall asleep quite quickly!
If i can’t sleep, i always go for a warm shower and pretty much fall asleep straight away.
I heard about a lotion from Lush called Sleepy, I’m currently using a free sample. Just run it on your chest as you would Vicks when you have a cold. It’s not a miracle cute but it’s certainly helped me
I find if I get in plenty of fresh air and exercise into my day I sleep solidly. Miss either and I toss and turn all night 🙂
A glass of water and stretch before climbing into bed.
Seek advice from your doctor.
Looks interesting
Reading a good book always works for me!
Turn off everything electrical at least half an hour before going to bed have a hot relaxing drink . When suffering from Insomnia try a capsule of karvol on a tissue n and leave by the side of the bed , its soothing scent will relax you more and before you know you’re asleep .
A hot bath, then a cup of tea and a good book!
I tend to just have a cup of tea, making sure that I don’t look at any bright lights while doing so (This includes tv, phone etc).
Make sure your room is well ventilated.
having nothing to worry about would probably be good but I doubt that’s going to happen…
Anxiety and depression do not lead to a good nights sleep I can tell you 😐 but a new mattress would definitely be a start!
A nice hot bubble bath and hot chocolate just before bedtime to help you unwind
Have a ‘worry book’ by the side of your bed and write in it if you find yourself awake at 3am in the morning.
Plenty of fresh air in the room and darkness help.
I make sure my bed is as comfortable as I can make it. I have a warm bath and a glass of warm milk before bed. No phones in the bedroom.
I suffer quite bad with insomnia and it can be a real pain, it’s taken me over 4 hours to get to sleep before! I tend to get out of bed and go sit on the sofa in silence for 20 minutes with a glass of water and that usually helps me get off to sleep when I go back up to bed.
Hot bath, warm milky drink and NO alcohol.
I just lie in bed and think nice thoughts
A warm bath usually does the trick for me
Haven’t found it yet! I tend to read until I can’t see straight anymore, then I fall to sleep. Which is why I’m looking at a new matress & pillows 🙂
I sleep with an eye shade and ear plugs
My son would love one of these! He really struggles to fall asleep.
This is one of the best prizes ever; I would love to try out the Otty mattress, as I have heard so much about it; It would be absolutely great to win – BRILLIANT PRIZE!

Read a good book before finally turning off the light and keep the room dark.
A nice warm bath, or doing something that isn’t staring at a screen and is relaxing.
I always spray my pillow with lavender spray and put any electronics down for at least half an hour before i,m asleep.
I don’t sleep a lot as my mattress is awful so this would be amazing to win. My tips would be though lavender pillow spray to relax better, read instead of tele and if in doubt count sheep
Don’t eat after 7pm, no coffe or caffeine drinks in the evening.
read for 45 mins beforehand to try to induce the body into a sense of tiredness
Could use a new mattress set. Helps sleep better
Discover the cause, if you can. My insomnia is down to anxiety and I take ages to fall asleep, then wake up panicking about something and that’s it, I’m awake. I find meditation and listening to calming sounds has helped me.
I’ve never tried memory foam before, but it looks very comfortable. Thank you for the chance to win.
i would love to win this. Thanks for the opportunity.
My top tip would be to have a warm bubble bath, make sure you have clean nightwear and fresh bed linen, a few drops of lavender essential oil on the pillow and a good book to read a chapter or two of.
Have a nice warm bubble bath!
I have Anxiety and recently have been diagnosed with Depression, due to family issues These are two of my most common causes of chronic sleeplessness. My stress, anger, worry, anxiousness, and negative thoughts have a dramatic effect on my sleep quality.

Fresh bed sheets always a winner!
A VERY HOT SHOWER.
Lavender essential oils, a cool room and ocean/rain noises on a speaker – diagnosed insomniac!

Dаddy said with a teasing smile. ?It?s that he sent Jesus to die for us
and giᴠe us life perρetually and eｖer and that due to that well be a family in heaven for thousands and thousands of years.
That?s pretty good isnt it?
No drinks and no gadgets on within an hour of going to bed. This always seems to help us.
What is your top tip for dealing with sleeplessness and insomnia?
There’s an old army trick where you actively focus on rolling your eyes up slightly (naturally happens when you get to rem sleep). This can put me out in less than a minute if I’m ready.
I never have a problem sleeping
turn off all electronics at least an hour before bed to help our brain wind down
I frequently have insomnia and restlessness so I use lots of methods to try and get some sleep! I use essential oils, incense and meditation along with mindfulness.
Pair of eye covers helps enormously.
A completely dark room with the radio on very low on a timer
I could do with some tips myself – I have terrible insomnia, haven’t slept properly for years
Bath and warm milky drink before bed
Deep relaxation exercises can help you unwind
So ready for for a new matress
Read a book before bed
Always have a bit of fresh air , read before sleep not watch tv or use gadgets !!!
No screens for at least an hour before bed and I use a pillow spray and I find it really helps
Leave the electronic devices out of the bedroom
If I can’t sleep I try a relaxation exercise where I think of every part of my body, ie little finger, 2nd finger, 3rd finger, 4th finger, thumb, wrist…… always works
I find a routine really helps. Even at weekends, otherwise it throws the whole thing out the window! I have had short periods of insomnia so I know how awful it is but usually, I’m out like a light within minutes.
Try relaxing rituals before bed and start them at least an hour before you get in to bed.

Put your phone/iPad etc down an hour or two before bedtime. Easier said than done but it definitely helps calm your mind and therefore helps you fall asleep faster as your mind isn’t buzzing as much.

My top tip for a good night’s sleep is to deal with your worries by either talking to someone or writing them down to help rationalise your thoughts and get them out of your head before you attempt to go to sleep.
To read a book or try to relax and not worry that you can’t sleep

I actually can’t sleep unless I’m listening to something, otherwise I start overthinking, so for me it’s got to be listening or watching a series.
Put down the screens and pick up a good, old fashioned, book to read before bed.
I think a good routine helps. I don’t have one, by the way! But when my kids are in a good routine they sleep much better. Perhaps I should follow their example!?!
I find room temperature is really important for helping me get a good nights sleep. I sleep with a fan on and I find a mixture of the cool air and the gentle whirring noise very therapeutic.
No phones/laptops etc for at least 30mins before bed! Spend time reading instead
