Persons could get paid to lie down

Brits could be paid to stay in bed all day. The luxury bed firm Crafted Beds is advertising a role for a mattress tester, who will earn £24,000 to laze around in one of their creations.

The company has revealed that the lucky new employee will be provided with a new, high-quality mattress to test each week, and applications are only open to those from the UK. Brian Dillon, marketing manager at Crafted Beds, said: “We’re extremely excited to launch this role as customer satisfaction means the utmost to us. “Whilst we have glowing reviews from our existing shoppers, we want to ensure that this continues, and hiring a mattress tester is a part of this strategy. This role will be an integral part of the Crafted Beds team.”

The candidate will be asked to deliver a weekly written report about each new mattress, which will be shipped to the tester’s home by the company.
