I just chatted on their website chat that they should consider a mattress for dogs for people that shop on the website for further expansion (apparently it has been mentioned before), woof, woof - pet owners surely would prefer a seperate mattress if their dogs jump on the 'world's most comfortable mattress' then they must never want to leave it anyway my message shall be passed onto Jas Bagniewski.

Just for the record, I have never personally held any position long/short yet.

Anyway, on their website they state -

16 nationalities represented at eve

35 Cups of coffee drunk today

79 Employees helping you sleep

1 Office dog

You'd have to be crazy to buy shares in this. Loss making and selling a product you can buy anywhere for half the price. I bet EVE is back to the market for more cash in under 2 years

Save yourself grief and leave EVE well alone

It would be good to see what their losses are.


Yesterdays coverage, after the trading update.

Is this fast-growing, Neil Woodford-backed small cap your ticket to an early retirement?
Ian Pierce | Wednesday, 12th July, 2017


On AIM, online mattress seller eve Sleep rose 0.5p to 95p after a solid first-half trading update as it grew revenues by 126% to £11.5 million.


A mattress maker which listed just two months ago revealed a mass roll-out at high-street staple Next’s home stores yesterday.

Eve Sleep, which is more than 20 per cent backed by star fund manager Neil Woodford, revealed its products would be in 55 stores by the end of the month after a successful trial at three sites.

Combined with its presence in selected Debenhams and Bentalls sites, the company’s products will now be stocked in 63 stores across the UK.

In an update for the first half of the year, Eve said revenue for the period rose by 126 per cent to £11.5million.
STOCK WATCH - WINDAR PHOTONICS

Shares at Windar Photonics rose by more than a tenth after the renewable energy firm reported rising turnover and falling costs.

The firm makes wind sensors for the operation of electricity-generating wind turbines.

It saw revenues in the first half of the year grow 62 per cent year-on-year to £1.2million.

This is also higher than last year’s total revenues of £1.1million.

Likewise, operational costs fell by nearly half to £890,000. Shares rose by 12.2 per cent, or 9p, to 82.5p.

Broker Peel Hunt, which currently has a ‘buy’ rating and a 135p price target on the firm, said its results were even better than it had expected. Shares rose 0.5 per cent, or 0.5p, to 95p.

Eve Sleep – Is this a Boohoo or an AO World? Tough call but it’s not a Boohoo
By Cynical Bear | Sunday 2 July 2017
Thought I’d write a few sleep-related pieces today and am starting with initiating coverage on the mattress e-tailer, Eve Sleep (EVE). The company joined AIM in May raising £35 million and there is a lot to like about the business, but is it really worth over £130 million?

Checking out foam mattresses
Wednesday, 23 Nov 2016 | 11:18 AM ET

We check out the online foam mattress companies promising sweet dreams – Casper, Leesa, and Tuft & Needle – to see if they’re worth the money, how they hold up to the quintessential “wine glass on a mattress” demo, and if you really can return them.


We bought mattresses from 3 different companies online, and here's what we found
*We ordered mattresses from three companies
