Certainly, it's not a sign that they are about to throw the towel in. And people applying to the role have got to be persuaded that eve will be a good career move for them. I wouldn't rush to join a ship with a gaping hole below the water line.

Argos has, apparently, sold 5 'Sleep Away' mattresses in the last 24 hrs since I last checked, despite 'Out of stock for delivery'. So must has been in stock at some branches around the country. It does seem to be a good seller and continues to be despite the economy.

Dontgive, you say campers might like one but I'm not sure about that market as there are lots of camping roll-out sleeping mats at Mountain Warehouse and Blacks etc. I could be wrong though, and camping seems popular.

I bet eve are racking their brains as I type on ways to expand the Sleep Away product range.. I'm inclined to think of a premium thicker version that would be more comfy to sleep on – but obviously larger to store.

When eve were having lots of delivery problems I suggested that they might consider 'what three words' as a delivery aid. https://what3words.com/pretty.needed.chill

I now see that Hermes / Evri have been using it since February.

Hermes / Evri do make some eve deliveries.

'This is not your typical awards...
Retail Gazette’s inaugural awards, The Game Changers, recognises the retailers that are paving the way for the rest - the businesses that are taking risks, blazing a trail, and finding new ways to delight and deliver for customers.

Eight categories. Free to enter. Free to attend. No black ties in sight.
"The Game Changers will be a different type of awards. No penguin suits or three-course meals, we’re laying on a party where you can have fun and really get to know the people who are changing the face of retail. We’re game, are you? "'

Eve 'Sleep-Away' wins but good to see the alternatives (which I was not aware of)

Timster, are you Rishi Sunak? With your new 'well-fall' tax on the dad?

Good question for Mark at M7, dontgive

Thanks Mr A; I was talking of new trials generally, not just AVA6000. When there are so many trials etc, which one, as a patient, would you get on to. And you could only be on one at a time presumably.

I can't quite pin it down but 'Sleep Away' mattress is now out of stock for delivery to me and out of sock at my nearest Argos (they did sell 2 in the last 24 hrs though).

And the same for
Eve Sleep Essential Hybrid Mattress - Single

Pillows are selling at Argos, but not really the big mattresses, though my checking 'system' could be flawed too.

There must be a constant flow of new trials of promising sounding treatments. I guess people can only be on one trial at a time. What a terrible dilemma. All of us here would jump at the chance of a place on the Ava6000 trial, if we were ill, and suitable. But for someone who knows nothing of us it must be hideous to choose what trial to take part in, hoping for a miracle but perhaps signing for a dud. And what if you got on the miracle drug trial only to be the one on the placebo.
All on top of being ‘end of life’.
(My mum ended up on a hospital ward and ‘end of life’ was written on sign on the way in. She lived there for 5 years as it turned out. )

Gone for me anyway..

I know talk-is-cheap but, fingers crossed...
'She then reflects on more recent successes, and divulges how eve sleep plans to continue home trial for all direct customers of evesleep.co.uk to the launch of the DFS partnership and a sponsorship of late nights on Channel 4, all of which will begin to drive stronger growth momentum over the remainder of the year,” she shares.'

Cheers Boonco, that's great.

I guess 12.30pm is the 'new' 7am when it comes to news from the FDA

So the FDA have cleared for metastatic breast cancer. How long before they clear for the next cancer.. and the one after that..

If it works for one type of cancer it must surely work for several, or many more, solid tumours. Do the FDA rule on each one, individually?

I'm surprised we aren't 'down' today. Looks like someone sold 500k shares today, and the same yesterday.

The people who outline the problems eve face are in the right if you look at the sp (so are right) but I do see it the way I describe. I hope I have some merit in my outlook and belief CC will sort things out.

https://www.secretleaders.com/episodes/after-his-startup-ipod-in-record-time-everything-fell-apart-with-eve-sleep-co-founder-kuba-wieczorek

Kuba's own words:

Eve Sleep co-founder Kuba Wieczorek
'Kuba founded DTC mattress company Eve Sleep in 2015 with his cousin Jas, and they quickly started experiencing explosive growth. Within just two years they’d raised £35 million and were valued at £140 million. To top it off, they IPOd in record breaking time. It was the stuff of fairytales. But the fairytale wasn’t to last.

“About six months after Jas left I hit rock bottom as well. You know, really rock bottom, I realised that it was either my health and my family, or staying at Eve, so I made the right choice. I resigned.'

(So CC is coping in what is a pretty tough role, and makes it look as though she enjoys it.)

because the old team would not have £4.5m in the bank now and would've gone bust two years ago. There wouldn't be an eve to partner with, I don't think. At the rate they were losing money they would not have been able to raise more cash or get credit. If we are down to the last £4m (as seems likely) it is only because CC has been careful, some would argue 'too careful' – but she's kept the show on the road. CC might get eve through 'zero cash' if she can convince people that eve are going to pull it around in time.

Just my view and could be wrong. My view on the old team is probably right though, otherwise they'd still be there.

So, looking at these expensive benefits..

Bring Your Pooch to Work - shouldn't cost eve much and yet makes a big difference to the owner. 'Take up'? ... Probably somewhere between zero and one dog..

Free Breakfast ... Few pounds in cereals, porridge and yoghurt. Cleaning costs of bowls (presumably by the cleaner) 'Take-up'... 50%? I bet half the people eat at home anyway and arrive at usual time. The people that do eat at work probably talk about work.

Team Building Days – pretty normal for many years.

25 Days Holiday, which increases each year and have your birthday off too!! - Is 25 days excessive? Birthday, yes, a perk.

Free Mattress and Pillow – Ok, they do cost a bit, as we know, but would you want your eve staff sleeping on an Emma or simba, then saying how good eves are?

Hybrid Working, Flexible Hours and you can do it in another country for 30 days a year. – Saves on office electricity. Saves money on free breakfasts (see above)

Healthcare – people still have to pay higher tax so probably not much take-up.

Wellness programs .. Ummm.

Enhanced maternity and paternity leave. I KNOW that that's helpful and brings loyalty.

Equipment allowance ? Don't really know what that is.

Cycle to work scheme. I'd make that compulsory. 100% take-up with me as CEO.

Discounted Shares. Gotta be good for the staff to push the business.

And if the old regime ('Bold but historic') were still in charge there'd never have been a new DFS partnership.

I have to say that the new Ginko light is not for for family Geeman, but each to their own, and great if they sell :)
