Company offers family €1,250 to go on three-day camping trip

US company Sleep Junkie is on the search for a family to head on a three-day camping trip to one of their favourite camping sites.

The mattress manufacturers will pay the family a whopping $1,500 (around €1,250) just to sleep.

The campaign is a part of Sleep Junkies new campaign as they try to learn more about the different ways sleep facilities boost outdoor sleep quality.

They also want to understand what outdoor factors can affect sleep.

They said they are willing to pay a family to sleep as "this information can help us in the long run."

This isn’t the first time the company have created a competition like this.

Earlier in the year, they ran a competition to find someone who was willing to test out their mattresses for a two month period.

The camping family will get paid the sum and have all their expenses covered to enjoy a family camping trip and a three-night stay at the “most stunning camping site OF YOUR CHOICE.”

The adults on the trip will be asked to compile a report on their family's sleeping experience at the campsite.

This will focus on what sleep facilities they brought, how the sleep aids helped with their outdoor sleep and how outdoor factors, such as temperature, sounds of the wild, humidity levels etc. affected their sleep.

To apply for this one-of-a-kind job, you must meet the following requirements:

· At least 21 years old

· Have fluent English

The position is not restricted to the US as the firm has invited “anyone in the world” to apply.

If you think that this job might be for you can apply through the Sleep Junkie website.

Applicants are asked to include a headshot and a link to a 60-second introduction video where you talk about your passion for the position and, of course, camping.

Sleep Junkie said: “This video is a wonderful opportunity to tell us why you and your family are the best candidates.

The company also ask that you provide links to your social media profile as well.

The closing date to apply is August 12, and the winner will be contacted two weeks after this.
