A big improvement in comfortable sleep
We chose the medium top on our mattress and this seems to be the best option for us. I broke my right shoulder some time ago and this mattress allows me to sleep on my right side. The shape of the mattress has not changed. It looks the same as the day it was installed.

Love a duck!
We love our firm, king size Sleeping Duck mattress. No longer are we waking each other up when one of us gets out of bed. I find I toss and turn less and we have plenty of space to stretch out. We haven't experienced any sagging, and this is the first mattress I've ever had that's heavy enough to stop me pulling the sheets out from the bottom of the bed. We totally recommend getting a Sleeping Duck, and we appreciated that if we didn't like it after three weeks, it would be collected free of charge and donated to a good cause.

We love our Ducks as well Morgan!
Your Duck's 5 zone pocket spring design enable us to design two separate sleep zones, ensuring that disturbance from the other side of the bed is absolutely minimised.... Read more
We've also made sure that the outer edge of our mattress receives the utmost support, meaning it won't feel as though the outer edges are falling away as you sleep closer to the side. This can be an issue with full foam mattresses, but our reinforced edges means you can use the full surface to sleep in, avoiding any potential stray limbs! Thanks for spreading the word.

Combining our specially designed open-cell foams, the ventilation of our pocket spring layer, and that breathable bamboo cover really has helped find that middle ground between the benefits of spring and foam mattresses.

So far so good -+ a great addition to the bedroom
Our new SD Queen mattress is very comfortable and supportive - highlighting how bad our old mattress had got. Both my wife's and my neck, back, shoulder complaints have eased significantly. Can SD do pillows?!
Our sleep quality is much improved with less waking moments and more restful sleeps. While we might not want to get out of bed in the morning it is much easier now being better rested!
Time will tell if we get years of great mattress performance but so far so good!

Best sleep for years!
From the moment we opened the new Duck and laid it on the bed our nights have never been better. So comfy and restful - we wake up feeling rested. It's a bonus not to have the bed move as your partner stirs through the night - I could be up and down through the night and not disturb the sleeping beauty next to me. So happy with my new Duck:)

Comfort factor - 10!
I'd give it a 10 for comfort.
As a person with quite a bit of neuro pain due to MS I have noticed a significant reduction in the level of pain.
I now sleep in blocks of several hours at a time whereas previously I was waking almost hourly to turn over due to hip pain.
Its early days but so far it has retained it shape and firmness.

Why did I wait so long?
From the first night I knew I’d made the right choice. The Sleeping Duck mattress is the most comfortable and supportive mattress I’ve ever slept on. I am finding I’m sleeping longer and feeling refreshed every morning, I’ve even bought a second Sleeping Duck mattress for my 12 year old grandson because the right mattress is so important for children in their growing years.

Everyone is slightly different in how they sleep, so even if someone isn't lucky enough to find their fit immediately as you did, we still have the ability to customise a Duck to your heart's content.

Much better than my koala
Myself and my partner initially bought a koala as the sleeping duck was out of stock. After a week, we both felt like we weren't sleeping on a bed. We checked back into sleeping duck and found that they replenished their stock and bought one asap. That first night was probably the best night of sleep we've ever had!

Not if you have a bad back
I trialled the mattress with both the soft and hard foam. I woke up sore after sleeping on either foam. The springs did not give my back enough support.
Also be careful sleeping on this bed until the mattress has fully decompressed, probably around 2 weeks. Even though the instruction is that the mattress can be slept on after six hours, if you have a back problem this will only stir up your back.
However the customer service was excellent and I had no trouble returning the mattress and pillows when I request to do so

Thanks for the feedback Ilana.
Even though it didn't work out with your Duck, we appreciate your kind words about our team.... Read more
When this is the case, we always try to make the returns and refund process as painless as possible. You are correct that we do have a recommended adjustment period with regards to changing around their level of firmness. This period gives the mattress time to fully decompress, and reach its true, perfect level of firmness and consistency. Everyone's a little different, so will react in different ways to the firmness of their Duck at this early stage in its lifespan. Although we only offer our Medium and Firm levels of firmness at the point of purchase, we do then offer both Soft and Extra-Firm levels of firmness as added options under that 100 night guarantee. This can help us cater to those who need either extra support (such as for their back), or more give and comfort. Additionally, for those on our Queen and King Ducks, once a customer's tried a number of different firmnesses we have the ability to combine a couple of different level in order to balance different areas of the body that may have some different needs.

Thanks for the review Paul.
Any time you struggle with your back finding some restful sleep does become vital, so we're ecstatic that you're finding that perfect mix of comfort and support.... Read more
All of our levels of firmness utilise our Hyper-Adaptive foam as their top layer, so even the firm provides that initial cloud-like comfort as you sink into the surface. It then supplies the necessary support to keep your back well positioned over the course of the night, helping you wake up without that soreness to start the day. We also appreciate the positive feedback regarding your interactions with our team. It means a lot, and we'll be sure to pass it on. Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

It's also inherently tricky to balance the comfort and customisation foam layers provide with the heat that traditionally comes with foam mattresses. We've specifically designed our own proprietary foams to make them as cool as possible, and combined them with the ventilation of our pocket spring and breathability of our bamboo mattress cover to strike that perfect balance.

We can sleep in the same bed again!
My husband likes a firm matress and I like soft. Recently we both found we were aching after a night in the same bed ( no funny business, just aging joints). Friends recommended sleeping duck, the price was reasonable so we purchased a half n half. Bliss, medium for me, firm for him. We wake with less aches, able to bed out of bed with difficulty. Only

Our whole experience with the mattress has been 100% positive. The ordering process was simple, delivery was speedy, communication throughout has been outstanding - and the icing on the cake is the mattress is really comfortable. We're sleeping better, waking up without aches and pains, and just enjoying the comfort level a good quality mattress provides.

Hi Karen!
We are fully aware of how difficult it can be to find the right combination of comfort and support for those areas of the body that are so prone to aches and pains.... Read more
There is always a bit of a trade off when looking at the comfort and customisability that significant amount of foam layers provide, especially when compared to a traditional spring mattress. We have designed our foam to be as breathable as possible in order to minimise the heat trapped beneath you as you doze off, but everyone is a little different and sleeps at different temperatures. We're glad you're still finding your Duck to be a wonderful place to sleep, and appreciate you spreading the word! Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great value mattress
We are very happy with our Sleeping Duck Mattress. After looking around at other mattresses on the market and after reading the reviews on Sleeping Duck, we decided to give it a try (safe in the knowledge that with the 100 day satisfaction warranty we could return it if we weren’t happy with. Well we are extremely happy all round, very comfortable and extremely good value.

We're glad that your faith demonstrated by giving the Duck a try has been rewarded.... Read more
You're absolutely correct that there is always our 100 night guarantee to fall back on. Just as important as that ability to return your mattress for a full refund should it not work out, is the option to swap around your firmness within these first 100 nights. This allows us to find a particular set-up that works for you. We'd encourage everyone on a Duck to try another level of firmness if they're even just a little bit curious about it!

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions about Sleeping Duck Mattress
How do I order a Sleeping Duck Mattress? Where do they deliver?
Sleeping Duck mattresses can be ordered online, and can be delivered to most Australian locations. They also have a limited selection of retail locations. You can order a Sleeping Duck mattress online from their online store (sleepingduck.com/au).
What does a Half-Half mean with a Sleeping Duck Mattress?
Sleeping Duck mattresses are customisable from the factory, meaning that different segments of the mattress can be softer or firmer to your preference. A Half-Half mattress means that one half of the mattress is medium, while the other half is firm. Contact Sleeping Duck at 1800 667 196 for more information.
How warm does a Sleeping Duck Mattress get?
As a hybrid mattress, the warmth of a Sleeping Duck mattress is generally between a spring-based mattress and a foam-based mattress. If you feel too warm, changing the fabric type of your bed sheet or fitted sheet can help.
Can I use with an electric blanket with a Sleeping Duck Mattress?
Sleeping Duck have stated that you can safely use an electric blanket with their mattresses. However, as sustained heat sources can soften memory foam, Sleeping Duck recommends that you only turn on your electric blanket for a couple of hours before you go to sleep.
Can I comfortably sleep on my side with a Sleeping Duck Mattress?
A Sleeping Duck mattress can be used with most sleep preferences, including with sleeping on your side. Side sleepers may mostly prefer the medium firmness configuration for their mattress.
Latest Consumer Questions
Seanasked
Where exactly is the latex? Is it a seperate layer/sheet on the top layer or is it embedded somewhere else?
2 answers
The foam layers are in the comfort layer on top of the mattress.
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck
Thanks for the question Sean.
There is no latex contained in any current Sleeping Ducks. The two foam layers present in our Ducks utilise our own proprietary foams, both of which are made of polyurethane. These foams are expanded using pressure, rather than via chemical reaction.
Their open-cell design helps keep these layers 8x more open than regular foams, making them far more breathable.
As Kris alluded to these foams make up the top sections of a Sleeping Duck. They're enclosed within our bamboo mattress protector that acts as the very top surface of the mattress, and sit above the pocket spring layer.
Our Hyper-Adaptive foam makes up the top foam layer. Providing that initial cloud-like impact, it combines the pressure relieving properties of memory foam with the buoyancy of latex.
Sitting below the Hyper-Adaptive layer is our customisable High Density Foam. The foam on this layer dictates the overall level of firmness of the mattress. It can be easily removed and swapped out for other High Density Foam inserts, allowing us to alter the level of firmness of a Duck, even after it's hatched!
Kind regards,
Team Sleeping Duck

Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck
Thanks for the questions Helena.
The bamboo mattress cover which makes up the top of your Duck is indeed machine washable. For any minor stains we would recommend a local, hand spot wash.
For a machine wash, we'd recommend using a cold, gentle, low spin cycle and drying it flat in the shade. Try to avoid machine washing this cover any more frequently than every 6 months.

Hi Roz,
We do tend to recommend that side sleepers initially try our Medium of firmness, as the added give and comfort can help ease some of the issues that come with sleeping on your side (such as joint pain or pressure point problems).... Read more
It can be especially tricky when dealing with a serious issue such as your shoulder, so it's good to hear that the Medium has provided this benefit. Your Duck's pocket spring layer ensures that even with the added give from your Medium foams, you'll still receive the necessary support when sleeping. Additionally, its two foam layers working in concert with these pocket springs will keep your Sleeping Duck looking shipshape for its full lifespan. Kind regards, Team Sleeping Duck
