A big improvement in comfortable sleep

published

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.

Fantastic, so completely happy with this mattress. My 90 year old Dad bought this mattress for himself and it has reinvigorated his state of mind and body. He looks forward to having a great sleep every night.

Love a duck!

published

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.

Purchased in November 2021 at Sleeping Duck Online for $1,300.00.

So far so good -+ a great addition to the bedroom

published

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!

published

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!

published

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?

published

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.

Purchased in January 2021.

Much better than my koala

published

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

published

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

Great for bad backs.

My husband and I both have bad backs and Sleeping Duck mattress helps with support. The half -half option is perfect. I have medium and he has firm but there's no way either of us could sleep on the other. We are very happy with our purchase.

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.

The mattress has been fabulously comfortable and helpful for our aging aching hips, shoulders and backs. I do feel it is a bit hotter to sleep in though would still Highly recommend.

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.

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
Kris
Kris

The foam layers are in the comfort layer on top of the mattress.

Sleeping Duck
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

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.

Kind regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
