Very Good Mattress.

published

Our old mattress was due for an upgrade as my husband was experiencing discomfort sleeping. The sleeping duck was surprisingly warm and cosy compared to our old mattress. We only have a queen bed but it has the feel of a king size. Very satisfied with our purchase. Cheers.

Purchased in January 2021 for $1,499.00.

Old mattress cost me $5k. Had a back issue and had to sleep on the floor, no padding. The Duck is brilliant. Congrats for changing the model and brilliant value

Excellent comfort and support

published

This mattress is perfect for my bad back. I no longer spend the whole night tossing and turning trying to get comfortable, now I just sleep and wake up refreshed. The mattress is soft yet very supportive it is like floating on the top of the water in a swimming pool. It is the best mattress I have ever slept on.

Sleep perfect with a comfortable awakening happy and rested

published

I am a side sleeper and used to have neck and leg pains. Both disappear after using Sleeping Duck. The foam is firm and soft at the same time and perfectly blended. As for temperature, it is neither cold nor hot and maintains body temperature during the night. It is really great for sleeping.
The overall rate is not excellent because of the edges of the mattress. I usually spend time sitting before sleeping and after waking up and in less than 2 months the edges already start to sag and form depressions.

My sleep quality is improved and my hip pain has vanished after 10 years.

Best nights sleep in years. No more aching hips and back. Well worth the money.

Mattress is very supportive and comfortable. I no longer wake with hip and back pain. Although I’ve only had the mattress a short time there are no signs of it losing shape or firmness. Would highly recommend.

A mattress from heaven

I researched our new mattress and went with sleeping duck because it’s Australian made and the before and after sale service is really good. The sleeping duck mattress we have now is possibly better than we could have expected and the service team exceeded our expectations

Great Mattress

published

When we first got it i wasnt sure how good a mattress rolled up in a box would be. We got the firm mattress which is great for us, wouldn't want to go any softer than that. (would even like it a little firmer to be honest). I have some lower back pain that was just awful when getting up in the morning with our old mattress, sleeping on the duck seems to have greatly improved that pain. We have only had it for approx 6 weeks and so far so good. No sagging as of yet, I am interested to see how long it lasts. Great customer service. Would definately recommend this mattress although it does take a few weeks to break in and get used to so stick with it if at first your not sure about it.

I found the Sleeping Duck foam is not hot at all like other memory foams. The same goes for the pillows. A very happy purchase. I have been recommending this to all my mates and co-workers.

Questions & Answers

Annasked

Firm King Single

Can you use a Woolen underlay with the matress

3 answers
JasB
JasB

Hi Ann. I don’t see why not. We had a mattress comforter to make our previous tempur more plush. We thought it might add extra heat to the sleeping duck but we tried it with and without and there was no difference that we could tell. So now we have that and a lightweight mattress protector on there. I love the feel of plushness but excellent support.

Wayne DeLuca

I can't see why you couldn't. We use a Bamboo cotton mattress overlay protector and that is fine. I would recommend the Sleeping Duck mattress, great value for money, very comfortable with excellent support.

Sleeping Duck
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

Hi Ann,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your question.

We are confident in our ability to get you comfortable through the customisation of the firmness layers. We recommend gaging the feel of your Duck initially without an underlay. However, you can absolutely use a woollen underlay if you would like to!

It's always good to keep in mind that any additional layers may cause some heat retention and could change the overall comfort of your Duck.

Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck

Firm Queen

We find the sheets keep slipping off. What are we doing wrong? Comfortable otherwise. Could it be the mattress protector? We bought several new pairs of organic cotton sheets with deep wall on fitted sheets I.e. 50 cm.

Hi Em!

Thanks for taking the time to get in touch.

We tend to get this kind of feedback from people who are more on the 'restless sleeper' side of things.

For example, we manufacture our Sleeping Duck sheets to be a little deeper (39cm) to ensure that they fit the depth of our mattress which is 31cm. However, I'm sure this extra length could potentially assist in the sheets wriggling upwards throughout the night - which I can understand would be a tad frustrating.

I would recommend ensuring that the sheets have been completely fitted over the sides of the mattress.

Let us know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else our team can assist you with.

Kindest Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck :)

Em.

thanks but that's not really practical when one has arthritis and the mattress weighs heavy. I sleep well despite this and never have any neck or back aches.... that's the most important quality! I might try a less slippery mattress protector and see if that helps.

Randajaasked

Firm Queen

I would like to use my existing base. It has wooden slats 7 cm wide and about 11 cm apart. They are covered with some material which provides a little bit of padding over the slats. Are there any problems using an existing base?

2 answers
Sleeping Duck
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

Hi Randaja,

Thanks for your enquiry!

Our mattress can be used on an existing base, given that it does meet our requirements in terms of the structure and centre support to ensure the mattress will uphold the 10 year longevity.

If you have a slatted bed base, you need to ensure the slats aren't anymore than 8cm apart. Queen and King sizes also require adequate centre support.

To find out more about what this means you can find diagrams and descriptions on the Warranty Page (https://www.sleepingduck.com/au/warranty/) on our website.

If you are unsure, feel free to send through some photos to [email protected] and we will be happy to have a further look into it.

Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
