I can not finish my book....

published

The mattress is so comfortable that I fall asleep faster than I am planning. A nano-nap turns into a siesta and I can never get to the end of the page before I set down my book and close my eyes.

I wake up refreshed and feeling younger than I have in decades.

I have not had the mattress long but will be happy to update you about durability next year.



Thank you Sleeping Duzzzzzz......

Sleeping Duck Quality, Delivery, Follow up.

published

Quality is very good, the delivery was fast and technological superiority to competitors, and you are amazed what comes out of the box, and then what it transforms into, then the follow upz was brilliant, from the query of satisfaction to the free delivery of additional firm panels to allow my side to be firmer than partners. Nailed it.

Ticks all the boxes.

published

Was influenced by the Choice reviews, recommendations of friends and a test at their showroom in Abbotsford in Melbourne.
Have now had the mattress for 6 weeks.
Could not be happier with the sleep experience.
My wife had been experiencing back and neck issues in the old bed but these have disappeared.
I went for firm and my wife for medium - a real benefit of this mattress.
Also went from an old queen size to a king size which has proven to be a real boon. The extra space is fantastic.
Was warned upfront about the weight of the box - about 60kgs. It was certainly a challenge to get it up the stairs to our bedroom but the actual installation was easy.
Too early to say how durable it will be but reassured by the Choice testing in this regard.

I was concerned choosing the medium and not the firm but that was unfounded as the medium is perfect for me and my back which had given me sleepless nights an discomfort getting out of bed I am very happy with my choice

Best sleep in years

published

I have had many spinal operations and have struggled to find a mattress that is supportive and comfortable until I purchased the Sleepy Duck mattress, it let's me sleep on my side and follows the shape of my body to support my entire body rather than just my shoulders and hips like so many other mattresses I have used before.

Great experience overall

published

Did quite a bit of research/comparison prior to purchase, had no idea how big the mattress market is.
Took a punt on 'the Duck' due to positive feedback online. Admit to being concerned about not being able to lie on their mattress in a showroom prior to buying but with money-back guarantee had nothing to lose.
From time of purchase communication was excellent. Text notifications advising every step/progress. Mattress arrived 3 days after purchase (we live in regional Qld). Proof is in the pudding, it's very comfy & we have no regrets at all. We bought a medium, at first thought it felt a little 'soft' but that proved to be the top latex layer, not the firmness of the mattress. Thoroughly recommend.

Mattress is comfy and helped me with a sore back. Rotating it regularly just in case and keeps it's shape well. Might even get one for the spare bed so visitors can have a super comfy sleep as well.

Amazing!

published

I was hesitant at first at buying a mattress in a box, but figured with the 100 day trial I had nothing to lose, whereas buying from a shop you are stuck with what you get. The sleeping duck arrived very quickly and the quality is great. I have a bad back and have had no issues since sleeping on this mattress and have had the best sleep every night. It is extremely comfortable and the medium firmness is just right. I love this mattress and will definitely be buying another one for the spare room when the time comes!

It's Probably Weird How Much I Love This Mattress

published

I was having issues with a sore back and hips with my old mattress and after five or so nights on the Sleeping Duck they are no longer a problem. My only issue now is wanting to sleep in all the time. I'm glad I went with the firm, soft would have had too much give for me. I sleep in every position imaginable if that's of any help to anyone. It retains a bit of heat compared to my old standard spring mattress but nothing extreme and I definitely wouldn't reconsider the purchase because of it.

Shipping was quick (to rural NSW), unpacking was easy. I've had it about seven weeks now and there's no evidence of sagging. So glad I finally bit the bullet after a year of procrastinating on buying a new mattress.

A good night's sleep

published

I bought this after reading all the positive reviews. Ordering and delivery was easy. It IS a very heavy package! Mattress had a plasticky smell as many have already reported, but it dissipated within a few hours with my ceiling fan turned on.
I had ordered a hard mattress but after 3 weeks is was becoming too uncomfortable, so phoned up to switch to medium instead. The replacement process was just as easy, and now I can finally have a decent night's sleep!

Very Comfortable - not too hard & not too soft. I have been sleeping through the night, waking up fresh. Would usually get the odd stiff neck from my sleeping position but i have not encountered this as of yet.
Very Happy!

The last six weeks have been the best sleep of my life

published

I never realised how truly awful my old mattress was until I slept on my Sleeping Duck mattress. I genuinely thought my old mattress was good. I was wrong, the sleeping duck is absolutely perfect. I now choose to do activities like reading while sitting in bed because it is just so perfectly firm and comfortable. I am sleeping more soundly, and falling asleep a lot faster. Lazy Saturday mornings in bed have come back into my life because I’m so comfortable I never want to leave it.
Staff were very helpful too, they let me change my delivery at the last date so it would arrive the same day as my bed frame.

Get yourself a sleeping duck mattress!

published

Thanks to Choice’s rating I’m in absolute heaven. Best thing I did. Ordered the firm mattress and it was too firm. Swapped to the medium and now I’m Goldilocks!! Perfect! And the service was outstanding! If I had bought a mattress from elsewhere there’s no way they would have swapped it. Thanks Sleeping Duck.

So comfy

Having the best sleeps so far. Seems to be good quality - already looking forward to going to bed tonight. Would definitely recommend. Only thing that I would improve is I should have asked delivery person to carry upstairs for me as was very heavy.

Great product, great company.

published

Both the product and the company are first class. We took delivery of our new mattress about 6 weeks ago. I ordered it online on Saturday night and it was delivered on the Monday morning. The website is one of the easiest to use that I have seen. We were regularly contacted by text both before and after the delivery to make sure we were completely happy.

The mattress is very comfortable. We chose the half/half option to suit our personal sleeping habits.

Watching the mattress take shape after removing it from the box is almost worth the purchase price on its own.

Very Happy; great comfort for an ailing back!

We have only had the mattress for 2 weeks, but so far very happy with it. My back is less stiff in the mornings compared to all previous matresses and I like the firmness; I have firm and my wife medium, which she likes.

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.

We have a queen mattress and we love it but all our fitted sheets continually come off. We purchased the Sleeping Duck sheets and we still have the same problem. Has anyone had the same problem and if so have you got a solution.

Hi Damien,
Thanks for getting in touch!

We’re sorry to hear that you are having some issues with your sheets.

If you’re concerned about your linen coming untucked, we tend to recommend fitted sheets and protectors with a depth of 35-40cm. This should give the sheets just the right material, even for restless sleepers.

It should ensure less of a struggle to get the sheets on and tucked under nicely.

If you’re really struggling to get the right fit, always feel free to reach out and talk it through with our team.

Kind regards,
Team Sleeping Duck

I don't think you will find any mattress made in Australia, except koala. Considering a mattress should be with you for 10-15 yrs, I suggest not basing your buying decision on that point.

Hi Diana!

The steel springs that we use in the pocket spring layer of our mattress are manufactured in China (as are the fabric parts of the mattress).

Both the Hyper-Adaptive foam layer, and the foam used in our customisable comfort layer are made using a local manufacturer in Sydney.

The mattresses are then assembled in China and shipped to us here in Melbourne.
