Very Good Mattress.
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.

Excellent!!
Our new Sleeping Duck mattress & base arrived on Feb 28. I had spent quite a bit of time checking reviews and recommendations before buying a Sleeping Duck. Our previous mattress was a high quality mattress that had lasted for many years, but had been sagging lately.
The delivery was 1 day after we lodged the order. When the mattress arrived, I was surprised at how small it seemed. The assembly instructions are clear and assembly is relatively easy. When I cut the packaging (carefully) from the compressed mattress, the expansion was impressiv...Read more

Excellent comfort and support
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
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.

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.

The mattress is extremely supportive and very comfortable. I suffer from low back pain and since purchasing, I no longer wake with a sore back each morning.
Two months in, there has been no change in the mattress shape.

Great Mattress
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 am very impressed and would definitely recommend it
I have the base and mattress which was very easily assembled with two people

Absolutely impressed by Sleeping Duck
We love our new mattress. It’s so comfortable. We’d been advised that firm was best for us and it’s perfect. It feels slightly softer than a standard firm mattress but gives you all the support you need with a nice cushioning effect. And the advice, service and after sales commitment from Sleeping Duck has restored our faith in business. Honestly we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I have recommended them to all our friends!

A very comfortable and supportive mattress. Ordering and delivery is simple and fast. In fact the mattress was out of stock but came much earlier than expected. So simple to set up. And being able to return if you are not happy is a great way to try it out. We will keep ours!

So Comfy !
Have had this mattress for about 8 weeks and loved it right from the first night, still loving now. I used to get up in the morning with aching lower back but I haven't experienced any of this since sleeping on the Sleeping Duck. We also purchased the pillows and will probably have to get another as mine has mysteriously made its way to another bedroom in the house.
I totally recommend this bed, and pillow. The peace of mind knowing you can return it if you're not happy is a comfort as I have had the experience of purchasing a bad mattress.

After researching your product I thought “why not”.Glad I did.
The medium version seemed a bit soft and was a bit warm to
sleep on.Although it was past the 100 days you sent me firm
foam inserts at no cost to me.Great Customer Service!
Problems solved.Great value for money for sure.I enthusiastically
recommend these to anyone.Cheers,Johnno.

Best mattress I've owned.
Great mattress. Really happy with the firm in a Queen. Supportive without being too hard.
As a mostly back sleeper I don't suffer when turning onto the side or stomach.
Been using for about 6 weeks. So far so good.

Cheers Drewe.
A lot of us here at Sleeping Duck are combo sleepers as well, so we also love that particular mix between comfort and support that our Firm provides!... Read more
The Firm's added resistance deeper in the mattress gives you the support required to cater to back sleeping, while the the Hyper-Adaptive foam that makes up the top foam layer of all our Ducks enables necessary comfort and give to deal with any potential pressure point and joint issues. Combining this with the pocket spring layer at the very bottom of the mattress then gives you an added element of tailored support, to go along with that customisable comfort of the foams sitting above it.

So glad I listened to my sister when she recommended her Sleeping Duck. I've loved it from the first night.
I ordered the firm mattress as I have a lower back problem. This mattress is exactly that, firm but not hard. I've found it supportive but also giving enough to be comfortable.
The mattress doesn't seem to hollow out like my last latex mattress and that one was almost twice the price.

Happy to hear it Moreen!
We have found that the Firm Duck's blend of comfort and support can be just what someone struggling with their lower back needs.... Read more
Using that combo of a pocket spring layer, customisable high density foam, and a layer of Hyper-Adaptive foam gives us the opportunity to find the perfect mix for everyone on a Duck, regardless of their particular preferences or needs when they sleep. The make-up of these foams, which are our own proprietary creation, and a significant spring layer, also means that a Sleeping Duck comes with added longevity when compared to many pure foam or latex mattresses.

Love it, so comfy yet still very supportive
The mattress has had a positive effect on both my husband and myself, we are not waking up with sore backs. I do believe the mattress is durable but the only concern that my husband has is that it seems to already have our body moulded into the mattress and in the middle of the bed where we are not sleeping it seems to be quite high or no dint as such. Is this normal and will it get worse?

Hi Jules!
Thanks for taking the time to leave the review.... Read more
We're glad that your Queen Duck is balancing comfort with necessary support for both your backs. At the end of the day, the most important thing in getting the most out of a Sleeping Duck is ensuring that you're diligent with rotating the mattress, and that it has a bed base that provides sufficient support. We do recommend rotating your Sleeping Duck head to toe. We advise that for the first 4-6 months this be performed once a month. After that a few times a year will be just fine. This process is to ensure even longterm weight distribution across the mattress, helping maintain its quality and avoiding some of the dipping that can occur in mattresses. For those that don't have a Sleeping Duck bed base, they can find requirements and guidelines as to the necessary level of a support a base should provide to avoid any such issues (especially for the larger Queen and King size Ducks) on the warranty page of our website. If you were concerned about the continued presence of any indentations on your Duck, please get in touch with us right away! Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

Goldilocks’ mattress
Finding an all seasons mattress is hard in southern Australia - not too hot in Summer, not too cool in winter. But I think I’ve found it! Our new mattress is nice and cool and breathes well which has been great.

Hi Desireeh!
We're always aiming to aiming to give people the best possible sleep on their Ducks, so it's really pleasing to hear that you've had a great experience across the board.... Read more
It's vital for us that this goes beyond just your mattress itself, and that we're able to openly communicate what's working for you and what isn't in order to find the right fit. We also want our customers to know that this even extends beyond their 100 night guarantee. Just because this period in which it's free to change around their firmness is finished doesn't mean we stop working to make them comfortable if things just aren't quite perfect!

Questions & Answers
Em.asked
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 :)
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
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 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

Hi Fabio,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review. ... Read more
Oh, amazing! So great to hear that the Duck has helped relieve your previous aches and pains. The benefit of pressure expanding our foams is that it creates a more open and breathable structure, leading to a much cooler night’s sleep! The reinforced edges are designed to prevent any sagging, allowing you to sleep right to the edge. We do definitely recommend rotating your mattress 180 degrees, once a month for the first 6 months, and then quarterly thereafter. This will provide a more even distribution of weight throughout your mattress. If there was anything else we could do to help, feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Team Sleeping Duck
