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.

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.

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

published

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.

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.

Absolutely impressed by Sleeping Duck

published

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!

I’ve a bad lower back... it helps, but my back is a worry no matter what mattress I have. Not sure really whether firm is the best for me....perhaps I do need a bit more give in my mattress

Very comfortable

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 !

published

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.

So glad I listened to my sister when she recommended her Sleeping Duck. I've loved it from the first night.

published

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.

Love it, so comfy yet still very supportive

published

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?

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.

Questions & Answers

Em.

Em.asked

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.
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
