This is a great bed and I tell all my friends about it

published

I have osteoarthritis and lower back pain but since sleeping on this bed I have a good nights sleep which has improved my wellbeing
I am very impressed and would definitely recommend it
I have the base and mattress which was very easily assembled with two people
It took less than an hour to have it up and ready to go
I slept on it the next night as per instructions

Purchased in February 2021.

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

published

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.

Try one!

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.

published

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.

Happyish

Very nice mattress but not as firm as I'd imagined. Although I've been sleeping well i think there should be a super firm option. Well, it's a mattress made from materials that can be compressed and rolled to meet efficient business practices so i didn't expect that it would also meet my stupidly high standards :D

Best mattress I've slept on. I still have a few aches and pains with arthritis in my back, but this mattress is very comfortable and helps tremendously. I highly recommend Sleeping Duck :)

Great matress warm sheets

published

Bought the ultimate queen bundle, have veen enjoying the mattress, especially its height! The tincel sheets have turned out to be very hot despite cool weather (mid 10's to 20's) with just themselves and a duvet, taking some getting use to but my partner seems to sleep in them fine. Would definitely recommend the mattress

so amazed at how soundly and comfortably we both are sleeping. I need a very firm mattress where Ron doesn't. He is noting that he sleeps so much sounder, wakes refreshed. I sleep brilliantly, aches are much less pronounced. Thank you!!!

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.

Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

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
