Guest bed only
We have had a sleeping duck mattress for a year and a half now, rotating regularly. We are not heavy people but the mattress has rather large dips where we sleep now. It has become so uncomfortable that we have now purchased another mattress of a completely different type. It was a good test of a vacuum sealed bed, however probably only suited long term as a guest bed. Wouldn't purchase again.

Avoid at all costs if you are a hot sleeper
I had done a great deal of research prior to purchasing the mattress and went to the Richmond office to test it. At the office I feel in love with the firm mattress, it felt comfortable, cool and like laying on a cloud.
I ordered the mattress online and it came really quickly which was good and bad (bad being when you want something to take the longer side of estimated delivery time!) but that was no real issue.
I got the mattress out the box and laid it out to expand for 8 hours prior to using it. It was cooler when I had the mattress delive...Read more
red and it was nice and comfy and felt great! But as the weather has warmed up it is now unbearably hot, I’m sweating a lot more at night than I did with my old mattress, I’m struggling to sleep because of it as well, I haven’t had a good night sleep in over a month now. A part from using their own bedding I ensured I used bamboo based bedding and it didn’t help either. I contacted the support team and they couldn’t have been more helpful. I was going away for a couple days and was told no rush to fill out the return form and even with submitting during public holidays they have been really responsive, if only their mattress could be as good as the customer service, a lot of businesses could learn from these guys.

Hi Ben,
Thank you so much for taking the time out to share your feedback with us.... Read more
We really appreciate you kind words towards the company and our team. We do strive to provide our customers with the best service possible, so we're pleased to hear that we were able to meet that with you. However we're very sorry to hear that you've been experiencing issues with the heat in the mattress. We tend to see a spike in heat related queries as the seasons begin to change, as people switch bedding. Our mattress is a Hybrid design - a combination of pocket springs and foam, is going to be much cooler to sleep on than a full foam mattress. We use a Hyper-Adaptive foam that is 8 times more breathable than memory foam and latex. We have produced it via a foam making process known as Pressure Foaming. This uses pressure expansion rather than chemical reactions to expand the foam, and results in that added breathability. However in comparison to a traditional full spring mattress, you may find the Hybrid design slightly warmer. This is also subjective to the individual as many find the mattress to be cooler, though some find it to be too warm. We're sad to see you go, although we're glad that you've utilised the use of our 100 night guarantee. We wish you the best of luck! Kindest Regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

Firm, supportive and forgiving
I find it very comfortable, so far no sagging and I'm a heavy guy. The combination of foam and pocket springs works to make it supportive and, so far, durable. The only downside is the weight, it makes rotating the mattress a two person job.

Hi Fred,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the Duck!... Read more
It's so great that you're sleeping so comfortable and supportive on your mattress. The Firm will have you feeling extra supportive, especially in your back :) The Duck is definitely on the heavier side sitting at 48kg for the Queen, we hope it's not too much trouble for you. From our experience, the style of bases can contribute to the ease of rotating. If your mattress is sitting directly on top of your base, it's easier to slide the mattress. If your mattress is sitting inside your frame, it can be quite difficult to lift. If there is anything we can do to help you out, please get in touch with our team. Kind Regards, Team Sleeping DuckAll good - my new Tasmanian Blackwood base ( made to a 1920s Coogans template by Turners Blackwood Furniture of Launceston) has a low lip so it won's be too hard to rotate.

The best night's sleep!
The mattress is so stable and supportive. I don't notice my partner moving during the night. So far there is no sign of the mattress sagging or losing any support.

Thank you for taking the time out to write to us.... Read more
We're thrilled that you're so pleased with the Duck! Our Firm is definitely more supportive as you are more elevated to avoid tension and strain. As the pocket springs work entirely independently, this has minimised the impact of partner disturbance in the mattress. The mattress should uphold itself throughout the life expectancy of 10 years, which is also backed by our 10 year warranty. If there is anything we can do to help you out, please get in touch with our team. Kind Regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great nights sleep
I originally started with the medium firmness and this was upgraded to the hard foam which has helped quite a bit. I now have a much more comfortable sleep and awake more refreshed then I have for a long time.
Thank you Sleeping Duck the whole process has been great.

I feel physically healthier
Although initially my back was sore when first sleeping on the mattress, it got much better after a week. I felt like I was sleeping straighter and not curved up. We stay in hotels often for work but want to come home as we miss our sleeping duck for comfort and to wait up feeling physically better.

What we find is that for most customers, their comfort level changes over the first 21 nights. Although it may feel a little strange at first, it actually becomes more comfortable as you give it more of a go - so we're really glad to hear that you got adjusted to it reasonably quickly. We do apologise that staying in hotel beds has lost its magical touch however! If there's anything else we can do to help, please don't hesitate to get back in touch with our team.

I am super happy with my new Sleeping Duck mattress!
I loved the fact that I could attend their showroom to try before I buy in addition to the 100 night in home sleep guarantee.
I have an issue with a bulging disc in my lower back, and the Sleeping Duck mattress allows me to have a restful night sleep every night.
Extremely happy with my purchase!!

Out with the old
Had previous mattress for at least 25 years so it was time for a new one, shopped around and finally decided to give Sleeping Duck a go because of all the positive reviews it received.
The whole process from ordering to delivery was so professionally done and the final test was sleeping on it which it passed with flying colours.

We absolutely love that you're sleeping so wonderfully comfortable on the Duck! You can thank our pocket springs for no longer being woken up by your partner, as our 5 zone pocket springs act entirely independently to minimise partner disturbance. These springs alongside the firmness foams is going to keep you well supportable, whilst the Hyper-Adaptive allows you to feel like you're sleeping on a cloud.

I really like the Sleeping Duck Mattress and feel i have a better nights sleep overall although i have found that i overheat. Not sure if it is due to the materials in the manufacturing.

It's great to hear that you're enjoying the mattress, and that your sleep has improved since the Duck! Our mattress is a Hybrid design - a combination of pocket springs and foam, is going to be much cooler to sleep on than a full foam mattress. This is due to the production, as we use a process called pressure expansion (as compared to chemical expansion) which makes the foam 8x more open than standard. However in comparison to a traditional full spring mattress, you may find the Hybrid design slightly warmer. This is also subjective to the individual as many find the mattress to be cooler, though some find it to be too warm. There are a few things you can do to help minimise with the heat in the mattress. We recommend using light breathable layers all year round. Remove any large and bulky mattress toppers and protectors and opt for a waterproof cover using natural fibres such as Tencel, bamboo and cotton. Using the correct slatted base will also optimise the airflow through the mattress. Also keeping your room well ventilated, opening windows for as long as possible during the day. If you still find the mattress to be quite warm after a week or so of trying this out, please get in touch with our team at [email protected] or 1800 667 196.

A Perfect Duck
The Sleeping Duck mattress is very supportive & comfortable - in fact can't believe a firm mattress could be this comfortable.
Have had a bad back in the past, but since I have not woken up stiff & sore at all.
I have & will continue to recommend it.

What a surprise a perfect fit for both of us.
Great mattress that totally delivered on its advertising. We did a lot research before selecting Sleeping Duck and. It disappointed. Sleep is a dream pardon the pun and mattress feels exactly the same today as the day we bought it. My husband quite often says I love getting in our new bed like sleeping on a cloud.

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.
2 answers
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 :)
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

We're sorry to hear about that a dip has appeared in the mattress. This definitely shouldn't have occurred, and this isn't the level of quality that we would like to provide to our customers. Sleeping Duck recently came out as #1 for Australia top rated mattress, for the second year in a row by consumer watchdog CHOICE. One of their many ratings involved the test of sagging, which we happened to be ranked the highest at 96%. We'd love to have a further look into this warranty case for you, as a matter of urgency. So we can investigate this further, we would just need some order details (order number, name). If you're not comfortable providing this to the pubic, feel free to send us a message via Product review or get in touch with us directly. Kind Regards, Team Sleeping Duck
