The best sleep!
After trying three different beds over time, my husband who prefers a firm mattress and I, who like a medium, heard from friends about Sleeping Duck. We were hesitant to order on line but saw the 100 day guarantee and the fact we could get a King half and half and decided to try it! Best decision ever! Prompt service, easy assembly of base and the most comfortable bed. I had never slept on slats, having always had ensembles. Sleeping Duck is so comfortable! Thank you!

Superb Product! Back Pain Gone. Perfect Sleep
This is a superb quality mattress feels tailor made for us! I was surprised at just how good the product is. My previously ridiculously expensive pillow top was decimating my back, all alleviated by our sleeping duck!
Great customer service and speedy delivery. The return policy gave us confidence to give it a try, but this mattress is going nowhere, we love it.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough

The most comfortable mattress we have ever had
We purchased the half & half king. My husband is a back sleeper so the firm is perfect for him and I am a side sleeper so the medium is perfect for me.
We both noticed a huge improvement in not only the quality of our sleep but our aches and pains have gone. Best investment.
We have only had the mattress a month but so far we love it.

Sleeping Duck Quality, Delivery, Follow up.
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.

Brilliant Mattress
Ordered our Sleeping Duck Mattress online and it was delivered fast.
Decided the medium side was a little too soft after several weeks and Sleeping Duck contacted me and organised a firm insert. Insert arrived fast and was super easy to install. OMG sheer heaven to sleep on. My hubby tried my side and wanted to swap, of course I said no. Sleeping Duck contacted me to see how the exchange went and I told them I loved it and hubby wanted my insert, they sent him one so we are both now super comfortable and getting out of bed is sooo hard because the comfort and support level is far to great and all I want to do is lay there all day and night. BEST MATTRESS EVER.

Best sleep of my life
After years of waking with a sore back and hips we finally found a mattress that gives me the support I need and still feels like sleeping on a cloud.

Hi Ellen,
We're fully aware that waking up sore day after day is an exhausting experience, so it's great to know that a Duck is having a positive impact in your life! ... Read more
We created our Hyer-Adaptive foam specifically to provide that feeling of weightlessness as you're dozing off. It means that you can combine all the support you require and still get that cloud-like sensation. Thanks for the review! Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

No more back pain
This is a very comfortable mattress that fixed the back pain I used to have. It out classes the more expensive mattresses I have had in the past few years.

Perfect Mattress & Exceptional Service
My husband and I are now both sleeping really well, and waking up with no aches or pains. We started with a medium firmness (which was really comfortable but just not quite right), then had a couple of firmness swaps and have ended up with a firm on my husbands side, and I have segmented sections on my side - firm in the hip and lower back area, and medium for the rest. There is no partner disturbance at all when one of you moves in the bed, which helps for a more restful sleep. We found the Sleeping Duck Team to be so helpful and accommodating the whole way through, we have had a fantastic experience purchasing our mattress and certainly highly recommend both the product and the Team behind it. Thank you Sleeping Duck !! 10/10

Good night's sleep with no hip or shoulder pain
A little sceptical to start with but the refund option was attractive. Reasonably easy to assemble and amazed at how the mattress unwinds - took video to show friends. Now convinced after sleeping on this mattress that it is great value and the best night's sleep in a long time. Have recommended to all our friends = although they laugh at the name.

Almost perfect
Improved my partners sleep experience completely. Almost has done the same for me. I find that I can still get myself into positions that leave me little slightly sore in the morning. I think that is me more than the bed. I find as I am changing my sleeping positions to suit the bed this is occurring less and less. I am very pleased with the performance of the bed and the fact that our sleep seems to be better, less disturbed and we arise feeling much better and fresher.

It's OK
I always needed a firm mattress for my back. My wife put up with it. When we needed a new mattress, thought we'ed try the half firm, half soft style. I still have a good night's sleep + a happier wife. Well worth the investment!

Delivery to Sydney was fast. Ordered Friday - delivered Monday and as promised ex Melbourne.

Waking up is so much better now
I used to wake up feeling tired and suffering from sore hips. Since having my sleeping duck mattress I wake up refreshed with no pain. My husband loves it too. Being able to have a half-half mattress has meant neither of us had to compromise on firmness

Excellent for both of us
I was a little hesitant to buy a mattress online without trying it out first, but so glad we gave it a go! My husband likes a firmer mattress than I do so we got the half and half. Two happy customers!

Excellent Support and Great Value for Money
Probably the grumpiest delivery guy ever encountered is the only thing that wasn't perfect in the entire bed purchasing experience. The post-purchase/delivery follow-up by Sleeping Duck's Customer Service was great - more than one would expect (or get) from any other company.
The firm side is great for the back sleeper and the medium side is perfect for this side sleeper. I have also tried sleeping on the firm side and it seems quite suitable for me too.
I had a little neck pain after the first couple of nights (which disappeared after a ho...Read more
t shower), but after a couple of months, I haven't noticed this pain again. So it may have just been a coincidence. My back pain (first thing in the morning), which has troubled me on and off for forty years, has almost completely disappeared. I also seem to have fewer creaking bones when getting up. We haven't had this long enough to know if the mattress is going to maintain its shape, etc. but so far it looks good. As does the new base.Purchased in February 2021.

Half/half Success
Mattress is very supportive & love the half/half option as my husband & I have different requirements. I have found my osteoarthritis in my hip is not keeping me awake like it used to. I couldn’t be happier!

Questions & Answers
Jen Hasked
I suffer with allegies, latex and some foams do not suit have a strong petrol smell to me. Will this mattress suit me
2 answers
Jen, we have had our mattress for nearly 2 months. We felt it had a strong Latex smell after we unpacked it, so we did not use it for 3 days...just let it air with the bedroom windows open. After the 3 day airing all smell was gone, and we have been using it, smell free, ever since. We are very happy with it. Regards Dennis
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck
Hi Jen,
Thank you for asking!
Our mattress does not contain any memory foam or latex, however it will have a smell when first opened due to vacuum sealing.
As Dennis has mentioned this should dissipate over the first few days, however people who identify as particularly sensitive may find it lingers a bit longer.
We recommend getting in touch by calling us at 1800 667 196 or emailing us at [email protected], as we can always provide tips and tricks to help speed up the airing process.
Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck

Hi Roger, we relied on Choice review (which gave best score to Sleeping Duck https://www.choice.com.au/home-and-living/bedroom/mattresses/review-and-compare/mattresses ), and the unconditional full refund if not satisfied. Not sure where you can buy at a physical store, we bought on line. Chris

Hi Roger,
Thank you for asking!
At the moment we have a select few locations to try our mattress. You can take a look at the locations and opening times at https://www.sleepingduck.com/au/try-us/.
If you're unable to get to a showroom to give it a go you can also try our quiz at https://www.sleepingduck.com/au/mattress/quiz/, but keep in mind you can always swap your firmness for free during the trial.
Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck :)
