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!

Happy to hear it Lorraine!
Everyone is so different with how they sleep, and has different things they're looking for in a mattress. This is especially true when you have a specific issue that can keep you up at night.... Read more
Finding the right mix between comfort and support can be a frustrating search, so we're glad that you've managed to find some relief from such a chronic problem. We're really glad that the two of you have enjoyed your time on your Duck so far, and wish you the best of luck in the future! Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

The perfect mattress! Absolutely love it!
We couldn't be happier!! So comfortable and has definitely relieved my lower back stiffness that I used to wake up with. I was concerned that it might be too hot over summer but mysteriously it was quite the opposite. No sagging in the middle where the two firmness's meets. Getting a half/half is perfect as I prefer a softer mattress than my husband and previously had to go with a harder one, now we can both be happy. Highly recommended!!!

Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback.... Read more
Our ability to customise each side of a Duck for individual preferences means less need to compromise, and more happy couples :) The Hyper-Adaptive foam that makes up the top layer allows for a seamless transition for both sides of the mattress, even when set up as our half/half option. Both our Hyper-Adaptive foam and customisable firmness layers are produced via pressure expansion, creating a more open and breathable structure when compared to your traditional latex and memory foam, resulting in a cooler nights sleep!

Well it's a big deal replacing a mattress. So much noise and very little data. Fortunately Sleeping Duck seem to have worked it out couldn't be happier with the mattress.

Love the mattress, love the company!
I am very happy with my mattress. I ordered it in firm and slept well on it. My partner though said it was too firm for him. I contacted Sleeping Duck and they sent out two medium inserts for us to try.
My partner prefers the medium one and I prefer the firm, so happy we can both have what we want.
The service has been exceptional and I am very pleased we chose this mattress and company.

Best bed ever
I now have no idea if my partner gets up in the middle of the night now as there is absolutely no movement on my side of the bed. Custom comfort for both of us and no ‘breaking in’ necessary.

Best sleep EVER!!!!!
I have back and hip issues but my partner doesn’t, which is why we opted for the half and half. I sleep longer and more soundly, and so does my partner, we can’t get over the difference it’s made to us both. And if one of us gets out of bed, there is absolutely no partner disturbance. Congratulations Sleeping Duck,
your mattress is amazing!!! Thank you!!!

Very good mattress
I’m a big man with a back problem and I need a firm but comfortable mattress. My wife on the other hand was not happy on the firm mattress we did have so we bought a half medium and half firm Sleeping Duck. We both sleep a lot better, the mattress is very comfortable and I wake up with a lot less back pain than I used to. Highly recommend.

wish i had bought this mattress years ago we are sleeping so much better
Wow wow wow nothing is too much trouble. I started with a firm as that is what my old mattress was however it was too firm for me. so they change my side to a soft and hubbies to a firm no questions asked. I have bought the pillows as well and would highly recommend. you may think they are thin when you get them but they have made the night sleep on the mattress even better. thankyou for your awesome customer service.

Wonderful to hear that your cat and Duck have become fast friends.... Read more
Using a significant amount of foam in a mattress will naturally lead to more heat retention than a pure spring mattress. This can sometimes be a bit of a trade-off for the comfort and customisation the use of foam provides. We have designed to minimise the heat trapped in our Ducks as much as possible. Combining our own proprietary open-cell foams, increased ventilation from our pocket spring layer, and a breathable bamboo top has helped us try to find that middle ground between cool and comfortable. Everyone is a little different, so we're glad that you're finding it a great fit overall. Thanks again for the review, we appreciate it. Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion?

Invaluable to be able to try different firmness combinations until it was right for me!
All sleeping duck staff have been incredibly helpful and nice. There were no issues in requesting the alternative firmness after the first one I got wasn't quite right. Then I got the combination so I could have firm under my hips and medium under my shoulders which is now perfect! I would never have realised I needed that combination if I couldn't have tried and testing different options! I was hesitant to try buying a mattress online, but this is definitely the best way to do it (not in a store where you're stuck with what you 'guess' you'll need. I made that mistake too many times!). Now I've FINALLY got no shoulder or lower back pain when I wake up! Definite value for money! I can't recommend Sleeping Duck highly enough!

Initial impressions, firm, hard and solid mattress yet proves to be cozy, comfortable, cool and zzzzzzzzzz! Sorry fell asleep. Better nights sleep all round with the potential to make mattress adjustments made easy with zip on and off cover plus in fills. Get one for yourself and sleep with the duckies.

Its pocket spring layer provides all the necessary support for different sections of the bed, and our Hyper-Adaptive foam gives you that cloud-like comfort and buoyancy as the top layer of the Duck. Utilising high density firmness foam between these two layers is what then enables us to find the right fit for our customers. And yes, the design of our Queen and King sizes steps this up a notch, with the ability to set up each side of the bed with a different firmness on each side, because everyone's a little different in how they sleep!

Everyone does require a particular blend of comfort and support.

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 :)
