Very comfortable, fantastic service, worth the money
I bought this for my teenager who has worn through sprung mattresses in the past - he’s tall, heavy and likes to lay in bed a lot. It is brilliant. Great customer service, everything was made easy. The mattress is amazingly comfortable and seems very robust. I am positive it will endure! Great value - really worth it.

I never want to leave my bed again
I have chronic back issues and as a side sleeper this would result in pain in my shoulder with my old mattress, but not with Sleeping Duck. It is supportive and comfortable without being too firm or too soft. It does take a good day or two before the mattress reaches its full firmness once it decompresses from the box but boy oh boy is it worth the wait. I wish I hadn't waited so long!

Perfect comfort and support
We read about the Sleeping Duck mattress on Instagram and with the money back guarantee offered by sleeping Duck we decided it was a no brainer to try it out. We were also influenced by "Choice.com.au" highly rated review. We have had our sleeping Duck mattress for about 8 weeks now and find it very comfortable and supportive. There is no indentation forming. The medium softness has been great for my hip replacements. Soft enough yet supportive. My husband is also comfortable with the medium rating but is considering a change on his side to a "soft" rating. Which i believe we can do before our 100 day time frame expires.

Really loving, not hot like previous and not dippy.
Had approx 3 months, changed from firm to medium after few weeks. Seems to suit us better. Early days but seems very durable, and has maintained shape. Very happy so far and would recommend mattress and in particular service received from the company.

Great comfort at an affordable price.
We find the mattress supportive & comfortable. I no longer wake up with a sore back. I need to source a suitable pillow now, to complete the sleeping package.
We’ve not noticed any change in shape or comfort, but have only had it for 6 weeks.

Hi Shez,
Amazing! It’s great to hear that your Sleeping Duck has provided some relief for your back pain.... Read more
The benefit of the Ducks hybrid design is that you get the overall support and longevity of pocket springs, combined with a level of comfort from the foams above. That long-term support is vital when catering to those who struggle with sore backs, whilst still providing them cloud-like comfort for the rest of your body. Thanks for leaving your review :) Kind regards, Team Sleeping DuckSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Change from innerspring to Sleeping Duck - so worth it!
We um’d and ah’d for a few months before buying our Sleeping Duck. But so worth it! We’re in our 60s and can’t believe how much more comfortable than an innerspring this mattress is. Love it and look forward to a great sleep every night :-))

Hi Sally!
Thanks for the review. It is always best to take your time (if possible) when settling on something as important as a new mattress in your life.... Read more
A Duck's hybrid design combines the benefits of both a pocket spring mattress, and those of foam. Our Hyper-Adaptive and high density comfort foams allows you to blend cloud-like comfort and necessary levels of support for all sorts of sleepers. It also then gives us the option to shift around that feel and firmness if your level of comfort isn't quite as perfect as it should be. Here's to looking forward to bed every day!

No more lumps with Sleeping Duck
We are both sleeping very well on our new bed. Husband initially thought it a bit firm even with the medium mattress. Now he loves it as do I. I love that there are no lumps and bumps and I can move all over the bed without having a “the Great Wall” lump between us as with our old mattress. I have back issues so I need a supportive mattress. Highly recommend.

Oh, it can definitely take some time to adjust to a new mattress but it’s great to hear that he is now sleeping soundly. The Hyper-Adaptive foam is perfect for adding a certain level of comfort, this combined with our firmness foam layer along with pocket springs, ensures you are fully supported from head to toe.

You won’t be disappointed
It’s hard to believe that a mattress so inexpensive can feel so comfortable. My husband tosses and turns a lot in his sleep but I’m never woken by his movement on our sleeping duck mattress. We went for a medium firmness and we love it! My kids need new mattresses soon and I won’t be buying anything else but a sleeping duck. Thanks for supplying such a high quality product and amazing customer service!

Back issues can obviously impact not only your sleep, but the rest of your day, so it is vital to find the right mix between that necessary support and comfort. This is the benefit of a hybrid design combining the tailored support of a Duck's pocket spring with the comfort and customisation of its foam layers. We are confident of finding the perfect fit for all types of sleepers, whether they need added support for their back or are looking to cater to an aching shoulder.

Great sleep!
I am a hot sleeper but using the “in your dreams” bamboo mattress protector recommended by Sleeping Duck I have slept soundly! Been years since I had such a good nights sleep. We’ve got king size with soft for hubby - side sleeper and medium for me a back sleeper. Absolutely no partner disturbance in the night. Was a bit of smell for first 3 or 4 nights but nothing to bother us. ( I used to work in foam manufacturing company so I was expecting this anyway). I have had to change my pillow to a flatter one but otherwise couldn’t be happier.
Thank you Sleeping Duck !

That's brilliant Linda.
The ability to have your Duck set up as a Half-Half option is tremendously useful. Everybody sleeps a little differently, so there's no reason why one half of a couple should miss out on their perfect night's sleep!... Read more
One of the other great benefits of a Sleeping Duck's combo of pocket springs and foam layers is that we are able to design two sleep zones into its structure, helping eliminate disturbance from movement on the other side of the bed. When opened, our mattress will have a bit of an initial smell as it has been vacuum sealed for transport. You can liken this to a new car smell - the severity of which can depend on how sensitive you are to smell. This is non-toxic. As you experienced, most customers report that this smell dissipates after approximately 3 days! However if it does linger we also suggest they remove the foam layers from the mattress to help expedite the airing process. Have a good night's sleep!

Very comfortable and supportive. Well-made, feels durable (mattress and base). Had back inflammation from an airbed which went away. Lot like the Springwall brand which I couldn't find in Australia.

Mattress and base + sheets are amazing to sleep on
I do think I sleep more, less tossing and turning, and less frequent wake ups due to lower back pain.
Having to use it as a bed and TV/gaming area as my lounge telly died, and it's great for that purpose as well.

The best mattress ever!
This is by far the best mattress I've ever bought, it's so comfortable. We have been sleeping much better since getting our sleeping duck. Zero partner disturbance is amazing, this was a biggie for us as we cosleep with our 1yr old. The mattress has maintained its shape and doesn't sag at the edges. Very supportive, not too firm, not too soft. Just right. We both alternate between side and back sleeping and are in total comfort all night. I will never spend big money on other mattresses ever again. Getting it out of the box and packaging was very straightforward, too. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking at an upgrade.

Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck
Thanks for the question Christina. We have also sent you an e-mail, but we'll outline it here as well!
Unfortunately we don't currently produce a Super King Sleeping Duck mattress.
Due to machinery limitations we can only make our Ducks in traditional Australian sizes from Single up to King.
Additionally, because our mattresses are pre-made in these standard Australian sizes with designated levels of firmness built in, we are also unable to offer custom sizing.
For those looking to get their hands on a Duck you have the option of placing your order via our website (sleepingduck.com), and by giving us a call on 1800 667 196.
If you were to purchase over the phone you would be able to pay via card (we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express). If you were to order online, payment could be processed via card, PayPal, or an online financing option through ZipMoney.
Kind regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
Sue M.asked
Can the foam layers be put out in the sun, to get rid of the smell?
Is there anything else I can do, as the mattress makes my very sensitive daughter itchy.
4 answers
The foam layers are removable, so yes air them in the sun, the smell will go. I also washed my new mattress cover and put that on before the sheets. I aired my mattress for several days before I slept in it with the windows wide open and the smell went.
I am extremely sensitive to smells.
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck
Hi Sue,
Thanks for your query!
To help dissipate the smell in the foams, this can definitely be aired outside. However we would recommend avoiding direct sunlight as it can cause discolouration in the foams.
As Georgia mentioned, we would also recommend keeping the window open, as well as washing the mattress cover and sheets as it is common for the smell to linger.
If you're still experiencing trouble with the smell after a few weeks, please be sure to get in touch with our team at [email protected] or 1800 667 196.
Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
Thank you, I have put the foam outside and it seems to have helped. If it has been in the sun for awhile, will it damage the foam? When putting it back does the thinner layer go on top, not sure which way it was before?
