Amazing what truly restful sleep can do

published

Perfect even support and the edges don't sag either. Due to sleep apnea I used to be a side sleeper which didn't help my damaged shoulder. Now I awake lying on my back, truly rested and refreshed. Sleep apnea improved, no shoulder pain and fewer wrinkles too ;-) Should have purchased sooner !

Great Mattress

Great mattress. Very comfortable, not too soft or hard as my previous old mattress was too firm. I have been getting much better sleep and feeling more refreshing waking up in the morning.

Mattress and base + sheets are amazing to sleep on

published

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.

Supportive

published

This Sleeping Duck mattress felt weird at first, only because our last mattress was a concrete slab in comparison. It feels supportive, soft but not too soft. Only negative : It is very heavy, so I have adjusted the way I make the bed . I don’t regret buying it.

Super comfortable

I'm about half way through the 100 day trial and I'm very happy with the mattress.
It's supportive but not too firm, and I've slept more soundly than I was on my old mattress.

Best mattress we've ever slept on

published

My partner and I did the 100 night trial and never looked back. Best mattress we've ever slept on. The medium firmness is perfect for us and the mattress just supports you in the right spots. So far we've had it for just under 4 months and it still feels like the day it was delivered. The previous bed base we had was no good for this mattress as the gaps between the slats were wider than the recommended 8cm. So we bought a new bed base from Amazon with slat gaps of 6cm width and it feels perfect. We highly recommend the Sleeping Duck mattress 100%

the perfect sleep

published

decided to just test bed 3 hours after delivery and woke up 2 hours later because we fell asleep immediately and it has been the same ever since. We now have no trouble sleeping and wake up fully refreshed with no more aches and pains.

Love it, perhaps a little softer would have been perfect
After 5 weeks I added a cool foam topper and now it’s magic

Sleeping like a dream !!

published

Hi Iove sleeping on the mattress. I have such a restful sleep. The only issue I have noticed is that there is sag on the external fabric on the mattress which makes the top look uneven. It doesn't affect the comfort but looks a little untidy . The edging on the other side runs around the top of the mattress and not low like this side. I guess a concern would be that the material may wear faster.

Expectations high!

published

The medium firm mattress has been extremely comfortable to sleep in so far and I don't expect that to change at all. I wake up feeling rested and without any aches or lower back discomfort that I was experiencing in my previous bed. I am very happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend Sleeping duck to anyone looking for a new bed!

Great bed, super comfy, but a little smelly

published

Bought this for our daughter and she’s been sleeping great in her first big girl bed! Copes well with being jumped on lots too. I do find that it’s quite warm for me but I do run hot. Only negative for us would be that the “new mattress” smell lasted about a month, but our daughter didn’t seem to mind

A comfortable mattress

published

An excellent mattress with excellent support from the company. As with any mattress a few adjustments proved necessary. I found the weave of the mattress top a little uncomfortable - I have sensitive skin - so added a quality mattress topper which fixed that. I requested and was both promptly and courteously supplied a 'medium' alternative to the 'firm' mattress choice I had originally made - the change over is both easy and simple. With the recommended monthly mattress rotation, I've had no problems so far and, on current experience, expect none in the future.

Purchased in November 2021 for $1,049.00.

A very comfortable, supportive bed. Very reasonably priced. We now own 3, we've been so impressed. I like the confidence in the product shown by the company, with the return policy.

The difference is amazing!

published

This mattress has made such a difference to my sleep patterns. I used to wake with stiffness and aches and pains due to a health condition. Not any more! And I now sleep soundly all night. It’s deliciously comfortable, I love my bed! And in the recent humid, hot weather I haven’t found the bed hot, as I did with my previous mattress. It’s great, I highly recommend both the mattress and the team who handled my purchase. Everyone was extremely professional and efficient. Thank you

Questions & Answers

Sue M.

Sue M.asked

Medium Double

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
GeorgiaC
GeorgiaC

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 Duck
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?

Medium Double

what is the weight of the medium double-double? Am using a Domino mattress which has ridged in the centre, my back is sore when I first get out of bed and, although only 24 cm thick, is virtually too heavy for even my wife and I can manage to change the bed or rotate it. We are both 80 yr-old & I have a dicky heart. How does sleeping duck compare in this area?

1 answer
Sleeping Duck
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

Hi Colin,

Thank you for asking!

Our double mattress is approximately 42kg heavy and 31cm thick. Unfortunately we're not familiar with a Domino mattress, and can't provide a comparison.

We would recommend getting in touch with us directly via email at [email protected] should you have any other questions we can help with.

Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
