This is perfect! I can't live without it.
I had Sleeping duck recommended to me and now I recommend to everybody. The most comfortable and supportive mattress I've ever slept on. Every night's sleep is as good as the first. I feel as though I'm sleeping on clouds.

Review collected in partnership with Sleeping Duck
It's simply the best!
I've slept on regular inner spring mattresses, as well as latex mattresses, and while the latex mattress is good, this is better than both. I will be buying another one for my partner and I, as my current one will be going in the spare room soon. I love that there is no partner disturbance when we roll over. It's so supportive, and being someone who gets headaches, it's good to know that my spine is being supported correctly whilst asleep. I chose a medium mattress because I am a side sleeper, and my partner who often sleeps on his back is happy with the support the medium mattress offers too. If you're not sure which mattress to get, you won't be disappointed with this one.

great mattress
the mattress is great. supportive and comfortable. can't say my sleep is better but I'm finding I drift off a bit faster and wake up/get out of bed easier/quicker.
I have noticed I'm a bit warmer where my skin touches the mattress but from the reviews I expected that a bit.
there was a minor issue in getting the mattress delivered but it was quickly sorted out and arrived less than a week later.
with a 100 day return policy it can't hurt to try, especially if you are looking to spend this sort of cash on a mattress anyway (which really you should)

Why didn't I do it years ago?
I was very suspicious and sceptical about my purchase from day one. I did lots of research and gave myself a long time to think about this purchase. I decided that of all the mattresses available (Ecosa, Koala etc etc) I’d get this because I’m a big person and I needed the coil support. SD reviews on the internet were confusing and mixed and paid reviews (such as this one) made me very wary. I took the leap knowing I could get the money back if I didn’t want to keep it after 100 days – this was my safety net. Delivery was a couple of days a...Read more
nd payment online was easy. Courier delivered and all was ok. Boy oh boy is this thing heavy! I had only a double and I could barely move it myself! Phone a friend! Thankfully it has handles. After unpacking layer upon layer upon layer of plastic (be sure to watch the video on how to unpack or you could really mess it up) it inflated like magic. I didn’t get any plastic-y smell at all from the mattress (reviews said I would). I did notice that fresh out of the plastic there was a great big dirty mark on the mattress top (about the size of my thumb) but I cleaned it off with a damp cloth and it was ok. I had a traditional VERY firm spring mattress that gave me a lot of support, but no comfort - SD is comfort and support. You do sink into the gel/foam a little, but not enough to feel like you’re falling. I got the firm and it’s just right for me and my back (facet joint disease, osteophytes, bulging disk, disk degeneration, arthritis). My back has never felt better and my doctor is delighted. I did have some issues with the two foam/gel inserts moving around under the topper, but after some advice from the SD team (prompt emails and follow up) that was resolved and I haven’t had any other issues. I live in sub-tropical Queensland, and I’m a hot/sweaty sleeper and I’ve found its not hot to sleep on (some of the reviewers said they found it hot). I read online that people were complaining about sheets not fitting and I must admit that my sheets (high quality hotel linens) do move up the side of the bed a little over the week - I don't think the mattress is any higher than my other so not sure what's going on there, maybe it's the materials the cover is made from?. Be aware that there is limited support when sitting on the edge of the bed (this took a while to get used to) but this doesn’t affect when sleeping near the edge. I’ll be keeping my SD Double and buying a SD Queen when up upgrade my bedroom furniture in a few months. I’ve recommended them to all my friends. Take the chance and give it a go. It was right for me, it might be right for you. (I have been paid $25 for my opinion)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Don't want to get out of bed.
Really comfortable with no hot spots. Love how it supports my body but still let's me sink in. My old mattress was incredibly expensive but really hot, so my new mattress is a godsend. Sleeping better than ever.

Amazing mattress and fantastic customer service!!
My mattress is a medium and very supportive. I love that it doesn't have any dips in it where I have been lying. I have never slept better!!
I really like the fact that it has a zippered top so can be adjusted to my comfort level.
The customer service with this company was professional, fast and reliable. I would recommend Sleeping Duck to anyone.

Perfect bed!
I was a little sceptical about this purchase because I didn't try it or see it before purchasing, but the trial period made it easy for me to test it for several weeks and see if it worked for me. From day one I loved it! I have the medium mattress and it feels extremely supportive and comfortable. The only downside would be that it's so much harder to force myself out of bed now! I've now had it for a few months and it's still perfect. I'd recommend using sheets a little bit bigger than the mattress as it's quite thick, and also leaving it for a few hours to air when first opened before putting sheets on it. Thank you sleeping duck! :)

Mattress for our daughter, she now cannot get out of bed it is so comfortable.
We ordered the medium support mattress, that is just the correct firmness for our daughter, says it is very comfortable. We have been very happy with the service of the Sleeping Duck Team. Always kept us up to date before and after the delivery. We are considering buying one for ourselves.

Sleeping much better
After finding my girlfriend was getting a sore back from our 7+ year old bed, I decided to do some research - after finding great reviews for Sleeping Duck, i decided to give it a go.
Since we've been using it for 5 months, we can both report a better sleep (it's easier to get to sleep also) and my girlfriend is experiencing no back pain. I also like the fact that I don't wake up my girlfriend every time I get up to get a glass of water at night, or when I get in when she's asleep. We chose a medium after watching video reviews, and it's still firm enough to be comfortable.
I've recommended it to my family and friends, especially those with older beds.

Very very comfy
The mattress is quite firm although having a soft top layer it tends to cradle your body while at the same time supporting extremely well. I had a constant lower back ache prior to purchasing the mattress and after only two nights sleeping on the duck the ache has disappeared.

Amaizing sleep
The quality and comfort of this bed doesn't have a price. Since I sleep in my new sleeping duck bed my back pain has gone completely. I feel I'm sleeping in a cloud and is hart to get up from my bed sometimes. My only dream every day is back to my bed and rest, it was my best purchase ever. Highly recommended!

I now want to stay in bed.
My sleeping duck mattress has hit the spot perfectly. I don't wake up sore anymore and don't really want to get out of bed asap. I love it! Truly the best mattress I've ever had.

Mattress is comfortable and supports where I need support and it is warm or cool depending on the weather. I always look forward to returning to my bed when I have been away. Wish all beds were like Sleeping Duck.

Perfect replacement mattress
Our previous mattress was nearly 10 years old and starting to lack support causing lower back pain. The replacement Sleeping Duck double bed mattress was a perfect, convenient and cost effective replacement, allowing for a better nights sleep and assisted with combating the lower back pain which was being experienced due to our old mattresses condition.

Over a year later...
Bought 2 mattresses, a double medium and a queen hard. Pretty happy overall. We're two large people and they've held up very well. Very comfortable. To be critical, they are quite heavy. Even the double is heavy enough that I get help to change the sheets. It's quite difficult to rotate them (as recommended on the SD site) once a month for 4-6 months. That aside, I've recommended Sleeping Duck to friends and family, it's a comfortable, high quality product and the price is very reasonable compared to what you get for the same amount with ...Read more
other brands. Customer service is also very friendly and accommodating. When the time comes to replace I'm sure I'll be buying from them again. On a side note, when I was researching mattresses to buy, I saw a few people on forums saying all these positive reviews were paid for. Though they do offer incentive to leave a review, but they don't stipulate that it be a positive one. To quote the email they sent me: "tell us what you thought about sleeping with us: good, great, or otherwise".Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Extremely comfortable mattress
The best mattress ever. We had a 4 very expensive mattresses in a 2 years time and we always had pains and aches. When we purchased Sleeping Duck mattress out of spite to Captain Snooze $5000 tag price we never regretted the purchase. From there on this mattress has been a miracle to our body. Thank you.

Great value, great packaging
The mattress I ordered is fantastic. I've had really expensive mattresses in the past and yet this mattress is just as comfortable, with the added bonus of delivery being fast and easy. generally great value for money.

Solved my back pain problems at half the price of other suppliers!
I was looking for a reasonably priced solution for a new mattress that I would hope alleviate some of my lower back pain and this did the trick. I spent lots of $$$$ on a competitor mattress that was a disaster and wasn't keen to waste money again. Love the product, price and loved the fact that I could change from a firm to medium when it just wasn't right the first time.

Questions & Answers
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?
Colinasked
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?

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,
