Excellent mattress, great service & Australian made too.

Bought the medium sleeping duck mattress for my 16 yo son 10 weeks ago. He is not a good sleeper and has sensitive skin. I was not sure about buying on line but we are delighted with the mattress. Came in a box, we aired it for a week. They called us after 3-4 weeks left a message & called again just to make sure we were happy. Great service. Highly recommended. Reasonable price.

Like Sleeping on a cloud

I bought these mattresses for my teenage daughters (as guinea pigs). They have been so happy with them and have never slept better. I can't wait to buy a mattress for me and Hubbie and son. Definitely recommend to anyone who is in the market (in-fact already have)

Better than I could have ever expected

published

It's a really good balance between feeling comfortable but not too soft and good support without feeling too firm. It's surprising what a good mattress like Sleeping Duck can make to quality of sleep. I don't wake up with back pain or a numb hand or fingers anymore. It's been like a form of physiotherapy but without the pain. Instead of going from place to place trying out beds the 100 day trial offers assurance of satisfaction.

Great mattress for the price

published

Great service at the Abbotsford site, with a mattress to try. I bought a double medium mattress with base. The base requires a bit of Ikea-like assembly, but looks good and works well once finished. Can't beat this mattress for the price! I also have a MySide Series 8 which I feel is a bit more comfy, but it's also much more expensive.

Really good, great support, feeling fresh in the morning

published

Very comfortable, quite firm and fits to your body well, fits perfectly in ikea bed in case others are worried it won't, probably won't change to another bed now it's great

Finally after much researching

published

Very comfortable and supportive without being too firm. So far it has been durable unlike our previous mattress which developed two deep hollows and created back problems and pain.
Excellent purchase experience and after sales service. Would definitely recommend

Bedtime is much more exciting!

published

The mattress is supportive yet soft and very comfortable. Very happy with the quality for the price. The mattress did have a plastic new smell when it first arrived but that quickly disappeared.

Love a Duck

published

I'm a sceptic, i bought this mattress because of the reviews and the 100 day policy. I couldn't see that i could make a decision on a new mattress based on in store trials
I have had a sore hip for a few years, and recently a bad back especially after sleeping, after 1 week.. no more sore hip, no more bad back, coincidental, i don't think so, best purchase i have made ever. Super quick delivery, vacuum packed, so easy to transport, but expands like magic. Only issue is that the wife says our fitted sheets don't fit because it's so deep.
In two minds? Just try it, it's absolutely brilliant.

Unbelievably comfortabke

published

We were a little worried about buying a mattress online and not lying on it before we bought. But we read all the reviews and decided to go ahead. We are not disappointed!! This mattress was for a spare room but we are now sleeping in the spare room because the mattress is so comfy! Thank you very much

Great mattress and great customer service

published

I was a bit sceptical that a vacuum-packed mattress would end up being comfortable to sleep on but since there was a decent trial period and generous returns policy I figured there wasn't a lot to lose. It is far and away the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. The perfect balance of firm and plush with great support. Would definitely recommend.

The best bed & service!

published

We thought we will give this mattress a go, and so glad we did as all has turned out brilliantly, great packaging and on arrival everything went smoothly as we unpacked the mattress, really only took 10 mins to do the whole thing.
Every night is a great nights sleep, what more can you want. And all at a great price.

Seriously, don't even bother going to the bed shop...

published

The Duck is awesome, super comfy, supportive and affordable.
They also take the time to call you and ask how the mattress is; they don't do that at Forty Winks...

Questions & Answers

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

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?

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
