Comfortable and supportive

published

We bought the mattress, base and sheets and are so happy we did. It took a few nights to settle in and a few weeks to get really used to it - give yourself time when trialling. The only downsides are that the bed base only comes in one colour (black), and the fitted sheet doesn't have enough width to stay tucked in. Oh, and there was so much packaging on the bed - the price of convenience? Strangely, I love that the bed base has so few feet near the edge that you can vacuum around/under with ease. The sheets are the perfect balance between silky smooth but grippy enough that they stay in place. We're so happy we upgraded, thanks Sleeping Duck :)

Best Mattress and pillows i have ever owned. Have had the most perfect sleep since the day we got this, except the kids and dogs coming in and waking me because they want to sleep on it as well.

Sound asleep

published

We ordered the half firm, half medium King matress aboit 2 months ago. It arrived within a few days and we received updates via text along the way, regarding delivery. It was super easy to maneuver with the wheels on the box. Set up took 5 mins - easy as with 2 people. Our fitbits monitor sleep and we have averaged about an extra hour of sleep each night on the Duck mattress. There seems to be no annoying pressure points so we have both had much sounder sleep. Life-changing. Best decision was buying an Aussie made product! Can't fault it... no sag at all. The sheets are also divine!

Great customer service. Mattress is firm but soft on top. We were waking up to aches with our old latex mattress and now, with the new mattress, we wake up feeling like our body has had a rest. Instructions to set it up were clear.

I can not finish my book....

published

The mattress is so comfortable that I fall asleep faster than I am planning. A nano-nap turns into a siesta and I can never get to the end of the page before I set down my book and close my eyes.

I wake up refreshed and feeling younger than I have in decades.

I have not had the mattress long but will be happy to update you about durability next year.

Thank you Sleeping Duzzzzzz......

Ticks all the boxes.

published

Was influenced by the Choice reviews, recommendations of friends and a test at their showroom in Abbotsford in Melbourne.
Have now had the mattress for 6 weeks.
Could not be happier with the sleep experience.
My wife had been experiencing back and neck issues in the old bed but these have disappeared.
I went for firm and my wife for medium - a real benefit of this mattress.
Also went from an old queen size to a king size which has proven to be a real boon. The extra space is fantastic.
Was warned upfront about the weight of the box - about 60kgs. It was certainly a challenge to get it up the stairs to our bedroom but the actual installation was easy.
Too early to say how durable it will be but reassured by the Choice testing in this regard.

Best sleep in years

I have had many spinal operations and have struggled to find a mattress that is supportive and comfortable until I purchased the Sleepy Duck mattress, it let's me sleep on my side and follows the shape of my body to support my entire body rather than just my shoulders and hips like so many other mattresses I have used before.

Mattress is comfy and helped me with a sore back. Rotating it regularly just in case and keeps it's shape well. Might even get one for the spare bed so visitors can have a super comfy sleep as well.

Amazing!

published

I was hesitant at first at buying a mattress in a box, but figured with the 100 day trial I had nothing to lose, whereas buying from a shop you are stuck with what you get. The sleeping duck arrived very quickly and the quality is great. I have a bad back and have had no issues since sleeping on this mattress and have had the best sleep every night. It is extremely comfortable and the medium firmness is just right. I love this mattress and will definitely be buying another one for the spare room when the time comes!

Very Comfortable - not too hard & not too soft. I have been sleeping through the night, waking up fresh. Would usually get the odd stiff neck from my sleeping position but i have not encountered this as of yet.
Very Happy!

Get yourself a sleeping duck mattress!

published

Thanks to Choice’s rating I’m in absolute heaven. Best thing I did. Ordered the firm mattress and it was too firm. Swapped to the medium and now I’m Goldilocks!! Perfect! And the service was outstanding! If I had bought a mattress from elsewhere there’s no way they would have swapped it. Thanks Sleeping Duck.

Great product, great company.

published

Both the product and the company are first class. We took delivery of our new mattress about 6 weeks ago. I ordered it online on Saturday night and it was delivered on the Monday morning. The website is one of the easiest to use that I have seen. We were regularly contacted by text both before and after the delivery to make sure we were completely happy.

The mattress is very comfortable. We chose the half/half option to suit our personal sleeping habits.

Watching the mattress take shape after removing it from the box is almost worth the purchase price on its own.

Very Happy; great comfort for an ailing back!

We have only had the mattress for 2 weeks, but so far very happy with it. My back is less stiff in the mornings compared to all previous matresses and I like the firmness; I have firm and my wife medium, which she likes.

Our purchase.

Whole experience great. Old mattress was causing sleepless nights, sore backs and inner workings were noisy. It was less than 5 years old and supposedly top of the range from a well known manufacturer. Sleeping Duck far superior. We bought the whole package including Queen bed, sheets, duvet, pillows. Couldn’t be happier! Delivery and after sales follow up fantastic. Wish we had done this earlier. Thanks Sleeping Duck!

We would like to purchase a super king mattress from you and want to know the next step?

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

We purchased a new mattress, feather doona, underlay and sheets. There is a new smell still but i dont mind it. Dont know which one of these still has the new smell.

Sleeping Duck
Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

Hi Tracey,

Thanks for getting in touch, we really appreciate it.

Our Sleeping Duck foam used in the mattress is polyurethane, and is expanded using pressure. The foams are also GECA approved and have been tested by their standards to show no detectable VOCs. You can find more information about GECA at http://www.geca.eco/.

When opened our mattress will have a bit of an initial smell as it has been vacuum sealed for transport and 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.

If you're finding that the smell in the mattress is lingering we often suggest taking out the foams during the day and standing them against a wall in a ventilated room. I would also suggest changing sheets often as they can absorb the smell and cause it to linger.

If there's anything else our team can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Kindest Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck :)

Hi John,

Thank you for your question!

Unfortunately at this point in time we do not have any showroom locations in Western Australia, only in Melbourne and Sydney.

We do offer a 100 night guarantee on all our mattresses. This way you can try it in the comfort of your own home, night after night!
Firmness swaps within your 100 night trial are free of charge, so you can't lose with whichever firmness you choose.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything else we can assist with.

Kind Regards,
Team Sleeping Duck
