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!

Purchased in April 2021.

Best Mattress Ever!

published

Extremely happy with my Sleeping Duck Mattress; it's so super comfortable that I'm falling asleep faster than I used to. I'm a side sleeper and used to have terrible back pain with my old mattress but not anymore! I've had my SD medium mattress for almost 6 months now and highly recommend.

Perfection

published

We don’t feel any undue pressure on joints sleeping on this new mattress. We both wake up refreshed and aches and pain free. There is never an uncomfortable position on that mattress as it is so supportive on the whole body. I was sceptical thinking I should buy a tempur mattress initially but I’m glad we didn’t. Friends of ours recommended this brand and I’m glad we tried it. Service and delivery were excellent too. Thank you to everyone

Super Comfortable

published

The Sleeping Duck mattress is super comfortable. Previous mattress was causing problems for myself and my wife as we were both consistently having lower back problems. Since the move to Sleeping Duck we have both slept so much better and the back problems have gone. Both of us are now getting much better sleep. They are brilliant value for money as comfortable and cheaper than options from the main furniture stores. Should have bought one sooner.

I never want to leave my bed again

published

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

published

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.

Change from innerspring to Sleeping Duck - so worth it!

published

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 :-))

No more lumps with Sleeping Duck

published

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.

You won’t be disappointed

published

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!

For a couple with some back and joint issues this has been a fabulous investment, well rested sleep with minimal to no movement required to alleviate pressure points. Just superb!

Great sleep!

published

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 !

Medium King

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
