Best sleep in years

published

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.

Purchased in March 2021 at Sleep Duck Online for A$1,500.00.

Great experience overall

published

Did quite a bit of research/comparison prior to purchase, had no idea how big the mattress market is.
Took a punt on 'the Duck' due to positive feedback online. Admit to being concerned about not being able to lie on their mattress in a showroom prior to buying but with money-back guarantee had nothing to lose.
From time of purchase communication was excellent. Text notifications advising every step/progress. Mattress arrived 3 days after purchase (we live in regional Qld). Proof is in the pudding, it's very comfy & we have no regrets at all. We bought a medium, at first thought it felt a little 'soft' but that proved to be the top latex layer, not the firmness of the mattress. Thoroughly recommend.

Purchased in March 2021 at Sleeping Duck for A$1,499.00.

Sensational, loving a good nights sleep.

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!

A Perfect Nights Sleep

published

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.

So comfy

Having the best sleeps so far. Seems to be good quality - already looking forward to going to bed tonight. Would definitely recommend. Only thing that I would improve is I should have asked delivery person to carry upstairs for me as was very heavy.

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.

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.

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 !

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!

Great mattress

published

Mattress is very comfortable although would have preferred a softer one if it has been available. Both of us are sleeping better since we replaced our older mattress. Has reduced pain in shoulder. No noticeable sagging to date but have noted that the edges tend to be soft - needs additional support on the edges.

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

Sleeping D.Sleeping Duck

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

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?
