This mattress more than lives up to the claims! Comfort and support and the best nights sleep we have ever had. We just don't want to get out of bed!

Really loving, not hot like previous and not dippy.

published

Had approx 3 months, changed from firm to medium after few weeks. Seems to suit us better. Early days but seems very durable, and has maintained shape. Very happy so far and would recommend mattress and in particular service received from the company.

Great comfort at an affordable price.

published

We find the mattress supportive & comfortable. I no longer wake up with a sore back. I need to source a suitable pillow now, to complete the sleeping package.
We’ve not noticed any change in shape or comfort, but have only had it for 6 weeks.

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!

Best mattress I've owned

Mattress felt good right from the first nights sleep. No sagging or over firmness. Was delivered quickly and easy to handle and set up. My sister has one and she thinks its the best mattress ever so I had to have one

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 Mattress

published

Great mattress. Very comfortable, not too soft or hard as my previous old mattress was too firm. I have been getting much better sleep and feeling more refreshing waking up in the morning.

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 !

Been two months - highly recommend!!! Simple ordering process! Great communication & friendly!

Very comfortable and supportive. Well-made, feels durable (mattress and base). Had back inflammation from an airbed which went away. Lot like the Springwall brand which I couldn't find in Australia.

Best mattress

We love our new mattress, from night one we slept so well, we chose Medium which we found firm but not hurting hips etc. very happy customs from delivery right through to follow up texts

Mattress and base + sheets are amazing to sleep on

published

I do think I sleep more, less tossing and turning, and less frequent wake ups due to lower back pain.

Having to use it as a bed and TV/gaming area as my lounge telly died, and it's great for that purpose as well.

The best mattress ever!

published

This is by far the best mattress I've ever bought, it's so comfortable. We have been sleeping much better since getting our sleeping duck. Zero partner disturbance is amazing, this was a biggie for us as we cosleep with our 1yr old. The mattress has maintained its shape and doesn't sag at the edges. Very supportive, not too firm, not too soft. Just right. We both alternate between side and back sleeping and are in total comfort all night. I will never spend big money on other mattresses ever again. Getting it out of the box and packaging was very straightforward, too. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking at an upgrade.

Could not try mattress as the fumes were toxic. SD said all the same and did not test it.

Super comfy- Very heavy

published

Our Sleeping Duck Mattress is the most comfortable mattress we’ve ever had.
Has assisted with sore neck and shoulder issues.
Mattress is still firm but very heavy to lift when changing sheets!

A comfortable mattress but not for hot sleepers

published

I do find this mattress retains heat but I'm generally getting a comfortable night's sleep. Too early to tell if it will sag. I wasn't happy with the delivery service - I understand lifting restrictions - but the driver wanted to leave my mattress at the bottom of my front stairs in the rain. Sleeping Duck's business relies upon delivery of mattresses! They need to sort this out.

Easy Purchase, very happy with our choice.

We purchased our Sleeping Duck after trying another "Bed in a Box". The quality was fine, but the bed was way too hard, so we sent it back. This bed is comfortable and easy to set up. The whole purchase process was easy and our bed arrived quickly. Thanks 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

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

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?
