we love our queen sized sleeping duck mattress. We had our previous was for about 9 years now, so we were long due for a new one. The difference and improvement is day and night. Our old one kept sagging but this is firm just enough to keep the back pain at bay. Love it Show details · 1

Sleep perfect with a comfortable awakening happy and rested – I am a side sleeper and used to have neck and leg pains. Both disappear after using Sleeping Duck. The foam is firm and soft at the same time and perfectly blended. As for temperature, it is neither cold nor hot and maintains body temperature during the night. It is really great for sleeping. The overall rate is not excellent because of the edges… Read more · 1
of the mattress. I usually spend time sitting before sleeping and after waking up and in less than 2 months the edges already start to sag and form depressions.
So been using it for a couple of years now. It started off reasonably good, and their customer service was impressive and I swapped some firmness pads over which they sent promptly. The mattress is extremely high for what it is, I would say perhaps unnecessarily so but I knew that prior to the purchase. The biggest drawback of this mattress is… Read more
that you have to regularly rotate it. And I mean regularly, to keep it with that fresh "firm", feeling. The longer you have had it, the more you'll have to rotate it as this mattress is not reversable. After having it for 2 years it really requires rotating every 2-3 weeks or else you get that groove forming. Thing is, if you rotate is too soon you're just rotating back again onto the already slept part that hasn't puffed out again yet. I'm not talking a huge ditch or anything, but yeah just not that supportive lower back feel you get with a fresh mattress. Would I buy it again? Probably not. While I like the idea of it having firmness interchangeable pads which is great, I think it's let down by a combination of it's premium price and the fact you cannot reverse the mattress and you so regularly have to rotate it. It's okay, but not wonderful, but when you factor in price I'd go back to a sealy with back support or something, but I'll use it till it's had the gong and then move on. Not terrible it's okay, but also not the bees knees. Powerful marketing though.
Mattress is great but the delivery is really bad – I purchased this mattress couple days ago. It feels so good to sleep in so far. However, the delivery is really bad. I live in a house which has 6 stairs. Luckily I got a friend with me who helped to bring it upstairs. She carried all the weights while courier didn’t do much. Sleeping duck told me that due to work safety, they are not allowed to… Read more
bring mattress up more than 1-2 stairs. I totally understand and support this idea, but it would be greatly helpful if they can state clearly before I purchased it.

Where do I even start — not just with how good the mattress is, but how outstanding the company itself has been. I have never experienced such genuine, attentive communication from a business. From the moment I placed my order right through to delivery, every interaction was excellent. Even last-minute changes on my end were handled smoothly and… Read more · 1
without fuss. I was initially nervous about buying a mattress online, but Sleeping Duck’s return policy and strong reviews gave me confidence. I’m so glad I went ahead. This mattress replaced a Tempur that cost significantly more yet was nowhere near as comfortable. The Sleeping Duck has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s clear that Sleeping Duck focuses on delivering true value rather than spending on celebrity endorsements. That probably helps keep prices reasonable while ensuring product quality and customer care stay front and centre. Many other businesses could learn from their example — from product design and promise, through to seamless transactions and thoughtful after-sales follow-up, everything has been brilliant. I loved my mattress so much that I bought another one for my son a few weeks later. He loves his just as much. In short: buy with absolute confidence and trust.
Let Down Within a Year – Poor Support and Premature Sagging I really wanted to love the Sleeping Duck mattress, especially after reading so many glowing reviews, but unfortunately, it hasn't lived up to the hype. Within a year, there is noticeable sagging developed—particularly where the two inserts meet—dipping by at least 3 cm and completely… Read more
compromising any spinal support.
To their credit, SD customer service was tentative allowing me to swap to the firm inserts, hoping for better durability, but those also began to sink over time. By the 9 month mark, the mattress started losing irs structure that I found myself needing a massage every two weeks just to manage the discomfort. I kept waking up with muscle aches.
Sleeping Duck has great marketing but unfortunately, the product itself just doesn’t hold up. It deteriorates much faster than other well-established brands. In fact, a colleague recently gave me their 10-year-old custom mattress, and despite its age the difference was night and day—it made it painfully clear that Sleeping Duck was the source of my back pain. I do have a big booty so maybe it doesn't support people with big butts.
If you’re considering this mattress, I’d recommend putting your money toward a reputable brand with a longer track record for durability. And if you’re still within the trial period and feeling unsure, don’t hesitate—return it. I held onto hope that things would improve, but it never did. Speaking to the Op shops, they said they have had several SD in their store fronts.

Not sure at the start but new firmness is just what I needed. Great customer service! – I got the Queen Bed Mach 2 Firm bed and whilst it felt comfortable it didn't feel quite right. Too soft on the hips and that meant my shoulders felt like they were getting squished. I couldn't really put my finger on what it was that felt off. SD sent me a review email and I gave them 4 stars and said why. Shortly afterwards I received an email… Read more · 1
asking me if I wanted to try a different firmness and I was sent the extra firm option, and granted another 30 days sleep test. The new firmness was exactly what I needed, and I was told I did not need to return the other inserts. The customer service and follow up was amazing, and has totally converted me to a long term customer. I also love the removable washable cover, and the capacity to change the firmness of different sections of the bed as your needs change. I got this bed for a room that you will not be able to remove the mattress from easily. (It is upstairs in an attic type space with a small entry via a ladder. This means that I can get new inserts later down the track without having to remove the whole thing if I need to. I am now having a great nights sleep, my shoulders are feeling better and I feel confident that if I have any problems SD will sort them out. Excellent customer service, something that is rare these days!

Thought I was having a good night’s sleep on my old mattress. But with SD mattress, now I know I’m getting the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. So big thanks SD!!! Show details · 1

I've always thought the sleeping duck was way too expensive. When it came time for a new bed, comparing Sleeping Duck with other brands, there was not much price difference. The saying is you get what you pay for. The Sleeping Duck bed is worth every cent. The research that has gone into it, the choices that are offered are amazing.The quality… Read more · 1
materials is amazingand the engineering is second to none. The money I have spent purchasing a Sleeping Duck bed is worth every cent. The best investment I have ever made. I don't regret it and I plan to buy a couple more Sleeping Duck beds.
Negative reviews
Comfortable, but wouldn’t buy again – While the mattress is comfortable, I wouldn’t buy it again. It’s insanely heavy. It’s actually ridiculous how heavy it is. It’s almost impossible to make the bed, and forget about rotating it with one person. It’s also hot. The nights are still in single digit temps here, but I’m waking up frequently from overheating. This was never an issue with my old mattress. When it needs to be replaced, I’ll be looking for something else. Show details

Not worth the money in the long run – We got our Sleeping Duck during lockdown times because we were due for a new mattress. It was good for about a year, but the past two have been a nightmare for sleep in the summer months. The foam retains our heat and the bed gets so hot and uncomfortable. Didn't last us three years. It's also with the firm option become pretty soft so our option… Read more
would be to replace that with another firm topper. It is such a rip off. I also get this feeling that the reviews online are fake.

Terrible Experience – I purchased a mattress 8yrs ago & wanted to change the firmness. After several emails, a phone call & them knowing exactly what mattress I had previously brought they sold me two new foam pieces which I cant use then told me they are not returnable. Absolutely disgusting customer service. Go Koala much better. Next day Sleeping Duck refunded my money Show details

I slept like a hibernating bear the moment it was delivered and unpacked. Thanks Sleeping Duck. I dont think I will ever get any work done ever again. I never want to leave this bed. My goodness its divine. Show details · 1
Wanting to support Aussie businesses, I purchased a locally made mattress just before covid. Unfortunately it starting sagging within 2 years which exacerbated my lower back pain. I finally took the leap to Sleeping Duck after my sister-in-law extolled its virtues. I no longer get up in the morning feeling stiff and sore and look forward to going to bed! Show details · 1
I did a lot of research before choosing a new mattress and eventually decided to go with Sleeping Duck. The main selling points for me were the ability to adjust the firmness level, the excellent customer reviews, and their great return policy. I haven't looked back since — the mattress is of exceptional quality and provides fantastic comfort.… Read more · 1
I chose the firm setting, which suits me perfectly. Previously I had issues with my old mattress because of the back pain, with the new mattress it's gone. There's only one small downside, this mattress is slightly on hotter side, but nothing major. I absolutely love this mattress and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new one.
Was hesitant as I've never purchased a mattress before seeing it for real but honestly the best decision I've made in a long time and never looked back. Super comfortable and supportive. Materials are high quality so I believe it'll last for a while. My sleep is fantastic and if I didn't have a life, I'd never get outta bed. Also I can't feel my other person getting in or outta bed which is another plus :D Show details · 1
We needed to get a new mattress and after being a bit overwhelmed by all the options out there we decided to go with Sleeping Duck. We are very happy we did. The online process was easy, delivery was fast, and they took away the old one and set up the new one. Great mattress, highly recommend. Show details · 1
I couldn't be more impressed with Sleeping Duck. I bought the Mach II mattress and it's been a dream, I also asked for the firm and extra firm inserts which they sent to me so quickly and without cost. Their pillows are bloody amazing too, as I have multiple disc bulges in my neck. They've gained a customer for life and I couldn't recommend Sleeping Duck enough - a rare gem in a sea of grifters!

Excellent service as usual. Needed to refresh my bed after many years. The staff were extremely helpful and made everything very easy. The best bed in the market. Do yourself a favour and buy one. Show reply
I find the mattress to be very comfortable and I feel that it has improved my sleep quality. So far it is winter, so I cannot speak to performance in summer heat. Fitted sheet tends to move a bit, so I have added fitted sheet holders to each corner. When making the bed, I find the mattress to be very heavy when straightening the fitted sheet along the long sides of the mattress. Pleased so far! Show details · 1

Initially bought the firm queen mattress and found it a bit too soft and needed something a little firmer ( because of my lower back pain ) and spoke to sleeping duck , who without hesitation sent me a pair of EXTRA FIRM pads ( free of charge ) to fit in the mattress. And the best part is that you can have one side extra firm and the other firm .… Read more · 1
But we fitted both the extra firm to both sides as my wife also has a medical condition, and now we are both sleeping much better. And the mattress hasn’t sagged at all.
Super comfortable. No sagging. I am nearly 80 and have multiple health issues and have found my mattress super comfortable and supportive. No problems with it what so ever. Show details · 1
I’ve purchased two mattresses from sleeping duck and have to say I am so impressed with their customer service. Not only is it prompt and courteous, they are super helpful. I originally ordered two mattresses one week before EOFY and had to return one mattress as I wanted to size up. I emailed their support team and asked if it would be possible… Read more · 1
to get the deal considering I missed out by a week. They didn’t hesitate to say yes and made it so easy for me to order the second mattress at a discounted price. Amazing service and love my new mattress - it’s so comfortable that it doesn’t feel real! I would give them 10/5 if I could
We both have hip replacements and find this mattress very supportive and comfortable, waking with no aches or pains and feeling very refreshed. Changing from medium to firm was easy and quick. Great people to deal with. Very happy customers. Show reply
I have found the sleeping duck mattress the best mattress I have ever slept on. We got a firm one but it is still soft and very supportive. I have arthritis in my spine and for the first time every nights' sleep is pain free. To be honest I would just stay in bed if I could. Show details · 1
No more back pain while sleeping. Able to fall asleep more quickly. Mattress is very durable. We love it and believe it is the best mattress we have ever had. Having two bulging disks in my back it has had a positive effect. Show details · 1
I was so skeptical about buying online. I had only ever purchased spring mattresses in-store, and I always spent way too much. I have to say the thing is unbelievable. My kids now want one each for their rooms. I have four kids, so arghhh! Also, they couldn't be any better from service standpoint. I dare you to try and be a difficult customer,… Read more · 1
and see if they don't come up with a solution! Nothing I asked for was ever too much trouble. They constantly check in on you. I thought for a while that maybe they thought I was someone famous because the service was terrific. Someone told me they also found that experience. So, it seems they are just so great.
I have the firm version of the sleeping Duck Queen size, this bed is so pleasant to sleep on, no lumps or bumps and is nice and firm all over. I'm very happy with my purchase! Sleep Duck are terrific to deal with, fast delivery and follow up. Show details · 1
