Everything about this mattress sounds amazing. We are looking for a new bed due to partner disturbance. I am a very light sleeper and my hubby likes to move around and shake his feet while he’s sleeping, causing the bed to move and vibrate and waking me lots. Does anyone have any specific experience with the SD half half king mattress and indestructible bed base resolving partner disturbance?

The 100 day guarantee on the mattress is great, but that is not offered on the base, and we feel that our old slat frame and inner spring king mattress may be equal contributors to the partner distance issue. We don’t think we could effectively test the SD mattress on our current frame. Our other option is two separate sing single mattresses and bases (which unfortunately SD don’t offer). Bit worried about getting stuck with an expensive king base that we don’t need. Will this bed save our marriage (joking- mostly lol!!)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Erika, We're excited you're interested in the Duck! You've certainly come to the right place for a good night's sleep. We understand your concerns with partner disturbance! Luckily we get incredible feedback that no matter which firmness level you have across your Mattress, there is a minimal effect on your sleep from a partner who moves during the night.

This is mainly due to the MotherBoard Spring System, which has been designed with individual pocket springs that work independently to minimise partner disturbance. These springs compress individually in response to weight and move with you instead of moving as one during the night.

The top layer of AntiGravity Foam also ensures an even and consistent surface and locks in your firmness Foam Pads, even if there are two different firmness levels across the Mattress.

Our SD Indestruct Bed is also designed to suit the Sleeping Duck Mattress perfectly, and provide a firm and flat surface for it to be evenly supported. This helps to reduce partner disturbance even further, with minimal movement of the Mattress at night.

While the SD Bed is not covered by our 100 Night Guarantee as mentioned, you can always reach out to our team at info@sleepingduck.com for any further advice as well!

We hope this helps, sing out if you have any other questions. SDHQ

Hi there. Everything about this bed sounds excellent. We are in the market for a new bed due to partner disturbance. I’m am extremely light sleeper and my hubby likes to move around a bit and shake his feet while he sleeps, causing our current bed to vibrate and wake me lots. Our current bed is inner spring mattress on a slat base that could def use replacing. We are looking at half half king, with the indistruct bed base. The 100 day return on the mattress is awesome, and gives me confidence, but that is not offered for the base (and I believe the frame movement is part of the problem and also needs replacing to properly test the SD mattress for partner disturbance). Bit worried about being stuck with an expensive king base that we can’t use if SD mattress isn’t for us and we go down the route of two king singles side by side (unfortunately not offered by SD).

Anyone have any specific experience regarding SD king mattress and base and partner disturbance? Will this bed save our couple-sleeping sanity? Joking (mostly) lol!! Thanks in advance

Hi I’m considering buying the king mattress. I’m hesitant because my husband is of a larger/ heavy build and prefers a firm mattress. I’m worried it’s going to sag and not be suitable for his weight. Has anyone had any issues similar?

Hi Rebecca We had the same concerns now we have slept on the bed for nearly 3 months . We have finally worked out our firmness and we love this mattress.

Hi Rebecca G, Thanks for leaving us a question, we're excited to hear that the Duck is a top contender! It's totally understandable to be a bit hesitant about a big investment such as a Mattress, so we appreciate your concerns.

With the proper care, our Mattress has been tested to last up to 10 years under the weight of 2 people x 140kg (on each side for our Double, Queen and King) without any noticeable dipping. This includes regular rotation of your Mattress, and the appropriate bed base support.

Rotating greatly helps disperse the wear and pressure that each area of the Mattress receives over time. To get the best performance out of your Duck, we advise rotating it by 180 degrees monthly for the first 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter.

We also recommend using the Mattress with a base that properly supports its weight, as outlined in our bed base recommendations that you can read on our warranty page here: external link 

If you find your initial firmness isn't working for you, the Duck's modular design allows you to tweak it until it's absolutely perfect, all in the comfort of your own home.

Any firmness adjustments are free of charge during your 100 Night Guarantee, and if you're unhappy for any reason, also have the option of returning it for a full refund. So you can rest assured that you won't be stuck with something you don't love!

We hope this puts your mind at ease, feel free to get back in touch if you have any other questions at all! Our team would love to chat! :)

Warm regards, - SDHQ

Hi Do I need to use a mattress protector?

Yes I have one on the bed. Makes it even more comfortable and keeps the mattress clean.

Hi Rie, Thanks for getting in touch with us here at SDHQ. While it is not compulsory to use a mattress protector on the Sleeping Duck mattress due to the removal and washable bamboo cover, we often find that people choose to use one.

If you would like to use a mattress protector we would recommend ones that are from light and breathable materials such as Cotton, Tencel, Bamboo as these usually won't change the feel of the mattress.

A really great one that we have found is the brand “In Your Dreams". This is a bamboo mattress protector that fits the Duck and can be found at Spotlight or online.

Please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

Warm regards, SDHQ
