In-depth review
Construction
Sleeping Duck give you the ability to choose between Medium and Firm. If you decide to request an adjustment after that, you can then select from 4 different firmnesses – Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm.
The Sleeping Duck mattress is assembled in China but made of 100% Australian-produced materials. It features a 3-layer hybrid construction that combines pocket springs and pressurised foams that are more breathable than standard foams and produced without chemicals, making it safer and healthier for sleepers.
The three layers of the Sleeping Duck mattress include:
- Antigravity Surface Foam – This proprietary foam offers a feeling of weightlessness by combining the pressure-relieving quality of memory foam and the buoyancy of latex. It is also highly breathable so you stay cool throughout the night.
- ComponentAdapt Customisation System– A layer of high-density polyurethane foam controls the firmness of the mattress. Choose between medium, firm, or both, if you are a couple with different sleep preferences.
- Motherboard Multi-Zoned System – A layer of individually-wrapped pocket springs makes up the base of the mattress, delivering zoned support to cater to key areas of the body, including hips, lower back, and shoulders. Each spring responds to pressure individually to prevent motion transfer.
Mattress cover
The three layers of the Sleeping Duck mattress are wrapped in a soft and silky bamboo cover. Bamboo is naturally breathable and antimicrobial, helping your bed stay fresh for longer.
The BreatheTech vortex-spun bamboo cover can be unzipped and removed, and it can be machine-washed.
The removable mattress cover allows for comfort adjustments. When you request a change in the comfort of your mattress, Sleeping Duck will send you a new foam piece to install on your own. All foam pieces are colour-coded to make it easy for you.

Thank you!
How can I adjust the firmness of my mattress?
If you aren’t satisfied with the firmness of your mattress, contact customer support and they will send you a piece of foam to replace in your mattress. You will need to unzip the cover, remove the piece of foam currently controlling firmness, and replace it with the new foam. Foams are colour-coded to make adjustments easy.
How do I decide which firmness to choose?
Consider your sleeping position. Medium firmness is generally recommended for side sleepers, who need a bit more give around the shoulders and hips. Firm comfort tends to be better for stomach and back sleepers who need more support to keep their spine in a healthy position. If you find that your chosen firmness isn’t right for you, you can request a free firmness adjustment within 100 days of purchase.
How do I properly care for my Sleeping Duck mattress?
Spot clean the bamboo mattress topper and rotate, not flip, your mattress once a month for the first 4 to 6 months. After that, rotate it a few times per year.
