Conclusion
Overall, the Sleeping Duck mattress is a great choice. The mattress offers highly flexible options for those looking to personalise their mattress to their desired degree of firmness. The half-half firmness option is particularly appealing for those seeking the best of both worlds. However, the high cost of the mattress remains a deterrent for those whose mattress needs aren't quite so particular. But if you're in the market for a comfortable and highly customisable mattress, Sleeping Duck is your best bet.
  • Hybrid mattress with customisable firmness
  • Reinforced perimeter support
  • Antigravity surface foam - Porous and breathable

About Sleeping Duck

Established by two Melbourne-based engineers in 2014, Sleeping Duck aims to provide a simplified experience of finding a comfortable mattress based on their own research as well as customer feedback. Some of you might recall them being featured on an episode of Shark Tank in 2017. Since then they've expanded their product range into bed frames and sleep accessories.

In 2018, Sleeping Duck was heralded as the 'top rated mattress' by Choice and was a recipient of the Good Design Australia Award for innovative product design. Aside from the Australian market, they also have a market presence in the UK.
