Firmness Info
Rated as a medium-firm mattress (5 out of 10 on the firmness scale), it offers the right balance between softness and support. This firmness level is ideal for back, side, and stomach sleepers, promoting healthy spinal alignment and reducing the risk of discomfort.
Firmness is the most sensitive and personal element of any mattress. Sleeping Duck have re-engineered the traditional mattress to make it modular, allowing you to pick (and even swap) the firmness that's exactly right for you. Simply choose between medium or firm initially. Rest assured, you'll be able to change the firmness via foam swaps for the first 100 nights for free.
Medium:
  • Suitable for side sleepers
  • Sinks in slightly while being supportive
  • Approximately a 6/10 on the firmness scale.

Firm:
  • Suitable for back sleepers
  • Still feels cloud like while maintaining a strong level of support
  • Approximately an 8/10 on the firmness scale.

Half Medium & Half Firm:
  • A different firmness on either side of the bed
  • Ideal for couples who have different firmness preferences.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The mattress is constructed with high-quality materials to enhance sleep quality: * UltraDry Breathable Cover: An elastic, breathable, and soft-to-the-touch cover that keeps the body comfortable and dry throughout the night. * AeroFoam layer: The top foam layer features open-cell technology, allowing airflow to dissipate humidity and maintain a fresh sleeping environment. * SupportBase foam layer: Provides the right level of firmness without dips and sinks, enabling free movement and support. * 3-zone Infinity Springs: Enhance airflow and offer targeted spinal support, ensuring proper alignment and a cooler sleep experience.
The Sleeping Duck is made for sleepers who want the best of old and new. The Sleeping Duck is Australian designed and combines a combination of technologies in the one mattress:
  • Australian made AntiGravity surface foam (made from high density AirGrown polyurethane foam)
  • Australian made Precision Firmess Pads (made from high density AirGrown polyurethane foam)
  • The Motherboard: a multi-zoned steel spring system
These elements create a highly comfortable, breathable and supportive mattress on both the lumbar and neck.
This award-winning, GECA certified mattress is loved by their customers.
Comfort Info
The Emma Comfort Essential Mattress adapts to individual body contours, providing personalized comfort. The combination of adaptive foam and pocket springs ensures a balance between softness and support, catering to various sleeping positions.
Appreciating that everyone is different, Sleeping Duck allows you to choose from a medium or firm mattress (or half-half on Queen and King sizes). Over the course of your 100 night trial you can change the firmness of your mattress depending on the way you are sleeping. These firmnesses can be adjusted with just the pull of a zip.
The ComponentAdapt customisation system empowers you to take full control of the comfort of your mattress. This is achieved via interchangeable Precision Pads that you can swap out for both you and your partner. After sleeping on your mattress, you can contact the SDHQ who can help you to customise and adapt the mattress with up to 256 combinations possible.
Support Info
The mattress promotes proper spinal alignment and relieves pressure points, making it suitable for individuals with back or joint discomfort. The durable base foam and pocket springs work in tandem to provide consistent support across the mattress surface.
The Sleeping Duck Mach II has a multi-zone support structure to make sure every part of your body is wonderfully supported and comfortable. Pocket Springs are far more resilient and provide better support over a longer period of time. They're specifically designed to ease the human body to relaxation and relieve pressure points by varying the distribution of weight throughout the entire surface.
The mattress has superior edge support thanks to the reinforced spring perimeter through the use of 2.3mm springs on the entire border. This allows you to sleep edge-to-edge, making your Queen size feel like a King, and allowing you to sit or sleep on the edge without the rolling or sliding off feeling.
Independently pocketed springs create zero disturbance between you and your sleeping partner.
Comfort Specs
* Thickness: 22 cm * Foam Type: Adaptive foam with open-cell technology * Cooling Properties: Enhanced airflow through pocket springs and breathable cover
AntiGravity Foam
The top layer was engineered in pursuit of the ultimate comfort. The foam which doesn't contain any latex or memory foam offers superior comfort and cushioning. It actually improves on the combination and provides increased pressure relief, buoyancy and breathability. The hyper-adaptable properties of the AntiGravity foam allows it to rapidly reshape around you as you move, allowing unimpeded movement, not achievable with the more rigid moulding that memory foam provides. It is produced via pressure expansion rather than chemical reactions which means it is 8x more open than latex and memory foam. Furthermore, it's all Australian made.
The use of the pocketed springs allows for far superior air circulation and ventilation than all-foam mattresses. This helps to keep your mattress cooler and drier.
Support Specs
* Foam Density: Engineered for optimal support and durability * Resilience: High resilience to maintain shape and support over time * Weight Distribution: Even distribution to prevent pressure buildup
The combination of the changeable, high-density foam layer and the individually-wrapped pocketed spring multi-zone support layer, creates a system that is highly responsive to your needs.
The multi-zone spring system has three types of springs that are specifically engineered - 2.3mm springs around the very edge, 2.0mm springs through your back and hip zones and 1.8mm springs through your shoulder zone. The shoulder and hip zones conform whilst more support is provided to the lower back and head zones, therefore giving you the required alignment for a restorative night's sleep.
The use of these Twice Tempered IndestructSprings is not just for their ductility, strength and durability properties but to provide comfort and support through proper spinal alignment.
Fabric Specs
The removable and washable top fabric is composed of 99% polyester and 1% elastane, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. The anti-slip bottom cover adds stability, contributing to a decade of quality sleep.
BreatheTech Cover
The vortex spun bamboo yarn top cover is designed for maximum breathability and ease of switching foam layers. Soft and silky to touch, it also has natural anti-microbial properties that keep it fresher for longer. The cover easily unzips and is machine washable. Plus no annoying buttons that you feel with tufted mattresses. This high performance bamboo yarn is knitted to ensure optimal breathability for air and liquid, to ensure it remains dry and cool.
