Firmness Info
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.
A universally comfortable, medium-firm mattress made for most body types and sleeping positions. The Noa achieves a perfect balance between deep comfort, exceptional pressure relief and durable support for your body. On a scale of 1-10 in firmness, the Noa mattress is a 7. The Noa mattress is the softest feel, the Noa Lite is the firmest and the Noa Luxe falls inbetween both.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
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.
Meet the perfect mattress made of natural latex, cooling memory foam and supportive pocket springs. A dream combination of premium materials which deliver an exceptional sleep experience. The layers are:
  • Hand-Tufted Tencel Pillow-Top Cover
  • Natural Latex Foam
  • Cooling Gel Memory Foam
  • Transition Foam
  • Premium Pocket Springs with a High Density Foam Perimeter
  • Hand-Tufted Side Cover.
Comfort Info
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.
An eco-friendly, breathable Tencel cover, a plush, ultra-cozy layer of latex, gel infused open-cell foams, and individually pocketed springs all work in harmony to provide optimal airflow, wicking away body heat and keeping you cool all night. Adaptive transition foam provides outstanding motion isolation to localise your sleeping partner's movements so you sleep better.
Support Info
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.
Latex provides uncompromising comfort, a nice bounce and pressure relief for your back, hips and shoulders. Coupled with cooling gel memory foam and individually pocketed, thick gauge comfort coils that are designed to respond to your body and provide excellent contouring for a superior sleep experience.
Comfort Specs
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.
Natural Latex Foam
A generous layer of breathable and hypoallergenic open-cell natural latex, this luxurious, 100% natural material provides just the right bounce while keeping you cool all night. Cooling Gel Memory Foam
This gel memory foam keeps the heat away, leaving you feeling deeply comfortable. Individually Pocketed Springs
As the springs are individually encased in a highly breathable mesh material, they allow excellent airflow and breathability.
Support Specs
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.
Natural Latex Foam
Latex is extremely responsive and highly supportive for your pressure points, such as your back, shoulders and hips. You'll feel cradled with a cloud-like comfort feel. Cooling Gel Memory Foam
This premium foam gives you deep pressure relief as it contours and cushions your body. Transition Foam
This foam layer is used for its motion isolating benefits. Allowing you to keep sleeping soundly even if your partner is constantly moving. Premium Pocket Springs with a High Density Foam Perimeter
Noa's signature pocket springs deliver remarkable body support, are highly responsive and offer lasting durability. The thick-gauge steel gives a subtle bounce and minimises motion transfer. Surrounded by a 9cm foam perimeter giving you edge-to-edge support and meaning you won't feel the springs.
Fabric Specs
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.
Hand-Tufted Tencel Pillow-Top Cover
The Noa mattress cover is made of Tencel, an environmentally friendly and sustainable fabric that is incredibly breathable, repels odours and finally, features anti-dust mite and antibacterial properties. Being hypoallergenic it's ideal for allergy sufferers. The hand-tufting helps lock the layers within in place. Whilst the cover is not removable, you can spot clean it or add a mattress protector. Hand-Tufted Side Cover
The side cover has the same aesthetically-pleasing detail as the top. Made with a breathable poly-knit quilt and hand-tufted to give additional security that the internal layers will not shift.
