Sleeping Duck Mattress & Bed Base Review & Unboxing (2019)
In this video I’ll be doing an unboxing and review of the sleeping duck bed in a box mattress. I ordered the king size firm mattress with the king size black bed base. In the video I’ll share my thoughts and opinions about the mattress after sleeping on it for a couple of weeks. I thought the great thing about sleeping duck was the fact that they offer a 100 night trial and if you’re unhappy with the mattress they can pick it up for a full refund. Fortunately we were stoked with the sleeping duck mattress so no return here!

I was watching KZread learning how to play a guitar song when my wife asked me to check out mattresses for our daughter. I opened this video and its the same guy who was teaching me guitar!

I wanted to see when you put the mattress on the bed and how it comes out of the box and inflate.
Thanks mate, great honest review. Enjoyable to watch also!!! From Melbourne Australia

Would it suit a heavier person at 115kg do you think or would even the firm not offer enough support?
Thanks for the great, honest and helpful review. 🙏
Great presentation. Very Articulate and helpful. Many thanks.
This was a great review, thank you! I'm currently deciding between a Sleeping Duck, NOA, or Sleep Republic mattress, and it's a difficult decision, ha.

Recommend trying a Sleeping Duck, I've had mine for six years now and it's still great. The 100 night sleep guarantee (www.sleepingduck.com/au/faq/) means that you've got nothing to lose by trying it.
Thanks for the review! Found it soo helpful! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m wondering if you guys are side or back sleepers?
Do you know if this mattress is sold in usa and if so can you tell how I can find it ty great review
Great review. Thanks its helped me. It look cheap compared to others I've seen. I probably need to see one in person to actually know. Cheers
This is surreal... I've been following your guitar channel (thank you by the way for the easy to follow guitar lessons) but never realised you've got a unboxing channel. It surprised me to see your face when the video played :D On the mattress, one year and a bit now, how does it feel, is it still springy or do you notice any sag on the foam?

Haha thanks! Just a little something I do on the side :) No sag on the foam yet!
It would be beneficial if you compared it to your old mattress or other big name mattresses.
did yours fall apart after 6 months? better matresses at the f1 hotel
Go with the Duck. Go with the Duck. It is fantastic.
thanks so much for that, very helpful
Thank you! I wonder if I can put it on my existing bed base?

Hi Annette! When I went in the their showroom they said you can use your own base but for the king size your base should have at least 2 lines of support in the middle like the one you see in my vid. Maybe shoot them an email to clarify :)
Hi Dave how has this mattress held Up over the years?
Had my king for about 2 months now, went with this bed because I was getting bad hip pain from my old mattress, and my now my hip pain has completely gone. I went with the medium firmness also. Fantastic mattress

Now that you've had it for a year, do you still think they're a good mattress? I'm thinking of buying one so I'm curious of what people think of them after several years of use.

@@MaggotDiggo1 yeah I do - it’s still amazing and I’m still having perfect sleeps with it, it’s recommended that you turn it 180 degrees every 3 months I think but I’ve only done that once and it’s still unreal. Can’t recommend them enough.
Thanks for the great review. Still happy with the mattress? Being happy with the firm option, just curious are you a back, side or stomach sleeper?

Excellent, thank you!
Do the pocket springs have anything to do with the soft to medium to firm feel? IE:- spring gauge - thinner / thicker springs. Or are the pocket springs the same across all their mattress range and it's all to do with the foam above the springs , to achieve to desired feel??
@GoComatoseForMe
4 жыл бұрын
They all have the same spring base, the only difference is the foam support layer. Which is why you can swap that layer out (either entirely or specific sections) to adjust the firmness. Between different companies though, I'd imagine the spring base might feel different since they all won't be quite the same. The support layer would probably make a much more noticeable difference than the base in terms of feel, though. (I'm not affiliated with Sleeping Duck at all, I've just been doing an awful lot of research into buying a new mattress! I'm currently deciding between the Sleeping Duck, NOA, and Sleep Republic mattress.)

@@GoComatoseForMe Hi Heidi, The NOA looks good but would like it more if it had handles to assist in mattress rotating. There is good feedback on it. Could you let me know what your final choice is please. PS - I commend you on you writing. You're either good , or you use Grammerly. Lots of people's spelling & punctuation is really bad.

Hi DT Unboxed, thanks for your review, my wife and I have been looking for a new mattress for some time and after much research we will be purchasing a sleeping duck. Another question for you completing off the Sleeping Duck Mattress is, I've been looking for a nice everyday watch and saw yours which looks great and were wondering if you can tell me what is is - thanks Regards Mars

If you buy this and use your own base, be sure its a correct base! Otherwise the bed will have major wear and tear.
Hi :) Thanks for the review. I just have 2 questions around the level of heat the mattress generates as there are two foam layers and one latex. I’m a warm sleeper and the only reason I’m hesitant when buying a new mattress is the heat factor. 1. Did you or your gf find the mattress to be warm? 2. Are you able to switch the mattress layers around so that the latex is on the top of the foam? Any info in this area would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

When you put the mattress on the bed, it looked like the left (of the screen) part of the mattress was lower than the right. Did you notice. How is it now?

Hi Lynne, I think that’s just the way the stitching curved a tiny bit making it look like it was lower. It’s definitely the same height all around though :)
