We purchased the sleeping duck about 2 years ago. It started off pretty good, we found it quite comfy and nice to sleep in. However, over the past few months, my partner and I (both stomach sleepers) have experienced waking up with increasing levels of back pain first thing in the morning. After about 10 minutes and some stretching, the pain is gone. After paying $1500 for the mattress, we would have hoped to get more than 2 years use before having shop around for a new mattress. Left a little disappointed, given the reviews.

Sorry but I think it's too soft as we don't sleep well at all. My husband has gone into spare room just to get sleep.

Still waking with lower back pain

The mattress is relatively new, it still sinks in the middle I have had an increase In hip and lower back pain since sleeping on the mattress

Comfortable but I get very hot where skin meets mattress. I am using natural fibers and mattress covers to no avail. It may be a personal thing but I may have to return it if things don't improve.

It’s okay

Don't have any

suffered hip and shoulder pain, not a good night's sleep

Firstly, I want to say this isn't necessarily a criticism of Sleeping Duck's quality. We decided on this mattress after checking Choice magazine's positive reviews and we needed a new mattress. Initially, though my back was still a bit sore, my sleep was better so I was happy that things were improving. However, 4 months on, they've gone backwards to the point where I'm now experiencing the worst sleep ever, quite literally. My back is so sore, it's now waking me up around 2am. I'm pretty flexible for my age and do some yoga every morning and I'm not overweight, either. I kept telling myself that it couldn't be my brand new Sleeping Duck mattress so I've been trying everything else including staying off the lounge, thinking that might be affecting me. However, we've just returned from our friends' place where we spent the night on a mattress that resulted in me having the best night's sleep for months and no backache whatsoever. I want to reiterate that I'm not saying that Sleeping Duck is necessarily bad but unfortunately for me, it's turned out to be a bad decision. If SD could recommend a course of action, I'd really appreciate it.
