Interested in a "bed-in-a-box" foam and latex mattresses? Our 2017 mattress review looks at five popular mattresses from brands like Koala, and compares them with a traditional innersping Sealy. Our 2015 mattress satisfaction survey forms part of our annual reliability survey, which asks thousands of members about the products they own, including TVs, fridges, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuum cleaners, steam mops, juicers, smartphones, washing machines and hot water systems. In April and May 2015, we asked more than 5000 people who'd bought a new mattress to tell us: when they'd bought it the mattress brand and type (such as inner-spring, latex, memory foam) what the pillow top is made from (if applicable) how much they spent on the mattress how they would rate the mattress on a seven-point scale from "excellent" to "terrible" (categories are weighted to calculate the satisfaction score) whether they experienced any major or minor problems with the mattress and if so, what were the main issues?
Tempur and Madison owners are more satisfied than owners of other brands. However, most mattress owners are happy overall regardless of brand, with 74% of people rating them either excellent or very good. % of owners reporting a problem* Sample size in brackets. *Base: Up to first eight years of ownership. Out of all mattresses, 49% have a pillow-top, which is the additional padding sewn onto the top of the mattress. The most popular types of pillow tops are cotton, memory foam, wool and latex. When asked about mattress types, inner-spring was overwhelmingly popular. What type of mattress do you have? Other foam (eg polyurethane) In the first eight years of ownership, only 4% of mattress owners reported a major problem and only 16% had any problem at all. Of those with problems, the most common complaint was sinking and sagging (59%). Other complaints include back pain and being hot (memory foam owners were less likely to complain of sagging, but were more likely to have complaints about being hot).
Is it worth paying more for a mattress? People who spend less than $500 on a mattress are significantly less happy with their mattress on average, but once you get over this amount we found it has very little impact on satisfaction. Most people tend to spend between $1000 and $2000 on a mattress, and it always pays to negotiate. Check out our 2017 investigation into mattress industry pricing for more.

Click here to skip down to the review summary. The Sleeping Duck is a 30.5 cm mattress built from layers of memory foam, latex, and coils. Atypical to most mattresses, sleepers have the ability to switch firmness levels by unzipping the cover and swapping out the foam layers. For this review we are focusing mainly on the medium firm version of the Sleeping Duck. Top layer (cooling & comfort) – 1.9 cm of latex foam. This top layer is designed to provide both the cooling and comfort for the sleeper. Additionally, the latex is very responsive, which helps in terms of bounce and prevent any sort of a “stuck” feeling. Second layer (pressure relief) – 1.9 cm of memory foam. This layer is glued to the bottom of the latex layer and helps to work with the top layer to create great pressure relief and a slightly increased degree of contouring. Middle layer (support) – 6.4 cm of polyfoam. This layer is placed below the latex to aid in pressure relief while providing a high level of support for the sleeper.
The polyfoam also functions as a transitional support layer, which helps to create a smooth transition between the foam and pocketed coils below. Bottom layer (support & foundation) – 21.6 cm of pocketed coils. These coils provide the deep compression support for the sleeper as well as the foundation for the mattress as a whole. The cover of the Sleeping Duck mattress is made from a blend of rayon from bamboo on the top and polyester side panels. The bamboo fabric makes for a breathable and soft top layer. Moving down to the side panels, the polyester provides a sturdier wrap around the mattress, helping to protect your bed. Additionally, the cover of this mattress is completely removable. Sleeping Duck designed the mattress with a removable cover to give sleepers the option of switching firmness levels (if needed; see below for more info). While the zipper itself is rather sturdy, the actual track for the zipper is not quite as good. Unfortunately, I ran into a few issues while zipping the cover back up.
The zipper popped off of the track on both of my covers (I tested two for this review). I was still able to get the covers on and off, but the later 10% of the zipper couldn’t be zipped close. Aesthetically speaking, the cover of the Sleeping Duck is nice. They have adopted the two tone, grey and white color scheme with a small dotted pattern running across the top of the cover. Overall, I like the cover, but I would have preferred to see a little more style added to the design as a whole. Firmness, Feel, & Support The Sleeping Duck mattress is available in two firmness levels, medium and firm. The medium firmness is a 6-6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The firm version is an 8-8.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. You can also get a split version, which includes a half medium and half firm. For starters, this mattress has a balanced level of sinkage and hug. Although the sinkage is not very deep, it is certainly enough to help relieve pressure points. The hug is similar, but I would not consider it to be an enveloped level by any means.
This mattress does provide closer to that floating feel, with the exception of the small amount of sinkage you receive from the quilted cover. Next, the support of this mattress is quite good. Hybrid mattresses tend to have high levels of support, but the zoned pocketed coils used in the Sleeping Duck take it a step further. The layers of latex and memory foam do an excellent job of providing pressure relief and a slight degree of body-contour, but the base layer of pocketed coils are what really bring this support to the next level. With 5-zones of pocketed coils, the mattress is able to provide more support where you need it and less where you don’t. Therefore, sleepers have the ability to sleep in virtually any position, as the mattress is able to adapt where pressure is created. Between my wife, Samantha, and I, we cover the main sleeping positions (side, back, and stomach). Whilst sleeping on the mattress, neither one of us felt as if it was not supporting us properly.
Cooling is one of the most notable attributes about the Sleeping Duck. Between the aerated latex top layer and hybrid design, this mattress is able to breathe easily and maintain a cooler sleeping surface. Throughout my sleep test I did not feel as if the mattress was retaining heat whatsoever. Last but not least, bounce. Once again, the hybrid design of this mattress allows for an enjoyable level of bounce. The top layer of latex is extremely responsive, even when large amounts of pressure are applied. The combination of latex and a pocketed coil base adds a comfortable level of bounce, making amorous activities much more enjoyable. As a side note, the motion transfer of this mattress is quite good as well. Due to the top layers of foam, there is a low level of motion dispersed across the mattress. All mattress reviews on Sleepopolis involve a short series of sinkage tests. These tests are designed to provide you with an insight into how the mattress responds to various positions.
Lying on your back – as I lied down on my back with my weight spread evenly across the mattress, I saw 2.5-5 cm of sinkage. Lying on your side – whilst lying on my side, I saw 2.5-5.7 cm of sinkage. Sitting on edge (conservative) – in a normal sitting position with my bottom slightly further back on the mattress, I saw 7.5 cm of sinkage. Sitting on edge (aggressive) – as I sat on the direct edge of the mattress, I saw 9.0 cm of sinkage. Standing in the middle – with all of my weight placed at one point on the mattress, I saw 10-11.5 cm of sinkage. Please bear in mind that sinkage results will vary dependent on your body type and weight. For the sake of reference, I weigh 10 stones. The above sinkage tests are based on the medium version of the Sleeping Duck.

Should I buy the Sleeping Duck mattress? I would recommend the Sleeping Duck mattress to sleepers who: Want a medium or firm mattress – the Sleeping Duck mattress is available in medium, firm, or split feels. This is especially a good option if you sleep with a partner who has a different feel preference than you do. Want a hybrid mattress – the hybrid design means great bounce, response, edge support, and cooling. There aren’t many quality hybrids available online, especially at this price point. Want a supportive mattress – the hybrid design makes a big difference once again here, but especially having zoned coils + foam layers on top. The result is more support where you need it and less support where you don’t. Want a cooler mattress – the pocketed coil base allows for a high level of airflow + a top layer of latex ensures the sleeping surface is both cool and comfortable. The Sleeping Duck mattress is a hybrid mattress made from layers of latex, memory foam, and a pocketed coil base.
