The Onebed Essential gets all the basics right, with style.

  • Comfort: High-density, viscoelastic memory foam provides unrivalled pressure relief. As your body heats up, memory foam moulds to the natural contours of your body.
  • Support: Supremely high density polyurethane foam provides the longevity required from a mattress. Supporting all sizes of sleepers for a minimum of 15-years.

The Sleeping Duck now called the SD Mach II is Australian designed but produced in China. It combines a combination of technologies in the one mattress:

  • Australian made AntiGravity surface foam (made from high density AirGrown polyurethane foam)
  • Australian made Precision Firmness Pads
  • The Motherboard: a multi-zoned steel spring system

Comfort
Three inches of cooling gel infused memory foam designed to effortlessly mold to the shape of your body. The Onebed Essential gets all the basics right, with style. The design offers a comfortable softness level while leaning toward the firmer side, with a focus on bodily support for a healthier night’s sleep.
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
Five inches of high-density base foam to provide a highly durable platform which maintains skeletal alignment. With a two-inch height reduction, you still get all the luxury bonus features - with all the comfort, support, and durability you need, at a fraction of the price.
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.
