The Good
(Sleeping Duck Mattress Review)

Customisation is the key to Sleeping Duck's success. Customers can choose between two firmness levels, and then switch up layers if it's not suitable. It's easy to contact the customer service reps and ask for a firmer or softer layer. All their foam are Australian made and any foam layer or mattress you return is donated or recycled. Plus, they were recently awarded the top rated mattress by independent tester CHOICE.

It's not easy choosing which Koala feature customers love best. The quick delivery service, seamless returns, and good customer service are just a few strengths. However, we were amazed at how many customers said their back and neck pain disappeared after sleeping on the Koala.

The Bad
(Sleeping Duck Mattress Review)

Easily, the weakness of this mattress is the price. Almost every size is several hundred dollars higher than the average foam design in our index. There are a few mattress with similar price tags, but this is one of the more expensive hybrid models. Below, we explain how the Sleeping Duck's construction and materials contribute to the cost.

(Koala Mattress Review – Why Do Australian’s Love it?)

While many customers love the Koala, there are complaints about durability and firmness. Some customers say adjusting to the mattress takes time, but others found it too firm after several weeks. Others say the lack of edge support makes it difficult to get in and out of bed. Before buying this mattress, see if the company's 120-day trial period applies to your area.

Conclusion

As seen above, based on in-depth comparison research of sleeping duck vs koala, you can observe that despite different manufacturer designs featuring two significant materials, The Koala Mattress and The Sleeping Duck Mattress share the same user experience.

Although, if you look at the pricing of The Koala Mattress, it is a lot less than the price of The Sleeping Duck, which is why people choose Koala over Sleeping Duck mattress.

Koala’s innovative Kloudcell technology gives it a competitive advantage over traditional pocket springs, and you also get a longer trial period for a lower price. The Sleeping Duck has firmness levels that can be adjusted, but when compared to the Koala’s universally adored firmness, the superior firmness will come down to personal preference. In every other way, these mattresses are head and shoulders above the competition.

Thus to conclude, we choose – The Koala Mattress as the winner with tough competition.
