We bought our bed about a year ago and have absolutely loved it! No noises/creaks or sagging at all. I won't lie, the receiving/delivery of the bed was a bit of a challenge, and hauling each box up my stairs to our bedroom can be daunting for some, but the end result made it all worth it. Assembly was easy, but can see if you are not used to heavy… Read more · 1
lifting, it could pose a challenge for some.This has been one of our best purchases for our home. Worth Every Penny! Our only regret is we didn't buy it with a headboard, so we would love to see if ordering the headboard addition would be possible.

Very solid bed, we have a very heavy latex mattress and did lots of research and we couldn’t be happier, add to that it looks lovely fresh and modern. Follow the instructions to the letter is my advice, was definitely glad of a helping hand. Well packaged and very promo delivery. Show details · 1
This bed frame is the best! I can’t stop telling people about it. Having the best sleep since I bought it. I thought I needed a new mattress but the support from this frame has made all the difference, assembly is easy (at some stages you need two sets of hands). Firm believer that over engineered is better! Great value for money given the quality of the structure and the walnut finish is beautiful. Show details · 1
Great frame that's straightforward to assemble (but I'd recommend two people and a power screw tool). Super sturdy; this thing ain't creaking, let alone budging, in anything short of a tectonic apocalypse, so good luck to me if I ever want to move it to a different room or home. That process is definitely going to involve taking the frame apart… Read more · 1
first along with the power of powertools and prayers to transport. Fits any queen mattress comfortably, good clearance underneath for low-profile storage (I purchased the standard height legs) and charcoal finish with classic oak legs matched well with neutral room decors. 10/10 would sleep on this for the next decade and/or use as a supplementary support structure for any nearby works of civil engineering, like an overpass, bridge or anti-Kaiju wall. Customer service with vendor was also excellent, with them staying in touch through the process regarding shipping schedules and delivery windows. Experience brought new meaning to 'resting assured'.
Ordering was easy online I was able to customise the look of our new king Indestructible base. (No head as used our existing) delivered within a week. We paid extra to get the 5 boxes opened in our room instead of dropped at the door and rubbish taken away. Also paid for them to take away our old king mattress. Well worth paying the extra charges… Read more · 1
as it was all very heavy and awkward. The delivery guys were very professional and friendly and left the parts in good positions for us to assemble. (Could have paid assembly fee but what’s the fun in that) the instructions we easy to follow and we managed to get it together in a hour and a half without any raised voices. Not bad for a 70 and 67 year old couple. This is very well manufactured using very good materials you can tell it will out last us. The comfort is now so much better than our old split bases and our bed is much easier to get in and out of. Very sturdy no movement or sound holds our bed head in place without brackets. Recommend
Although the price of the SD Indestruct Bed is not cheap, I could not be happier with my purchase and think it's definitely worth the money. The quality and feel of every piece is undeniably solid and I'm confident that it'll last a long time, like stated. My mattress felt like it was sagging in the middle on my old base, but on the Indestruct it… Read more · 1
didn't sag at all. Guess that's what will happen when the base of the bed has so much wood compared to just running a few slats across like most bases. Brilliant and worthwhile idea. Although the instructions said two people would be needed to construct it, I had no problem doing it myself, but a bit of strength was needed to lift the solid headboard up into place, others may struggle perhaps. I forked out a little extra on the golden legs and they look pimp. Now to get their mattress, hopefully that is just as good..

We have had numerous bed frames over the years with expensive mattresses on top. After a short time the mattress always dipped where we lay and we… Read more · 2
kept blaming the mattress quality. We recently purchased a SD Queen Base Frame which we assembled ourselves and have been amazed at how supportive of the mattress it is, no more dips instantly. Finally looking at some goodnights sleep without waking to a bad back.
Follow-up · It's been a bit over a month since our bed frame arrived from SD, which arrived within 48 hours of ordering and I haven't slept so well in ages. No squeaks and no sleeping in depressions in the mattress. My wife and I love it.
Follow-up · The bed frame was delivered within a couple of days. Bed is extremely sturdy with absolutely no movement at all. Assembly was easy, recommend 2 people to assemble. Still no sagging mattress. Mattress breathes well though base frame holes.
Very happy – Now i don't have to regularly visit the Chiropractor, which i did for many years. My back feels much better than it has done over many years, thanks to my Sleeping Duck bed. Thank you Sleeping Duck! Show details · 2
Follow-up · Still very happy with sleeping duck, it's just right!
Peter – This bed is awesome. It is the best bed I have ever owned or slept in. If I could rate it 15 out of 10 I would. Forget the rest, THE DUCK IS THE BEST. Thank you. Show details · 2
Follow-up · The sleeping duck bed is still fantastic and we love it. It is a heavy bed because of the steel frame but that is what makes it so supportive. I did assemble it myself and it didn't take long at all. The only thing I wish I did was buy the mattress lifter as it would make it easier to change the sheets. Still love it anyway.
Positive reviews
Excellent bed. So solid, doesn’t make a sound, doesn’t feel like the wooden plates might break and doesn’t move anywhere near as much as other beds. The thing you may want to look into is rubber footing in the legs, it did slide away from the wall a little but after getting sine rubber feet that fit over the bottom the problem was solved. Also… Read more · 1
some raised edges on the frame would be good to add, as someone who moves alot in their sleep the mattress can move and the bed frame doesnt stop it but these are minor things and I still rate the bed frame 5 stars and this frame feels like it could last the rest of my life.
We ordered our sleeping duck King bed and mattress online only to be told we were outside the usual delivery area and would need to speak to SDHQ to arrange an alternative. We were quickly called back and a super helpful staff member sorted it all… Read more · 1
out within a couple of hours. It actually worked out slightly cheaper as we’re were returning customers having bought a queen size mattress a year or so ago. On the day of delivery we were allocated a time but unfortunately it didn’t arrive in that time window. I called SDHQ and they were able to let me know it was definitely on its way. It arrived with some very tired delivery guys who were super helpful and got everything offloaded. Putting the bed together was so simple and it was up and ready in less than an hour. The bed truly is super heavy duty and so well made. Not a creak or any movement ever. The mattress went on and unpacked in a coup of minutes and all looked fantastic. The cost is slightly higher than other brands but like they say you get what you pay for ! We are so happy with our purchase and would recommend the bed and mattress to anyone looking for something to last. We would buy again if we needed any more replacement beds for sure. Well worth the investment. Communication with SDHQ is amazing and so quick to get back to you. Superb customer service all the way.
Thanks again SD
Follow-up · The bed is so sturdy and doesn’t move or creak at all. It was super easy to unbox despite there being 6 boxes. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. The mattress was also easy to unbox and set up. The new smell of the mattress took a couple of days to dissipate and there is no smell at all now. So pleased with this purchase and the… Read more
Best bed base ever! So stable, solid and makes no noise. Easy to assemble. Holds a heavy rubber latex mattress perfectly. We have never slept so well and quietly. Show reply

Was great to start with but not so good now. Gravity layer is constantly moving making bulges, mattress moves on base and base now creaking and making noises. Show details
Good product but for the price I would have assumed SD would have sent all the parts so I could actually construct the bed. The bed requires 6 legs, but I was the unlucky one to receive a package with 2 missing legs. This is something that cannot be figured out until about half way through constructing the frame, which is extremely inconvenient… Read more
and frustrating.
SD tried to blame the manufacturer for not including the required amount of legs, which is a great example of passing the buck. We did not enjoy having to pop the mattress open in the lounge room (bedroom filled with a half constructed frame) for the 4 nights it took for the missing legs to arrive.
SD knew beforehand that some of their frames were missing legs, but the manufacturer couldn't tell them which packages were missing the legs, so instead of checking all the packages or including extra legs just in case, they put it on the customer to figure it out. This is extremely poor service especially when the bed frames alone cost many thousands of dollars.
Not good enough SD!!
Thanks for reaching out Simon, we're sorry to hear… Read more
If you pay an extra $200 for your bedbase to be assembled, good luck to you ! Because I have dodgy knees, and because I readily admit that I am terrible at DIY, we paid $200 for SLEEPING DUCK staff to assemble the bedbase; it took about 7 months for… Read more
them to do it during 5 visits to my apartment by 10 men, no exaggeration. Here we go … the initial men came to assemble the bedbase, however, the bed was creaking & groaning a lot in the following weeks because, unbeknownst to me, they had forgotten to tighten many of the nuts and bolts AND they had forgotten to adjust the central legs of the bedbase (the legs were just hanging in the air). So the 2nd pair of men came; they were shocked to discover that many of the nuts/bolts were very loose so they tightened them. But still the bed creaked and groaned at the slightest body movement, so a 3rd pair of men came out; this pair clearly resented having to fix other people’s work. Very rude (especially the driver). Anyway, they found more loose nuts/bolts (but they failed to notice the ‘floating’ central legs). Still more creaking & groaning from the bed! To emphasise how bad it was, one night I sneezed whilst in bed and the bed creaked and groaned! Just a regular, everyday, non-violent sneeze, so the 3rd pair of men were instructed to come back and replace my bedbase. They came back with a new bedbase (which they left in the truck); the driver said, in no uncertain terms, that he didn’t want to give me a new bedbase, so he tried to fix our bedbase again. Again he failed. Finally, the 3rd pair of men (with the very rude driver) came back again, this time with strict instructions from his boss to replace my bedbase. As usual, I was polite and friendly (“Did you have a good weekend?” / “Would you guys like a cup of coffee?”) but the driver was in a foul mood - perhaps if he’d done his job properly on his previous two visits, he wouldn’t have had to come back so many times). Anyway, this whole saga was due to the absolute ineptitude of the initial assembly team, and due to the ineptitude, stubbornness and rudeness of the 3rd pair of men to visit us. Anyway, we paid about $2200 for a bedbase which took 7 months to assemble, and which kept us awake with its creaking and groaning. And as a bonus, we had to tolerate the rudeness of the 3rd team’s driver, one of the rudest trades-people I’ve ever met.
Follow-up · SLEEPING DUCK sent out another two guys (from the same company that had tried to put the bed together several times) plus the owner of the company (the owner of the company that puts the beds together, not the owner of the SLEEPING DUCK company). They did put the bed together, however one, or both, of the employees left bloodstains on the… Read more

Bed was easy to construct. the instructions were clear and the bed so far after 2 weeks is comfortable. Purchased and paid for the bed in June and received the bed in August, which we weren't sure about but were ok with it. Show details · 1
Sales process was very relaxed and by no means a hard sell. The options were varied enough and suited our style. The bed itself is well made, sturdy and very comfortable. The quality of the finish and build is very good. So far, so good. Would definitely recommend. Show details · 1
We bought the SD bed in Jan 24 but without a headboard as we liked the one we had. It didn't actually work out, and the mattress looked lost. We eventually bought the matching headboard and now the bed looks great and has completed the look of the room. Staff were very helpful and the headboard arrived the next day. Very simple to attach, done in no time at all! Love this bed!! Show reply
We love our new bed - should have ordered the extra firm but also love that we can change our mind which we will do. The service was great and delivery was 2 days later. It's a bit hard to make neatly but looking forward to the auto sheet refresh to be delivered to make it easier. Show details · 1
Warning to all potential buyers- buying this bed will fill you deep buyers remorse. The remorse will come from not buying it sooner! Thank god for the option to visit and test this bed in real life, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the gamble. But it is every bit as amazing as advertised, if not more. A lifetime of sleep issues were gone after… Read more · 1
the first night, and I’m having the best sleep of my life!
Cannot recommend enough, both the Mach II mattress and the indestruct bed frame- absolutely amazing!

Built Like a German Tank. 10 Stars If I Could. I bought the king-size Indestruct bed frame with the side-sleeper mattress, and I honestly can't fault a thing. First, the frame. I come from a construction background, so I notice this stuff, and this thing is precision made. Precision cut, sturdy, seriously high-quality materials. It's built like… Read more · 1
a German tank. The instructions were straightforward and the whole assembly was painless.
Shipping was amazing. The entire process, start to finish, was effortless.
Now the mattress. This replaced a bed we'd had for eighteen years, a top-of-the-line memory foam and latex mattress worth over five grand in its day. A beautiful bed, just too old. So I was genuinely stressed about finding something that could live up to it. I did my research, deep-dived everything, and put my money on Sleeping Duck, largely because of the guarantee. If I wasn't happy, I could've just sent it back. No risk.
Turns out I didn't need the safety net. The mattress is amazing to sleep on and everything worked out better than I'd hoped.
Full marks. If I could give these guys ten stars, I would.
1) the packing of all the items for the assembly of the bed was excellent as all parts were in a very good condition. 2) The assembly process was well documented 3)The engineering of all parts to fit each other were spot on 4) The hand held tool provided for the assembly was so good that i did not have to use any power tool at all. 5) The final result is that we enjoy a solid and comfortable bed.

After a recommendation by a friend I bought both a Mach II mattress and the Baker indestructible bed in the European Ash. So far I'm loving both. The bed is solid and feels and looks premium. Was surprisingly easy to put together as well. Would definitely recommend this to others Show details · 1
Delighted with the bed frame. It is so solid - just as we had hoped. Didn’t try to put it together ourselves - paid to have it assembled. The guys were great - no dramas. Excellent company to deal with. Show reply
After many months of research and advice, I finally purchased the Sleeping Duck Boyd Onyx Queen indestructible bed and Mach II Mattress. It is perfect! I have finally been able to get a good uninterrupted sleep. I have had the bed and base for around 4 weeks and recovering from open heart surgery and lower back pain.

absolute success with providing support to my body as it heals and I am getting an amazing sleep in comfort.
I got the firm mattress foam which has been amazing but I requested the medium input layers also. I prefer firm but as my body heals, the medium has been better in the interim. Inserting the different foam is very easy and I love that the mattress top is machine washable. I will go back to the firm feel later in the year.
Bed construction is amazing and straightforward to put together and it didn’t take long with help, as it is pretty heavy. The bed does not move at all and there no creaks.
I also purchased the standard and tall pillows, which have been fantastic! I no longer get the tension in my neck and headaches.
I look forward to bed each night and this purchase certainly has made a positive impact in my sleep, physical and mental health
I highly recommend this bed and base

Bed Arrived quickly and was fun to unpack and build the base! Took a little while to assemble but this demonstrated its sturdiness as well! Bed head was easy to install and the look is great! Enjoy the size of the King! Still like the firmness with no sag but still unsure between firm and medium! Cheers! Show details · 3
Follow-up · Back from 6 weeks holiday in Europe and couldn't wait to get back in bed with Sleeping Duck!! Bed feels great and hope to try the medium option just to tweak my options!
Love our sleeping duck bed and mattress. This is one of the best products we have ever owned. We have had the mattress for a couple of years and absolutely love it, it’s still like brand new.

also love the fact you can unzip and wash the mattress topper. We finished off purchasing a bed and it is so well constructed and super easy to put together. The service was just incredible. Sleeping duck was so helpful and kept us up to date with each step from enquiries, purchase to delivery and a follow up a week later to make sure we were happy with the bed. I recommend this mattress and bed to everyone who will listen.
