Overview

The Emma comfort was designed after 2 years of feedback from the best-selling original mattress. Emma Comfort has two layers (Original has three layers) by combining the middle and bottom layers of Emma Original for better support and pressure distribution. As a two-layered foam mattress, it provides even body weight distribution and conforms to your individual shape for maximum pressure relief.

Sleeping Duck is a mattress in a box company that is based in Australia and has won multiple awards, turned down shark tank investors, plus won Australia’s ‘Best Innovation’ Mattress in a Box for 2019. The quality of Sleeping Duck speaks volumes and matches its achievements. Lately, it’s gone through a significant rebrand and is now called SD Mach II with improved aesthetics, functionality, and a few layer name changes. However, what's excellent is the comfort of the mattress is unchanged, and now it’s more comfortable to interchange the foams, so you get a range of firmness levels. Existing reviews are still certainly valid for this new model.
