Dusk & Dawn mattresses are proudly owned, designed, and made in Melbourne Australia. The company prides itself on hand-making every mattress locally, and it is officially certified as Australian Made and Owned. By choosing to manufacture their products domestically, Dusk & Dawn supports Australian families and contributes to the local economy.

Dusk&Dawn mattresses are indeed environmentally friendly. They are made using Australian-made foams and fabrics, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with overseas shipping. Furthermore, Dusk&Dawn proudly uses materials certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Oeko-Tex. These certifications ensure that the materials used are produced in an environmentally responsible manner.

Dusk&Dawn mattresses do not come in a box. The company prides itself on using high-quality materials that cannot be compressed, rolled, or squashed into a box without compromising their quality. This decision reflects Dusk&Dawn's commitment to delivering a premium product, even if it means deviating from the increasingly popular bed-in-a-box model.

Sleeping Duck mattresses are assembled in China, with materials sourced from multiple locations. The foam components of the mattress are produced in Sydney, Australia, while the springs and upholstery layers are manufactured in China. Thus, while some aspects of production take place in Australia, the final assembly occurs in China. To then be shipped back to Aus for sale.

Sleeping Duck was founded by engineers Winston Wijeyeratne and Selvam Sinnappan in 2014. Based in Melbourne, they were motivated to create their own bed after finding the existing process of buying a bed to be expensive, complicated, and frustrating. Selvam Sinnappan currently serves as a Founder and Director of the company. Their mission was to simplify the mattress buying process and provide high-quality, tailored sleep experiences to their customers.

Yes, Sleeping Duck mattresses are non-toxic. The company ensures this by using foams that hold the highest Global Green Tag certification, a certification system that guarantees products are environmentally sustainable and non-toxic. While the mattresses might have a smell when first unboxed, this is normal and non-toxic. However, it's important to note that the AntiGravity Foam used in the mattresses cannot be washed as it begins to disintegrate when exposed to water. If needed, the company recommends replacing this layer.
