Dux Bed
Positive Lower part of bed well constructed.
Cons: Pascal springs wear out as well as top pad.
We purchased the Dux top of line bed about 4 years ago.
Had the Pascal top springs replaced after about 2 years
at no cost to us.
Now the pillow top has mashed down and they want $1200.00 to replace it.
We are average sized people so that means they would expect us to replace this part of the bed for $1200.00 every 4 years.
We contacted the distributor who wrote us a nasty letter stating that all top pads will wear out just like tires on a car. They really don’t care about customer service or referrals.
You will note that there is no phone number for their main office in Sweden. I have been searching the net but only come up with branch offices.
I guess that tells you something.
Up until now we were pleased with the bed but now believe we made a mistake.
I’m still in heaven after 14 years!
Positive Better sleep - a month of extra REM-sleep per year!
Cons: High cost, but worth it
I got my DUX in 1992 (was unemployed and concerned about spending so much money). My back, neck, shoulder and hips were in continual pain. Obvious that I was either falling apart @ age 48 or needed a new mattress. Bot a DUX mattress, after tremendous research.
Best thing I ever did - still love the mattress, still sleeping better than ever, and most of my friends now own them.
Felt too soft when first tried in the store. Went in 7 times, b/c I couldn’t imagine spending that much. Even took a very heavy friend to lie beside me just in case I ever ended up with a husband or b-friend. Surprise - we didn’t roll towards ea other. One evening, still thinking it over, trying out the bed in the store, I fell asleep for half an hour! Tapped my savings, bought the mattress, aches and pains gone, sleep well, BEST money I ever spent!! Get one if you can.
After seven years…this mattress sucks big time
Positive zipper is good
Cons: coils compress quickly; lumpy; not worth a tenth of the price
My husband and I are both average (I am 135 lbs at 5′2″ and he is 175lbs at 6 ft) and this mattress fails in every respect. It is lumpy; it coils compressed almost immediately; it needs constant unzipping and moving of the three separate coil systems; and we wake up unrefreshed with backaches. I bought an extra-long twin for my son (then 13 yrs old) and he has the same issues. Read the articles by the former mattress salesmen on wikipedia then buy something else.
15 Years and Still Going Strong
Positive Long-lasting comfort
Cons: Women may find this bed more comfortable than men
I bought this bed after a back attack 15 years ago, and have not had any problems at all since then. I find my queen-size model incredibly comfortable (they don’t make this particular model anymore). I prefer it to any bed at the Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton hotels. I think it’s especially soothing to women, as it curves in where your body does and gives where you need it so that you back stays straight. My husband, on the other hand, does not like the bed at all and considers it too soft for him. Although the bed was expensive, I expect to use it for the rest of my life.
DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY
Positive IT’S LOW TO THE GROUND AND IT HAS NICE LEGS
Cons: IT’S TOO SOFT. IT HAS NO SUPPORT. IT DOESN’T FIT SHEETS PROPERLY. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I BOUGHT MY DUX BED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF BACK AND NECK PROBLEMS, I SPENT CLOSE TO $5000.00 FOR THIS BED. IT WAS THE WORST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE. MY NECK AND BACK ARE WORSE THEN EVER. I CAN’T GET A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A BED THIS EXPENSIVE THAT YOU HATE. IT’S BEING MOVED TO THE BASEMENT AS I WAIT FOR MY DELIVERY OF A KINGSDOWN BED. I HOPE THAT IT WILL BE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS.
BUY A VI-SPRING INSTEAD
Positive THE NAME (NOT SURE IF IT MEANS ANYTHING ANYMORE)
Cons: PRICE, DURABILITY, COMFORT LEVEL
I HAVE OWNED A DUX FROM 15 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW PASCAL 7000 SERIES. IT STARTED SAGGING IN MONTHS. THE NEW DUX IS NOT LIKE THE OLD DUX, CHEAPLY MADE, DOMESTIC MATERIALS AND A CHEAP COIL STRUCTURE. SORRY THE NAME MEANS NOTHING TO ME ANYMORE. IF PRICE IS NO OBJECT INVEST IN THE VI-SPRING. A TRUE HORSE HAIR MATTTRESS MADE IN ENGLAND. SURE IT STARTS AT $10k AND UP, BUT IT FEELS AMAZING. 13 MONTHS AND IT LOOKS LIKE NEW AND FEELS LIKE NOTHING ELSE. I FIRST TRIED IT AT A HOTEL IN PARIS AND FELL IN LOVE AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT.

Mine has started to smell strongly of latex
Positive Comfortable
Cons: Top pad wears out quickly, and smell strongly of latex. Very expensive.
I think my bed is fairly comfortable, and have been satisfied with it until the top pad started to smell strongly of latex. I guess it’s time to replace it after 5 years, but instead I just ordered a McRoskey Mattress. It will arrive in a few weeks, but I bought the cloud and it’s meant to last 20-30 years. And it’s the mattress that the Queen of England uses…
I think Duxiana’s are okay beds, but I worry about the latex.
Regret buying this bed
Positive Sleek design. Integrated headboard.
Cons: Over-hyped, not comfortable, waste of money
We bought our Dux bed 6 years ago. I started regretting it about 3 years ago when the cotton pad started compressing. I then purchased a separate memory foam top pad and put that on top.
Then Dux came out with their own latex top pad and suggested that I buy that to replace the old cotton pad. I did - $1900 - and it’s been about 2 months and the latext pad is totally lame. It is only about 2 inches thick. It feels like one of those inflatable pads for your sleeping bag.
Also, by the way, in the past 6 years, it’s cost me more than $2000 for Dux sheets because since their top pad is thinner than all other beds, you have to buy their own custom fitted sheets. And then of course, unless you want to go with mismatched sheets, you buy their entire flat sheets and pillows, etc.
It’s total hype in my opinion - for the past couple of months, I’ve had such terrible sleep on the Dux that I’ve resorted to sleeping on the 10 year old Serta mattress in our guest bedroom.
Unhappy in Dux land
Positive Six Adjustable Pascal Springs. Dealer lent softer Pascal pads when my wife was pregnant
Cons: Expensive, Top Pad needs to be replaces, Springs too soft over time. Useless Warranty
I bought a 7007 in 1999. Duxiana does a great job at selling Mattresses. You can go to the store and try them out for as long as you like. They sell great high end sheets and comforters. Everything in there store is meant to provide a luxury experience
The bed was great for about 2 years then it has been too soft ever since. The bed also has a cotton top pad that needs to be replaced every couple years according to the manufacturer at a cost of $800.
In 1994 I had the local Dux dealer come to the house to evaluate the bed and the young woman pressed down on the springs a few times told me that nothing is wrong. I have been suffering with a bad hip on this bed ever since. I hate the thought of replacing a $6K bed.
I look forward to hotel stays when I can use a Westin Heavenly Bed and have no pain at all. In my opinion that is sad to say after spending $6K on what should be a dream mattress.
Shockingly Expensive, but worth every penny.
Positive All of the aches and pains you normally wake up with will miraculously disappear.
Cons: SHOCKINGLY expensive. Accessories are even more shockingly expensive.
I’ve owned this bed for 16 years!! There is no better sleep system & there is no more comfortable bed. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to sell you something or rationalize their own (more frugal) choices.
A few years back, some of the wooden support slats underneath the bed cracked. (Kids jumped on the bed once too often). I informed the company and they sent workmen over the next day to replace them! Gratis! You get what you pay for.
Great bed for my back problems
Positive Great service, great sleeping comfort
Cons: Expensive, but well worth a good nights sleep
I bought a Dux bed, king size, after spending a year researching various other quality beds. The Dux bed has improved my sleeping, I do not toss and turn as much, I wake up better rested, all because the bed all but eliminates my back pain. Additionally the installation was without problems. Later I got a new bed frame, the the Duxiana bed store, Brea, CA, gave me new bed, taller ones, at their costs. I have been more than please with my Dux bed and highly recommend it to others.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
Positive Comfort, durability
Cons: People want to sleep over all the time.
This is the last bed I will every buy. After years of horrible sleep a friend told me about the Duxiana bed he and his girlfriend bought. Since my bed was beginning to cause me problems just after a few years of use I decided to give it a shot. I was so impressed I even bought one for my guest room. Every time someone sleeps over they tell me how good of a nights sleep they had. Although it is pricey I would recommend this bed to anyone looking for a good nights sleep.
Not Worth The Money
Positive Attractive, strong mattress edges.
Cons: Breaks down and excessively expensive.
Like other reviewers, we purchased the Duxiana bed a few years ago thinking it was the best we could buy for our aching backs. It was for a few years, but not we ache just like we used to. At the Dux store they said we should replace the topper for $1200. I don’t think so. It is a rip-off.
Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on
Positive Roomy, comfortable, eases back pain
Cons: Top pad tends to slip down and must be adjusted when making the bed.
My king size Dux bed is the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. I am forty and my husband is forty seven and both have experienced the aches and pains of growing older. After several car accidents where I was hit from behind, my back was in sad shape. The Dux bed was the best investment I have made for my back. I loved it so much that when my then twelve year old daughter needed to have corrective surgery for severe scoliosis(two metal rods inserted around her spine), we promptly purchased a queen size bed for her. She also loves her bed. The dux beds are roomy, and very comfortable….I think they are well worth the investment.
Save your Money!
Positive nice wooden legs
Cons: Uncomfortable. Disgraceful customer service. Foam top dies.
Our Dux bed was the worst purchase I have ever made. It is so uncomfortable!! Like some other reviewers, it felt great for a few months, and then just “died”. We feel like we are sleeping on a very expensive futon. And the company is completely unresponsive. Once they get your money, thats it. WE thought we were the only people in the world who hated their Dux (we call it the “Sux” bed) until I got here. We are finally going to stop punishing our bodies and get rid of it. Probably on Ebay or to the Salvation Army!
