Best replacement mattress for our teen son
This is our second koala mattress. Our sons inner spring 3 yo mattress had already failed and we were so happy with our Queen koala that we got this one for him. It sits well on his ensemble base and supports him well. He has not complained and it is maintaining its shape and firmness perfectly as we had expected given ours is 3 yo and is still like new. It is a fraction smaller in size than his other mattress was but that isnt causing any issues at all and his bedding actually fits better.

Wonderful inexpensive, quality mattress
I purchased a King Single Koala mattress in December 2022 to replace my previous, very expensive 9 month old AH Beard mattress which was causing almost unbearable back pain.
After the first night on my Koala mattress my back pain began to ease and was totally gone after 3 days. As an unexpected bonus my knee pain dramatically diminished as well. I used to dread going to bed and couldn't wait to get out of it; now I actually look forward to going to bed and I'm happy to linger in bed in the morning :)
So far I have not noticed any sagging and...Read more

Dont bother
Just dont!! When I first purchased this mattress I was so excited. I wanted to know what the hype was all about, & people werent wrong. After suffering for 9 months from back and hip pain during pregnancy on my old mattress I found the koala to be incredibly comfortable to sleep on. No more back pain! Hip pain gone! My biggest problem with this mattress is that I feel somewhat lied to. I bought the koala mattress under the impression it was toxic free. ITS NOT!! If you do your research properly you will indeed find it does off gas VOCs. To my h...Read more
orror I had unknowingly been exposing my brand new baby to the harmful chemicals the mattress contained. Whether they release a little or a lot, voc gasses are not ok. I would rather the hip and back pain over toxic gasses filling my room any day. Dont waste your money like I did.!!Purchased in June 2021.

Hello Emma,
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. Here is some information about our mattress, I hope it helps... Read more
The Mattress has no Auxiliary Blowing Agents - Methylene Chloride or Liquid Carbon Dioxide has a VOC emission rate below 0.5 g/m2 per hour, Exceeds Australasian & Global environmental regulations and Outperforms all other conventional foams. The way we are able to deliver such a high grade and health-conscious mattress is that the Koala Mattress is made of Dunlop foams, which is a GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) certified foam with a "GREEN STAR RATING" - http://www.geca.org.au/why-purchase-certified-products/. The Dunlop brand is instantly recognised and respected; it represents integrity, quality and value. Having production of the mattress here in Sydney means we are able to make regular visits and have a great relationship with our manufacturers. Another awesome thing is that our comfort layers are certified for the highest fire retardant rating. However, they do not contain any fire retardant chemicals - there is netting around the mattress which acts as a fire retardant and this is made 100% Polyamide aka Nylon. The reason for this is these have been shown to have potentially dangerous chemicals in them. Last but not least the mattress glues are formaldehyde-free and our mattress is Proudly Vegan.

Extremely comfortable
From the first night sleeping on my new Koala mattress i have not had a sore back or hips. I wake refreshed and pain free. When you sit on the side it is softer than other mattresses but that not what it there for, its for sleeping on. I will be getting higher legs so my standing up from laying down is easier, as you dont have springs to help you up. all in all after 2 weeks i am very happy with my purchase. i didnt have to get used to the mattress, it was perfect for me from the first night. Cannot remove my answer further down

Disgusting condescending customer service by staff and team leaders
the colour of the mattress will discolour within the first week because of humidity. once you take the cover off to wash it it is really difficult to put back on and zipper will break. also the size of the mattress is different to the bed base. when you call to ask for assistance staff will be insulted. oh and they don't reply to voicemails or web chats so don't even bother.

PERFECTUMUNDO!!
This mattress is awesome. My son has Autism & is very sensitive to touch so it was a big deal for him to change mattresses. We have found him to be sleeping slightly longer which means a lot when he wakes at 4.30am every day, its now 5.30am! We will be purchasing one for ourselves!!

Looking forward to spending a third of my life on this
I have nothing but good things to say about the Koala mattress. Every individual may prefer slightly different levels of firmness, but I found it just right.
I can’t speak concerning the durability of the mattress, as I’ve only used it for around a month. (But, so far so good!)

Great purchase
Have purchased 2 King Single mattresses for our adult children, they couldn’t be happier. My son has stated that it’s the best night sleep he’s had in a long time. We haven’t had the Koala mattresses for long but so far so good.

Confusing start but excellent sleep
The mattress is fantastic to sleep on. So it lived up to the advertising. I was a little frustrated with the delivery process, but this was manily third party related however still reflected on Koala (I am regional). But I would still order from them again!!

Excellent customer service
I purchased this mattress online, the delivery came next day in an agreed time window . Honestly the product is not bad, but for some reason i was missing the support you get from a spring mattress. Although this mattress does not sink in, but I am a heavy person so need support to twist and turn. I called them after 1 month and they picked up the mattress and gave me full refund . To me that’s really good customer service.

Koala Mattress Is Superb......
I bought the Koala Mattress 2 weeks ago after many high priced failures with spring matresses. I vowed never to buy a spring mattress again and bought the Koala. This is a great mattress at a great price, and I have been sleeping like a baby for the last 2 weeks. It's well thought out (look at the box when you get it), well packaged and is ready to go without any smells (as some other foam mattresses have). The 10 year warranty seals the deal for me--this is a great purchase for a decent night's sleep.

The most comfortable mattress I have ever had
I kept on seeing ads on social media and a couple of friends said they loved there mattress, so when my mattress broke I decided to purchase a Koala mattress, I have only been sleeping on my mattress for a few weeks but the best decision I ever made so comfortable and supportive.
Wouldn't hesitate to refer Koala to my friends.

Sore shoulders and back...not even a year and my mattress is sooo soft already
I bought the mattress Aug 2017. At first i thought it was good and very comfortable. And in March this year, i noticed that it was getting soo soft. My sister owns another koala mattress which she bought about 2months earlier than when i bought mine. I notice her mattress is still firm. She also noticed mine was very soft. I wake up with very very sore shoulders and lower back pain. I don’t think i will purchase another mattress from Koala

Questions & Answers
macasked
there seems to be a Q about discoloration of the foam. Unless it's a fault it's not a concern but wondering if the cause is known and will it be of concern further down the years?
3 answers
Koala S.Koala
Hi Mac,
I’m sorry to hear you're having issues with your koala mattress; the yellowing is caused by a chemical reaction called phenolic yellowing, this is completely harmless but can affect the mattress when they get a little too hot when wrapped in the plastic. We will be happy to replace the cover for you if you could fill in the warranty claim form we will get this out to you ASAP.
The mattress is safe to use, as the reactions is only causing a colour defect and I suggest keeping the exisiting yellow cover after the replacement cover comes as a sneaky spare if you need it.
https://koalamattress.typeform.com/to/yPQbEV
Once you have filled in the form, our warranties team will dispatch you a new mattress cover ASAP. All yellowing claims will be accepted so just stand by for tracking information.
thanks, your answer appreciated. It was only a hypothetical Q so no action required. I am requesting the return of the mattress as it did not suit me after 3 nights use.
When we got our mattress it had yellow discoloration on it I was asuming we got sent one that someone sent back and then koala vacume packed it again and sent it out to us like it was a new one. This comment has cleared it up tho. Thank you
