Even better than expected
Before purchasing a King Single for our young daughter I read all the negative reviews I could find. Why? Because there were so many positive ones I was suspicious. The negatives turned out to be gripes about return fees because the fine print had not been read etc, almost none about the mattress itself.
So we bought it and could not be happier. The next mattress we get for our bed when the current one needs replacing will be a Koala.

Putting the customer first
Koala has successfully created a business and a model that is accessible, value-for-money and has the customer firmly in mind. To be able to have a quality product delivered on the same day was outstanding. Before now purchasing a mattress was not something I looked forward to - expensive, confusing and with extremely long delivery times. Congratulations to the team behind Koala for disrupting the marketplace and offering a product that is comfortable and user-friendly.

First time trying and I'm very pleased
It is the first time I'm trying this particular type of mattress and i must say I'm very impressed. The quality of the product is most impressive and the customer service from start to end was amazing. I was most impressed with the after hours delivery option, which makes it very easy for people who work between 9am and 5pm. Mine got delivered at 7pm. Overall im very happy and would recommend it to anyone. Also the price is good, considering whats on the market.

Cuddly Koala mattress!!
My experience of buying a mattress has traditionally been to visit a furniture/bedding store and go through the myriad displays to lie down, get up, lie down and then stare at the price sticker for awhile. In the end a salesperson wanders up and asks if I need assistance. I am then led down a winding path of benefits and brochures until finally a choice of mattress that I don't rightly know if I made myself?
The Koala online experience is friendly, courteous even and fun. A little busy for a middle aged life crisis man like myself but overal...Read more
l it was easy to find what I was looking for. I really like that I am helping real life Koalas as well and the little toy koala in the box is a nice touch. I bought a King Single mattress and couldn't believe it fit into the box it came in when I first saw it. Once unpacked and untethered from it's cardboard and plastic, I enjoyed that first bounce. Firm and comfortable, I have slept well this last month and know I will sleep well for many months to come. I recommend Koala for your next mattress purchase. Comfortable, Cuddly and Fun.1 comment

Great online buying experience, super quick delivery and great customer service
Cant fault the whole purchase experience, customer service was excellent. The mattress is firm so if you want a soft mattress, suggest a mattress topper or similar, but its perfect for what we were looking for.

Nice and comfy but doesn't make me sleep better
Mattress is medium firm. It is very comfortable but doesn't live up to claims. I still don't wake refreshed or sleep all night.
Nice covering but don't know how it will stand up to washing.
Update: 3 years out and mattress is still a quality, comfortable mattress. Insomnia is no better but mattress is comfy.

Happy daughters happy life
I bought one king single for my youngest daughter and she loves it. My eldest daughter tried the mattress for one night and wanted one also. We have now purchased our second king single and my eldest daughter has said she does not even wake up anymore with a sore back.

The ultimate accolade.
We bought a Koala mattress for our just- turned 7- year old Grandaughter. As well as the mattress, she got a Certificate proving she has adopted a real, live Koala. That hangs proudly on her wall.
She describes the mattress to everyone as her "very comfy cosy Koala ".
The ultimate accolade? She now asks if she can she go to bed EARLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You won't get a better recommendation than that.

Amazing feeling
The Koala mattress is incredible. My back is often sore from an old injury in the evening. I go to bed knowing that in the morning my back pain will be gone for the day or until I do something something silly. I lay on the bed feeling every part of my back is supported. I do not remember any other mattress offering this type of support. If I do not use the pillow I am even more relaxed when I wake.
My only complaint is that I cannot find a mattress like this to take camping. I have persuaded some fussy friends to purchase one and they are enjoying their mattresses. Other friends are saving for one. I cannot imagine sleeping on another mattress.

Most restful sleep
The delivery and customer service has been second to none, with the mattress arriving the same afternoon. Initial thought was that it would be too soft, yet the mattress is so comfortable and supportive.
We have just had the hottest January, with nights staying in the upper 20 and even 30 degrees, yet still so very comfortable, not generating that heat patch as with other mattresses.

So Comfortable!
The best mattress! I have never felt so comfortable. I am very happy with my Koala mattress, i used to work on my table. Not anymore. I used to lay down for 10-15 minutes, no matter how tired i was. Not anymore. This is the best mattress ever! Highly recommended.

Best Sleep Ever!
This mattress is just amazing. So firm and yet so soft. It's like rolling into a cloud every night and waking feeling rested and peaceful every morning. Best move I ever made purchasing my new Koala mattress! Delivery in the week between Christmas and New Year was pretty amazing too.

They weren't kidding when they said it was like sleeping on a cloud.
An absolutely amazing mattress, so soft and incredibly comfortable. I'll never want to go back to a boring old spring mattress ever again, as nothing will be able to compared to this.

As Goldilocks once said, "Not too hard, not too soft, just right"
I've been using my mattress for about 3 weeks now. I was very excited to purchase an Australian made product from a company which support Koala rehabilitation. The mattress is firm yet has a softness about it which surprised me initially. It took me about a week to get used to sleeping on my new 'koala' and I'm loving it. The quality of my sleep has improved which is really important to me as I work nightshifts and sleeping during the day can be problematic.
The company were very professional and I was blown away by the fact that delivery took...Read more

Koala'ty
My old mattress had given up the ghost well and proper. Being a shift worker, (12 hour days and nights), and needing to sleep well, I did a lot of research to try and find the best mattress I could, at a reasonable price. The Koala mattress ticked most of the boxes. Reviews were good, apart from a few dumb comments, complaining about the delivery times etc, and complaints about past injuries. (No mattress is going to fix a bad back, hips or shoulders, {and I do have a shoulder injury}, although a good pillow may help, and early or late delivery...Read more
has nothing to do with a mattress review). I have slept on this mattress for just over 1 month now, and found it to be everything Koala claimed it to be. I am a big guy (around the 100kg mark) and this mattress holds my weight excellently. Firm with some softness. I find it perfect for sleeping on my back, or my side. It is very comfortable. Some reviewers have said it’s like sleeping on a cloud, and although I haven’t slept on a cloud, I imagine this is very close to it. I found it had no smell that some reviewers complained about, and it was very easy to set up the mattress. Would like to see some reviews from people who have used the mattress for 12 months or more. I would also be interested in buying matching pillows made from the same materials. All in all, I highly recommend the Koala mattress. Feb 2017-I have now used this mattress for over 4 months and have been sleeping very well. Even with the current heat wave we are having, the mattress doesn't get hot. Still very comfortable and holding it's shape. One of the best buys I have ever made.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great mattress
Have only had my mattress for a month so my review is in the short term. However, I no longer wake with a sore lower back, something that I'm really grateful for, and I have a more restful sleep. It's very comfortable - initially thought it was too firm but now it feels just right. I can't fault it. Looking forward to a koala pillow! Also love that it is Australian made and that the company supports our Koalas.

Awful product
These matresses are awful...we had one and wanted to return it after a week due to immediate aches and pains. They made us keep it for at least a month. We persevered and returned it after 3 months as we were both incedibly sore, I could barely bend to pick things up of the floor. Then got a propper sprung mattress and aches were mostly gone the next day. I also think the reviews in their website is phony as they did not post my 1 Star review.. $950 for a piece of foam in a saggy bag...dont buy...

I have only had it a few weeks and it keeps the same shape as when I got in it, Time alone will tell me but so far its magic.

I can't get out of bed! I love it so much.
A week after using my new Koala mattress, I realised that I wasn't being woken by hip pain anymore. Amazing!
I haven't noticed any difference in the mattress from night one, it is better than the $3000 mattress I had been sleeping on.

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
