My Husband made our amazing bed frame to suit the new Koala mattress. We are both very impressed. Easy to purchase, delivery was quicker than expected. Courier was really good for our remote location.

Very happy so far

The customer service and ease of ordering this mattress is amazing. Quick delivery, easy to open packaging and the mattress itself seems of great quality too. I also love that you get to 'adopt' a Koala with your purchase. The mattress is on the harder side so if you want something soft and fluffy, it's not for you. But if you prefer hard mattresses, this one will give you great support. Only 2 weeks in so far but I think I'll keep it.

Disappointed!

published

Very disappointed as I found the mattress to be way too hard and very uncomfortable. It seems hot too and it gives off a very strong toxic smell which is still there after two weeks.
The mattress sits quite low and seems quite cheap feeling. I now think its a bit of a rip off compared to other mattresses.
Its a hassle to shop for a new one and return the Koala but theres no way I can sleep on it.

The best sleeps Ive had !!

published

The mattress is so comfortable, & very supportive I absolutely love it, I am getting the best quality sleeps I can ever remember having so far .
My husband has neck & back issues, & he is sleeping better, he used to wake up with sore shoulders neck & back, now that we have this mattress most of his aches have gone.
The mattress has maintained its shape & firmness . Weve only been sleeping on it for about 3 weeks but so far it is living up to its reputation.
I will do another review in 6 months & hopefully we are still sleeping blissfully on our Koala king mattress. :)

Exceptional service

published

I tried the koala mattress purchased it in 2022. I found it too hard for me personally.
This is my third bed in a box experience. I have never returned any of my other ones( different brands) And just disposed of them. However I was within my 120 day guarantee. I emailed koala letting them know it wasn't for me. They emailed me a return number and times for mattress pick up. The following week I followed instructions for pick up and within 3 hours of pick up received a refund notification from koala. They honestly do come through with there guarantee.
Great experience! If they brought out a more plush version mattress I would definitely be purchasing. Thank you koala for practicing what you preach.

Sags over time

published

Initially thought it was quite good. But 2 years in the mattress on my side has sagged badly and is now giving low back pain. Service and delivery were excellent though. I’m extremely disappointed that I have to go buy another mattress now, will not be koala. Buyer beware.

This is our forever brand

published

How did I sleep in a wire mattress for so long?! Koala mattress is not only affordable, cover washable and breathable it is super super comfortable. We love it and have bought a second for the guest room knowing our guest will be as comfortable as we are at night.

Best night sleep in years

published

No more back pain, wonderful nights rest, much cooler then the old Plush mattress, no sagging, no partner disturbance, all in all a fantastic investment along with the Koala Pillows.

Love our new King Koala mattress!

published

I love our Koala mattress! It's firmer than I expected but it is so comfortable and supportive. I'm having a much more restful sleep. The customer service experience is also first class! Thank you Koala!

Finally a mattress from the heavens!

published

I was a little apprehensive but after reading the reviews I just had to see for myself what the fuss was all about. OMG! After a quick online purchase and even quicker delivery where I could track its every move on line, once I received the mattress and tried it that day what a difference indeed. Comfort, design, and it looks great with its own cover!
And just the fact that you can exchange it if it doesn’t suit, every step is easy with Koala why wouldn’t you try it yourself the reviews are accurate!! Try it what are you waiting for!

Love the company and like the mattress, just a little too firm

published

Love the company and their service offering. Mattress is superb quality and can not fault it except it is just a little too firm for me. I’m keeping it however as I have resolved the firmness with a foam topper.

Mattress and bed purchase

published

The best and most PERFECT Bed and Mattress purchase I have ever made. In the past i have spent significantly more money on bed and base options that were not even half as good as what Koala offer. I was first drawn t them for their kindness in supporting our beautiful Australian Koalas and charities in general. Then i saw the AMAZING customer reviews for their beds and mattresses and decided to see if the reviews were true. I can honestly say that they are. I will never look further than this brand for all my bedding requirements. Trust the brand...it really is AWESOME! Customer after sales service is 100% 2nd to none. Incredible actually. thanks guys! happy as :)

Hi just got our mattress last night just wondering do you guys recommend rotating or flipping the mattress? Would we be okay just to leave it how it is? Just seen a few people saying they’ve gotten indentations where they sleep.

Hey Corey!

I don’t actually work for Koala, but I bought my own a few weeks back

Koala do recommend rotating it 180 degrees every 6 months to make sure you are using the mattress evenly

Hope you love it as much as I do!

Koala
Phil O.Koala

G'day Corey,

Sleepwell2000 is right! We definitely recommend rotating your mattress.

Body impressions (where your shape is reflected in the mattress) are completely normal in all types of modern mattresses, including the Koala mattress, and you shouldn’t be alarmed. These occur over the first few months of use where the comfort layers on top of the core are settling to the body weights and most common sleeping positions used on the mattress.

We recommend rotating your new mattress to help create more even settling of the comfort layers especially where there are two individuals with different sleeping styles or weights using the mattress.

Hope you love your new mattress as much as Sleepwell2000!

Sweet dreams,
The Koala Dream Team.

Am I able to store the mattress for a few weeks standing on its side or will this deform it somehow?

I live in New Zealand and have just bought a koala mattress from someone who never opened or used it. I don’t know when it was first purchased so don’t know if it’s under warranty.
My issue is that when we opened and unwrapped the mattress it didn’t inflate like the videos show and after a few days it still doesn’t seem to fill the cover. Will this change? Should the seems be on the edges?
Thanks

Hi Audrey,
Thanks for your question, I'm sorry this has happened. I'm afraid I don't have good news-
Our warranty and trial are not transferable, meaning it is only applicable to the original purchaser.
There should be a production date stamped on the outside of the mattress box and also on the care tag. Our mattresses need to be opened within 8 weeks after this production date, they are not designed to stay in the box for long periods of time.
The last mattress we sold in New Zealand was in August 2018 which means the mattress you have was compressed in its box for at least 9 months.

What happens to the mattress if it’s stored in the box beyond the 8 weeks?
