Very comfortable, great deliver time
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.

The opposite of a good physio
My partner and I bought this mattress about 8 months ago- originally purchased due to my partner bouncing our old mattress up and down as he turned at night, continually waking me up in the process.
The good news about this mattress is it does exactly what is advertised- I cannot feel him move around at all.
The bad news is it is terrible for light women and even worse if they have pre-existing back/neck pain.
The first month was pretty bad- I would wake up with a sore neck and some lower back pain. My partner was absolutely loving it though a...Read more

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.

Issues with mattress
Koala has great customer service- I absolutely could not fault the staff in their email or call centre. Unfortunately when I had an issue which required the warranty team to look into it they were very unhelpful.
Our mattress is raised in the centre and has harder in patches throughout. When I spoke to staff they actually admitted that this was a common issue with mattresses bought during that time period and encouraged me to complete the warranty form. While I explained that I had completed this form many times and to no avail she encouraged...Read more
me to complete it one more time. Again, the warranty form was rejected. From a sleeper that had no physical issues I often wake with back pain now and feel frustrated that I will need to purchase another mattress to resolve this issue.4 comments

Disappointed!
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 !!
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. :)

Didn't last me 6 months. Sagging is very disappointing.
I decided to treat myself to a new mattress and Koala seemed like the obvious choice. Australia's no.1 mattress. It arrived, it was amazing, had it on the floor for a week, best sleep of my life.
I then put the mattress on a solid bed frame with solid slats no more than 7cm apart (as per the instructions on the Koala website). Customer service also assured me that this type of bed would be perfectly suitable.
As soon as the mattress was up on the frame, I noticed the partner disturbance was affected. I could feel my partner turn, get in bed, I ...Read more

Exceptional service
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
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
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
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.

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!

Never again.... SAG SAG SAG
Before purchasing we asked how body impressions/ sagging would be with the mattress.
We were told that you shouldn't have a problem and if you do contact support.
With the money back trial period we figured we may as well give it a try.
The mattress was delivered within a few hours from purchase.
Mattress was at home, we had a week of very comfortable sleep, then the mattress started sagging (to the point that if the mattress is on the floor, while laying on the mattress the centre of your body sags down to the flood through the mattress)

Finally a mattress from the heavens!
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
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.

No idea how this has so many good reviews
I am am avid researcher when it comes to purchasing products. I was reassured by so many 5 star reviews that surely this must be a great purchase and an excellent mattress. I was very excited when I made my order for a king size mattress.
The ordering process is easy and simple. The mattress arrives very fast. However, when we unpackaed the mattress is STANK of such strong chemicals. We called them and they said it was because they make loads then pack them straight away so they don't have time to air. They say they test the fumes and that th...Read more
ey're not dangerous but they were enough to make me and my partner sick. Constant headaches and nausea after one night on the (very uncomfortable) mattress. So much so the second night we had to close the mattress in the bedroom and sleep in another room because we couldn't stand the smell. The mattress comfort is nil. It made us really hot. It was rock hard. I'm sure some people like a really hard bed but I would have thoughtost people enjoy a bit of comfort along with support. It felt like a cheap block of foam. Nothing special. Not at all what we expected. I am genuinely confused about all the good reviews. I can only assume that, although there must be some people who truly like it, a lot of the reviews must be fake. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time getting this. We requested a return on day 3. The smell lingered for so long. Definitely would not have kept it in the house if we had kids or pets.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Mattress and bed purchase
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 :)

Questions & Answers
Corey P.asked
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.
2 answers
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!
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.

Audreyasked
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?
