Best mattress I’ve owned
We’ve only had the mattress a few weeks, but I have had the best sleep. I thought, at first, that the mattress was too firm, but it seems to have the right balance of support, and comfort. No ‘partner disturbance’ either!!
Also super fast delivery to a regional area.

Should have ordered sooner!
Awesome mattress. Non-disturbance is best feature. Nice and firm too. Sleeping much better! Staff great & the collection and recycling of your old mattress is a very handy and brilliant service.

New King Mattress
We bought our first Koala mattress 5 years ago. We loved it so much we’ve bought a new one and used the old one for a new guest room. We’ve also bought both our boys Koala singles. Very happy and highly recommended!

Better quality of sleep.
Still getting used to it ( less than a week) but so far Love it! The quality of our sleep has definitely improved, sleeping for longer periods at a time, rather than waking, tossing & turning to get comfortable.
Love the fact there is no partner disturbance, thought our last bed was good but the Koala is amazing!
Delivery was super speedy and mattress easy to handle.
Although we have only been using the mattress for less than a week, it seems very dense and can’t imagine it going out of shape or sagging for a very long time, if ever.

King Size Very Firm
Purchased a king size after previously purchasing a queen size for my son which was very comfortable. The king size is not the same - it is much firmer (my son cannot believe it’s the same mattress). My back aches every night and morning and I have not had a decent sleep since buying . Wish I had kept my old mattress. The soft topper they sent at no cost has not helped :(

Changed my life!
This mattress is amazing. I have noticed a difference in how I slept and how fast I go to sleep.
I was using a memory foam, latex mattress. This one is much, much better

This mattress is so comfortable. I no longer feel hot and sleep well. My back pain has gone and I don't even know my partner is next to me apart from his snoring. I recommend getting the King size as there is so much space. Wish I had this mattress when I had babies and children in bed with me

Sadly disappointed, waste of money.
The first thing I noticed was it is a hot mattress to sleep on, even though it is winter and the room is not heated I found the mattress would heat up and I would sweat.
Second issue was within 2 weeks a noticeable indentation appeared and now after 3 months is a definite wallow ! I dont understand all the good reviews and unfortunately will be looking for a new mattress shortly and wish I had never wasted my money on a Koala.
To be fair my partner does not find the mattress hot but after a few months she has now noticed a dent forming on her side.
P.S We washed cover when we first unpacked to remove chemical smell and tag was washed off. serial number is P051909.

The best mattress and the best purchase process!
I love the mattress, my partner and I are so impressed with how comfortable it is! I also loved the purchase process from start to finish. They offer a 4 hour delivery option, which we utilized and the mattress arrived in 2 hours time (I was blown away but this). The delivery man was very friendly and even explained the best way to lift the mattress box around the house to protect our flooring. I received message updates and phone call when he arrived which I found so informative! Unpacking the mattress was surprising easy and actually pretty c...Read more
ool to do. The after service was just as impressive. I received an email to arrange at no cost to me, my old mattress and bed base to be collected and recycled. We took this offer, it was as easy as selecting a suitable day., we left the mattress out the front and it was collected. I really think this is an amazing company with amazing products, I definitely recommend to the wider web! :)1 comment

Noticeable sagging
Noticeable sagging and strange striped discolouration even with a mattress protector. Only bought this mattress ~4 months ago. Should it be this way already? Bed is very comfy and service to purchase was amazing, however the sag is worrisome only being a few months now old.

Most uncomfortable mattress I’ve ever owned
While I can’t fault the customer service, who have been amazingly helpful - even gifting us a mattress topper to see if it helps change our opinion - the koala mattress is the worst mattress I’ve ever slept on.
There is literally no give at all in the mattress. Just two weeks in and it feels like there is a ‘hill’ between my husband and I. Not just that, I can already feel some kind of dent in the mattress - it feels like it dips at your butt and then your upper body is curved upwards. Yet you don’t feel like the mattress gives at all.
We ar...Read more
e side sleepers but to get any sleep, I’ve had to start sleeping on my back. We are average sized people and like a really firm mattress but this koala mattress is something else. My husbands back (he normally has issues on bad mattresses) is in agony and I, who NEVER get back pain, have constant body aches, sore lower back, sore arms from sleeping on the mattress. We even slept a few nights at my in laws house just to get some sleep and both of our back pain went away until we returned to the koala mattress! I have had some seriously bad mattresses in my time but this one is abysmal. The smell for the first week was horrible - chemical like- too. It also makes you sleep really hot. Doesn’t seem to breathe like a normal mattress.2 comments

Thank you for the honest feedback Eveana, we really do appreciate it, and once again we apologise that this has been your experience with Koala, please reach out if there is anything more we can do for you.
No problems. I can’t fault Koalas customer service or company as a whole. Just the product - mattress. But perhaps for others it may work? Who knows

Different hardness
We first bought a queen sized koala mattress and it was firm and felt great. We then bought a king koala mattress but after sleeping on it for awhile found it to be softer than the queen and is now causing backaches. We didn’t actually open the product until after the 90 days trial period as we were moving and didn’t think it would have any quality differences than the previous product purchased, but now we feel it is definitely different and are not very happy about the such a difference in firmness.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your experience- The mattress isn't designed to stay in the box for more than 6 weeks after the production date ( that is stamped on the box) this could be the reason for the foam feeling different and potentially being faulty. Let's get this sorted ASAP. Firstly, I'll need you to just fill out this super-simple form I've linked below and then we'll get this sorted out for you right away. You'll need to take a few photos for the form, so make sure you've got your camera/phone handy! https://koalamattress.typeform.com/to/yPQbEV Thanks! Eve @ KoalaSimilar opinion?

Super Affordable- Super Comfy
Comfy mattress provides good nights sleep. Can’t feel movement of other person on the bed. It’s firm but snug, must be the memory foam. Happy with this purchase, did not expect it to be this comfy because it was so cheap compared to other king size mattresses on the market.

Uncomfortable after 1 year
Ok for first few months but has caused significant hip pain from long term use and I can now only sleep in the moulded spot which is a bad design. Will not be using a memory foam mattress again.

Fantastic!
So we were very nervous about buying a bed & mattress online without even lying on it, but Koala’s great return policy got us over the line. Not that we needed it! Love our Koala! Fantastic supportive mattress - firm without being too hard, soft on the joints & bones. Its seen me through a bad back and pregnancy with total comfort. I also love that there’s little movement detected from your partner - if they roll over, you don’t feel a thing - weight is distributed perfectly. Had for over 12 months, still as new as the day we bought it. Highly recommend!

Great till it isn’t.
The first day the mattress arrived, my partner and I couldn’t stop raving about how much support the mattress provides and how the back pains have eased. About 6 months in, the mattress started feeling it was getting squished in areas. We called Koala and asked them if it was necessary to flip or rotate the mattress. Their answer was no. We told them of the issue we were having and they really didn’t offer any suggestion or any help. It’s been over two years now, there is a significant decrease in support. The edges where it is mostly used to ...Read more
sit to lie down or sit up have gone soft. I think the product is good but it doesn’t have any longevity. Which then creates a problem of getting rid of a mattress and spending more. It was a mistake to buy this because Koala was fairly new then and even if the reviews then were excellent, no one has tried it for long enough. This is going to be a big piece of landfill. We wake up everyday and say how much we hate the Koala mattress. And have been doing so for two years which isn’t really good for our backs. Just can’t be bothered spending more money. Probably should bite the bullet and buy a proper and real mattress since the one we bought in 2006 lasted us we bought before lasted over 10 years. In the 3.5 years, we have wasted money on woolen cotton made to order futons and these mattress disruptors that has only disrupted sleep and comfort.1 comment

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.

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

Koala S.Koala
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?
