Very comfy
The mattress is firm and very supportive. I am enjoying the sleeping experience. Although light it's surprisingly very supportive. The memory pillows are also great. Thanks team koala. Your service and responsive replies are a great example of what service should look like.

Best sleep I’ve had in years...
I’m a big man... snoring and posture have been issues. I’ve had my Koala Mattress for only a few weeks now. Sleep and posture have both improved. This is Deluxe.

Disappointed - too firm
Over the past 18 months, this mattress, which began comfortable, has steadily increased my back pain. I now wake up multiple times a night with a sore back due to the firmness. I am disappointed as I am now in the position of needing to look for another mattress after only 18 months. Just wish it were softer!

It keeps getting better...
My new Koala mattress replaces a zoned pocket coil mattress on which I found I needed to sleep in just the right zones otherwise I woke with a sore back and neck and most days, a headache. It’s been two weeks now with my Koala mattress and pillow and I have felt great each morning, no headaches and my spine feels better aligned. The mattress is firm and supportive yet soft enough that my body feels comfortable and no pressure points. Also I sleep on the soft side of my pillow and when I first lay down I can feel my body/ muscles relax and my br...Read more
eathing is so much clearer because my body is better aligned, I am amazed at how much better I feel. I don’t notice my partner moving about at night or any sag/roll toward each other and we are both on the larger side, just a little overweight. As it’s only been two weeks it may be too soon to comment on durability and whether it’s holding it’s shape, but at this point it is and I don’t have any concerns that it won’t. I would prefer firmer sides/edge on the bed so that when you sit on it it holds it shape, but this doesn’t impact on sleep. Also the pillow with a firm and soft side is great, I’ve had so much trouble with pillows in the past, I find my head is cradled and supported and my neck (which I have arthritis in) is aligned and my nerves are no longer pinched and no more headaches... it is so awesome to wake up feeling so much better. I am so glad I chose Koala and would again if we upsize to king size in the future.Purchased in March 2021.

Buyer Beware
Had this mattress for just over 2 years now. My partner and I still feel each other move about each night. Not as advertised. Left a review on their website (which wasn’t published unsurprisingly). Warranty claims are a nightmare. Impossible to deal with (they want photos of a manufacturing default that is only noticeable when moving about on the mattress). I’m sticking with the Sealy’s

Worst mattress
Worst mattress. No back support at all, its saggy and soft. Made my back pain worse. I tried to return it, however they wanted me to fold it in half which is impossible. Tried to replace it atleast, but they made the process so hard, as they want a ton of pictures. Wouldn't recommend this mattress to anyone.

Although, it’s great to hear that we’ve since managed to unpick this pickle of a situation by determining that the mattress was too soft for your liking and in response are sending out a free mattress topper that will firm up the mattress and should ensure you get the sleep that everyone with a Koala deserves.

Love this mattress!!
The mattress had a very slight smell when i first opened the box but this disappeared very quickly. The mattress is very comfortable and perfect for a slide sleeper. It's been about 2 weeks now and I've slept well every night. The delivery process was amazing - they really worked hard to get it to me ASAP and were so lovely to communicate with. I highly recommend!!

Basically/Actually Dunlop mattress with hefty premiums
Basically/Actually Dunlop mattress with hefty premiums
We own a caravan park and 100% of our mattresses are high quality foam mattresses. Dunlop, Comfort plus, Palermo. Essentially 'Clark Rubber.'
We purchased a few Koala mattresses, from our 15 years of experience in the game, they are without a doubt Dunlop foam, Dunlop memory foam, which their Customer Service officer has now confirmed in an email received yesterday.
QUOTE: ""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""
So why did I pay $500 more?
Well it was their brutal sales and marketing which led me to trust....Read more

potentially hoodwinking the good people of Australia. You’re quite right to say that our mattresses are physically put together in the Dunlop factory. They are good people and we often have a schnitzel at the pub with them after work. If you happened to be a fly on the wall at one of those meals you’d know that we have a symbiotic relationship where we provide insight, experience, strategy and direction on how we think the best nights sleep can be achieved. They then go to work to make this happen. Think of Koala as the architect and Dunlop as the construction company. What they will even tell you themselves is that the award-winning Koala product development team bring a layer of Koala magic that we like to call ‘Kloudcell technology’, and boy does it lead to a good nights sleep.Similar opinion?

Good with some improvement to be made for those who like firmer beds
The mattress is quite comfortable and good quality. Looking forward to the topper, which might make the feel a little firmer. Otherwise, it's decent as is and the topper can also help with a softer feel if that is preferred.

A great supportive mattress an improvement on my previous mattress
Generally a supportive mattress but I have noticed a slight sagging and have had to turn the mattress around. I also feel the need for an extra topping pad for increased comfort and sustained improved sleep.

G'day Gail,
Thank you for submitting your review. Great to hear that you are finding your Koala mattress to be supportive! ... Read more
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 over the first few months of use 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. If you feel that you need an extra topping pad please get in touch with our customer service team on 1800 575 337 or [email protected] so that they can assist you.

Questions & Answers
Alison M.asked
Hi, I had my mattress delivered two nights ago. I am finding it very firm. I have woken up with a sore back both mornings. I also have noticed that the middle of the mattress is slightly higher than the sides, causing a slope. Will the mattress soften?
2 answers
Our mattress didn’t have a high spot in the middle - I wonder if you are used to a mattress that’s low on the middle, like most old ones are ?! Our adult son slept on the Koaka mattress in our spare room and it took him 3 days to get used to it.

Teneille J.asked
First night on our new koala mattress, and I haven’t slept a wink sadly, it’s nearly 5am and I’m far from rested. I feel extremely uncomfortable and am just about ready to go sleep on the air mattress in spare room. It’s like sleeping on a hard slab, my neck feels so unsupported. It stinks of chemicals. I’m trying not to feel disheartened as this held so much promise. We saved hard for this and now I’m having buyers regret. Will it get better, am I just needing to adjust to it? Is this a common problem?
1 answer
Koala S.Koala
Hey Teneille!
It does take about 14 days for your body to adjust to a new mattress, if after the 14 nights you are still feeling the same let us know and we can look into some other options for you.
Generally the first night will be the most difficult for some especially if you're coming from spring mattress.
Danielasked
Just ordered and received my Koala bed today - 3 hour turnaround time was amazing!
However.. dimensions are way off, my queen size bed is a full 5cm short on length, one side only 19cm thick, other side 21cm thick. Will it expand to quoted sizing over the next few days?

Hello Daniel, thank you for reaching out. Your foam will indeed still expand in the next couple of hours.
