Very comfy

published

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.

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

published

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!

Purchased in December 2021 for $1,050.00.

Buyer Beware

published

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

So comfy

published

This mattress is super comfy! Every time anyone lays on my mattress it’s hard to get up again because it’s so comfy!
Very supportive, but it would be better for back/side sleepers than stomach sleepers

Worst mattress

published

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.

Purchased in September 2021 for $900.00.

Love this mattress!!

published

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!!

Good with some improvement to be made for those who like firmer beds

published

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.

Would definitely recommend a Koala to anyone,but especially to those who have sleeping issues.

Queen

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?

Gaye

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.

Queen

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?

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.

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?
