Bad back made worse

published

I have a bad back but it made my bad back worse was hoping it would make it better, a bit to firm for me not enough lumber support, or give . I am going to try adding a mattress topper.

Best mattress ever

published

I have been having trouble sleeping but since purchasing my queen Koala mattress I have been sleeping well, it's great and waking up refreshed. I have recommended it to my friends.

So comfortable

published

Very happy with the new mattress. Waking up without a sore back is great. The feel is firm but not like a plank!
So far no distortion to the shape and no sagging.

Best mattress we have ever had.

We are both in our 70's with bad backs before purchasing a koala. No more do we suffer. We are also enjoying a better nights sleep. Wish we had brought it years before

I have had this mattress (and the pillow) for about 30 days now, it is fantastic! I haven't had a mattress like this one before, and for the price also! Thank you! Works well!!

Better than a lot of mattresses, but after 1 year, decided to move on.

LONG TERM REVIEW
After 1 year of owning the koala mattress it's held up well except for one aspect; it has sagged a full 5 cm in the middle. Customer service has been brilliant and swapped out the mattress for a new one the very next day! However, I'm afraid the issue will present itself again in a year. This is why I am now looking for a different mattress (perhaps Sleeping Duck?) and put the koala in the guest bedroom. In addition, i woke up with shoulder pains most nights. The mattress is defintely on the firmer side.

Best Mattress!!

published

This mattress is extremely comfortable and supportive. Even from the first night I was sleeping well! The Koala mattress has relieved a lot of neck pain and allowed me to get a deeper, longer sleep.
I have only had the Koala mattress a week but loving it so far and customer service was exceptional!

Nice mattress

published

We had a sealy mattress for a couple of years and I found it never supported me properly. We decided to give Koala a go because it is Australian made (although the koala toy is made in China which I wasn’t happy about) and because of the trial available. After a month all is well, I feel the mattress does support you well but is also comfortable.
I am returning my pillow as it feels too high for me (even on the soft side) but that is personal preference I guess (side sleeper).
So far I would recommend a Koala mattress.

Hey Kaye ! Thanks so much for the postive feedback - sorry to hear the pillow didn't work out but we understand it can't be for everyone :)

Previous to my Koala mattress, I was waking up feeling aching in my back and hips - now I wake up with no pain at all. This mattress is so comfortable.

We now have better sleep, and wake up much less than before. The bed gives excellent support. Less tossing around means the bed is easier to make because we don’t drag the bedclothes around.

Great mattress with some small issues

published

The mattress is amazing, at first my back hurt but after 2 or so weeks I got used to the mattress now it’s super comfy, I had an issue with lint balls on the cover but Koala happily replaced the mattress cover and I haven’t had any issues since, there is still a slight chemical smell that I will try air out. I’ve had it for a year and would give it 4/5 stars.

So happy with my Koala

published

From the time I ordered this mattress, Koala kept me informed on its delivery (including a call from the delivery driver when he was on his way). It arrived with a special surprise cuddly soft toy Koala in the box and was super simple to unwrap and place on the bedframe. The mattress itself is exactly as described and viewed online - thank you Koala.

The mattress is firm, yet it seems around to mould around my body.
Am sleeping better than I have in a long while and I am very comfortable in it.
Would highly recommend it.

Amazing Mattress

I've had my Koala Mattress for over 6 months now, it has been really comfortable and what is really important is that when I move around at night I don't disrupt my husband as much.

We brought this mattress as we both suffer back problems and arthritis issues. Since we have been using the mattress our quality of sleep has improved, do not wake up 100 times a night due to pain issues

The mattress that was promised

published

Koala has been appearing on my feed since forever. We moved to a new house recently, and I was determined to try the product. So glad we did - it certainly lives up to the five-star reviews! Online order was easy and delivery was fast. Comparing Koala with our other mattresses - Koala is like a supportive cloud.

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?

1 answer
Koala
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.
