Koala Calm As Questions & Answers
VerifiedHi, I have a platform base bed, as it is a storage bed, so there are no slats. Is a Koala foam mattress going to be suitable with this type of bed base? Also, I currently have a Medium spring mattress and it is too firm and is giving me lower back pain when I wake up in the morning, so an wondering whether the Calm As foam mattress will be softer and offer me more in the areas I need it? Thanks.
G'day Cally T., Great questions, thanks for asking! Our mattresses are just as comfy on any bed base! We just recommend making sure your base is well ventilated so the mattress gets enough airflow, so you get all the benefits it was designed to give!
The Calm As Mattress is the firmer mattress in our range, so if you're after a softer matty we'd recommend either the Soul Mate (which is our softest, most plush mattress) or The Koala Mattress :)
We hope this helps but if you need a hand choosing your perfect mattress, we'd love to give you a hand! Just give our Customer Care legends a buzz on 1800 575 337 or pop an email over to support@koala.com.

Does it have a memory foam top? I definite don’t want that. I already have a mattress with memory foam and now that I have hip arthritis it is causing problems. I went on holiday for 3 weeks and slept on normal mattresses, the ones in hotels, the pain when getting out of bed almost went away. Now I am home the pain has returned. I’m sure it is the sinking in that happens with memory foam that is causing the problem. So I am looking for a medium firm mattress (but not as firm as Korean beds!)
There are two option for the memory foam, so you can choose medium firm and super firm. Its's a bit sad that you won't be able to try on before purchasing but they will offer you the comfort guarantee (you can return it back if you are not happy with) I am not a seller, so please don't ask me but, I am satisfied with the bed and their customer services. just contact them. In addition, In my view, their memory foam is worth than you got. Have a good one,
G'day priceless21, Thanks so much for reaching out, great question! It depends which mattress you're looking at. All of our mattresses are made from CertiPUR-US certified foam with Kloudcell™ technology to keep you comfy as can be!
The mattresses in our range come with a flippable bamboo charcoal-infused Kloudcell™ comfort layer, as well as a layer of Kloudcell™ a little further down the layers amongst all the other good stuff to give you support in all the right places, but makes sure you're keeping cool as a cucumber while you're snoozing and avoids that sinking feeling you might have with traditional memory foam.
Just as Jae's mentioned above (thanks, legend!), you're covered by our 120-night trial so if you take the plunge and find the mattress just isn't right for you, you're welcome to return it for a full refund, so you can make the purchase risk-free!
We've popped a link below where you can compare our range, as well as a link where you can read more about what our matties are made from and find out which one could be the perfect fit for you!

Hi there….. it seems I have to buy this mattress after all the amazing reviews….!!
Could people tell me how much you paid for a Queen size on sale? It might be worth me waiting for a sale. Currently not on sale $1699
I got a King size, there was a sale on which was about $300-400ish off at that point
I would wait for a sale they should have a Easter one
Thankyou!! Yes will wait for Easter sale!

Can I use this on a slat base. Thanks
Of course you can , that’s how I have it. The mattress has non slip bottom that makes it stays perfectly on any surface .
Thanks. Just measured my slats and unfortunately the gap is wider than the recommended 7.5cm. So will have to go for a normal mattress
G'day Jibs, Great question, thanks for asking! Our mattresses are built to work with almost any base, as long as it has enough ventilation to allow air to circulate through the mattress. If you're using a slatted base, we do recommend the slats are no more than 7.5cm apart to make sure you've got all the support you need! If yours are too far apart, we do have some pretty fab bed bases available which you can see here ;) external link

Hi,
I often shift around during the night when sleeping. Is the Koala Calm good for this?
Also, I have sometimes shoulder and hand pain (probably how I sleep on my arm), sometimes tight leg muscles, and low back pain. Would this be a suitable mattress for this?
Last question: does this mattress stay durable? (I'm probably around the 80 kg mark).
Cheers, Anton
I have chronic lower back pain and have had absolutely no pain since getting this mattress. It takes a good week to break in, so you will need to take this into account. Was very, very firm, even on the medium side of the top layer, but it adjusted in about 7 days and has been perfect ever since. My husband is a restless sleeper and don't feel him moving at all. Well worth it!!
Thanks Nicole :)
Hey Anton and Nicole, Nicole - we're stoked to hear you're loving your new matty! Anton - Nicole is spot on - the mattress has our famous Zero Disturbance so even if you're a restless sleeper, no one will be able to feel you moving around!
We'd recommend speaking with a medical professional about whether it's the right mattress for you to fix up your pain, but it does offer support where you need it most :)
The mattress is durable and it comes with a 10 year warranty so that on the off chance something goes wrong, we've got you covered! Don't forget that if you find it's just not your perfectly comfy fit, you can return it within our 120-night trial period too :)
