Best pillow ever for me, not so much for my partner – I purchased two of these pillows and it was absolute perfection for me. The soft side and firm side options sealing the comfortability. It is a pillow that stays nice and cool while providing ample support for the neck. I've finally started sleeping well. Unfortunately for my partner, the pillow is too high and despite many attempts she could just… Read more

not find a way to sleep without waking with a headache. She was very disappointed to conceded defeat but very relieved to know that she can return the pillow for a refund. Both of us will speak highly of koala and their products to anyone.

4 Chloe  · Comfortable pillows, can’t sleep without them would love if you could buy spear pillow protectors and if they came with both the cool side
5 Maddbell  · Best memory foam pillow out there. Very happy with my purchase
4 Chloe  · Comfortable would buy again. Hopefully they come out with spare pillow cases
5 Sally  · A really comfortable pillow. Could be higher if a large framed person
4 Joel  · Very firm. Just how i like it. Good for the head orr as a bolster/prop for side sleeping.
5 Chelsea  · Excellent pillow!! Very comfortable and works well with the Koala mattress.

I was honestly hesitant to spend this much on a pillow, but the Koala Pillow has actually been worth it for me. It feels supportive without being rock hard, and I noticed a difference in my neck and shoulder tension within the first week. I like that you can adjust the feel depending on whether you want the softer or firmer side. It also doesn’t… Read more

get hot as other memory foam pillows I’ve tried, and the cooling side is pretty cool which surprised me.

If you love super soft fluffy pillows, this probably won’t be for you because it definitely has more structure and support. But for side sleeping and neck comfort, I can see why it gets good reviews.

The trial period also made it feel less risky to try.

I have put the pillows in our guest rooms and everyone who has stayed with us over the holiday break has loved them. They are so popular with our guests. Show details

The pillow itself is very comfortable and provides good support for the neck and head. The quality feels solid and it keeps its shape well. Unfortunately, it has a strong rubber smell that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how long I leave it out to air. I’ve tried using pillow covers and airing it under the sun, but the odor still lingers. If not for the smell, it would be an excellent pillow. Show details

The 2nd gen pillow is genuinely the worst pillow I have ever slept on. I like a firm pillow, but this pillow is as hard as a rock. Adjusting the firmness doesn't change it at all. It feels closer to sleeping on a microwave than a pillow. I'm honestly stunned that anyone has reviewed this pillow positively. Show details

This is my second koala pillow. This is slightly smaller than my first one. But this one has more options as is more adjustable than my first one. Its also regulated for summer and winter which i love. Over all this is a great product at a great price. Show details

 Follow-up  · The pillow is firmer than my first one so you need a month to adjust to it. Also as this pillow is smaller than first pillow all my pillow cases are to big. Which is not big issue but i bought them bigger due to first generation pillow being bigger in size. But the current one is suitable enough. Over all its still a great product. Will buy again.

I bought 2 of them and happy i did. They are firm which normally I don’t sleep on but these are great. They have a zipper to adjust firmness and are washable. Great for side sleepers too!

 Follow-up  · The pillows stay nice and firm . It’s easily washable and adjusting the the firmness is simply by unzipping or zipping up on the sides of the pillows. There is also a cool side to sleep on during the warmer months and a warm side to sleep on in the winter months .

Unveiling the Secret of Sweet Dreams with the Koala Pillow – From the moment I ordered my very first Koala Pillow, I knew I was onto something extraordinary, a path to better sleep and, consequently, a better life. Sleep, a quintessential part of our existence, is too often overlooked. But once you experience the transformative power of a good night's sleep, there is no going back. That's the magic the… Read more

Koala Pillow brings to your life.

My journey began when I decided to gift this plush treasure to my family and partner, wishing to share the blissful experience with my loved ones. The Koala Pillow, with its charming aesthetics and phenomenal comfort, was received with delighted surprise and anticipation.

A testament to its quality, the Koala Pillow has enhanced our sleep in ways I had only dreamed of. Not only does it have an incredibly soft and soothing texture, akin to a gentle nighttime lullaby, but its unique design also provides unparalleled support, aligning perfectly with your sleep posture, thereby ensuring sweet dreams and restful nights.

The impact on our daily lives has been nothing short of astounding. With improved sleep, our days have become more productive, and our mood noticeably more upbeat. Our interactions have taken a turn for the better, full of laughter and positivity, echoing the harmony of our well-rested minds.

Now, every night, as we sink into our pillows, we are softly ushered into the land of dreams, comforted by the Koala Pillow's cloud-like softness. We wake up rejuvenated, ready to embrace the day with energy and optimism. It's like opening a gift every morning, the gift of a fresh start, made possible by a night of blissful sleep.

The Koala Pillow has become more than just a pillow; it's a cherished companion in our quest for healthier and happier lives. It's our ticket to the dreamland where sleep is always sweet, and waking up is a joy.

If there's one phrase that truly encapsulates our experience, it would be: "The Koala Pillow, your passport to a world where dreams are always sweet, and mornings ever delightful." This is not just a pillow; it is a lifestyle choice, a commitment to prioritize sleep and, by extension, our well-being.

The Koala Pillow has shown us that 'sleeping like a baby' is not just a figure of speech but a reality that we all can experience. So, here's to sweet dreams, uplifting mornings, and a life filled with happiness and health, all made possible by the remarkable Koala Pillow.

In love with this pillow! – My husband and I recently purchased a Koala pillow each after a friend recommended them. From the first night I found it very comfortable and supportive on both the firm and soft sides. I usually sleep on my back for the first half of the night then turn to my side for the last half. The soft side is perfect for sleeping on my back. I find the… Read more

firm side is slightly better for side sleeping, so I usually flip the pillow when I roll onto my side, but I’ve had no problems on the soft side if I’m too tired to flip it.

I’d expected to have a few difficult nights adjusting due to the very different feel of the pillow compared to what I’ve used before, but instead I found it immediately comfortable. The squishy firmness of the pillow is quite comforting and I’ve been sleeping deeply ever since the first night. I love the way the pillow moulds slightly around my head, but bounces back to it’s original shape as soon as I change positions (so no rolling into a groove I created).

I would never have thought that I could justify spending $125 on a pillow, but we were sick of spending less money on pillows that would wear out in just a few months. So the 120 day money back guarantee meant Koala was offering a risk free trial. I can definitely say now that if these pillows continue to hold their shape as well as they appear to, we definitely feel they were worth the money and are so glad we purchased them! We love these pillows so much that we are also considering upgrading our mattress to a Koala mattress too..

Really surprised at how good this pillow is. Neck pain all gone and sleeping much deeper and better – After 2 years of using a Micro Cloud pillow, i switched as it was only lasting me 12 months before sagging. Before that, it was wool pillows, latex pillows, feather pillows. You name it, I tried it... I was very sceptical about the Koala pillow and at $150 it definitely wasn't cheap but given the returns policy, it seemed cheaper than buying a… Read more

bunch of pillows that doesn't feel comfortable and you are then stuck with.

I am only 45kg so at first sight, I thought the pillow was far too high but was surprised that the soft side offered the perfect support for my neck. It still feels a little high when you first lay on it but then it sinks to the right level.

A few nights went by and I still couldn't believe that I had no neck pain and I was sleeping a lot deeper. It's been a couple of months now and my Fitbit is telling me I am sleeping better than I ever did before and I am waking up pain free and rested. I didn't actually believe it when people raved about this in their reviews but having now experienced it myself, I am a Koala covert.

The pillows are comfortable, it took me able to get use to them, but can’t sleep with out them, I do wish you could buy extra pillow protectors and you couldn’t feel the zips as much as you do

Had neck pain, and now that’s eased. At first it had that new smell when your head hit the pillow but that’s gone 1-2 weeks in. Loving it now, head softens nicely into pillow. Show details

I have used the 2nd Gen pillow for about 2 weeks now and the major improvement is the cooler sleep on the summer surface. Compared to Gen 1 the sleep is more comfortable on hotter nights. I believe the winter surface would be equally as good as Gen 1, good improvement overall

The cooling is really good for this pillow. Seemed solid but as the night goes on it sunk down to almost nothing every night and I felt like I was sleeping on very little - regardless of how I customised the firmness with the zips

This is actually a great pillow - just not for me unfortunately. I have neck issues as it is and found the pillow a little bit too high. Although I would still encourage anyone to give it a go. I love love love the clever features, like the warm and cool sides and the zip for extra comfort. The quality is also top notch. I would have liked the same pillow in a contoured version for my neck. Show details

I love koala - I’ve owned 3 Koala beds over the years and both my kids sleep on them! I bought the pillow because my wife left her long time old favourite pillow behind while on holiday. She was devastated! So I thought I would give her the Koala pillow to try and it’s like she never owned that old faithful pillow. It’s now a distant memory.… Read more ·  1

Needless to say she loves her upgrade and she can see herself sleeping with it for many years (even on holidays too).

I love my two 2ng gen koala pillows. I have been using them for a couple of weeks now. They’ve been comfortable, I haven’t overheated. I like the level of softness and how easy they are to unzip and clean. I use one of the pillows under my head and one for side sleeping support. I’ve found them comfortable and I’ve kept well. No complaints, highly recommend. Will keep investing in them. Show details

I’ve been using the Koala 2nd Gen Pillow for a while now and overall it’s been great. The comfort and support are excellent, and the material feels high-quality and breathable, which makes sleeping much more comfortable through the night. My only minor downside is the height — it could be a bit higher or ideally adjustable for people who prefer a thicker pillow. Other than that, it’s a really solid pillow and I’m very happy with it.

Love! I am very particular with my bedding and have been very surprised at how much I am loving this pillow. I’m a s#cker for things that are adjustable, and appreciate the option to make changes to the firmess. I do think it’s quite a firm pillow, more than what I am used to, but am really enjoying it and finding it very supportive and comfy.

Good pillow, cool on one side, and the fact that you can zip it up is great, makes it higher and slightly harder. I find it a really good pillow, suits me perfectly. Show details

When the zip is closed it feels a bit too firm, but unzipping it gives me the perfect level of softness. I’ve been sleeping much more comfortably this way. I just wish there were one more level of adjustment — right now there are only two firmness options. Show details
