I had the mattress for just over a month now and so far I'm very happy. I had tried both the koala and the sleeping duck, but didn't find them comfortable. Quokka was such a positive change. I had a fantastic sleep from day one.The medium firm I chose, is a little firm at the moment, but I know that it takes a while to get used to it, if not I'll… Read more · 3
swap to a medium, which I can for free in the 100 day trail period. Very happy with the company, apart from communication, which is very important and I hope will improve in the future. Communication was far better with both koala and sleeping duck.
I got two medium layers and a firm layer. I love the flexibility the layers provide. They’re a bit annoying to stack and handle, but is easy enough with two people and only needs to be done once. No complaints from here. The mattress is very comfortable. It smelled a bit latexy for about a week, but that went away quite quickly. It fit snug in… Read more · 1
the mattress cover. Very happy with the product for the price paid. It competes with other expensive / high end mattresses.
Mattress is good quality and relatively easy to put together. It was a little firmer than expected but Quokka customer service was incredibly supportive and provided a topper which has been sensational. Getting a much better rest than I have been for some time. The all natural materials - both in the bed base and the mattress mean less stuffy noses and a cooler rest. Show details · 1
Right up front I don’t understand how this mattress setup gets such a high rating. I appreciate that this company is pushing the “small”, family owned company. If you look at their balance sheet (not that small) they are doing ok. Better than most people like you and me so I think it’s important to provide a fair and balanced review. I bought this… Read more
mattress because I wanted a durable mattress that doesn’t sag over time like the traditional box springs. The individual latex mattresses appear to be high quality. However what lets this whole system down is the cover that holds everything together. The top of the cover feels like a very stiff, thick canvas type material. The problem here is that you lose the benefit of the high quality, comfortable latex mattresses. I tried the mattresses without the cover zipped up and just a sheet over the top and it is phenomenal. On a positive note, Quokka reached out to me to see how everything was and appeared to be genuinely interested in my feedback. They claim that the cover is designed to increase the durability so you can get up to 20 years out of the mattress. My personal opinion is that they went too far on the durability side and sacrificed comfort. If you go into any mattress store and try a mattress for around the $2k mark you get a nice comfortable mattress. Compare that to this system that in comparison feels like a cheap blow up camping mattress. There is no comparison. Out of the box without a topper I was disappointed which is why I don’t understand how they are getting such a high rating. Having said that, I bought a 5cm latex mattress topper from Amazon for $165 that I am extremely happy with. I have now got the comfort that I was looking for and have the benefit of the durability and firm base that the latex mattresses provide. They do sell a 5cm latex mattress topper for $450. A mattress topper is a must with this setup. I didn’t buy theirs so I can’t comment on that. Bottom line: I am happy with my purchase now that I have a 3rd party latex topper. I wouldn’t pay full price for this system. Wait until it is on sale. If you buy the mattresses full price $2600 you need to add the topper $450 and then you are over $3k. What they should have done is tied their mattress topper into the cover in lieu of the stiff, thick canvas like material. I doubt that will ever happen because it would eat into their margins because they wouldn’t be able to upsell the topper for an extra $450. There is also no incentive for them to do this whilst they continue to get high ratings. That’s my 2cents for what it is worth. I don’t generally leave reviews but was compelled to in this case because I purchased based off the reviews which don’t appear to line up with reality.
Highly recommended – Fantastic customer service, had no qualms with me swapping one of my medium layers to be a firm. Beautiful mattress, fantastic back support and incredibly comfortable. We have 2 quokka mattresses in the household, one with 3 layers and one with 2, both excellent! Show details · 1
Wonderful service – We bought this mattress after a fair bit of research and decided to go local and what a great choice that was. Quokka Beds were wonderful and prompt. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience dealing with you guys. The mattress is so comfortable and supportive, thank you again Quokka Beds. Show reply
Very happy! – I am really pleased with my mattress. I like firm beds and the medium-firm is just right for me. I wake up with no aches or pains. The mattress was a little tricky for me to setup but that’s mostly because I wanted the layers to align perfectly. They still align well but do require a little bit of squeezing into the cover. But I do enjoy the… Read more · 1
quality of mattress and haven’t noticed any change in its shape. Would highly recommend this mattress and brand to anyone.
Quokka, a Responsive Organisation – We ordered the queen firm and two mediums. It turned out too firm for us so we checked with Quokka and they suggested using their new soft topper. We subsequently ordered the topper with no obligation but as it turned out it solved the firmness issue and we are very happy with the result. Quokka were responsive and excellent to deal with.

Outstanding! – Outstanding company. I ordered the firm option and had to change to the medium firm and the staff at Quokka made it happen without a hitch. They sent the new layer quickly with no fuss and no charge. I love, love my latex mattress! It is far superior to my last inner spring mattress. I no longer get back and hip pain. I’m looking fwd to spending many many years to come in peaceful pain free slumber. Show details · 1
Loving this bed – This mattress is incredibly comfortable. Little awareness of partner moving around in the night. And a great combination with the slatted bed base. All quite easy to assemble (once you work out that the mattress comes in parts to be assembled too!). Show details · 1

All a beautiful,organic,natural product and company. lovely people to communicate with and very honest,real service. Very happy with my purchase and very happy to support this ethical small australian business. would recommend to all. Show reply
A fantastic experience! – Despite this mattress not suiting me, I have to say that the service I received in returning it to Quokka was exceptional. I dealt with Aleksandra and nothing was too much trouble. Obviously I had to buy a new mattress to replace this one, but even then, despite cutting the 100 day sleep guarantee very fine, Aleksandra was very understanding, and… Read more · 1
the level of communication was always swift and polite.
There is always a risk when a return guarantee is offered by any company and it's often so difficult that sometimes it's just simpler to walk away, but when there's a significant investment at stake, one always hopes for a simple resolution. That was certainly the case here. Customer service and communication was far better than I could have hoped and for that I am truly grateful.
If you buy from Quokka, know that you will be treated well.

This is the best!! – The mattress has been amazing from day 1. We absolutely love it. Comfortable, easy to assemble and we can easily swap around the layers if we want to either a firmer or softer feel....we haven't had too. We live a a really hot environment, yet this mattress stays super cool....and no bugs! Great warranty, great customer service. Show details · 1
Does its thing quietly and efficiently – The Quokka has replaced our coil spring + latex top mattress from EasyRest that we had for about 15 years. We spent months trekking around Sydney trying out different mattresses to find the EasyRest. We'd started out looking for a latex mattress, but couldn't find anything suitable at a reasonable price, so we ended up with a combo. We now live… Read more · 1
rurally and choice locally is limited, so we looked online. The Quokka appealed for these reasons: 1. Adjustable 2. 3 piece, so easy to handle/move (our old mattress was crazy heavy) 3. Organic (our old mattress gassed off headache-generating fumes for a couple of weeks) 4. Reasonable price 5. Good reviews. 6. Long warranty (a common criticism of mattress-in-a-box products is that they feel good at first, but deteriorate in a year or so)
After some dialogue with Quokka's support about whether our bed base was suitable we ordered. That was a painless process - just follow their recommendation for weight and sleeping style.
It turned up at our door on schedule from Perth, which was pleasing, as sometimes we have to drive into town to pick stuff up from the depot. It was well packed in 4 manageable boxes and easy to put together following the instructions.
It's not an immediately impressive mattress in the sense that you sink into a plush top layer and think wow that's comfortable. Rather It does its job efficiently in a quiet and unassuming fashion. No aches and pains, supportive, not obviously soft or hard just comfortable and we get a good night's sleep.
So if it stays like it is for as long as the warranty we'll be very happy.
Love it – So far I am very happy with this mattress. After purchasing several relatively expensive mainstream mattresses over the years only to have them dip and sag after a few months/years, I am so pleased with my new Quokka. I love the fact that I a not going to be dumping it at the tip in a few years, that I can flip if I want, that it is made from sustainable products, and that it is customisable. Well done Quokka!

Best mattress! – Great mattress for our bad backs. We are chemical sensitive and this has been no problems for us at all. Service was excellent, originally ordered a medium which was too soft. Quokka sent us a firm layer straight away, no fuss. I am very impressed. Would not hesitate to recommend a Quokka mattress. Show details · 1
An interesting option to consider – I looked at a lot of options when buying my new mattress, there is a lot of information you can find online about different kinds of springs, foams etc, and I saw a video that kind of ridiculed the whole mattress industry in general, and I figured that a lot of that was kind of marketing, different companies trying to outdo each other. Then I saw… Read more · 1
an ad on Facebook for Quokka Beds and their latex mattresses. I liked the simplicity, the fact that there are no springs, a natural product, adjustable support, it just made sense to me.
I've had mine for around a month now and I have slept much better, which to be fair is no surprise given my old bed was well due for a replacement, nonetheless I am sure that the new bed is helping in that regard.
I'd recommend having two people set up the bed, which although not difficult is also not completely straight forward either.
We love this bed base and beautiful headboard – We changed our mind from double to queen with such streamline service it was extraordinary and minimal increase in cost we love this bed and classic oak headboard highly recommended xxx Show details · 1
Great mattress! – Different to any other "mattress in a box" that we've had previously, but love the commitment to natural products and zero chemical smell! Order arrived promptly and stuffing it was an interesting experience that wasn't quite as smooth as we hoped, but we got there! SO much better for our bad backs than the saggy mattress we had before. We have it… Read more · 1
on an American style box spring, so prob a bit firmer than it would be on slats, but waiting to upgrade to a newer bed soon. Overall, very pleased and would def recommend.
Very satisfied – Product arrived efficiently. I had communicated with the company prior to purchase and modified my bed base to comply with slat requirement. Good prompt communication via email and phone facilitated this. The assembly was easy and helped by watching the video. We are very satisfied with the comfort of the mattress. I had been troubled by… Read more · 1
pain over the hip area due to my slight build and this has been resolved with the new mattress. I would recommend this product and the good service and communication provided by the company.
Fixed my sore hip – I had a Peacelilly overlay to sooth my ageing Design Mobel mattress. Still uncomfortable, around 2am, I woke up grabbed my phone, all without reading glasses, and ordered a Quokka Queen size medium/firm latex mattress on Afterpay. It arrived in two pieces which was brilliant as one would have been too heavy for me to move. Jiggled it around and… Read more · 1
now so comfortable my hip pain has completely gone - and I was considering joining a university study on hip pain. Oh this is so comfortable!

One of the comfiest beds we've slept on – Extremely comfortable and supportive mattress. We both have back problems. We thought pocket springs were the go but that mattress sagged so quickly. This feels slightly softer than I thought it would be but is also super supportive. It feels like it's gently holding you. We have definitely slept better than on saggy pocket spring :) Quokka is still new so can't report on durability yet. Customer service is above and beyond! Show details · 1
Best nights sleep ever – I’m a hot sleeper, but do not get hot on this mattress. Best mattress I’ve ever had and I’m turning 50. Being totally natural material makes me sleep better Very happy customer! Show details · 1
a product to sleep on – Ordered on line following advice from Quokka. Safely packaged for delivery from WA to Victoria. Incredibly comfortable. Support with no sag! Waking with no tensed muscles. A product that I purchased twice, without hesitation. Many different mattresses but this I will recommend to anyone who asks! Show details · 1
I'm so happy. Sleeping thru the hole night now – Its so much comfort. I never could sleep thru the hole night. Now I do. I wake up and no back pain anymore. No stiffness. Great. It feels good. I'm happy I investigate to find a good matress. Show reply
Simply Fantastic! – This mattress has the perfect amount of natural flexibility whilst still retaining firmness. I have had spinal surgery and it's a positive fit for me, my partner had scoliosis and she also is very happy.with it too. I envision this being a long lasting and very durable bed. We are mostly side sleepers, and have found this is excellent for all sleeping positions. Show details · 1
Fantastic product couldn't be happier, The service from this company is above and beyond – We would highly recommend this company and there products, Great people to deal with. We have not had to alter our mattress since we put it together, we have had a latex mattress in the past but were after something slightly softer and could not be happier. Show reply
