Koala Mattress King Single

As a side sleeper, I noticed significantly less shoulder and hip pressure compared to my previous mattress. Motion isolation is also excellent—my partner can get in and out of bed without waking me up.

I got this mattress in October 2025 as my old one was just not supporting like it used to. I have been using this bed for 8 weeks now. For context, I am 39 yr old female & not overweight. I have a back strain issue that is soft tissue injury… Read more

and getting better with time- especially off this bed!.

PROS: - Easy to buy. - I like that the covers are easily removeable and machine washable. - The bed is supportive but like lying on the floor.

CONS - The freight took a verrry long time to get to us.

- Sleep is disturbed because of pressure points on hips, I also can't find a decent sized pillow for said mattress either because my shoulders don't sink into it.

- The bed has been open and used for months now and it still smells very strongly of chemicals. They say it will deminish but it has not away at all! It was almost intolerable for the first week but I was desperate so I would sleep with the doona tucked in around my neck because my body heat would make the mattress release more fumes and if I smelled that hotter air it took my breath away and made me choke/cough. We also aired the mattress out for 2 days in 35c heat to try and get rid of the stench but it's still there.

- If the bed is too hard for you (which it very likely will be) you can't get any help from them other than a refund. They offer no support for things like softener layers or toppers.

- This bed is a ROCK! It's set to the medium setting and is supposed to be a medium bed but this is the most firm bed I've ever slept on that wasn't classed as a firm or super firm. You do not sink into it at all. I added a topper of latex (7cm) on it and it was better but still too firm for me.

- You CAN NOT take this mattress back to any old vinnies or lifeline store. We are expected to travel 4hrs one way to find their designated opshop to take it back to. This is NOT on their buying pages! Had it been made VERY clear and obvious which stores we need to take it to I would never have bought this bed. So now after the extra $250 on the topper we are expected to pay another $120 in fuel and 8 hrs of our time to get it to the place to get our refund. Disgusting!

- Synthetic top layer makes it trap heat but it's not too bad. I do sleep under the ac though. But to lay on it bare mattress its warm instantly..

Overall I really don't see what all the hype is about. I would NOT recommend this bed or any of their products to others.

Purchased to fit new king single electric bed required due to refux….so glad I did.. I enjoy the mattress on this bed as it is not so rigid yet gives me the comfort I need! I am now managing my reflux well! Very happy customer here! Show details

Had this koala mattress for 8 years very good mattress . But the new ad on tv for it went right past me . Thought it was about gay men not a mattress. Men making strange noises what’s it got to do with animals strange. L Show details

Great Mattress – So easy to order and to set up delivery. The mattress is very comfortable, it’s a little firm, but I like that.

One mattress fits all! (Firm and soft mattress lovers) Genuine review, 2 years of use – I purchased a queen size and king single size koala mattress (cheapest one on the line). In terms of the mattress itself, I used to sleep on a rock solid mattress. So every other mattress I've tried on the market was too soft. Koala surprisingly hit a good balance between firm and soft. It's not springy and body doesn't sink like quicksand,… Read more

I'm not sure how they managed to achieve that medium but this was comfortable for both me and my partner. My partner likes soft cushy mattresses and I love hard mattresses.

Set up is super easy, and free 120 say returns, hassle free process. Amazinggggg customer service. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from koala again!

Update 2 years later: the mattress is still lovely and really comfortable, no regrets on this purchase!

Good night’s sleep – We bought this mattress to put in our spare room, as our adult son (6’2“) recently moved home again for a few months. The mattress arrived within a couple of days, and was easy to unbox, unroll and set up. He’s found it comfortable to sleep on, and a nice balance between firm and soft. After being out of the box for a week or so, it still has a strong “factory” smell, and the bedroom needs to be well ventilated. Show details

Perfect mattress for baby’s first bed, now we want one too – I couldn’t believe how quickly the mattress arrived after purchase. It was easy to set up. We purchased for moving baby from the cot to a big bed and wanted something that would grow with him but is also firm and safe for him to use now. Upon testing it out, we have decided it’s now more comfortable than our bed! Both my partner and I have back… Read more

pain and find this mattress much more comfortable and supportive. Make cuddling our little one to sleep a comfortable experience for us now too!

If only everything operated on Koalatime! – Great buying experience overall with the mattress arriving the same day I ordered it. Mattress is super comfy and seems to be good quality. Would definitely use Koala again Show details

Back pain gone! – I was under the impression that I would sag but the mattress turned out to be quite bouncy and removed all of my lower back pain. It doesn’t feel hot considering it’s a foam mattress. Would’ve preferred some edge support but overall great product! Show details

Sleeping perfection! – Second mattress from Koala and we love it even more! Selecting, ordering and communication is all easy with Koala. Delivery dates and times are accurate and the set up is easy. The comfort of these mattresses do not even compare. The second mattress bought was for our daughter and she is beyond happy with this, and so are we with everyone getting better night’s sleep. Will continue to recommend koala mattresses to everyone time and time again. Show details

Super Comfy mattress – Mattress is super comfy, and experienced the best sleep since using it :)

Excellent bed! – Amazing bed. Very comfortable both for back and slide sleeping. The flippable firmness is also really helpful.
