I am a forever customer! I sleep so much better. My back is better. I wake up feeling rested and energetic. Just a 10/10 would recommend to a friend! Love Koala! Show details
We've had our Koala Mattress for a few years now and still love it. We tried a few different brands before Koala and they seemed to sag or lose support after a year or two. The Koala mattress does feel quite firm at first but once you are used to it, you'll never go back to another mattress. No more sore hips, having to toss and turn to get comfy.… Read more
No more waking up achey. Plus even though ours is few years old, there's no saggy spots at all! If you're considering getting a Koala mattress I highly recommend you go for it. I hope you'll love yours as much as we love ours!
Koala Mattress sinking after only 4 years. 10 year warranty basically is a joke. I was given the run around for weeks even after sending multiple photos to show the issue, Koala just refused to replace or refund. There is basically no warranty.

The mattress is amazing! It is so comfortable and being able to take the top section off for cleaning is great. Show details
THE mattress you need if your partner moves in his/her sleep and you want to wake up rested in the morning! Show details
Really good – I've had the Koala mattress twice now—first when I moved to Brisbane and then again after relocating to Melbourne. I can confidently say it’s the best mattress I’ve ever had. It's affordable, incredibly comfortable, and their customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend it—10/10!
Great experience with mattress from a box – I was skeptical about box mattress, but I am really enjoying in! Really liked that I could pick my delivery date and align it with my WFH day. Unpacking and setting up was easier than I expected! It even came with a little toy to keep my dog distracted during the process. I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now, tried out both firmness levels and… Read more
have found my perfect sleep mode. Less achy mornings. Happy! An added plus that I didn’t expect, I’m no longer woken when my dog gets on and off during the night anymore, or when my partner gets into bed later than I do!
Good value and outstanding customer service – After exhaustive research we purchased the Koala with ‘ flippable firmness’ in a queen size. It was incredibly easy to put together which was great and arrived super fast. We have it on the medium firm side so far. My partner loves it and has from the start ( he needs a firm mattress )and finds it really suits him as a tummy sleeper; his… Read more · 2
nighttime sore arms stopped immediately . I need a plush to medium as a side sleeper and have taken longer to adjust. It’s definitely a big improvement from our 15 year old King Koil yet it’s tricky to get as comfortable as I’d hoped. I have been trying to sleep on my back and this helps but I’m yet to adjust to a comfortable side sleeping position. My partner would give the mattress a five so far ( only 8 days) and me a three so, I will go with a rating of four, in the hope that I will soon be able to adjust. While there is still some partner disturbance, it’s greatly reduced which is a plus and it’s really comfortable as a bed to read in before sleep. Given what we paid I think this mattress is value for money… time will tell whether it ends up in the guest room or we stick with it. I remain optimistic Update: Koala got in touch after I posted this review and sent me a fabulous mattress topper which totally solved my issue- great customer service!

We’ve had an incredibly poor experience with Koala’s delivery and customer service. Our mattress was scheduled for delivery between Thursday and Friday — with an overly broad delivery window of 8am to 6pm on either day. By late Friday, the tracking hadn’t updated and the item still hadn’t been picked up. We had to contact Koala ourselves — only… Read more
then were we told it wouldn’t arrive on Friday and would be delivered on Saturday instead. No communication, no apology.
On Saturday, we monitored the courier tracking all day. When it finally showed as “on the delivery vehicle,” we watched the driver pass right by our address without attempting delivery — then spend hours driving around Canberra before returning to the depot.
By Saturday evening, we still have no mattress, no delivery, and no update from Koala — and our emails remain unanswered. We had organised our schedule based on the timeframe they provided, which has now caused us considerable inconvenience.
For a premium-priced product, the service has been nothing short of appalling — zero communication, poor logistics, and no accountability. We would not recommend ordering from Koala based on this experience.
G'day Vee, We are absolutely gutted to hear about your… Read more
What more needs to be said? – I used to have a SD mattress, but needed two in a hurry with a job change and moving. I got the Queen middle of the road range, not super luxury, but it is better than the last mattress and a fraction of the price. Very happy with it, counting zzz’s over the moon! Special mention for the second mattress I bought though - the basic, best value… Read more
model in a double. I’ve had three couples come to stay since moving and they have all raved about the spare bed. Never has anyone praised any spare bed I’ve had in the past - even the basic model is THAT good!
For the price of my old mattress I got two and both are outstanding.
And delivery was ridiculously quick. And they kept sending me updates about where my new mattresses were along the road - like they were delivering a kidney to be transplanted rather than a mattress or two for a midnight flit. They arrived the next day and I ordered at 9pm the previous night.
Amazing service. Amazing mattresses.
The best mattress I've ever had. Easily – I honestly love getting into bed on my Koala Mattress - every night I have that big "aaaahhhh" moment when I initially get in. It's my favourite time of day! I got my mattress when it first came out in 2021 after a few years on an Ikea mattress and waking up from hip and back soreness constantly. So far we've had the mattress for over 2 years,… Read more
and it has kept its sleep profile perfectly. No changes in firmness, shape, no dips or sags - still feels fresh as ever.
That hip and back soreness I lived life with has now completely gone! There's been no change in lifestyle apart from the mattress we use - and the Koala Mattress has absolutely done the trick.
Oh - another benefit, it really does have great anti-sleep disturbance qualities to it (as in, when your partner moves around, you can't feel it). As I wake up earlier than my partner to get ready for work, this is important so I don't wake her up - and it works great!
Highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable (but great quality) sleep. All mattresses aren't built the same - and the Koala Mattress has eased muscle pain, provided amazing quality sleep, and has still fit our budget.

This is a great quality mattress. I love that you can’t feel your partner moving! Found it a bit firmer than I was expecting, but now have added the soft Koala topper & it’s perfect. Show details
I was definitely sceptical buying a mattress online,and hoped it would live up to the hype. It more than lived up to it,it has surpassed my expectations,super comfortable,easy to unpack and put together. Price was great,order and delivery was too easy! Highly recommend! Show details
Negative reviews
Not a great mattress to be honest. Within only a few months I noticed indents where I sleep and that's someone who weigh's 60kg and moves around a lot - side, back, side, front, edge, middle. When you purchase your mattress they offer a reward for your review etc, so likely why there are so many positive reviews. Writing to them about the indents… Read more
you'll get a clearly predrafted letter stating that if the dents are less than 2.5cm then that's just normal for mattresses and to be expected.

First 2 years Koala mattress was so comfy! After that for the following 2 years it deteriated quickly and is very uncomfortable. I thought this might be a manufacturing default but the team said it is normal. Show details

Disappointing – Well before I even get the mattress the frustration and stress to get it delivered Not flexible not helpful They don’t care even when you pay extra for delivery options still can’t be helpful to work with the customer So so disappointing Spent $2500 the service is appalling

Ordering on line was simple and hassle free, delivery occurred in good time and was efficient. Setup couldn’t have been easier, and the first few nights sleeping on it have been exactly as we expected firm, relaxing and needed. Definitely would buy again. Show details
Love my Koala Queen Mattress! Delivery was super quick, and the mattress is incredibly comfy. The flippable firmness is a great feature—nice to have the option to adjust it. I've been sleeping so well since it arrived. Highly recommend! Show details
I didn’t expect to love this mattress as much as I do. It’s firmer than I had expected and yet it is just what I needed it seems. Having suffered from lower back problems for about 10 years I could not lie on my tummy anymore, my favourite sleeping position, or so I had thought. I would wake up with a sore back or headaches. I put off buying a new mattress (and bed) for so long and now I wish I had bought this mattress (and bed) sooner. Show details
We bought our first Koala mattress (partner preference) honestly, best decision! We are in love with it! Our sleep is way better now. Thank you so much Koala! And the little koala toy coming with our purchase is so cute! Show details

I highly recommend Koala...this is my 2nd mattress and I won't buy any other brand again. It is so comfy and the cover is beautiful and plush. Also the customer service is 10/10 they have been fantastic to deal with every single time. Show details
mattress is great, was a little too firm and when I contacted staff they sent a topper straight out to me which has made the mattress great! Bed and base easily assembled and I am very happy Show details
Great mattress for the price. At first was not happy with the firmness. I mentioned this to koala and they provided a complimentary bed topper which has been great so far. Show details
I’ve been sleeping on the Koala Mattress for a few months now, and it’s lived up to the hype. The medium-firm feel strikes a great balance between support and comfort—especially helpful if you switch between sleeping positions like I do. It stays cool overnight and doesn’t sag or trap heat. Delivery was fast and setup was easy, with no chemical… Read more
smell. Only minor downside: it might be a bit too firm for side sleepers who prefer a plush feel. Overall, an excellent Australian-made mattress that offers great value and restful sleep.
I’ve converted my whole family and since convinced my sister and parents to each get a koala upgrade.
I have never enjoyed a foam style mattress in the past. I like a springy traditional style. But my koala is SO comfortable, it has changed my mind. It's firm and supportive while feeling soft to lay on. No sinking or feeling stuck at all. I'm also addicted to their eucalyptus lyocel sheets. I won't sleep on anything else. They're cooling. Don't grab cat hair. And feel silky smooth. Show details
Fast delivery and mattress is helping with injury recovery. Getting the used to the comfort and feel. Much firmer than my previous mattress but already feeling the benefits. Show details
My koala queen mattress has been brilliant. From the adjustable firmness, the strong sturdy structure & price, it is better & much more affordable than anything comparable in the market right now
The mattress was delivered, regionally, Exceptionally fast. I have been sleeping on it for over a month and it is very comfortable. It is the perfect comfort level for us, no sagging. Show details
