Started off good (buying experience, delivery, assembly) but then found a piece was missing. Spoke to customer service, who wanted more unnecessary information, and finally got them to agree to send the missing piece. That was 2 emails and one month ago. Still waiting. Oh, and the nice brown colour on the website is actually Baby Diarrhoea Yellow.
Review updated on 12/11/2025 After initial issues with incorrect parts being delivered and difficulties reaching the customer service team for several weeks, one of the co-founders has since reached out and been open to feedback. While my initial experience with Yona was frustrating, I feel my feedback has been taken on board and I am happy with… Read more
the product after receiving redelivery of the correct bed frame. I appreciate Gilad has taken the time to reach out and try to rectify my experience.
I'm at the point that it doesn't matter what the product is like, because dealing with the company is incredibly frustrating to the point that I have cancelled the remainder of my order. I had ordered the 2.0 bed and bed head in early August. Received a shipping notice for part of the order a few days later, but everything went downhill from… Read more
there. A week goes by and the bed hasn't moved, it's still a "label created" with no tracking. Sent an email to query it and had no response for days, then finally a response about having too many orders and not wanting to overload their courier, so they were not sending out orders, and no mention of when it might be sent or the other part of my order... 5 emails later and my bed is actually moving and I get told the bed head is out of stock, but should be in by early September. Mid September I query the bed head and get told they're coming in on the 22nd of September and will be sent immediately. On the 26th I've not had a shipping notice and tell them to cancel it and refund it. At no point were they proactive and reach out on their own to tell me there were no stock or delays. Always me trying to find out what was happening. Such poor customer service that it doesn't matter what the product is like if you treat your customers like they are nothing. Transparency will win every time.

After 2 years on the floor – I absolutely love everything about my black queen Yona base. Update: I’m about to purchase another for our multipurpose room. Being able to use it and put it back in the box will be very handy for this space.
My experience as a 68 year old female – Easy, lightweight,quick , everything as promised. Can’t wait to move, it’s going to be soooo easy.
From WTH to Oh wow I love it! – I read many reviews & watched all the videos about this bed thinking how does that work. I was skeptical but it is amazing!!! It has not moved an inch, super study, and i have two daughters who jump on it all the time. I think it looks great too and something different. The green suits my colour decor
Love my Bed – Needed a temp cheap bed bought this and it’s legit so good looks cute may not bother replacing it now. Don’t hesitate it’s really good!
Good, comfy, silent, environmentally friendly, and easy on the pockets!! – At less than $200 for the Yona, I had the bar set low and was ready to be dissapointed. But, I kept my mind open and took a chance. I'm glad I did, because my expectations are exceeded and I have no regrets (so far). It was a bit fiddly to set up, but the provided QR code video instructions helped heaps (if you follow them properly), and if you… Read more
have a couple people to help then you'll have no issues.
- Comfort is not compromised at all.
- Fast shipping.
- It's super easy to move around the room, and will be dead easy to pack up and transport if needed. I do suggest putting a nonslip mat under it to stop it moving around with normal use though.
- Unlike my old timber frame, it stays silent when you're tossing and turning in the night, or when participating in other bedroom activities.
- I gained space in my already small room too, since the mattress edges hang over the edge of the frame, unlike my old frame which extended outwards in all directions.
Only time will tell now if there are any flaws with the Yona!
10/10 for me.

Best purchase I've made in ages. Was looking for something sustainable but still strong, and this is perfect. It's lightweight, easy to move, and supports weight like a proper solid frame. So happy with it!
I try to live as sustainably as possible, and finding a bed base that's 100% recyclable AND made from recycled materials was a win. No compromise on quality either. love it!!!!
As a student, I needed something affordable, sturdy, and easy to shift when moving between rentals. Yona nailed it! Took me minutes to set up and I love that I can pack it flat when needed. No fuss, no tools, just a solid bed base that does the job! I love it!

I placed my order on 13 July 2025. It has been almost 3 weeks and there is no sign of my purchase. I had to reach out on 17 July to find out the status of the order as they advertise on their website that products are normally received in 2-3 days. I received a relatively quick response saying they ran out of stock and should be fully available on… Read more
23 July. On the 24th of July I received a notification from Yona that they’ve prepared the order for pick up from the Courier. The Courier company “Couriers Please” alert me they’ve received the shipping information. It’s the worst system as you can’t contact their Customer Service team. I get notification on 28 July that they picked up the product but that the product is overdue for delivery and then shows it should have been delivered on Friday 25 July. It’s now 30 July and there is no update on the Courier’s website. I sent another query to Yona on Monday 28 July enquiring about the delay with no response. Worst service - I would have been better off ordering a traditional bed base from another provider. If you order this product - be ready to wait a month!

My bed did not match the videos on the QR code. Didn't have the same tabs (the two tabs on outside that hook together were there but not the tabs you apparently push inwards and lock together). It appeared I need to put the two bed pieces top/bottom not side by side. I couldn't find a SINGLE video online that showed the entire process. Also… Read more
struggled significantly with floorboards, nothing for it to grip to stay open. Sending it back, lost 2 hours of my life trying to figure it out. Also they told me it would be a 2 week delay to deliver which I was fine with but it took a month with no updates unless I emailed and asked. Absolutely shonky company.
Hi Carla, thanks for the honest feedback. I’m genuinely… Read more
Don’t waste your time or money – Yona seem to delete all their bad reviews on their website so posting it here so people can actually make an informed choice. I was pretty sceptical about ordering a cardboard bed but the claims from Yona and reviews were so good I was swayed. I really wanted to love this but if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. 1. The courier damaged… Read more
the box and because the bed is made of cardboard it went straight through to the bed. 2. The bed was not that easy to put together as described, you definitely need 2 people so if you live on your own you're in trouble. 3. The bed does not work at all on wooden/laminate flooring. The bed slid around and changed shape and was super unstable with the mattress on top. 4. It looked nothing like the pictures, the natural colour in the pictures looks like a lovely golden brown colour and looked thick - this cardboard was a dull grey brown and the way it folded together reminded me of the inside of a wine carton - Flimsy, very unstable and really not very attractive. Notice how all the pictures on the website are of the front of the bed and there's not really any of the sides? That's because the side of the bed literally looks like a pile of cardboard you'd find in the skip. I'd say if you're in a pinch and you need a cheap bed then maybe it would be okay but it's actually not even that cheap for a box of cardboard. You could just spend an extra $100 and buy an actual bed. 5. The return is gonna cost you $30 per bed and you're told that the courier could come any time for the next 5 days but also are so impatient that you're told to leave it outside for them to grab or they might just leave, which is exactly what happened. Living in a 4th floor flat on a busy street in a city, it's obviously not possible to leave the box outside for 5 days. Honestly wish there had been more truthful reviews on here so that I hadn't wasted my time and money.

I move apartments a lot and this bed is a game changer. Super lightweight, easy to set up and just as easy to pack down. No more struggling with heavy wooden frames. this thing is kinda like magic lol
Overpriced unstable cardboard – Love the sustainability & look (in photos as doesn’t stay in place) 1: Not as simple to set up as need 2-3 people for even single base. 1 to hold base & 2 to lift and place mattress. 2: Over time single mattress slides on base & I'm having to reposition every month. 3: Base joins pushes easily push in when not suppose to. Definitely wouldn’t waste money on this cardboard furniture.
Buyer Beware. Scam – Don't waste your money because when you decide this isn't going to work, they won't admit it's a faulty design and punish YOU by making you pay $30.00 to return it. Cardboard is not forgiving. Once you bend it a certain way it has a crease. The flaps were stupid and wouldn't stay closed. We tried with everything we had to pull the bed out to a… Read more
full queen shape and it wanted to keep going right back into the original shape. The video to show setup is about 30 seconds long with no actual verbal instruction. At almost $200.00 a pop, this is a huge rip off. Be careful, because they take no responsibility for not holding up to their promises that this bed will do what they say it will do. Buyer beware. Run.
Not easy setup! – Is not easy to set up at all! I got the Yona queen bed base, tried to set it up by myself on a hardwood floor and it was almost impossible, is nothing like the instruction video which makes it look super easy. Base kept slipping back into its compacted shape and falling apart when trying to get it into shape. Eventually I had to just put the… Read more
mattress on top to hold the base still and then push the sides of base under the mattress to make it work. Is a sturdy bed now but I wouldn’t recommend buying this.
Hey Melanie, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry… Read more
Cardboard clouds – The CEO was clearly asleep at the wheel, leaving the fate of the company in the hands of a delusional sales and marketing team. This product is a nightmare—an overpriced, harebrained idea executed poorly. It simply doesn’t work. If the CEO can’t be bothered to test their own product, why should anyone else?
Perfect for me – Easy setup. The foldaway design and light weight was perfect for me. Getting it up a staircase through a narrow corridor and into a small room was so easy. Set up was straight forward and the bed itself is solid with no lateral give.
Light but stable! – Online chat staff was very helpful providing information to help me make decision. The bed was light weighted whilst stable. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and so far so good. In future it’ll be extremely easy to recycle it if I don’t need it any more, which is perfect for me:)

Love the bed, hated the setup – The Yona bed is good, no issues with it now that it’s finally set up, but it’s definitely harder to put together and keep together than all of the videos show but once the mattress is on it’s perfectly fine. 2 adults can sleep comfortably without fear of falling through to the floor.
Great bed! – We are highly impressed with our Queen bed base. Set up was quick and easy (just read/watch the instructions!). It doesn’t creak or squeak. Love that dust can’t get underneath. Delivery was very quick
Great value for money, the new standard for my bedding – This is the second time I've ordered a Yona. Got a double for the guest room and now have the queen as my bed. I love the simple assembly, lightweight design and durability. You really can jump on this thing and have even more fun if you'd like. I love my Yona bed!!
Terrible product stay clear – Absolute garbage, l also agree with all the other one star reviews, this is not a product to purchase to have long term. Opened box and looked as if it was second hand. I contacted them 19 days of having product. All their products should be recalled, or at least quality checked, not sure if they pass good Australian manufacturing standards. … Read more
Keep away from any areas that may have moisture.
Took over three weeks to receive email responses and follow ups, had to chase up almost every week for an update. Bed base collapsed as soon as light wait mattress went on top, terrible set up instructions don't try to set up on carpet, if you want larger than a double they send you two bed bases (doubles) to then having to put together side by side, this is not suitable as it is to large as you spread it out and it all buckles and can't be moved easily on carpet.
Waiting for a courier to pickup up and return product is not the consumers issue, then again had to wait for refunds, and had only 1/4 of the refund returned there reason, "past the 30 day full refund policy "what a joke"

Couldn’t be happier! – I purchased the Yona cardboard bed after recently moving house and couldn’t be happier! It was very easy to place the order online, and delivery was very quick and efficient. I was able to assemble the queen bed by myself using the video provided, however it would have definitely been easier with an additional person helping, but it was entirely… Read more
possible to do so on my own. After having slept on it consistently, I notice no significant difference between it and my old bed frame. I have already recommended this product to friends and family members, and would happily purchase another if I was looking for an additional bed for my home.
noice – it's good and sturdy, only issue is if it's put right on wood or slippery floors it will accordion back into itself if the mattress is moved, but other than that it's a solid bed base and I'm happy with it
Perfect for a guest room – The Yona was quickly delivered and easy to put together. (Follow the instructions)! The mattress sits well on the base and feel secure and comfortable. Able to maintain integrity with heavy weight on top.
Affordable flexible strong bed base – It’s really strong and fairly easy enough to set. I am having to move it rooms few times a week and it’s easy by doing so to unclip or slightly loosen/bend some corners so I’m concerned it might not last so long. Otherwise it’s a really great affordable option when needing to move bed often as it’s light, stylish (I got the white one) strong and very comfortable.
