The Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed can be purchased exclusively through the Koala website, where all transactions are processed securely online.

This product comes in a choice of 3 colours – Potoroo, The Creek, and Kookaburra. The sample that we tested was the Potoroo colour option (pictured above).

Koala offers free metro delivery on all orders that include a mattress, and free delivery also applies to smaller items such as this sofa bed. Regional deliveries attract a small per-item charge, clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery is impressively fast – customers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide can often receive same-day delivery on in-stock items. Koala’s Fast & Flexible Delivery system lets you choose a delivery window that best suits your schedule.

For metro customers in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, Premium Delivery is also available on select items for an additional fee. This service includes full assembly and removal of packaging, ideal for those wanting a hands-off setup.

The Playtime Sofa Bed arrives in several manageable boxes, each clearly labelled for easy assembly:

Box 1 – Armrests: W104 × D25 × H56 cm | 14.7 kg
Box 2 – Seat & Arm Cushions: W162 × D40 × H40 cm | 25.5 kg

Removing the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed from its packaging should take around 15 minutes. As per the assembly video below, (essentially the same as the Koala Sofa Bed 4th Gen) we found that it helps to position all of the components strategically before you begin the assembling process.

Assembly does require some time and patience, but thankfully all parts and fittings are included. We would recommend two people be on hand to put this product together.

There will be a substantial amount of packaging (cardboard and plastic) to dispose of. So, some planning may be required along with plenty of bin space.

The Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed comes with a handy instruction booklet which we found useful.

Aesthetics and Presentation

What does the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed look like?

The Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed has a fun, modern look that fits easily into a child’s bedroom, playroom, or family living space. It has a soft, rounded shape with plush cushions, giving it a friendly and approachable feel that kids naturally gravitate toward.

The quilted Bluey-themed cover adds character without being overly busy – the line-art style keeps it playful but still tidy. When folded out, it creates a large, inviting play surface that looks comfortable and sturdy.

The sofa bed comes in three Luxe fabric colours, all inspired by Australian tones:

Potoroo – a warm beige-sand shade
The Creek – a soft cool green
Kookaburra – a rich terracotta-rust

Each colour feels calm and earthy, helping the sofa blend into both kids’ spaces and adult areas without looking out of place.

Overall, the Playtime Sofa Bed has a thoughtful balance of fun and style – cute enough for little ones, but still refined enough for the rest of the home.

Product construction

What materials are in this sofa bed?

1. Frame

The main structure of the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed is built from FSC®-certified poplar plywood, providing a stable and sustainable foundation.

2. Seat Cushion

The seat cushion uses a CertiPUR-US® certified polyurethane foam support layer, topped with a polyurethane comfort layer. This is wrapped in a polyester wadding layer for added softness and shape retention.

3. Backrest / Seat Insert Fill

The backrest cushions and seat inserts are filled with a blend of 70% polyester fibre and 30% polyurethane foam chips, giving them a plush, supportive feel that holds up well to everyday use.

4. Fabrics

The Luxe fabric range (Potoroo, The Creek, Kookaburra) is made from 100% polyester with a 100% polyester backing, offering durability and a soft, textured finish.

The internal lining (frame lining material) is also 100% polyester.

5. Tent canopy

The Bluey-themed tent canopy features a 100% cotton outer with 100% polyester wadding (excluding trims). It’s lightweight, breathable, and designed to drape easily when creating a cubby.

6. Legs

The legs are made from polyamide, a strong, lightweight plastic chosen for stability and safety around children.

Comfort and support

What does the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed feel like?

In sofa mode, the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed feels supportive and surprisingly comfortable for a family-focused piece.

The outer fabric covers are thick, durable, and breathable, giving the sofa a soft but sturdy feel. It’s noticeably more comfortable than many standard sofas we’ve tested in the big retail stores.

Sofa mode

The seat cushions provide a balanced feel – not too soft, not too firm – making it suitable for everyday lounging, playtime, or reading with the kids. The arm and back cushions add good support without feeling bulky.

Bed mode

Switching to bed mode takes only a few seconds. Once unfolded, the sleep surface feels firm and stable, offering enough comfort for short-term or occasional sleep. It’s ideal for kids, sleepovers, movie nights, and daytime rests. Adults should also find it serviceable for short-term use.

Partner disturbance

Partner disturbance is minimal thanks to the foam-based construction. Movement doesn’t transfer too much across the surface, which is handy for siblings sharing the space or if kids climb in during the night.

Overall feel

Overall, the Playtime Sofa Bed offers the same dependable comfort profile we’ve seen across Koala’s sofa-bed range – supportive, practical, and well-suited to families who want a multifunctional piece without compromising comfort.

The finer details

What else should I know?

The Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed includes a range of thoughtful, family-focused features.

A key highlight is the Cubby Tent Kit, which comes with an exclusive Bluey frame and matching throws so kids can build a fun, cosy cubby space in moments. It’s a playful addition that adds genuine versatility to the product.

This model is based on the award-winning Koala Sofa Bed platform, so it uses the same simple forward-fold design that transitions from sitting to sleeping in seconds. There are no clunky mechanisms to deal with, and the motion feels smooth and intuitive.

Practicality is a major theme here. The outer textiles are water-resistant, durable, and PFAS-tested, making them well suited to busy family environments. The covers are fully removable, washable, and replaceable, giving you an easy way to manage spills or update the look over time.

From a safety and materials standpoint, the foams used in the Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed are certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®. The frame also uses responsibly sourced materials, including FSC®-certified poplar and solid American ash. These touches reinforce Koala’s focus on sustainability and family-safe design.

Trial period and warranty

The Koala x Bluey Playtime Sofa Bed comes with a 120 night trial period. This allows you to test it out at home, and if you’re not satisfied, you can return it for a refund (conditions do apply).

It also includes a 5 year warranty that covers any faulty materials or workmanship. This warranty length is fairly typical for products in this price range and provides a good level of reassurance for families.
