Koala Joey Baby Mattress Review

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress is a premium quality cot mattress that is highly certified as safe and non-toxic. Its construction contains foam and steel springs, and is well designed for the needs of infants and toddlers.

Purchase and delivery

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress can be conveniently ordered online through the Koala website.

Koala offers an impressive same day delivery in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Standard delivery is free but please see our ‘Delivery’ section further down for more details.

The mattress arrived in a sturdy cardboard box with a total weight of 12.7kgs (and dimensions 134cm wide, 72cm deep, 13.8cm high). It was not compressed like a typical bed in a box.

The product also has a convenient storage bag to help protect it from dust. Additionally, the Koala Joey Baby Mattress includes a children’s bedtime story book – Rihanna the Goanna, as well as a ‘Care and Safety Guide’ booklet.

Aesthetically, the Koala Joey Baby Mattress has a natural and modern appearance. It has a  cream and beige colour theme, with a circular product label at the base.

Mattress construction

The outer cover of this mattress feels durable, breathable, and is made from 100% polyester.

The inner cover consists of 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibre with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane fabric) backing. This is much thinner than the outer cover, but still provides a water resistant barrier to protect the mattress from spills.

The main body of this cot mattress includes multiple layers of polyurethane foam and tempered steel pocket springs. A spring system in a cot mattress is noteworthy as it helps to enhance ventilation – relevant for infant breathing and respiration.

Comfort and support

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress is very well balanced with comfort and support. The combination of foam and springs produces a firm and responsive feel. In short, the mattress firmness is ideal for the needs of infants.

Our review team rated this firm side an 8.5 / 10 firmness (with 10 being the firmest). Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.

Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.

As we touched on above, this mattress has a nice level of ‘bounce’ and responds well to normal sleep movements. We rated the level of responsiveness on the Koala Joey Baby Mattress as optimal, so changing sleep positions shouldn’t be any trouble.

Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.

The finer details

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress has an impressive 120 night trial period. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied with the product. Koala will pick it up for free in major metro areas, but drop off needs to be arranged by the customer in other areas.

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress also comes with a handy 5 year warranty to cover any defects or faulty workmanship.

Koala Joey Baby Mattress

The overall workmanship of this mattress is of high quality. The finishings are well made and the stitching is strong. Edge support is solid, so firmness and support feel even across the entire surface of the mattress.

It’s worth mentioning here that the outer cover is removable and machine washable, making it easy to keep your baby’s sleep surface clean and hygienic.

The zip is smooth and strong, and has a thoughtful safety feature. This involves the zip pull requiring an adult to dig it out of a small fabric cover. This would be too difficult for a child and would prevent any hazards involving the cover.

In terms of infant health, this mattress is highly certified as safe and non-toxic. It has been tested by some of the world’s leading authorities such as OEKO-TEX and CertiPUR-US. It also meets the voluntary Australian standard AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 for cot mattress firmness.

Available sizes

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress is available in one size, 70cm x 132cm (and 12cm high). The width and depth are slightly larger than the standard Australian cot mattress size, so please ensure that this is compatible with your cot.

Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.

Final verdict

The Koala Joey Baby Mattress is a first class cot mattress. It is high quality, has a safe and practical design, and is highly certified as non-toxic. 

Bedbuyer’s rating:  4.8 / 5

Safety Instructions

Babies are recommended to sleep in their own safe sleep space with a caregiver or parent from birth to six months.

Warning

  • Do not use more than one mattress in the cot (crib and suspended bed).
  • Be aware of the risk of open fire and other sources of strong heat, such as electric bar fires, gas fires, etc. in the near vicinity of the cot (crib and suspended bed).
  • This mattress is intended for use with a cot recommending a mattress size of 1320mm x 700mm and a thickness of at least 120mm in height. a correct fitting mattress should not have more than 20mm of space between the cot sides or ends.

Caution

  • Do not use the product if any part is broken; torn or missing and use only spare parts approved by manufacturer.
  • Avoid using loose fitting sheets, comforters, quilts or blankets. These are all linked to an increased risk of serious injury or death.

Suffocation hazard

  • Never place additional items into the cot space such as bumpers, pillows, toys, lambswool or bulky bedding as this significantly increases the risk of SIDS.

Important Safety Warning

  • Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death.

Red Nose recommends six key recommendations for babies aged 0-12 months to help reduce the risk of sudden infant death:

  • Always place baby on their back to sleep
  • Keep baby’s face and head uncovered
  • Keep baby smoke free, before and after birth
  • Use a safe sleeping environment, night and day
  • Babies are recommended to sleep in their own safe sleep space with a caregiver or parent from birth to six months
