Koala Joey Bed Base

Purchase and delivery

The Koala Joey Bed Base can be purchased online through the Koala website. The product will be delivered to your door in 2 boxes – a flat box and a long, narrow box.

Same day delivery is available in metro areas (with a few exceptions) whilst regional and rural deliveries take a few days.

Delivery is free delivery on orders that include a mattress or small items (bedding, linen, cushions & throws). Please see our Delivery information section further down for more information.

As well as the bed base, the flat box also includes a children’s bedtime story book – Rihanna the Goanna, a lovely touch by Koala. The flat box also contains an instruction booklet.

Removing the packaging will require some scissors or a knife, and should be manageable with one person. As with any product that requires assembling, the more floor space available (to lay out the pieces), the better.

Assembling

The Koala Joey Bed Base is well designed in terms of its assembly. It doesn’t require any tools (Allen keys, screwdrivers, spanners) and the instructions are easy to follow.

Once the pieces and parts have been removed from the packaging, it should only take 5–10 minutes to assemble. It will be easier with two people, but still possible with one person.

To get a sense of the assembling process, check out Koala’s videos below. We suspect that the titles of these videos should be the other way around, in other words the lower (floor) setting should be for toddlers, and the higher setting for kids.

Attaching the main frame pieces may need some careful positioning to ensure that the connections line up correctly. we had some trouble connecting a few of the corners.

When setting up the lower (floor bed) height, the legs conveniently screw into to the inner side of the bed base at the foot of the bed. This is a very thoughtful design, and means you won’t need to find additional drawer space.

The panel slats feel strong and sturdy, and can be snapped into place using a rather unique velcro material. The optional guard rail (purchased separately) is easy to attach.

Once assembled, the Koala Joey Bed Base blends a natural vibe with modern style. It should blend into most bedroom decor, and its pastel green tones are cleverly gender neutral.

Stability and practicality

In terms of build quality, the Koala Joey Bed Base is of a high standard. The timber feels smooth and strong, and the 4 ‘panel slats’ will provide plenty of support and airflow during sleep.

The bed base as a whole feels stable and should accommodate any single mattress, and children of all sizes. The headboard also feels sturdy and comes with a removable and washable cover. This allows you to switch between an upholstered look, or a timber look.

The two height options is a notable design feature of this bed base. It can be used as a floor bed for young toddlers (e.g. 2-3 years old), or as a normal bed for older children (e.g. 4-12 years old). On the high setting, there is 21cm (in height) of storage space underneath.

The legs are easy to attach and remove, making the height adjustment process very simple.

Koala Joey Bed Base

If you do use the optional guard rail, the height of the mattress used should not exceed 15cm high. Any higher than this will negate the safety aspect of the guard rail. The Koala Joey Kids Mattress is 15cm high, as is the Zeek Bunk Mattress.

The finer details

The Koala Joey Mattress is INPAA endorsed (for child safety) and uses FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified timber.

The Koala Joey Bed Base comes with a 120 night trial period. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).

The two height options is a notable design feature of this bed base.

This mattress also comes with a 5 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship.

Available sizes

This mattress is available in a single size – a popular bed size for young children.

Final verdict

The Koala Joey Bed Base is a good quality kids bed with a practical design. Its safety certification, trial period, and warranty form strong selling points.

Bedbuyer’s rating:  4.5 / 5

Timeless timber bed base that grows as they grow

Built with little ones in mind, this beautiful, solid timber, convertible bed base is designed with easily-adjustable legs to follow along with your child’s development. Pair it with removable guard rails on one or both sides to deter even the wriggliest little one from rolling out.

They grow up so fast. This bed base does too.

Our bed comes with two height options to take your kid from the floor to the ‘big bed’. The lower leg height is best suited for the transition out of the cot. When you’re ready for them to take it up a notch, simply unscrew the leg extensions from the inside of the bed rail and add them to each bed leg.

Detachable Guard Rails for extra peace of mind

Sideways, upside down, bum up — every kid sleeps differently. Ensure every sleep is a safe one with optional, removable curved-corner Guard Rails that are strong enough to keep the little sleepers safe from rolling out and your mind rested at night.

Guard Rails sold separately.

Switch up the look

Keep comfy during storytime with a removable, machine-washable upholstered cover that offers something a little softer to lean against. The timber frame beneath features a painted detail that elevates the design and offers an alternative look.

Sturdy and sustainable

All our products are made to stand the test of time and this Joey Bed Base isn’t any different. Made with quality, solid FSC® certified timber dowel legs, it showcases a stunning natural grain while offering durability and a timeless look.

Made by the original sleep experts

At Koala we know how to get a comfy night’s sleep. Our applied years of research and development into this bed base offers mattress ventilation, support and comfort from toddler to tween thanks to its plywood platform.

Make sure it’s the right fit

Try it properly for 120 nights. Not the perfect fit for your family? Return it for a full refund and we’ll pick it up for free if you live in a metro area. Plus, this Joey Bed Base comes backed with a 5 year warranty.
