The Koala Mattress is possibly the most well-known mattress in a box product currently in Australia.
The Koala Mattress has a ‘dual foam’ layer construction which includes Koala’s ‘Kloudcell’ foam (designed to be breathable) and a support foam. Fairly basic in construction compared with other mattress in a box products but it does feel fairly comfortable. It has a distinct ‘bouncy’ feel that is noticeably more ‘rubbery’ than other foam only mattresses that we have tested. Due to this feel, it doesn’t feel quite as stable as some of its competitors, but nevertheless, it seems to offer a good balance of support and comfort. The outer cover seemed a little unsophisticated, but it is removable and washable which is always a plus.
The current listing for a queen-sized Koala Mattress is $1050. The average price of all 55 mattress in a box products in Australia is around $1040, making the Koala Mattress average in cost, and as such its value for money proposition is not as strong as some of its competitors. Koala has marketed this mattress brilliantly, but based on our examination of this mattress in context of the online mattress market, it would only sit in the middle of the pack for us.

Koala Mattress – Built for comfort
We’ve engineered Kloudcell – a comfortable, breathable, open-cell foam that is refined into the ultimate comfort layer.
The Koala Mattress has a unique foam has been tailored to give the lush feel of memory foam and latex, but with breathability and bounce to avoid the sinking feeling and heat that comes with mattresses made from these materials.
Koala Mattress – All the support you need
Striking the perfect balance between sink and bounce is no easy task. Koala tailors the feel of the mattress across three dimensions to ensure your body is properly supported from head to toe.
The Koala Mattress also has Zero Disturbance technology to ensure you won’t be worried about waking your partner (or be bothered by a restless one!).
A breath of fresh air
Our open-cell structure creates channels in the foam, which provides airflow and enables heat to escape. Even better, by minimising layers, we reduce glue, helping wick excess heat away from the body to keep you cool and comfortable.
The Koala Mattress – If looks could kill
The Koala Mattress has a unique removable, washable cover makes it easy to keep it looking and feeling fresh.
