Koala Sofa Bed Review
The Koala Sofa Bed is a comfortable, practical sofa bed that is remarkably easy to assemble. This sofa bed makes up part of Koala’s popular product range that also includes the iconic Koala Mattress.
Purchase and delivery
The Koala Sofa Bed can be conveniently ordered online through the Koala website, and it will arrive at your door in 4 boxes (see delivery times in our ‘Delivery’ section further down).
Delivery is available Australia wide but shipping may incur a cost depending on your location and your order.
As we mentioned, the Koala Sofa Bed was very easy to assemble. To see exactly how to set up your Koala Sofa Bed, check out Koala’s video below:
The Koala Sofa Bed can be ordered in 4 different colours – Ink, Vanilla, Tinny, and Gum Leaf. There are also two additional colour options that make up a ‘luxe edition’ – ‘Paperbark’ and ‘Penguin Parade’.
These colours all have an earthy vibe, and should enable you to choose a colour to match any home decor colour theme.
Comfort and support
The Koala Sofa Bed in ‘sofa’ mode has a comfortable, but supportive feel. We found it be more comfortable than many sofas that we have tested in the big retail stores.
The ‘luxe edition’ option that we tested (paperbark) appeared to have slightly thicker and higher quality fabric.
It only takes a matter of seconds to transfer this sofa into ‘bed mode’. The sleep surface has a firm and supportive feel, but it should offer enough comfort for temporary sleep situations. If you do share this bed, partner disturbance shouldn’t be a major problem.
The finer details
The Koala Sofa Bed presents nicely and certainly looks more sophisticated than many sofa beds on the market. Unfolding the sofa into the bed requires minimal effort, as is folding it back into sofa mode.
This sofa comes with a 120 night trial period, so you can return the sofa bed for a full refund if you are not satisfied. It also comes with a 5 year warranty.
Available sizes
The Koala Sofa Bed is available in 3 sizes. The 1.5 seater which is ideal for kids (and opens up to a single mattress), the 2.5 seater (which converts to a double size mattress), and the 3 seater (which converts into a queen mattress).
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025.
Final verdict
The Koala Sofa Bed is lovely product and would be a handy addition to any household. It is easy to assemble, transforms easily to a bed, and is notably comfortable in sofa mode.
