Purchase and delivery
You can order the Koala Wanda Sofa Bed online (through the Koala website) and it will be delivered to your door.
This product comes in a choice of 4 natural yet modern colours – Blush Sunset, Paperbark, Penguin Parade, and Green Wattle. The sample that we tested was the Paperbark colour option.
Koala offers a number of delivery options. Standard delivery involves Australia-wide delivery with a typical fee of $85 to metro areas. ‘Room Service’ and ‘Premium Delivery’ options include placement of your product into a room of your choice.
For more information about delivery, see our Delivery information section further down.
The Koala Wanda Sofa Bed arrives in 4 heavy boxes so we would strongly recommend having two people available to take delivery and place in your home.
Removing the Koala Wanda Sofa Bed from its packaging should take around 10-15 minutes. As per the assembling video below, we found that it helps to position all of the components strategically before you start the assembling process.
Assembling this sofa bed is relatively straightforward, but again we would recommend two people be on hand to put this product together.
If you opt for the Premium Delivery Service (only available in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane), all of the packaging materials will be removed from your home.
If not, 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 Wanda Sofa Bed comes with a handy instruction booklet which we found useful.
Dimensions
The Koala Wanda Sofa Bed is 251.5cm wide, 80cm tall, and 175cm deep (on the longer, chaise side). It has a total weight of 155.7kg.

Comfort and support
The outer fabric covers of this sofa bed feel durable and breathable.
In sofa mode, this product feels exceptionally comfortable and is well balanced with support and softness. It is possibly the most comfortable sofa mode that we have tested to date.
Converting the sofa to bed mode requires a little bit of strength, but should be manageable for most people. It involves the user pulling out the stored bed and pulling the cushion upwards.
Bed mode is completed by adding foam wedges and the mattress topper. This transformation is demonstrated well in the assembling video above.
Bed mode is supportive but comfortable. It should be very serviceable for guests or even medium to long-term sleep arrangements. Essentially, bed mode offers plenty of comfort and support on a nightly basis.
The finer details
The overall build quality of the Koala Wanda Sofa Bed is excellent. The quality of the foams and fabrics is of a high standard, as is the quality of the stitching and finishings.
One of the great features of this sofa bed is the ‘reversible chaise’. This means that you can choose which side you want the (long) chaise side, in sofa mode. The instruction booklet was very helpful in this regard.
Bed mode offers plenty of comfort and support on a nightly basis.
This sofa bed presents beautifully and gives off a modern, stylish look. In sofa mode, it has a nice depth but the seat cushions don’t sit particularly high.
The storage drawer adds even more practicality, and houses the mattress topper and foam pieces when in sofa mode. There is also some additional space for other small items.
It’s worth noting here that the foams used in the Koala Wanda Sofa Bed are certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®. Additionally, The Koala Wanda Sofa Bed uses FSC®-certified poplar, and solid American ash.
Trial period and warranty
The Koala Wanda Sofa Bed comes with a 120 night trial period. This means that you can return the product for a refund if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).
This product also comes with a 5 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This warranty duration is fairly typical of similarly priced products.
Available sizes
This sofa bed is available in a 3.5 seater sofa that opens up into a queen size mattress.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025.
Final verdict
The Koala Wanda Sofa Bed is possibly the best sofa bed on the market. It offers comfort and style, and its reversible chaise design is market-leading. The 120 night trial period is also noteworthy.
Bedbuyer’s rating: 4.9 / 5

Wanda is the ultimate chaise sofa, daybed, and queen-sized bed — all in one.
Four reasons to love the Wanda Sofa Bed
Multi-use design
A versatile chaise, daybed and queen bed in one — ideal for lounging, naps or sleepovers.
Reversible chaise
A chaise that switches sides effortlessly to restyle your room, or move it with ease.
Hidden storage
Deep storage that’s perfect for blankets, pillows or gadgets, keeping your living space tidy.
Tool-less assembly
Just two gumnuts — that’s all it takes for easy, tool-free setup so you can relax in minutes.
What a Wanda-ful world.
Home. Your perfectly imperfect palace, and the sofa is its heart. So why settle? Meet Wanda. The sofa that does it all — a stylish chaise sofa for lounging, a daybed for relaxing, a queen-sized bed for sleepovers, and hidden storage to tuck away all life’s little surprises.
Style up your space
Wanda is all about the design details. From its smooth curves to its balanced proportion and flowing lines, every inch is crafted with style in mind. It’s the perfect blend of modern design with everyday comfort.
We know our sit.
Solo. Together. Legs up. Legs out. Half-half. However you sit, we take it seriously to deliver comfort in any position. With full-sized sofa proportions, deep seats and a reversible chaise for stretch-out-ability. Plus, seats angled perfectly for sink-back comfort.
Fold out. Drift off.
Turn your world upside down in just two steps. That’s all it takes to transform Wanda from a stylish sofa into a queen-sized bed, engineered with the perfect sleep angle. It also comes with a ‘comfort kit’ including a plush Kloudcell® topper for cloud-like support.
Fabulous fabrics
We designed Wanda to be as beautiful as it is comfortable. It comes in four stylish, contemporary colours inspired by the Australian landscape. And it’s upholstered in luxe demi-bouclé fabrics made with at least 30% recycled materials. Looks good, feels good, and does good.
