I live in bed now. That is to say, bed is not only for sleeping, but working, snacking, relaxing, reading, watching the Olympics, you name it. What, it’s not like we have anywhere else to be right now?! Who are you to judge me.
While staying in bed all day could be perceived as lazy (rude, how dare you, etc), a weekend itinerary jam-packed full of lazing about is actually super smart and very high brow. At least it is now that Koala — makers of Australia’s favourite mattress — has dropped three brand new mattresses, each one comfier than the last.
Since it was first founded in 2015, Koala has offered just one mattress. Given it has amassed some 25,000 five-star reviews over the years, the Australian company had not revisited its mattress offering, though it did launch lounge furniture, office staples, dining suites and bed frames.
Today though, the cult furniture brand adds three new mattresses to its range: the OG Koala Mattress, Calm As, and Soul Mate.
“We wanted to create a new customisable mattress range for everyone. And I think
we outdid ourselves with three mattresses that highlights our dedication to creating
products that have a minimal impact on the environment,” said Mitch Taylor, Koala
CEO and Co-Founder.
Let’s see what they’re all about, shall we?
OG Koala Mattress
Cost:
Single – $780
King Single – $950
Double – $1,000
Queen – $1,050
King – $1,250
Perfect for:
People who love sleeping but hate back pain and partners that’s toss and turn.
The New OG Koala Mattress is the most similar to the first piece to launch from the homegrown brand. It’s designed to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer with Zero Disturbance tech that stops a disturbed sleeper, tosser, or blanket hog from ruining your slumber. It’s got three high-density support zones to support your spine and boasts a surface made from TENCEL™ Lyocell fibre, which will keep you cool on hot nights. The New OG Koala Mattress has a 7cm comfort layer that you can flip to customise your sweet dreams.
Koala Calm As
Cost:
Single – $980
King Single – $1,080
Double – $1,350
Queen – $1,650
King – $1,950
Perfect for:
The eight-hour sleeper (or wannabe eight-hour sleeper) who runs hot.
The perfect balance of bounce and sink, the Calm As is for the serious sleeper. It’s got multi-level zoning and extra edge support, which means no accidental roll-offs, no wasted space, and no saggy pockets. It comes with a 7cm flippable comfort layer and 1cm quilted plush cover for extra cosiness, while the sleep surface is made with COOLMAX® Technology to help keep you feeling cool and dry through the night.
Koala Soul Mate
Cost:
Double – $2,350
Queen – $2,700
King – $2,950
Perfect for:
People who are serious about sleep. You want to fall asleep the second your head touches the pillow and stay there until morning.
This is it: the crème de la crème mattress in a box. The Soul Mate has 5 Zoned Adaptive Foam Springs that are crafted to react to your body’s slightest movements, delivering a custom sleep experience that’s entirely yours. The sleep surface is made with Sensapole® Technology which absorbs, stores and releases heat to ensure a comfy temperature while you sleep. A ventilated bamboo charcoal memory foam transition layer eliminates odours, absorbs excess moisture and also keeps temperature in check.
As with all of Koala’s products, your new mattress comes with a 120-night trial, a 10-year warranty and fast delivery. Koala is also a B-Corp and certified 1% for the Planet business, which means you can sleep sound and guilt-free knowing your new mattress looks after the environment too.
In a first for Australia, Koala’s new mattresses are fully GECA certified. This means each mattress in the range meets all health, sustainability and social impact criteria set by the country’s only independent, not-for-profit, multisector environmental certification program.
