About the Koala Mattress

Probably one of the more well-known Mattress in a Box brands in Australia, social media-savvy Koala is a Sydney-based company seeking to simplify the way furniture is bought. Since their founding in 2015, they have since expanded their product range well beyond the Koala Mattress.

The Koala Mattress includes three specific areas of high-density support, strategically placed beneath the torso, hips, and legs to provide extra support where it's needed the most.

Mattress Cover

The cover of the Koala mattress helps keep you cool all night which is made with TENCEL®, which is known for its breathability. Although TENCEL® also has a higher absorbency which hampers moisture-wicking, it is a natural fabric good for the environment.

‍Is the Koala mattress cover machine-washable?
‍No, unfortunately, it is not. Although the New Koala mattress is easily removed thanks to its zipper feature, it is recommended that the mattress cover be hand-washed with warm soapy water and line-dried in the shade. Best to spot clean only. This could possibly prove an inconvenience in the long run.
