What is the best mattress, Australia? And what makes it unforgettable? As it turns out, the answer is dead simple — it’s the one that suits you best. Because when you’re looking for a new bed, your sleeping style, the people you sleep with and how comfy you want it to be all need to come into play.

Koala mattresses are guaranteed to last you at least 10 years, no matter how much time you spend ‘jumping on the bed’
What is the best mattress for you?
Before diving into the unbridled thrill of mattress shopping, let’s take a moment to look inside ourselves. That’s right. It’s time to get deep. We want you to think about the how, why, where and when of your sleep. Ultimately, these are the things that will guide you towards choosing the right mattress. 💤 Sleeping position. Your sleep position says a lot about you and can also help you choose a mattress. Now imagine having one that suits all sleeping positions and supports your body’s most important zones throughout the night. At Koala, you won’t have to imagine because we’ve created just that. 💤 Bed sharing. Space is a must, whether you sleep alone or share a bed with a partner, dog or the whole damn family. Nobody wants to sleep on the edge of the mattress for eternity. So, be realistic about how many people are in your bed and how much room you need to get a good kip. 💤 Feeling fine. If Goldilocks taught us anything, it’s that porridge can be a nightmare and that ‘just right’ is a very personal matter. When it comes to the bounce factor, some of us like it hard, some of us like it soft, and others like it in between. At Koala, we cater to all kinds of comfort preferences. “I don’t think it’s necessarily choosing between hard or soft,” says Koala’s Bedding Manager, Stephanie Roberts-Baxter. “It’s about finding a mattress that suits your ‘feel’ preference.” So go on, get in your feels.Mattress features that matter
Now that you’ve learned a bit about yourself, weighing up a mattress’ features won’t be so hard. These are a few things you can decide on that’ll make answering ‘what is the best mattress?’ a little easier.Materials
Sheets aren’t the only thing in bed where materials count. It counts for your mattress too. Koala mattresses have features such as COOLMAX® fibres for breathability, because keeping your cool is important in bed. They also contain TENCEL™ Lyocell for smoothness and sustainability, with the ~fancier~ ones boasting a Flippable Kloudcell™ Comfort Layer to perfect firmness. Sign us UP!Springs versus no springs
Yeah, box springs and pocket spring mattresses used to be the thing. Centuries ago. But the times, well, they are a-changin’. Today, mattresses without springs are also popular and have loads of benefits. “Foam mattresses offer zero disturbance,” explains Stephanie. “When your partner is tossing and turning, you don’t have that motion flow through to your side of the bed.” And best of all? No creaking when you’re ‘jumping on the bed’.Price
Money matters. And getting a quality mattress for a decent sleep shouldn’t mean digging into your holiday fund. Need to choose a mattress that suits your budget? Sure. But the trick? Buying one with the quality and comfort of a more expensive model.Size
Everyone knows the basic king, queen, double and single mattress sizes. But taking what you know about your bedtime sitcho, Koala recommends aiming for something a little bigger to ensure you get enough space.Sustainability
On a Koala mattress you can sleep better at night knowing your mattress is made to the highest social and environmental standards. We give a damn about the planet, and we know you do too.
