Price & Value: Quality Sleep Without the Splurge

Koala manages to keep prices down without cutting corners. Its flagship model includes a flippable comfort layer, targeted support zones, and eco-conscious materials—features you’d typically expect in more premium mattresses.

Koala also offers a broader range to suit different budgets:

• The Koala SE Mattress (from $650) delivers excellent value with 3-zone support, a fixed comfort layer, and Zero Disturbance® tech—perfect for shoppers who want simplicity and quality on a budget.

• The Koala Plus Mattress (from $1050) introduces a seasonal flippable topper, enhanced cooling features, and five support zones.

• The Koala Luxe Mattress (from $2090) is for those who want superior comfort, with a plush 9 cm Kloudcell® comfort layer, 7-zone support, and a soft cashmere-blend cover.

The higher price point of an Eva mattress reflects its construction and trial and warranty policies. It’s an all-rounder, particularly for those who prefer the feel of a medium-firm mattress with springs. But for sleepers seeking both variety and value, Koala offers more flexibility across the range.

Comfort & Personalisation: One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Comfort is personal—Koala gets that. Its flippable Kloudcell™ layer allows you to choose between a medium-firm and a firm feel, all within the same mattress. No need to guess the ideal firmness that works best for you; you can try both at home and stick with your favourite.

That kind of flexibility is a game-changer, especially for couples with different sleep preferences. Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or combo sleeper, the Koala Mattress adjusts to your needs.

Looking for a little extra? The Koala Plus Mattress adds a seasonal two-sided topper—one side is cooling, the other is cosier for winter—and delivers even more targeted support for key pressure points. Plus, Koala’s mattresses deliver the contouring benefits of a memory foam mattress and the responsive feel of a latex foam mattress, giving you the best of both worlds.

Eva sticks with a one-size-fits-most approach via its single medium-firm feel. It’s well-balanced and suits many sleepers, but lacks the adjustability Koala offers.

Support & Spinal Alignment: Engineered for Real Bodies

Support isn’t just about comfort—it’s about waking up without aches and pains. Koala’s 3-zone support system—available even in the entry-level Koala SE—targets your shoulders, lower back, and hips to keep your spine aligned.

Move up to the Koala Plus and Koala Luxe, and you get even more support. The Plus features 5 targeted zones, while the Luxe boasts a 7-zone system designed to cradle every part of your body. These zones provide enhanced relief and support, especially for people with chronic pain or specific pressure points.

Eva’s hybrid mattress does offer sturdy, balanced support through memory foam and a 5-zone pocket spring system, but it lacks the precision of Koala’s dedicated zoned systems. For some, that might be fine—but if alignment is a concern, Koala offers more tailored solutions.

Temperature Control: A Cooler Way to Sleep

Nobody wants to wake up in a sweat, especially in Aussie summers. Koala’s range is thoughtfully designed to help you sleep cooler:

• Koala Mattress: Kloudcell™ foam promotes airflow and prevents heat build-up.

• Koala Plus Mattress: Adds CoolThread™ fabric and cooling gel foam to actively wick heat away.

• Koala Luxe Mattress: Features a breathable cashmere and linen-blend cover for luxe airflow and climate control.

Even the Koala SE includes breathable premium materials and a TENCEL™ Lyocell cover to help wick away moisture.

Eva’s hybrid build does allow for some airflow through the springs, but it doesn’t include specific cooling tech like Koala does. For hot sleepers, Koala provides clearer and more effective solutions.

Motion Isolation: No More Midnight Wake-Ups

Sharing your bed with a partner or pet? Koala and Eva both deliver on motion isolation. Each mattress features technology designed to minimise partner disturbance when someone moves around.

Koala’s foam-based construction, especially in the SE, Koala Mattress, and Plus, absorbs motion well. If your partner tosses and turns, you’re less likely to feel it. The Koala Luxe takes it even further with multi-layered support and thick comfort foam that adds extra stability.

Eva performs solidly too, with hybrid materials that isolate motion reasonably well—but Koala’s all-foam build has a slight edge in keeping sleep disruptions to a minimum.

Trial, Warranty & Delivery: Hassle-Free, Door to Floor

Koala gives you a 120-night trial and like Eva, offers a solid 10-year warranty on mattresses, giving you peace of mind for the long haul. But when it comes to convenience, Koala has the edge thanks to 4-hour same-day delivery in metro areas. That means you could be sleeping soundly on your new mattress the very night you order it.

Eva typically delivers within 3 to 5 business days—which isn't as instant as Koala.

The Final Word: Koala Pulls Ahead

The topic of Eva Mattress vs Koala ultimately comes down to your preferences. Eva offers reliable support, a year-long trial period, and a solid warranty. It’s a dependable, well-reviewed new mattress that suits a wide range of sleepers.

But if you’re after versatility, eco-conscious design, cooling tech, and fast delivery, Koala brings more to the table. From its customisable firmness to its sustainably sourced materials and targeted support zones, the thoughtful design of a Koala mattress caters to how real people sleep.

Looking for the perfect mattress that adapts to you—not the other way around? Koala has you covered. Smart, supportive, and surprisingly affordable, our mattresses are designed to meet a variety of sleep needs.
