The material is so soft but somehow really durable feeling at the same time. Lounge is SUPER comfy, my kids and cat especially love it. It doesn't take up much space and looks so stylish, we put it against the wall in our kitchen/dining room and it's such a great addition. Haven't slept on the bed part yet but we got it out and it's also very comfortable, most sofa beds are awful but this is spectacular. I don't even leave reviews usually but this definitely deserves one. Love it, thank you.

Excellent 1.5 seater sofabed
I’m in a cute and very tiny 1-bed apartment. Very rarely need to have guests sleeping except for my when my young adult son visits from interstate. The size and comfort of this sofabed is perfect. Looks great, and I assembled it alone without any trouble. Highly recommended.

FAQs about the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen]
What is the difference between the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] and [3rd Gen]?
The Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] offers a step up in both style and comfort.
It’s available in two new exclusive Koala-only fabrics, including five brand new colours, while the Koala Sofa Bed [3rd Gen] offers a range of classic Koala colours.
The upgraded seat is now 11% deeper at 60cm, so you can stretch out and really sink in, compared to the compact 54cm Koala Sofa Bed [3rd Gen] seat. The Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] also features multi-layer seat comfort with a plush pillow-top layer, zoned backrest, front edge support, and a sturdy support base.
Covers on the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] are fully removable, washable, and even upgradable thanks to a quick-slip lining - while the Koala Sofa Bed [3rd Gen] covers and topper are fixed and spot-clean only. Both the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] Lifestyle and Luxe fabrics are water resistant, something you won’t find on the Koala Sofa Bed [3rd Gen].
The ottoman is also more versatile - flipping from cushion top to a handy wooden side table - whereas the previous edition ottoman simply matches the sofa fabric.
Size-wise, the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] has a slightly greater overall depth (105cm vs 99cm) and taller backrest (85cm vs 81cm), with widths of 178cm (Queen), 152cm (Double) and 117cm (Single). The sofa bed’s total depth when open is also larger at 224cm versus 215cm for the previous edition.
The Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] starts at $2,390 — a $400 increase over the Koala Sofa Bed [3rd Gen] $1,990 - reflecting its enhanced comfort and easy care fabrics.
What makes the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] so comfortable to sleep on?
Unlike most sofa beds that compromise on sleep comfort, the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] features an integrated Kloudcell® topper - the same award-winning tech used in our famed mattress range.
Kloudcell® is an open-cell foam that delivers superior support, breathability and responsiveness, giving you the closest feeling to floating on a cloud. This means your sofa bed is genuinely comfy for a full night’s sleep.
Kloudcell® balances the contouring feel people love about memory foam with enhanced airflow to keep you cooler, making it ideal for both short naps and longer stays. And because it’s part of Australia’s most awarded mattress range with over 50,000 five-star reviews, you can count on a better night’s sleep - whether you’re hosting guests or claiming it for yourself.
What makes Koala's fabrics exclusive?
Koala fabrics are designed exclusively in our Sydney studio, with every weave and colour crafted to capture the sun-kissed tones and textures of the Australian landscape.
They deliver premium beauty and tactility usually reserved for designer brands, made attainable through our direct-to-customer model.
Built for real life with removable, washable, and durable finishes, our textiles now contain more recycled content than before and PFAS-tested treatments.
It’s this unique mix of design, performance, and sustainability that makes Koala fabrics one-of-a-kind.
How should I wash the covers to keep my sofa bed looking as good as new?
The Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] has some great new fabrics that make wash and care a cinch!
For regular care, we recommend a weekly vacuum on the lowest setting. The added water-resistant treatment on the cover fabrics means most water-based spills will bead and are easily wiped away with a clean cloth if you are quick about it. Please note that the lining fabrics are not water-resistant and are not machine washable, you will need to spot clean these inner components
For spot cleaning, use a solution of mild detergent and clean warm water and a clean cloth to carefully clean out the stain. Avoid rubbing too hard and do not scrub with a stiff brush. When spot cleaning, take care not to wet/saturate the filling, blot out any excess liquid with a clean cloth and make sure that covers are completely dry before putting them back on.
If your Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] looks like it's in need of a little more TLC, simply remove the covers and the topper along the velcro and by the zips and you will be able to throw them into your washing machine at home (please check the capacity of your washing machine and do not overfill it!)
Each cover has a care label letting you know how you need to launder it, please follow these directions closely. After washing, reshape the covers whilst wet and line dry in the shade. Covers cannot be tumble dried, ironed or bleached, this can cause damage or shrinkage. Always make sure that your covers are completely dry before reattaching them.
Do I need tools to assemble my sofa bed?
No tools needed! Your Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] is designed for quick, stress-free assembly. All parts simply slot, screw, or zip into place with the help of alignment guides and coloured tabs - no Allen keys or screwdrivers required.
Can I purchase additional or replacement covers separately?
Absolutely! We offer the option to purchase additional or replacement covers separately. This allows you to change up the look of your Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] or have spare covers for easy rotation and cleaning.
Please note, the cover sets are for the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] only. Any sofa beds before this generation have fixed covers that cannot be changed or replaced. If you aren't sure which generation of the Koala Sofa Bed you have, please reach out to our customer service team!
