    Make it a set

    Award-winning comfort you’d expect from Koala

    The Koala Modern Sofa is the 2023-25 Product Review Award Winner. Greedy with the spotlight, but generous with comfort features and luxury perks for less.

    Woman in white pyjamas lies on a large, light grey textured sectional couch with cushions. A green throw and a book are nearby.

    Generous with comfort

    The Modern Sofa cushions provide the perfect plushness to nestle up or stretch out on, without sinking in. Couch time just got a whole lot comfier.

    Generous with options

    This luxurious modular sofa can be configured in all different shapes and sizes with the 5.5 Seater Corner Modern Sofa giving you the option between a left or right sided corner. It also comes in a variety of iconically Aussie fabrics so you decide whether it matches your look or stands out as the centerpiece.

    Live in luxury for less

    The Modern Sofa Luxe Edition is covered head to toe in our luxury boucle — a super-soft and cloudy textured fabric designed with sustainability in mind (made with over 20% recycled fibres). With this heavier weight, textured fabric, now you can get showroom style and quality at living room prices.

    Built to last

    When you decide to move, this modular sofa disassembles and reassembles fast, without the need for tools.

      Excellent Service and Function

      I had my sofa delivered the day after I ordered it. Super easy to assemble and I've been using it for about 3 weeks. My daughter loves the ottaman which is great for me as I love the chasie.

      I'm contemplating switching it up however to the luxe fabric. With the 120 day returns policy this has made my decision making and 'cognitive dissonance' easy to deal with. Great work Koala - and I love my turtle adoption as well.

      Sofa

      Easy to assemble even for me ( no DIY skills) and looks beautiful in my living room. Also extremely comfortable. My only problem is keeping the dogs off!
