  Got one last week, best mattress my wife and I have ever had. We even tested the 'glass of red wine on the bed while a bloke jumps on it' thing like they do in a video on their website and it works! We've already contacted them and are ordering a single one too for our daughter's bed.

  Sorry if this sounds like PR/shilling but I promise I have no association with the company; just a very satisfied customer.

    I have read other reviews, they all say pretty much the same as you, but I will trust a tightass ozbargainer over a random mturker anyday ;) Thanks :)

    If you're in Sydney, there's a chinese mattress store in Chatswood (the shopping arcade/mall is called Lemongrove opposite Westfield on Victoria Ave (where cars can't drive).

    I got mine for $250 delivered I think last year. It's pretty sturdy and does the job

  How's the mattress in terms of firmness? I like quite firm mattress (a bit like sleeping on a carpeted floor with a sleeping bag) so really need firm beds lol.

    From their website:

    It's no longer a choice between soft or firm, the Koala is universally comfortable, designed for all sleepers, shapes and sizes. With the perfect amount of support, the Koala evenly distributes your body weight and always works to push you back up. You won't feel like you're laying in quicksand rather a springy and supportive cloud.

      Thanks for that. Might have to go to the showroom for a nap to test it out.

  I would like to know the difference between ecosa, koala, and greywing
  They all seem to have very similar websites and pricing.

  That in itself sets of alarm bells for me with regards to wakng up to this deal.

  Actually it looks like its a rebadge of the American counterpart Casper/Leesa mattresses which also has same same.
  Both are 2014 startups

  That being said ecosa is cheaper and also has $50 boxing day discount

  Normal pricing for Single bed
  ecosa is $599, greywing is $645, and koala is $650

  Given its 4hr delivery, and that its been a week now, how has those who bought one find the bed in terms of how comfortable it is?

  • 

    nikkirose on 07/01/2016 - 09:30

    I have not purchased yet, due to jumping on so many bargains during the last 2 weeks of December, so I am still just doing laps around the mattress. I think the chance of it going any cheaper are a long ways off though.

      Yes, but no point buying discounted item, if it's not going to suit your needs (with the exception of Eneloops and Xiaomi Powerbanks)

      And by that I refer to its comfort.

      Most of the reviews I have seen have to do with how amazing it is to unpackage it.
      Those that do mention comfort are either too brief or too verbose like it was coming from the supplier themselves.

  We just bought one sight unseen. I paid over the phone at 2.30, the thing was at my door less than 1 hour later. I haven't spent a night on it, but it seems really good. I like a firm mattress and this thing does me fine. Side edge/wall is understandably not as stiff as a spring one, but it doesn't need to be. You lie on it and only where you lie moves. Partner disturbance is zero; awesome.

  I queried them on the 120 day trial. If you don't like it, they will send a courier and donate to a charity. Then you get a 100% refund.

  Paid $1000 for a king

    120 day trial is great! Thanks for your feedback.

    • 

      StevieRay on 12/01/2016 - 11:00

      Yes it's great.

      But I'd rather trial a bed which is reputed to be comfortable which would then reduce the risk of having to bother with storing existing mattress, unpacking new mattress and trialling it, only to have to organise a courier for the return.

      You have to wonder how cheap these are to actually manufacture if they can just give it away like that. And yes I understand that the alternate sales comment is that they are super confident of their product.

        Well they are just foam mattresses. I suspect that's why they can be made so much cheaper.

  After a bit of research, I found the following differences:

  Koala
  Made in Australia.
  Free express delivery in Australia and free 4-hour delivery in SYD, MEL & BRIS.

Combined with our lively base and hybrid support layer, your body weight will be distributed perfectly throughout the mattress.

  The Casper/Leesa mattresses are made in the USA and they're similar to the Greywing, however these aren't available for shipping to Australia.

  Hope this helps! I'm going to buy myself a Koala mattress.. And I'll update you later how it goes 🐨

  Looking at their information on their site. It seems that it is just foam mattress, perhaps with pocket spring underneath. Features seems to fit foam materials if you look past marketing terms. Adopting Koala is a nice touch though, but otherwise Koala seems to be made of cheaper materials compared to other brands with latex or memory foam layers.
