Are koala mattresses latex?


A good mattress is the key to a good night! But it is not easy to choose the perfect one. Some people like it soft, some love it firm and others want to have a natural one. The Koala mattress appears to be one of the best mattresses according to internet reviews. But is it 100% natural? The Koala's firm is an Australian one. It was created in 2015. Koala mattresses are medium firm, and they are made of a high and good quality product! That's why the price may be so expensive! They are sent in a box even if it is a King or a Queen size and the delivery is free of charge. The Koala mattress also has a 120 night free trial. That means that people who have bought a Koala mattress have 120 days to try it freely. By that time, they had created 3 great foam mattresses.Let's review one of them: the Koala mattress !


Composition of the mattresses:


Our sweet, comfortable Koala mattresses are composed of three layers. 


A mix of foam and latex


  • The first one is a 16 cm great support zone which is the base of the mattress. The base is made of a Kloudcell foam which is denser than the ordinary memory foam and split over 3 zones.
  • Then you have a 7 cm soft and breathable cloudy foam which is made of very good quality polyfoam and a blend of latex. That great foam has the advantage of keeping your memory in shape.
  • And to finish, a real soft cover made with 35% Tencel lyocell fibers blended with 65% polyester.

That respects our planet and health (even with latex)


Koala mattresses are GECA approved, which means Good Environmental Choice Australia. That means no more heavy metal inside (such as mercury or lead) and no more phthalates inside either. Koala mattresses also have a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emission, which makes the utilization and construction of the mattress good for the environment and safer for the health of the sleeping person. Moreover, Koala is known to be very socially responsible and ethical. Returned products are -for example-recycled or given to one of their 30 charity partners.


Benefits of latex


Latex makes part of the second layer. It is not so good for the environment, but it is essential for good support.


A good support for your body


The second layer is a 7 cm adjustable one. It has 2 sides: one medium firm (6.5/10) and one firmer (7.5/10). This second layer is composed of great memory foam and latex. The latex was added in order to support your whole body well, and prevent you from sinking into it. It was designed in order to align your hips with your shoulders!


A better support for your partner


Latex also isolates movement well! That means that if you are sleeping with your partner and moving a lot in your sleep, your partner will not feel it so much! The mattress is not 100th natural, but the latex present inside is necessary to reduce the impact of your movements and their sounds. The latex also helps the Koala mattress to be more breathable! It does not absorb liquids easily and when liquids are absorbed, the mattress drys really quickly! That can be a strong advantage for people that are sweating a lot in their sleep, especially when they are not sleeping alone!


Some Latex to support your body greatly!


In regard to all of this, we would say that you will love the Koala mattress for its form, firmness and softness, even if it is not 100% natural. People who are allergic to latex should not buy that great soft medium mattress. If you are not allergic and really want to sleep in peace and in harmony with your partner, do not hesitate to buy that great mattress, especially if you are moving a lot in your sleep! Ready to have the best night of your life?
