Firmness Info
The Koala mattress has a double-sided comfort layer that you access by unzipping the cover, and flip this layer over. You can choose between medium-firm support and firmer support. Koala recommend trying the medium-firm default side first.
The Koala Plus mattress has a double-sided comfort layer that you access by unzipping the cover, and flip this layer over. You can choose between medium-firm support and firmer support. Koala recommend trying the medium-firm default side first. The Koala Plus mattress is the firmest, the Koala in the middle, and the Soul Mate is not quite as firm. The same order applies when using the softer side.
Rated as a medium-firm mattress (5 out of 10 on the firmness scale), it offers the right balance between softness and support. This firmness level is ideal for back, side, and stomach sleepers, promoting healthy spinal alignment and reducing the risk of discomfort.
