Firmness Info
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.
The design offers a comfortable softness level while leaning toward the firmer side, with a focus on bodily support for a healthier night's sleep.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The Koala Plus Mattress offers the choice between medium-firm and firm comfort :
  • 1cm Quilted Plush Cover with COOLMAX® Technology
  • 7cm Flippable Comfort Foam Layers
  • 3 Zone Transition Layer
  • 3 Zone Support Foam Base with StayPut Edge Support
  • Anti-Slip Base.
The Onebed Essential mattress is the perfect sleep solution for those seeking maximum comfort and support at an affordable price. It is a two-layer foam construction:
  • ~7cm Gel Infused Memory Foam (top layer)
  • ~13cm High-Density Polyurethane Foam (bottom layer).
Comfort Info
No more tossing and turning, as Koala mattresses have a Zero-disturbance® layer meaning you'll sleep soundly no matter who you sleep next to. It's like sleeping in separate beds, without giving up the cuddles. All Koala mattresses come with an anti-bacterial treatment to help keep dust-mites and other nasties away.
The comfort, support, and durability remain unaffected by having a smaller base foam layer.
Support Info
StayPut Edge Support is effectively a firmer foam perimeter that creates super stable edges so that you can sit or lie right on the edge of the mattress without falling off.
By reducing the height of the mattress by approximately 5cm, you get the same high quality materials but at a fraction of the price!
Comfort Specs
The ultra cooling comfort layer made with COOLMAX® fibre is easy going on your skin, and helps your body feel cool and dry, even on muggy nights.
The ZoneOut Transition Layer is fitted with air tunnels meaning any excess or unwanted heat is efficiently dissipated which helps make for a cooler night's sleep.
