Koala's Top-Rated Mattress Is Under $1000 Off RN So Run, Don't Sleep Walk

Whether you’ve bought a new place, have just moved rentals or are getting sick and tired of sitting on the same crusty couch every day (let’s not mention the mysterious stain that won’t stop staring at you), there’s no better time than the present to shop for new furniture. Afterpay Day sales on homewares and furniture always pop off — and our friends at Koala? The brand is hosting one we’re truly excited for.

These guys aren’t playing around, slashing up to 30 per cent off their entire site. We’re talking bed frames, mattresses, couches, and living room and outdoor furniture. In other words, it’s everything you could possibly need to turn your musty dusty abode into a cosy home.

One of the best discounts to take advantage of during Koala's Afterpay Day Sale is the mattresses. The Koala Plus Mattress is the most heavily discounted mattress at 30 per cent off (now from $735, usually from $1,050), and is the brand's most advanced mattress yet. It has a customisable medium to medium-firm feel, and a reversible topper that you can flip depending on the season.

While Afterpay Day doesn't officially kick off until Thursday March 19, Koala has started their sale early (March 12), so you have an extra week to shop the sale event.

Need a little inspo on what to shop from Koala's 2026 Afterpay Day sale? We've got that in spades!

Our Koala 2026 Afterpay Day Sale Top Picks:

Koala Mattress

This bad boy is has been rated Australia's top-rated mattress, and is the brand's best-seller. The Koala Mattress is a flippable mattress, so you can choose between medium and firm support. Alternatively, you can opt for a half/half mattress if you share your bed with a partner, so you can both choose what suits your body best, no compromise required.

Koala Luxe Mattress

This mattress is the creme-de-la-creme of Koala’s range. Wrapped in Aussie cashmere and with seven multi-layered support zones, it contours to your body and offers unparalleled comfort. It also has phase change heating and cooling tech to help keep you from freezing your ass off this winter or sweating bollocks in summer.

Bangalow Modular Sofa

I hope whoever invented modular sofas gets every green light for the rest of their lives. Not only is this insanely cute, you can mix and match the mods to get the exact couch your space needs. Whether you need a compact two-seater or a massive seven-seater with a chaise, you can customise the Bangalow to be bespoke to you. Wanna change it up down the line? You can also buy individual sofa modules! 

Byron Sofa Bed

Anticipate having guests over and don’t have a spare bedroom? Or perhaps you just want to get extra cosy when curled up in front of the TV? Whatever your reason for opting for a sofa bed, we couldn’t recommend the Byron Sofa Bed enough. It’s got clever storage behind the seats, so pillows won’t be strewn across the floor, and the covers are machine washable. Yay for no more crusty stains!

Brunswick Bed Base

What is life without a stylish bed base? We love this minimalistic one, mostly due to the piping on the edge of the headboard. There’s just something about it, matched with the bush green, that screams come and sleep in me.

Kirribilli Bookshelf

She’s simple but sophisticated. This versatile number could be used as a living room display shelf or office bookshelf. There’s also a narrower version, as well as a short and wide edition, so you can pick one that best suits your needs.

Kirribilli Coffee Table

Pair this with the above bookshelf, and you’ve got yourself cohesion, baby! This coffee table is simple yet practical, with a discrete shelf to store your remotes, coffee table books, board games, whatever you fancy. And its minimalist design means you can have fun jazzing it up with decor!

Have fun setting up all your new furniture!
