This new sofa design is proof Koala has grown up – but still has quality, practicality and value at heart
Anyone who’s only glanced at the headlines or seen some of Koala’s playful, often viral advertising campaigns, could easily be forgiven for thinking the brand hasn’t strayed far from it’s mattress-in-a-box roots. But a visit to the brand’s website in 2026 will quickly show there’s a lot more to it than that – especially where the new Tamarama modular sofa is concerned. With a coastal-chic style and considered design that’s just as suited to a generous country house as it is a jewel-box of an apartament, this sofa is a perfect example of Koala’s evolution.
There are pieces in Koala’s range that suit all kinds of styles and homes, from sophisticated to flamboyant. In fact, you can even find Koala mattresses in boutique hotels, like the Berry View Hotel, which has said the Koala mattresses “have been such a hit with guests, we know you’ll be well-rested after a stay with us”.
But at the core, each design is intended to be functional and practical for living – with pets, kids, other adults and the realities of day-to-day life. Think performance fabrics, washable and replacable covers in a mix of timeless and on-trend colourways, quality materials and finishes and designs that are easy to assemble without the need for tools. The level of consideration Koala puts into each piece means they not only look great, but are also comfortable.
“We’re obsessive about comfort – as a business, it’s in our DNA,” Koala’s Chief Design Officer James Whitta said when the Tamarama sofa was launched in May 2026, adding:
“I think this is what makes the Tamarama so special. It not only looks beautiful but it’s been engineered to feel indulgent for years to come.”

- Click on the new tab in your browser, which we’ve opened to take you straight to the Koala website.
- Add the desired items to your cart, along with any required choices for size, fabric, configuration or anything else.

The Koala mattresses and furniture Home Beautiful loves
As well as writing about Koala, the Home Beautiful team have tried and bought pieces from their range. This includes Editor in Chief Elle Lovelock, who described the Joey mattress as “essential for kids beds” when I asked her.
“I bought the Joey mattress for my son when he was ready to move to a ‘big boys bed’. I love that it’s made for kids. He loves that it’s a bit thinner than a regular mattress so he can actually climb up onto the bed himself! The other thing that’s great is you can unzip and wash the protective cover, so it gives an extra layer of protection. Essential for kids beds!”
Elle Lovelock, Home Beautiful Editor in Chief
Home Beautiful contributor Rebecca Mitchell – whose previous experience brings an experienced eye to home and lifestyle media – also praised the buying experience and design of her Koala bed base.
“I have the Koala Balmain bed base and it is perfect,” she told me.
“My requisites for buying a new bed were: Can it be delivered to my door and can I assemble it on my own? I really liked that I could choose a delivery day and time for my bed, so there wouldn’t be any mishaps with delivery. It was also so easy to put together! I did it entirely on my own, without any tools. It looks great, is sturdy, and doesn’t creak – I couldn’t be happier.”

Our top tips to save and get more value with Koala
One of my favourite things about shopping online is that there’s almost always a way to save of add value to an order, and Koala is no exception to this trend. After going through the Koala website from top to bottom, here are my insights on some of the easiest ways to save.
- Sign up for the newsletter: Koala offers a 10% discount on your first order after signing up to the newsletter. You’ll get a welcome email that has a link to shop, with the discount automatically applied at the checkout.
- Bundle to save: Koala offers a 10% saving on bedroom and living room bundles compared to buying items separately. This is ideal if you’re furnishing a whole room, with actual dollar savings ranging from $126 to $730 when checked in May 2026.
- Check the clearance section: There were discounts of between 15-50% when I was recently browsing Koala’s clearance section, including $93 off a Duvet Cover Set (reduced from $185 to $92) and $658 off a 3.5-seater Wanda sofa bed (reduced from $3290 to $2632).
- Wait for seasonal sales: Koala often has big sales around Easter, Black Friday and Boxing Day. These are prime times for bigger discounts. For example, during Afterpay Day in March 2026, Koala offered savings of up to 30% off, plus complimentary shipping for new email subscribers.

Editor’s tip to save on Koala in Sydney or Perth
If you’re in Sydney, check out the Koala Second Home store, where customers can buy refurbished Koala products that are in near-new condition after being returned. This is another way to save on the price of buying Koala brand new, and great for those who prioritise sustainability. The store is located at 1 Kellicar Rd, Campbelltown.
There’s also a similar Koala Outlet available online for people in Perth.
Top Koala discount code questions, answered by our team
Whether you’re new to Koala or are back for more, we’ve gathered the most common questions to make your savings journey smooth and simple.
The easiest way is to sign up for the Koala mailing list, which gives you 10% off your first order. You can sign up from a product page by clicking ‘Sign up to get 10% off’ (I’ve only seen this when the product is full price), or ‘Sign up & Save’ from the right side of the screen on desktop or mobile. You may also get a pop-up offer when you visit the Koala site.
Another way to save on your first order is by asking a friend to share their Koala referral link with you. This gives you $200 off your first order, and they will get a $100 e-gift card if you keep your items past the 120-day trial period.
You may not need a code at all because Koala offers free shipping on all mattresses, as well as linen, bedding and small items for metro customers. And any order to metro Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth that includes a mattress will get free standard delivery. If there’s a free shipping promo, you’ll also find it here.
Generally, Koala promo codes don’t combine with items already on sale. However, during big sale events like Black Friday or Christmas, there can be exceptions – you’ll find details here when that’s the case.
Yes! Koala offers a 10% student discount via UNiDAYS. So you need to create a free account with UNiDAYS and verify your student status to get the discount.
More Koala FAQs
Metrodeliveries are usually made on the same day if you order before 3pm on weekdays. If you’re in a regional or rural area, delivery typically takes 10-15 business days, and is faster the closer you are to a capital city.
In metro areas, furniture items like sofas, sidetables and rugs have fees from $35 to $95. There’s also a $70 fee for Saturday delivery when it’s available. If you’re in a regional or remote area, delivery fees are calculated and shown at the checkout. To give you an idea, I checked delivery for a Tamarama modular sofa (standard two-section model) to addresses in Newcastle, Wollongong, Surfers Paradise and Ballarat and was quoted a delivery fee of $89.
Koala offer a generous 120 days trial on mattresses, sofa beds, sofas, bed bases, outdoor furniture, coffee and side tables and smaller items like pillows. This gives you time to try out the pieces, and if you’re not 100% satisfied during this time, you can return it for a full refund (minus any return delivery fees for areas outside metro Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra or Perth).
Yes, the original, award-winning Timber Bed Base has been discontinued for several years as Koala has continued to innovate and design new options. This includes the wooden Balmain Bed Base – which you can get with or without a wooden bed head – and the Kirribilli Bed Base. The Paddington Bed Base, which has a fabric bed head, also won a Good Design Award, and all three of these bed bases offer sturdy wooden bases and support for the mattress – similar to the original Timber Bed Base.
