Koala sale guide: save 20% on these best-selling sofa beds and mattresses

Koala sits in the mid-market tier, offering a significant step up from budget flat-pack brands without the premium price tag of heirloom furniture. Their quality is defined by FSC-certified timber, high-density Kloudcell foam and durable, often washable fabrics, built to withstand 7–10 years of daily use. While their tool-free assembly is incredibly convenient, it does mean the furniture is designed for practicality rather than multi-generational longevity. Ultimately, the brand’s 120-night trial and 5-to-10-year warranties act as a solid guarantee that you’re getting a sturdy, well-engineered product that punches above its weight in comfort and sustainability.

Koala almost always has items in its clearance section, but aside from that, you can expect sales typically aligned with big Australian shopping days like Boxing Day, Afterpay Day, Easter, EOFY and, usually, their biggest sale, Black Friday. During these windows, discounts generally range from 15% to 30% off. For those shopping between major events, the brand frequently offers Spend & Save promotions or a 10% discount for new newsletter subscribers.

The clearance section is separate from its outlet shop, which is only available to Perth-based shoppers, and the many Koala sales run year-round, including during EFOY, Black Friday and Boxing Day.

But Koala sales are notoriously fast-moving; the discounts are usually only live for a limited time, and popular pieces tend to sell out quickly.

Yes, but unfortunately, only if you live in Sydney. The brand has a showroom at Supa Centre in Moore Park where you can chat with a rep and get hands-on with pieces. The showroom doesn’t include a warehouse on-site for large item collection, but if you want a piece, you can order it and have it delivered directly to your door.

Before you check out, measure your space carefully. Consider width, depth and height, and don’t forget doorways, hallways and staircases, so your new sofa actually fits its destination and delivery path.

Historically, both events have offered the same base discount of up to 30% off, but Black Friday is arguably the better sale due to its stackable bonuses and better inventory levels. In 2025, Koala’s Black Friday event featured an additional $100 off for the final 24 hours on top of the 30% discount, a perk rarely seen during the Boxing Day window. Also, since Black Friday occurs in November, popular items are more likely to still be in stock. But by Boxing Day, many sought-after colours and configurations have often sold out or are on extended backorder.
