Overview

The Hugo mattress is best for sleepers preferring a medium bed. Hugo has a 4 layer foam system that reduces partner disturbance and adds extra comfort and pressure relief to the mattress. Being medium firmness its best for people that sleep on their side or back, stomach sleepers tend to prefer a firmer mattress. The bed comes with a three months risk-free trial and excellent Australian made quality.

Koala beds are designed in Australia for Australians, with awards for eco-friendly manufacturing, a top-rated design and unique features just like the open-cell foam layer to keep the mattress cooler and give the not too firm, not too soft feel. Koala boasts a lightning-fast delivery that’s even better than Amazon, with 4 hour delivery in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Everywhere else, delivery remains fast and free. It’s hard to look for a brand new mattress and not hear about the koala mattress. They also claim to be the ‘highest-reviewed’ mattress in Australia.
