ComfortOur customisable, double-sided Kloudcell™ comfort layer means you can choose what firmness level works for you. Bamboo charcoal is not only antimicrobial, the perforated memory foam takes the sting out of heat, relieves pressure, promotes airflow, and most importantly it helps you get a better night's sleep.Our unique double pocket spring layer acts as a great source of ventilation. The open structure allows air to circulate freely thus providing a cooler sleep. In contrast, a full block of foam acts as a barrier to ventilation and traps heat in it. This makes the mattress hot, especially during the Australian summer! Memory Foam infused with millions of gel beads to maintain perfect temperature through the night, this material adapts to your body to redistribute heat and offer pressure relief. Eva's latex open cell and pinhole structure allows it to flex and breathe.
SupportDesigned to work with your body, not against it, our 5 Zoned Adaptive Foam Springs are crafted to react to your body's slightest movements. Each spring offers tailored support without compromising our famous zero disturbance® tech. Plus, with airflow in all the right areas, it’ll help give you a cooler night’s sleep.Our unique combination of micro and pocket springs provide support where it matters. Our 5 zone pocket springs provide optimal support from head to toe ensuring the body is properly aligned, no matter the sleeping position. The springs at the edges are also developed with thicker premium grade spring, eliminating the feeling of falling off. The micro springs bring an additional support layer closer to the surface, providing an extra bouncy feeling when sleeping on it. The patented Micro Springs technology creates air flow through the mattress, relieves pressure wherever it's most present during sleep and lends support as close to the body's contours as possible. Superior Edge Support: supported by robust springs along its side pockets, an Eva mattress makes it near-impossible to fall out of bed or sink down when banished to the mattress's edge by your partner, cat or sleeping habits. This side-spring technology encourages sleepers to utilise and enjoy the mattress's full, lush and sprawling surface.

FAQs

Koala Soul Mate

Is Koala Soul Mate good for hot sleepers?

The Koala Soul Mate mattress seems to be designed with features that can benefit hot sleepers. One notable feature is its Adaptive Foam Springs, which allow for better airflow through the mattress. Enhanced airflow can help dissipate heat and promote a cooler sleep environment. Additionally, the mattress may have other cooling technologies or materials, although the specifics would depend on the most recent product design. However, individual experiences can vary, so it's important to consider personal preferences and other factors such as local climate, bedding, and personal metabolism.

Is the Koala Soul Mate bouncy?

The Koala Soul Mate mattress has a balance of motion isolation and some degree of bounce, thanks to the Adaptive Foam Springs. While Koala mattresses are generally known for their excellent motion isolation, which reduces bounce and disturbance from movement, the inclusion of these foam springs in the Soul Mate model does impart a certain amount of bounce. This balance ensures you get the responsiveness for ease of movement or changing positions, while still maintaining the ability to minimize motion transfer for undisturbed sleep.

Do Koala mattresses have springs?

Yes, the Koala Soul Mate mattress does include a unique feature: Adaptive Foam Springs. These aren't your traditional metal springs, but rather springs made of foam. They are designed to adapt to your body's slightest movements, providing tailored support. This design incorporates Koala's Zero Disturbance® technology, meaning that movement on one side of the bed doesn't disturb the other side. The spaces between these foam springs enhance airflow, contributing to a cooler night's sleep. This innovative use of foam springs is unique among mattresses available in Australia.

Eva

What is Eva mattress made of?

The Eva Comfort Classic Mattress is a hybrid mattress made of memory foam, high-density foam, latex, and pocket springs, providing a balance of comfort and support. Produced in a family-owned business in Foshan, China, Eva is an Australian company

Can you flip an EVA mattress?

No, the Eva mattress is not designed to be flipped. It is a one-sided mattress, meaning that the comfort layers are only intended to be used on one side. The mattress is constructed in a way that the top side is optimized for comfort and support, while the bottom side is typically a non-slip surface that helps keep the mattress in place on the bed frame. It is recommended to rotate the mattress occasionally to promote even wear, but flipping it over is not necessary or recommended for maintaining its intended comfort and support.

How long does it take for Eva mattress to inflate?

Most memory foam or hybrid mattresses, like the Eva mattress, take about 24-72 hours to fully inflate after being unpacked from their compressed packaging. It's usually okay to sleep on them after a few hours, although this can depend on the brand's specific instructions and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
