Firmness Info

The Lite mattress is best suited for back and stomach sleepers, who enjoy a firm sleep surface as it's about an 8 on the firmness scale. The design of the mattress provides a subtle hint of body contouring, which in turn offers comfort and pressure relief while sleeping. The Noa Lite is the firmest of the Noa mattresses, the Noa mattress is a medium-firm feel and the Noa Luxe falls inbetween both.

The Koala mattress has a double-sided comfort layer that you access by unzipping the cover, and flip this layer over. You can choose between medium-firm support and firmer support. Koala recommend trying the medium-firm default side first.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
Adaptive transition foam provides outstanding motion isolation to localise your sleeping partner's movements so you sleep better. Gel infused cooling memory foam wicks away heat away to keep you cool throughout the night. Individually pocketed springs are encased in a highly permeable mesh material that optimises airflow and enhances breathability.
Our customisable, double-sided Kloudcell™ comfort layer means you can choose what firmness level of work for you. It comes in a medium-firm feel but if you’re on the lookout for something a little firmer, it's as easy as unzipping and flipping the comfort layer.
Support
A high-density encases the springs, this perimeter edge support allows you to sleep edge-to-edge on the mattress without feeling like you'll fall off and sit on the edge without feeling the springs. Hand-tufting helps minimise body impressions with use over time and prevents the cover wrinkling, all while securing the comfort and support layers in place. Premium, cooling gel memory foam provides deep pressure relief, contouring and cushions your body where it needs it the most. The base layer is made of highly responsive and supportive pocket springs that provide a subtle bounce and minimise motion transfer. Made of thick-gauge steel, these springs offer phenomonal durability.
To help create an ideal foundation for sleeping, 3 targeted high-density precision cut support zones are designed to take the pressure off. No matter what position you prefer, overall it helps make a better sleeping experience.
