Introducing the Koala Mattress BC

From June 16, 2025, Koala Sleep Japan will unveil an exclusive model known as the Koala Mattress BC, available at BIC Camera Group's specialized bedding store, Umo Factory. This innovative mattress employs the proprietary Cloud Cell™ foam, which uniquely combines both soft and firm materials for a superior sleep experience. Also noteworthy is the exclusive mattress cover designed specifically for the Umo Factory.

Features That Rival Popular Models

The top layer of the Koala Mattress BC features the same blend of high-resilience and low-resilience materials found in the original Koala Mattress, ensuring excellent breathability that alleviates discomfort caused by trapped heat. Utilizing a zoning method, the design allows for tailored firmness in the lower layer of the mattress, distributing body pressure effectively. The firmer center supports the lower back while softer materials around the shoulders and feet create balanced elasticity.

Focus on Hygiene with Exclusive Mattress Covers

Responding to the high hygiene standards required by Japanese consumers, the top portion of the mattress cover can be easily removed and laundered in a washing machine. Featuring Tencel™ Lyocell fibers, it offers a delightful touch that makes you want to stay in bed all day. The cover also carries a unique point design exclusive to the Umo Factory.

120-Day Trial Period

At Koala, all products come with a generous 120-day in-home trial period, allowing customers to test the mattress without risk. If the mattress does not suit your needs, you can return it for free anywhere in Japan. Koala aims for every person in Japan to enjoy comfortable, uninterrupted sleep.

Note: Returns from remote islands are not accepted. Please check the official site for detailed conditions.

About Koala

Sleep performance, or "Slipa," is crucial for the sleep-deprived populace of Japan, which ranks lowest in sleep duration among the 33 OECD countries. Sleep deprivation leads to reduced daily performance, making quality sleep vital. Founded in 2015 in Australia as a direct-to-consumer (D2C) bedding and furniture brand, Koala has focused on developing mattresses that enhance sleep quality since entering the Japanese market in 2017.

Thanks to diligent research, Koala's Original Mattress has been awarded both the top spot in the "Best High-Resilience Mattress" and "Best Low-Resilience Mattress" categories by MyBest in September 2024. Following this, in October of the same year, Koala plans to release the "Koala Mattress® PLUS" and "Koala Mattress® SUPREME" based on insights from earlier models. All these products boast simple yet refined designs inspired by Australia's stunning nature.

In line with its commitment to creating a healthier and happier living environment, Koala has donated over 1.5 million AUD to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to aid in the conservation of endangered species such as the Koala. Additionally, support efforts extend to preserving Japanese endemic species like the Amami Black Rabbit and Miyako Grass Lizard.

Transforming Japanese Bedrooms with Koala Mattresses

By combining customer-centric product development with a D2C model, Koala makes ordering convenient from home. Enhanced customer service, next-day delivery, and a flexible 120-day return policy transform the purchasing experience.

A Pledge for a Healthy Planet

Koala is committed to building a network of businesses that vow to fund environmental initiatives, aiming to support and promote this mission.
