■About Koala®
"SuriPa" is important for sleep-deprived Japanese people!
Japan has the shortest sleep duration among the 33 OECD member countries.* Sleep deprivation leads to decreased daily performance. In 2015, Koala was founded in Australia as a D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) bedding and furniture brand. Since its entry into Japan in 2017, based on thorough research, it has continued to develop mattresses that improve SuriPa (Sleep Performance = quality of sleep).
Thanks to these efforts, in September 2024, the "Original Koala Mattress" won No.1 in both the "Recommended High-Resilience Mattress Popular Ranking" and "Recommended Low-Resilience Mattress Popular Ranking" by the product comparison service MyBest. In October of the same year, based on the know-how of the old model, "Koala Mattress® PLUS" and "Koala Mattress® SUPR" were launched.
