We earn advertising and referral fees from many of the brands we rank, and those fees affect where they appear.

Top3 Mattress compares mattresses sold in Australia, and we make our money when a reader buys through one of our links. Brands pay us advertising and referral fees, and those arrangements affect which mattresses we cover and how high they sit in our rankings. Some mattresses here have no arrangement with us at all.

Every mattress is scored against the same ten published criteria, and each of the ten scores is shown alongside the total. What those criteria measure, and how the total is set, are laid out on our How we rate page. The work behind the scores is desk work: we read published specifications, warranty documents and trial terms, and cross-check them against each manufacturer's own pages. We do not buy these mattresses and sleep on them, and no score here comes from in-home testing.

We do not cover every mattress sold in Australia, and the ones we can earn a commission on are more likely to be among the ones we do cover. Prices, trial lengths and warranty terms change without notice, so check the brand's own page before you buy. A ranking here is not a guarantee about a product and not an endorsement of it. Our full terms are set out in the Terms of use.

Head to head

Koala vs Newentor Hybrid Mattress

Newentor is the cheaper of the two to get into and is a seven-zone spring hybrid; Koala is all-foam with three zones. Both run a 120-night trial. Koala can be flipped between two firmnesses, so you are not locked into your first guess, and it scores highest on this list for service. Newentor comes in medium-firm only and the maker makes no edge-support claim.

Pros and cons, side by side

Koala

Pros

  • Flippable firmness — change your mind without sending it back
  • The 120-night trial includes free returns
  • CHOICE Recommended and ProductReview.com.au awards 2023–2025 — given to the Koala range, not to this model alone
  • All-foam build with Zero Disturbance makes it strong for couples

Cons

  • All-foam, so it runs warmer than a spring hybrid
  • Only five sizes — no Long Single or Super King
  • Three support zones where several rivals offer seven
  • At $999.20 for a Queen it sits well above budget boxed rivals

Newentor Hybrid Mattress

Pros

  • Dual-firmness zoning: softer coils under the shoulders, firmer under the lower back
  • 120-night trial and 10-year warranty both sit above the category norm
  • CertiPUR-US foams and an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 cover
  • Free Australia-wide delivery in 2–7 business days

Cons

  • Only one firmness on offer — no soft or extra-firm option
  • The maker makes no edge-support claim
  • At 25 cm it sits on the thinner side for a hybrid, so deep fitted sheets will be loose
