Koala Byron Sofa Bed

Koala’s mission was to challenge the notion that a sofa bed must compromise on style and comfort, for function. Koala set out to reimagine the sofa bed as a statement piece of furniture with a premium sleep experience. The product had to address common pain points which have made sofa beds the ugly duckling of the living room. Koala needed to overcome bulky styling, visible mechanisms, poor quality mattresses, space inefficiency and uneven sleeping surfaces of traditional sofa bed design. Ultimately, Koala wanted to create a beautiful, multifunctional and sustainable piece of furniture designed to suit modern living rooms.

The Byron revolutionises sofa bed design and comfort by integrating Koala’s unique Kloudcell® mattress technology into a sleek, foldable sleep surface. This addressed common sofa bed problems like uneven and uncomfortable mattress surfaces, bulky mechanisms and poor overall aesthetic. Through extensive foam layering and testing, Koala overcame seat height challenges, enhancing both comfort and style. In response to user feedback, Koala engineered easy-to-use stability mechanisms that support the bed securely, minimising bulk and concealing structural components. With its unique tool-free, flat-pack design, The Byron also simplifies assembly and shipping, ensuring the manufacturing process is optimised for efficiency and the environment.

This isn’t just a sofa bed. It’s a statement in style and sustainability. It’s a statement that has resonated with Koala’s audience, quickly becoming a top seller, driving the value of the brand and affinity with the Australian public. By developing and incorporating innovative techniques and materials like vacuum-compressed process to enhance transport efficiency and product longevity, 30% recycled PET fibres, 100% FSC® certified timber, and a CertiPUR-US® Certified Polyurethane foam support and comfort layer, Koala has created a product which lives up to its commitment to minimise environmental impact and deliver designer products which solve real customer needs.

The Byron Sofa Bed by Koala is designed as a statement piece for any living room, combining a reimagined sleep solution with stylish, high-quality design. The Byron’s design prioritises comfort with deep, plush seats that invite relaxation in any position – from upright sitting to full stretch-outs. While also engineered to accommodate the rigours of modern family life, with custom fabrics developed in-house and tested for durability. Hidden storage compartments, cleverly concealed in the back rest, offer practical solutions for decluttering living spaces. The Byron Sofa Bed captures the essence of Koala’s award-winning mattress technology by incorporating an integrated Kloudcell® comfort layer within its queen-sized mattress, ensuring superior support, responsiveness and durability for both sitting and sleeping. Crafted with sustainability in mind, the Bryon Sofa Bed uses 100% FSC® certified timber and recycled polyester fabrics. The cushions feature a dual-layer foam system, including a CertiPUR-US® Certified Polyurethane foam support layer and a comfort layer, both designed for long-lasting comfort. These thoughtful details not only elevate the Byron’s functional and aesthetic appeal but also highlight Koala’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The Byron Sofa Bed redefines the integration of design, comfort and sustainability in furniture, making it an outstanding addition to any home.
