If your current couch is starting to show its age – worn-in cushions, stains that you don’t remember making and maybe an odd smell – then you might be overdue for a replacement. But buying a new couch is easier said than done sometimes. Finding one that fits your living arrangement, style and needs can be tricky.
For those hunting for a new couch you can chill out on after a long day at work, Koala has recently launched the Wanda. This brand-new three-seater sofa is as functional as it is chic, with hidden storage and the ability to transform into a queen-sized bed.
While you might know Koala better from its range of comfy mattresses, the furniture brand is no stranger to couches. Its Cushy Sofa Bed scored a win at the 2022 Product of the Year Awards, while the Modern Sofa was a 2024 Product Review Award winner.
With an understated, modern design, the Wanda should have no problem slipping into any living space. Its deep seats will let you sit back in comfort, upholstered with a luxe demi-bouclé fabric made from at least 30% recycled materials.
The Wanda is designed with versatility in mind. Not only can you fold out a segment to turn into a bed – or just give you more room to stretch out – but the reversible chaise will also let you set up the couch to better fit your space. The chaise also has hidden storage space, so you’ll have a handy place to hide your winter blankets or extra bedding.
To give your couch cushions a layer of protection and to make them feel like a mattress, the Wanda includes one of Koala’s plush Kloudcell toppers, which you can place over the bed. When it’s not in use, you can store the topper inside the chaise, so it’s never far from reach.
The Wanda is priced at $2,950 with free delivery, and available in four colours that evoke the tones of Australian bushland – blush sunset, paperbark, penguin parade and green wattle.
As with all of its products, if you aren’t sure about the couch, Koala offers a 120-night trial to test it out. If you decide the Wanda isn’t for you before that period ends, you can return the couch to Koala for free and receive a full refund. You can check out Koala's Wanda sofa bed here.
