Has anyone tried an Emma Sleep Mattress? Or Koala? Ecosa?

I got a quote from Harvey Norman (urgh) for a King Koli mattress and tested it. It felt nice, but if I can avoid giving them money I will happily do so. But online ones and online reviews are hard to trust.

I've tried loads of those mattresses in a box. I can tell you that Sleeping Duck is the best of them and worth the money. Ecosa was the 2nd best.

Here's my notes on them from my notes app:

Ecosa (very good)
Koala (a little soft but good)
624 (not bhad)
Eva (meh)
Macoda (quite good)
Sleeping Duck (tres bien)
OneBed (meh)
Hugo (no bueno)
Bed in a Box/SleepFirm (too firm)

Agree. Did the same, although not quite as complete. Sleeping duck was the best we found.

Awesome! Thank you.

Many of them have a trial policy, where you can return within x days if you don’t like it. So it’s pretty low risk. It’s a different feel to a sprung mattress, which will come down to personal preference and if you have any back or body issues. I personally like the foam mattresses, have a koala one and so far it is fine. Although from what people say it seems sleeping duck ones are a bit better.

I've got a Sleeping Duck mattress and it's the best one I've ever owned. You can easily change the top foam layer from soft/medium/firm if you order a mattress that's not the right firmness for you. And you can return it for refund if it's not right for you at all (100 day trial currently). So basically no risk to you to try it out.

SD seems to be the concensus best.

Was going to recommend one I love, but the bloody thing has been discontinued. Sorry, no help at all.

haha, it's the thought that counts
