Which is better for a small apartment?

The Cushie fits tighter spaces at 60.5 inches wide and 40 inches deep. The Koala's 3-seater is about 70 inches wide and 224 cm deep when open, so measure your room first.

Which is more comfortable to sleep on?

The Cushie uses a 9-inch memory foam mattress with pocket springs. The Koala uses Koala Foam with an integrated Kloudcell topper. Both are built for real sleeping, but the Koala has far more ratings backing its comfort.

Is the Koala worth the extra $845?

If you want a 120-day trial, a 5-year warranty and a deeper seat, yes. If budget and floor space matter more, the Cushie covers the basics for less.

The Koala backs its FSC-certified poplar plywood frame with a 5-year warranty. The Cushie lists no warranty, so its lifespan is less certain.

Can I wash the covers on both?

Yes. Both have removable, machine-washable covers. The Koala's are also water-resistant and stain-resistant.

How many people can sit on each?

The Cushie is a two-seater at 60.5 inches wide. The Koala 3-seater is about 70 inches wide and supports up to 264 lbs per seat.
