Which is better for a small apartment?

The Koala. Its queen sofa is 70 inches long versus 81 inches for the Pottery Barn, and it flips open without a pull-out mechanism. The Pottery Barn needs more floor space when open.

Is the Koala worth it over the Pottery Barn?

For most shoppers, yes. The Koala costs $1,790.00 versus $2,799.00 as of November 6, 2026, and adds a 120-day trial, a 5-year warranty and washable covers. Choose the Pottery Barn only if you need the longer 81-inch sofa and GREENGUARD certification.

The Pottery Barn has a wood frame and a conventional sleeper mechanism, which is a proven design but has moving parts. The Koala uses a flip design with no mechanism and backs it with a 5-year warranty. Long-term durability data for either is limited.

Can I wash the covers?

On the Koala, yes. Covers are removable and machine washable, and the fabric is water-resistant. Pottery Barn does not list machine-washable covers for this sleeper, so plan on spot cleaning or professional cleaning.

Which is better for everyday sleeping?

The Koala includes an integrated Kloudcell topper and Koala Foam built for sleeping, and buyers rate it 4.8 out of 5 across 6,373 ratings. The Pottery Barn is a queen sleeper with a standard mattress, so test it in store if it will be your main bed.

Do both come as a queen?

Yes. The Koala queen is 70 inches long and the Pottery Barn sleeper is a queen at 81 inches long. The Koala also comes in full and twin XL.
