Which is better for a couple sleeping over?

The Koala. It opens to a queen, double or single bed, while the Sabai Eclipse is a twin XL for one person.

Which is better as an everyday lounge chair?

The Sabai Eclipse. Its wide, deep seat and pillow back are built for lounging, and it only unfolds when a guest stays.

Which is easier to clean?

The Koala. Its covers are removable and machine washable. Sabai's velvet covers need a cold delicate wash and air drying.

Is the Koala worth the savings over the Sabai?

It costs $85 less and gives you a larger bed, a 120-day trial and a 5-year warranty. The Sabai's advantage is comfort as a chair, not price.

Both use FSC-certified plywood and CertiPUR-US foam. Koala backs its frame with a 5-year warranty; Sabai offers replacement parts but no stated warranty length.

Do either need a separate mattress?

No. Both have the mattress built in, with a Kloudcell topper on the Koala and high-resiliency foam over coconut fiber on the Sabai.
