Which is better for a small apartment?

The Koala. Its 3-seater footprint is 177cm × 104.5cm, while the Stonemeade runs 92 inches wide and 41 inches deep. The Koala also flips without pulling out a steel frame.

Is the Koala worth the extra $1,089?

If you sit on it daily and want washable covers, a 120-day trial and a 5-year warranty, yes. If it is a guest-room sofa used a few times a year, the Stonemeade covers the job for far less.

Which is better for heavier sleepers?

The Stonemeade, rated to 750 lb total. The Koala is rated 264 lbs per seat, so check how weight is spread across the seats.

Which is easier to clean?

The Koala. Its covers are removable, machine washable and treated to resist water and stains. The Stonemeade's polyester upholstery stays on the sofa.

Do either need assembly?

The Stonemeade arrives assembled. The Koala uses tool-free slide-and-click assembly that buyers say takes about an hour with two people.

The Koala has the longer stated backing: a 5-year warranty and no mechanical parts to fail. The Stonemeade's corner-blocked frame and reversible cushions help, but no warranty terms are stated.
