Koala Wanda sofa bed review verdict
Our verdict: 9.8/10
Why we rated it a 9.8/10: style, quality, speed, comfort
Pros:
- Delivery to door in under 48hrs (metro areas)
- Easy tool-free assembly in under an hour
- Reversible chaise orientation on the left or right side
- Easy two-step pull-out transforms sofa into a bed in under 30 seconds
- Generous under-storage space for mattress toppers and bedding
- Oh so comfortable spacious queen-sized bed
- High-quality mechanisms and fabric material
- The stylish classic design comes in 4x on-trend colours
Cons:
- These are very heavy pieces, and two people are required to cart them inside from the front door. But if you are home when they arrive the delivery service will drop the boxes in the room you plan to assemble it in
- Lots of soft plastic left over from the packaging, with no obvious way to recycle it. I had to call and pay for a soft plastics recycling service to take away the plastic and dispose of it responsibly
Results from our Koala Wanda sofa bed road test
In the world of interior design, functionality often takes a backseat to aesthetics. But what if I told you there’s a game-changer that combines both? Enter the Koala Wanda sofa bed, the ultimate solution for space-savvy urbanites and design enthusiasts alike.
As I unwrapped the packaging, I was sceptical – would this sleek, Scandinavian-inspired design really live up to its promises?
The answer, resoundingly, is yes. Koala Wanda redefines the sofa bed paradigm – a masterclass in design, functionality, and effortless elegance.
Let’s start with assembly, notoriously the bane of flat-pack furniture, which proved a breeze. With tool-free construction and intuitive instructions, I had Wanda up and running in under an hour. No Allen key-induced angst or DIY dread here, the modular components slide and interlock seamlessly.
Visually, Wanda is a stunner. Clean lines, subtle curves, and plush, velvety upholstery (available in a range of on-trend hues) create a sophisticated silhouette that effortlessly anchors any room. Whether you’re a fan of minimalist chic or bohemian eclecticism, Wanda adapts seamlessly.
But the true genius lies in its versatility. With a simple switch, the chaise longue can be reconfigured to either side, accommodating changing layouts, room orientation or lifestyles.
This adaptability extends to its sleeping function. The Wanda sofa bed transforms into a spacious, and oh so comfortable queen sized bed, perfect for overnight guests or post-dinner reclining. No cumbersome mechanisms or awkward conversions required – with two simple manoeuvres it makes an effortless transition from sofa to slumber.
Koala Wanda’s clever design addresses the problem of small-space living. By combining a stylish sofa and spacious bed in one, it liberates valuable square footage for other essentials.
In an era where versatility and practicality reign supreme, Koala Wanda is the ultimate sofa bed for the modern home. Easy assembly, stunning aesthetics, and chameleon-like adaptability make it an indispensable addition to any living space.
Worth every penny for those seeking style, substance, and stress-free assembly.

Is it okay to sleep on a sofa bed every night?
Sleeping on a sofa bed every night is okay if the sofa bed is designed for daily use and offers adequate support and comfort.

We believe the Koala Wands sofa bed is designed for this and is fine to sleep on regularly.
