What is the difference between the Koala Sofa Bed 4th Gen and 3rd Gen?Updated 2 hours ago

The 4th Gen offers a step up in both style and comfort. 

It’s available in two new exclusive Koala-only fabrics, including five brand new colours, while the 3rd Gen offers a range of classic Koala colours. 

The upgraded seat is now 11% deeper at 60cm, so you can stretch out and really sink in, compared to the compact 54cm 3rd Gen seat. The 4th Gen also features multi-layer seat comfort with a plush pillow-top layer, zoned backrest, front edge support, and a sturdy support base.

Covers on the 4th Gen are fully removable, washable, and even upgradable thanks to a quick-slip lining - while the 3rd Gen’s covers and topper are fixed and spot-clean only. Both the Lifestyle and Luxe 4th Gen fabrics are water resistant, something you won’t find on the 3rd Gen.

The ottoman is also more versatile - flipping from cushion top to a handy wooden side table - whereas the 3rd Gen ottoman simply matches the sofa fabric.

Size-wise, the 4th Gen has a slightly greater overall depth (105cm vs 99cm) and taller backrest (85cm vs 81cm), with widths of 178cm (Queen), 152cm (Double) and 117cm (Single). The sofa bed’s total depth when open is also larger at 224cm versus 215cm for the 3rd Gen.

The 4th Gen starts at $2,390 — a $400 increase over the 3rd Gen’s $1,990 - reflecting its enhanced comfort and easy care fabrics.
