Product Information

There’s no need to turn your double mattress over to prolong its life; just rotate it head to foot once a month for the first three months, then every quarter after that. The result? You can rest assured our range of Refurbished Mattresses will give you the full Simba experience, at a fraction of the price. After four weeks of sleeping on the Simba Hybrid we noticed the height of the mattress had reduced a little where our heavier tester slept. However, Simba does advise rotating the mattress once a month for the first three months, so we will keep an eye on this. (For more guidance, read our feature answering how often should you rotate your mattress?)

Without sounding too obvious, we test our mattresses by sleeping on them. While it seems like a cushy job, there are a variety of factors we take into consideration. With the inclusion of comfort and support, we focus on firmness and temperature control – though, when necessary, we will also pay attention to motion isolation and edge support. When compared to the competition, which we would class as the Nectar Hybrid, the Eve Premium Hybrid and the Emma Premium, among others, Simba’s RRPs are slightly cheaper. That said, depending on the mattress sales that are live at any one time, Nectar, Simba and Emma can often undercut. As we explain in our feature answering what is a hybrid mattress, this type of mattress has multiple layers to boost sleep comfort. Here there are five layers of the Simba Hybrid each offer qualities that combine to provide overall comfort and cooling. The top layer is the breathable surface, followed by a layer of open-cell graphite infused Simbatex foam for temperature control. The hot sleepers on our review panel found it effective. The best memory foam mattresses work hard on cooling, as foam is notorious for trapping heat, so we’re pleased to see Simba focus here.Woken up by a fidgety partner? Too hot to sleep? All our double mattresses are engineered to keep you cool, comfortable and of course perfectly supported, whatever your sleeping style. Simba used 70 prototypes and the “body data of 10 million sleepers” to create the original Hybrid mattress. The five-layer design includes titanium coils and a layer of open-cell graphite-infused Simbatex, which is designed to be a more breathable version of memory foam. We tested the Simba Hybrid in a small double size for four weeks before writing our review. We focused on performance, rating it on pressure relief, motion isolation, temperature regulation, edge support and durability, as well as ease of set-up. The foundation on which your mattress lies – whether it’s a divan base, sprung slatted bed or even the floor – will play its part in how a mattress feels beneath you. And although we can’t regularly test multiple bed bases when reviewing a mattress, we will always take this into account.

Most of our mattresses are available in standard UK and European sizes (please note that mattress depth varies depending on the model you choose): Yes. All Simba mattresses are 100% recyclable, so there’s no need for any Simba mattress to go to landfill at the end of its life. In fact for a small fee we offer a removal service for your old mattress whenever you buy a new one from Simba; whatever the brand or size, we’ll make sure it’s properly and responsibly recycled.As mentioned, the Simba Hybrid is the original and flagship mattress in the brand's range. It's the second cheapest of the hybrid models – there's also a more budget-friendly Essential mattress, while those looking for an upgrade can opt for the seven-layer Pro or 10-layer Luxe versions (our Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress review will fill you in on that one), both designed to offer enhanced support and pressure relief. During our review period, our lead reviewer found the Simba Hybrid mattress was comfortable from the first night, especially for side sleeping, although a couple of stomach sleepers on our testing panel found the mattress too firm. The Simba felt breathable, and the motion isolation was also very good – the co-sleepers on our testing panel weren't disturbed by each other getting in and out of bed. After this comes the Aerocoil spring comfort layer, where up to 2,500 conical springs isolate motion and distribute weight evenly across the Simba Hybrid. Below the coil layer is CertiPUR-certified toxin-free Simba-Pure foam to keep you supported no matter where you sleep on the Simba Hybrid. There’s a helping of Edge Lift Technology here too, so you won’t feel as though you’re falling out of bed if you sleep right up to the edge. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ We don’t want any of our mattresses to end up in landfill.
