Today, I'm exhilarated to share my insights on the enthralling Simba Sleep Earth Source Mattress. Renowned for its ingenious fusion of wholesome natural materials and innovate mattress technology, this mattress certainly piqued my interest during our in-store testing sessions. Simba Sleep, a household name in the mattress industry, flaunts the artistry in this creation by prioritizing our comfort and support needs above all.
Design & Comfort
The Earth Source Mattress stood out with its thoughtful integration of British wool, giving it naturally impressive breathability, support, and durability. Admiring its fabric, I found myself imagining the warming touch in winter nights and pleasingly chilled sensation in hot summer nights. This mattress offers a delightful all-season sleep solution which is something I personally found very appealing. However, do not be mistaken, the enhancing layers of wool don't stop at comfort. An additional layer of British Wool fortifies the mattress’s stability, enhances breathability, and proffers additional support.
Highly traceable and naturally sustainable, the Hampshire wool layers uncloaked an innovative approach to nighttime temperature regulation. The breathable wool fibres work diligently to maintain an ideal body temperature during your slumber. It reduces humidity and simultaneously bolsters a durable support system. However, I was left slightly skeptical. Setting romanticism aside, wool, as luxurious and comfortable as it may be, is a notorious heat trap. This aspect may feel abrasive for hot sleepers or those with a penchant for a cooler sleeping environment.
Body Support & Motion Transfer
Leaning towards the firmer end of the spectrum, The Simba Earth Source Mattress is abundant in aptly engineered 1900 Aerocoil® conical springs, creating a pressure relief system that moulds and adjusts to your body's contours throughout the night. I particularly admired how these springs played a dual role as they also helped reducing motion transfer and partner disturbance, which is something a lot of us can have issues with.
However, from my years of experience, the coil system in the Simba Earth Source mattress, although innovative, might not be the best option for those with pronounced body curves or substantially higher body weight. The pressure relief might not be abundant, and a comfort compromise may be necessary. That being said, a plus point was the springs' airflow trait which promises a cooler sleep. Ingenious, given wool's warmer nature.
Deep-diving into Details
Housing a CoreMAX™ Sprung Base with 1000 zoned pocket springs, the mattress is designed to focus on seven key support zones. The idea is to nudge the balance between comfort and support in the direction of support for the more weight-bearing areas of your body. It aims to optimize spinal alignment and give your pressure points the relief they crave. Additionally, the optimised sleep surface gives you the freedom to enjoy the entirety of the mattress – edge-to-edge.
I did have my qualms about the effectiveness of the zoned pocket springs. From my testing experience, it seemed that the zoning technique could echo a noticeable inconsistency for sleepers who move a lot during sleep, causing your slumber to transition from one firmness level to another.
Wrapping up and Maintenance
A plant-derived viscose damask cover encapsulates the intricate aerocoil structure for a smooth, breathable, and durable sleep experience. The cover was soft to the touch, creating a very inviting sleep surface. Yet, I was met with a slight disappointment as the cover is not removable for washing. I suggest potential buyers to invest in a sturdy and breathable mattress protector to prolong the lifespan of this mattress.
Bearing in mind proper mattress care, the Earth Source mattress from Simba Sleep is no-turn, requiring merely a straightforward rotation regularity as per the care guide instructions. This is quite a relief for those who find flipping mattresses troublesome. However, for optimal longevity and performance, I recommend airing your mattress out frequently and resetting it to its natural form every once in a while.
Final Verdict
The Simba Earth Source Mattress has to be given credit for ensuring high-quality sleep and making a conscientious effort to offer comfort in every season. The medium-firm support makes it an idyllic choice for back and side sleepers, offering substantial support for the spine. However, side sleepers with an hourglass body shape might want to seek out something softer for more sinkage.
This mattress might not be the best option for those who prefer minimalist sleep products or who have fluctuating weight. That being said, considering its reputable traceability, robust breathability, sublime firmness, and durability, I would recommend the Simba Earth Source Mattress to those seeking a sleep setup that is charmingly wrapped in traditional comfort but is not afraid to step into innovative territories.
