Let me introduce you to the Simba Sleep Hybrid Mattress, a tantalising blend of support and comfort that I recently had the pleasure of personally testing in store. I'll tell you now, this mattress certainly warrants the attention it so frequently receives, gracing it with that sweet allure one can't help but be drawn to in the mattress world.
Instant impressions? Gosh, the beautifully sown soft-touch, stretch knit cover certainly won me over. It's lovingly designed to work in harmony with the memory foam and springs, contouring to each sleeper's body shape for that tailored, snug and comforting feel. However, I do have one little bugbear here. As much as I adored this cosy touch of luxury, I did miss that much sought-after characteristic - a removable cover for washing. Although the Zip-off top cover, machine washable at 40°C, is a bonus for those of us focused on maintaining proper mattress hygiene. A minor gripe, perhaps, but one I couldn't help but admit.
Moving on to the main components of this ingenious hybrid, its unique composition piqued my interest massively. Simply put, the Simba Hybrid mattress seems to have got the balance between support and comfort spot on. The base of the mattress, made from Zoned CertiPUR® foam, provides nine different zones of targeted, responsive support worthy of a standing ovation. Now imagine this, waking up without the infamous back or joint aches and pains - that alone scores major brownie points in my book.
The manufacturer's ingenious incorporation of temperature regulation and motion disturbance features deserves due recognition. The Simbatex® foam layer is an open-structured, graphite-infused foam designed to cleverly increase air circulation whilst keeping night time overheating at bay. Genius, right? This is coupled with 1900 Aerocoil® conical springs providing not only superior personalised body contouring pressure relief and support but also aiding to the mattress's breathability and subsequently a cooler night's sleep. Such clever application of materials, if you ask me.
The customer reviews at this point have been overwhelmingly positive. Unsurprisingly, the praise is mostly focused on the coolness and temperature regulation of the mattress, brought about by the breathability of the 1900 Aerocoil® conical springs. However, there were a few who mentioned that despite its merits, they wished the mattress was a little more on the firm side. As a mattress scientist (okay, reviewer), I do understand that the feel and tension of a mattress can be incredibly subjective. I reasoned that because of its medium firm tension, it's ideally suited for average weight side and back sleepers. Those looking for a slightly softer feel might not find their bliss here, but for most, it should serve them well. It's all about finding that sweet spot.
The Simba Hybrid mattress touts an easy care feature, requiring no turning, which is a relief for your back! Simply rotate regularly, in line with the care guide instructions, and you're good to go. Plus, no concerns about getting the mattress to your room as it's handily delivered rolled in a box. The convenience! To top it all, it comes with a free 10-year guarantee for peace of mind, a testament to its British manufacturing. Nevertheless, I raise an eyebrow of healthy scepticism at this promise, and would advise my fellow mattress enthusiasts to delve into this guarantee's specifics.
All in all, the Simba Sleep Hybrid Mattress made titanic waves in my books. Despite my few small criticisms, I can't shake off the sleep genius's superb blend of comfort, support, temperature regulation and convenience with a promising longevity. It remains intriguing, and one I would personally recommend.

Given the features, it strikes a decent balance between comfort and support. The medium firmness works well for average weight sleepers.
Purchased this mattress as our mattress before was severely affecting our sleep. Since purchasing the Simba mattress I can honestly say that our sleep has never been so good. It's just wonderful. When my husband or I move we can't feel it unlike the one before. This is down to the comfort and firmness of the mattress. Delivery was super speedy and easy. Would recommend!!
I love Simba matters, billows, duvet all are amazing finally in my life I can sleep peacefully and wake up super fresh no pain no headache I highly recommend and do buy direct from Simba and yes Simba is one of the best matters.
I bought this after feeling my old mattress was making me too hot during the night! I was sceptical at first as it felt pretty firm compared to my softer mattress, it took me about 4 days to get used to the change and now I am so glad I picked Simba! It's really supportive and I no longer feel hot throughout the night! The 200 night money back guarantee was one reason I chose to order instead of choosing another brand in store, luckily I don't need to send it back as it's been my best purchase to date
This is my second Simba purchase - delivery was straightforward and the mattress is comfortable and will last me long time, similar to the previous one who I've had for 10 years.
Took a while to adapt to the new mattress, was little firm compared to my old Simba mattress. That has gone through to replace a very old sprung mattress as plenty of life in it. Rate highly Simba
I am absolutely thrilled with my Simba mattress! From the first night, I noticed a huge difference in comfort and support. The mattress is incredibly comfortable and adaptive, molding perfectly to my body. I used to wake up with aches and pains, but those are completely gone now! The quality is outstanding, and it provides the perfect balance of softness and firmness. I wake up feeling well-rested and refreshed every morning. If you're looking for a mattress that truly improves sleep quality, I highly recommend Simba. Best purchase I've made in a long time!
I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to buying anything and I spend hours doing my research before making a final decision. I was not disappointed by my choice of a Simba Hybrid Original mattress. I desperately needed a new mattress after suffering backache due to my old mattress having a massive dip in the middle! I could not believe how much more refreshed I felt after my first night on the Simba mattress. My back problem has gone and I feel as though my overall health has improved due to me being able to sleep through the night on the comfiest mattress ever!
Very comfortable, firmness is perfect. Would definitely recommend
The best mattress I ever had, strongly recommend
Simba hybrid original mattress is okay , I had trouble with the strong chemical smell took longer than expected to dissipate , about a month. and I am still waiting for it to completely go away. Otherwise the mattress is comfortable
Super comfy & worth every penny
It might be overkill to say that our Simba mattress is life changing but it sure is life improving! We were in the fortunate position of being able to up-size to a super king and, as much as I love my husband, I also love sleeping quite far away from him. In terms of the mattress itself, it's delightfully firm yet squidgy at the same time, so we do sink nicely into it whilst still feeling super supported. It has massively reduced my various aches and pains as well, which is an unexpected bonus (I'd read that this was a thing but was pretty sceptical). The significantly reduced motion transfer versus our previous coil spring mattress is absolutely brilliant. Since our central heating system leaves much to be desired, I can flop about when I get too hot without waking up my other half, and I definitely believe that the mattress's cooling / air flow properties helps. The ordering and delivery process was straight forward and completely painless. My only temporary gripes are that, as I haven't bought a mattress cover yet, our flat sheet slides about and comes untucked which is extra daily effort (I imagine that that's fixable though) and the mattress does have a very unpleasant odour but, two weeks in, it's definitely fading. I love this mattress and have already convinced my mum to get one as well.
Very comfy, delivered on time and makes going to bed a treat!
I / we get the best most relaxing sleep on these SIMBA mattresses, and to top it all the 10 year warranty is fantastic, my most recent purchase was a warranty replacement, and I have to say the guarantee is absolutely amazing. These mattresses are super comfy and worth every penny.
So far, we've been using mattress about a week. Even in this short space of time, It's vastly improved my husband's quality of sleep. Love how comfy yet supportive it feels. Really pleased with our mattress
I am so glad I bought this mattress. I'm on my feet for 10 hours a day and my back suffers for it. I was struggling to get comfortable on my old mattress, but since getting the simba my sleep has improved so much. The only downside is the smell, it's awful and even after 4 weeks it's still quite bad, but it is getting less strong.
Very good mattress. It's my second one and i absolutely love it. Very comfortable. When I have a chance I will get one for my daughter as well. She's in love with my one and keeps asking for one for her as well. I absolutely recommend this one.
Super comfy, saved my back and shoulders!
We've had our Simba for a month now and I'm really liking it. My partner is a side sleeper and I'm a back sleeper and we find it's firm but we aren't waking up in pain like our previous mattress. We've just spun round after a month of use as instructed and like that this mattress has handles which makes it easy to spin. We tried an Emma mattress before and it was far too soft/springy feeling, this definitely feels like a foam mattress, which we like. I'm a hot sleeper and I'm not finding it uncomfortable - although it has been winter. Overall, so far so good but the proof is in the longevity so let's see!
