As a seasoned professional within the mattress industry, Simba Sleep is a brand that's always on my radar. Being in the business of mattresses, it's hard not to be intrigued by their innovative designs and overall popularity among consumers. The recent offering that caught my eye is the Simba Sleep Hybrid Pro Mattress, boasting a myriad of impressive specifications that warrant a detailed analysis. So, like any good mattress connoisseur would, I took a trip down to our store and got stuck in hmm-ing and ahh-ing over this much-raved-about mattress. Please bear in mind though, while I did have the chance to assess this mattress in-store, it was limited to that environment and did not include a home trial, which could potentially alter my opinion.
There's a delicate balance of support and comfort radiating from the hybrid construction at the core of this piece. The Simba Sleep Hybrid Pro mattress sports a stupendous total of 3,800 dual layer Aerocoil® conical springs, offering a luxurious leap ahead of many competitors in the market. The key element of this mattress that truly enthralls me is the motion isolation capability. The conical spring structure marvellously minimises motion transfer, making it a heavenly match for those who share their bed with a partner. However, as exciting as this feature is, it had me raising an eyebrow about the mattress' overall durability - will this high spring count hold up in the long run or will it deteriorate over time? Only time would tell.
Another significant component in this mattress' architecture that deserves due credit is the Simbatex® foam layer. Weighing 25mm, it wonderfully bolsters the mattress' support system while simultaneously offering a cushiony comfort rarely found in hybrid pieces. This ultra-savvy foam comes with a graphite infusion to increase heat dissipation, ensuring sleepers stay cool even on warmer nights. Though promising, it leaves me speculating whether this technology might give off a chemical odour, as some mattresses tend to do.
There's an environmental angle to this mattress that's certainly appealing. The British wool layer is an ingenious inclusion, acting as a natural thermostat with breathable properties that expertly regulate body temperature while reducing mattress humidity. Yet, I do hold a smidgen of scepticism of it being enough to combat intense summer nights, based on reviews from customers facing such issues.
This mattress proudly strikes a medium to firm comfort choice. Quintessentially, it's ideal for back or side sleepers of average weight, providing a harmonious balance between firm support and cushy comfort. However, having personally tried it and judging from feedback we've received, side sleepers who sport an hourglass figure might find this tension a little too firm, preventing the sinkage vital for spinal alignment. So, if you fall into this category, you might have to look elsewhere.
The Stratos® cool-touch cover treatment adds an extra layer of freshness to your sleep, effectively expelling excessive heat for a cooler slumber. For laundry days, the zip-off top cover is machine washable, ensuring that it stays fresh and clean over time. However, I couldn't help but muse on how the delicate fabric might withstand numerous wash cycles. Furthermore, with the cover being non-removable, I found myself questioning how practical this would be in dealing with potential stains or spills.
Last, but in no way least, the customer reviews have been rather illuminating. Many praised this mattress for its balanced firmness and exceptional motion transfer control, which aligns with my findings from my in-store tests. Notwithstanding, some customers reported not finding the cooling features as effective as advertised, which echoes my sentiments and adds a considerable grain of salt to my overall impression of this mattress.
Ultimately, the Simba Sleep Hybrid Pro mattress is a compelling contender in the mattress market with its smart construction and distinctive features but, like all products, it's not without its potential cons. However, now that you're armed with this in-depth review, you're one step closer to making an informed buying decision. Here's to a good night’s sleep!

Definitely a comfortable option for most sleepers, plus the temperature control is pretty decent. Though it's not the best I've experienced, for the price it's a good compromise.
In overall good mattress. Perfect for one person, but for two it's feels a bit too soft. My partner is quite heavy and its not enough firm to hold the weight without sinking in. He is not complaining about this, he still have a good night sleep. I would prefer it to be more firm, maybe to have a chance to choose the firmness.
Got this mattress off the recommendation of a friend and it has not disappointed!
What can I say what a mattress really good quality Sleep on a firm mattress might be a bit on the expensive side but with the quality of Sleep so much better even for the Wife who has MS she says the best night's sleep she had since purchasing mattress would highly recommend
Changing a mattress after many years is quite a challenge! We need not have worried, the Simba mattress is so supportive and comfortable. Definitely would recommend people give it a try.
My husband was struggling with some back pain and wondered if the mattress was to blame, we decided to try the Simba Hybrid and have been amazed at how comfortable it is. No more pain!! The free pillows are also really comfortable and supportive. I was sceptical as I often struggle to find the perfect pillow but this certainly fits the bill.
So far so good. The mattress is on the firmer side, however whilst when thinking this when waking in the morning after a good night's sleep it is comfortable. After our last zip and link this super king means we can sleep across the whole mattress something my other half has already noticed and does so regularly. Really happy with the pillows, supportive and soft- a real change from our previous brick like pillows. Would I recommend, for us so far so good, let's see the lifetime we can get out of the mattress, but yes we are pleased (after 3 weeks of good sleep).
I spent alot of time researching which mattress to buy and am so happy I decided on a Simba Hybrid Pro. I chose this one after doing the quiz which is a great idea to help you decide on the best mattress for you. I also was very lucky with the offer I got which was free pillows, mattress cover and quilt. Which are absolutely superb quality. I followed the instructions for the mattress and let it expand over 24 hours. I can honestly say this is the best mattress I've ever slept on, I now wake up pain free. . . no aches and pains whatsoever. The quilt is the most cosy quilt I've ever had and the pillows are really comfy. I have suffered with neck & back pain for years and now it's no more. In addition ordering online is so easy and delivery was quick and smooth. You also have the added option to pay and have your old mattress taken away for recycling. Honestly can't recomend Simba mattresses enough. I've been telling all my friends about them!
Now sleeping better plus constant neck and shoulder pain has gone. The mattress is much easier to rotate than our previous mattress.
I am a tricky customer when it comes to mattresses, I was concerned that the Simba would be too firm for me, especially combined with a new wooden bed base which I recently replaced my divan with. I needn't have worried, within one night I was reassured I made the right choice and have been sleeping deeper and better than ever.
We used to have the Hybrid mattress but upgraded to the Pro one. Best decision ever made! We are sleeping like a baby.
Lovely mattress and great customer experience with very fast delivery. The complementary pillows could be improved, as they're a bit too high for both of us. Also, we find the duvet too thick for year-round use as even with the cooling side down we find it too hot to sleep in (and it's not summer yet)
comfortable
Best mattress I've ever had i previously has the simba hybrid and the pro version is sooo much better. I feel I sleep alot more peaceful and finally able to get a full night's rest
We are very happy with the comfort of this matress, the delivery was quick we highly recommend
The mattress fits our bed perfectly and was incredibly comfortable to sleep on from evening one, we had decided on a new mattress due to my husbands neck and shoulder issues and they have eased considerably using this mattress.
All in all a good mattress. Has definitley helped with back pain but then any good mattress in this price range should be expected to do that. It feels very well constructed and didn't smell too badly of plastic when first arrived (as some report) I received a free duvet and 2 pillows with my purchase and they are both superb! Considering buying a soft comfort topper to make it perfect as it is quite firm.
Brilliant mattress. Can't recommend highly enough. It has brought joy to my life.
Honestly it's worth the money, buy the duvet as well and you'll sleep like in a 5 star hotel every night!
This is a very comfy mattress, happy with quality so far but only had this two weeks, for the price I'm expecting a quality of longevity which will earn 5 stars once achieved. I think the cost for mattress removal is excessive considering price being paid.
Specifications without the jargon, easy to understand and digest.
This 100% UK made product is the perfect choice for a home with a sense of individuality. Sleep in comfort with the knowledge that you'll waking up refreshed and ready for another day.
