We do advise you though to invest in one of our Mattress Protectors; they’re made from soft, quilted cotton and really help protect your mattress from wear and tear. You can even pop them in the washing machine to freshen them up when needs be.

While the comfort of the Simba Hybrid was obvious from the first night, we did feel there was an adjustment period with this mattress, but after a couple of weeks we fell into a comfortable place with it. One of our main reviewers noted an improvement in knee pain, which had been an issue when sleeping on their previous innerspring mattress. We also strongly recommend one of our machine washable, quilted cotton Mattress Protectors to help keep your double mattress fresh and clean. 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. The Premium Hybrid is brilliantly comfortable and supportive, and it does a great job of keeping you cool throughout the night. Not only that, but we also found it to be very effective when it came to reducing motion transfer. As such, it’s a great mattress for light sleepers as well as couples who move around a lot during the night. Buying a mattress isn’t an easy task, so it’s worth doing plenty of reading before making the plunge. If you still have unanswered questions, below are a few of our guides and best buys that should help answer them:

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. 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. We did notice the cover on our review sample was a little loose and baggy on the mattress, which didn’t look so attractive, but when covered with sheets it really didn't matter. All our hybrid and foam mattresses are made here in the UK*; we’re committed to local production so that we can support local communities and reduce our carbon footprint. *The latest addition to our range, the Simba Go, will also be made here in the UK from early 2023.

Our mattresses are easy to care for; all you need to do is rotate them once a month for the first three months, and then roughly every quarter after that. You don’t need to turn them over at all.So what is perfect support? It’s about having the exactly the right balance between a top layer that compresses in response to your body, and an underlying layer that gently resists that response. Without the top comfort layer you’d feel like you were sleeping on a plank, but without the support layer you’d feel like you were sleeping on a trampoline. The small double Simba Hybrid we reviewed measured 120cm x 190cm x 25cm. As such, we expected it to be a little easier to move around than a double or king. The box measures 107cm x 50cm x 50cm, so it wasn’t cumbersome, however at 24kg in weight, if you need to get it up stairs or into a different room, you will probably need an extra pair of hands to help you. If you are looking for support, the Simba Hybrid mattress has plenty of it. However, when it comes to pressure relief the amount of comfort depends a bit more on your body weight and sleep position. Our heavier weight tester commented that they felt cushioned no matter how they slept on this mattress, with their shoulders, hips and knees feeling comfortable with no pressure.
