Below you will find our full and in-depth Simba Hybrid mattress review. Simba has brought out a mattress that harnesses the comfort of foam and the dynamics of conical pocket springs.
The Simba Hybrid mattress is one of the first to roll into the online mattress market in the UK and have built a strong and trusting reputation as an online mattress company.
Scroll down for the Simba Hybrid mattress review (SUMMARY AT THE END).
Simba Hybrid Mattress Construction
The Simba Hybrid mattress as its name suggests combines the comfortability of foams as well as the bounce of conical pocket springs. The mattress includes a top layer of synthetic latex, a layer of conical pocket springs, memory foam and a base poly foam. This is all wrapped up in a cover which has been recently modified to give it a more modern look and break away from the industry standard of just grey and white.
The mattress is proudly produced here in the UK without any harmful chemicals and is even hypoallergenic, this term is used to describe textiles that cause or are claimed to cause fewer allergic reactions.
What’s also worth noting is that Simba’s manufacturer is a national bed federation approved member. A major role of the NBF is that of education of both the trade and consumers. You can find out more information here.
Cover
Simba received a lot of feedback from customers who asked for an easy way to wash their mattress cover. So Simba re-engineered their cover to make it machine washable yet still keeping its core qualities (breathable and super soft).
The top cover (white half) is now machine washable at up to 40 degrees Celsius. The new cover is from 100% polyester to give it a stretchy feel which makes taking it off and putting on easier. The cover does not include handles. Which is not a deal breaker as mattresses are not exactly meant to be moved around a lot. If you need a mattress with handles have a look at our Brook and Wilde mattress review page.
Aesthetically, it is very simple yet modern, what stands out is the neat blue zipper which is a nice addition.
Simba Mattress Layers
1. Top Comfort Layer (4cm)
This is Simba’s own trademarked Simbatex® layer. It is 100% synthetic latex this is ideal as a top layer. Synthetic latex is very soft to the touch and allows for air circulation. This is a premium product if compared to other polyfoams which are widely used in this industry.
The natural cooling soybean balms also make this the perfect top layer. Synthetic latex should not be confused with natural latex. You will not receive any allergies if you are prone to allergic reactions from natural latex. But to be sure, consult with your doctor first.
2. Conical Pocket Spring Layer (2cm)
The positioning of this layer beneath the top comfort layer is well planned. The springs provide bounce and responsiveness to the sleeper as well as balancing out pressure disparities. The coils are enclosed in polyester pockets to keep them always facing upright and to protect the surrounding foams.
The springs are conical means they have a cone-like shape and allow the spring to collapse to a height of the actual wire. Which is very important as the layer is not that thick. A king size mattress will have about 2,500 unique conical pocket springs.
3. Memory Foam Layer (3,5cm)
This memory foam layer acts as a transition layer between the foundation and the springs. Visco-elastic memory foam has a
4. Base Foam (15,5cm)
This is the foundation of the Simba hybrid mattress. The supportive base layer is from high-density polyurethane foam. This layer has 7 different zones for support. These areas have grooves cut out to allow for more give in areas such as the hips and shoulders (also known as castellated). This ensures correct spinal alignment. The grooves also help with airflow and hygiene.
How Thick Is the Simba Mattress?
The Simba hybrid mattress has a total depth of 25 cm, rest assured your current bed sheets will work perfectly here. The mattress can also hold up to 18 stone or 114kg per person.
Simba Hybrid Mattress Firmness
We score it a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. By creating a medium feel mattress Simba hoped to meet most of the sleeper
The combination of the Simbatex top layer and the base layer gives the mattress a comfortable and responsive feel. Yet still supportive enough to balance out your body weight evenly.
Mattress Design
The Simba hybrid mattress has a simple yet modern design. There does seem to be a trend with this colour combination across the online mattresses sold in the UK. Yet, Simba’s lighter baby blue does bring a more energetic vibe.
