Product Information

Absolutely. All our mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee; Simba certified Refurbished mattresses include a 1-year guarantee. From the minute you place your hand on the Simba Hybrid mattress, it’s clear that this will be a comfortable snooze. But, as with any bed, your body weight and sleeping position will matter greatly when it comes to true comfort. For our testers, the most comfortable sleeping position was on the side, with pressure points feeling noticeably cushioned. Before we make a final judgement, we take any trial runs that might be on offer into account – which is often the case within the bed-in-a-box market – before asking the important question, is the product good value for money?

As mentioned, the Simba Hybrid is the original and flagship mattress in the brand's range. It's the second cheapest of the hybrid models – there's also a more budget-friendly Essential mattress, while those looking for an upgrade can opt for the seven-layer Pro or 10-layer Luxe versions (our Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress review will fill you in on that one), both designed to offer enhanced support and pressure relief.The first thing to do of course is get your tape measure out; remember your mattress will sit higher in the room once it’s on its bed frame. If you have room, our Super King Mattresses are the widest mattress we make, followed by the European Queen mattresses; they feel super-luxurious and they’re ideal if you have kids (or pets) that like to creep in for cuddles at night. But if you’re concerned about not having enough space, do have a look at our King Size Mattresses; they still feel really indulgent without taking up the entire bedroom. Alternatively, we offer a wide range of cool and comfortable Double Mattresses for you to choose from. Our most popular mattress for double beds is a standard UK double mattress, measuring 135cmW x 190cmL; we also offer a range of longer European Double Mattresses and space-efficient Small Double Mattresses. If you’d like something roomier, have a look at our King-size Mattresses or our Super King Mattresses.

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. Simba used 70 prototypes and the “body data of 10 million sleepers” to create the original Hybrid mattress. The five-layer design includes titanium coils and a layer of open-cell graphite-infused Simbatex, which is designed to be a more breathable version of memory foam.

What size is a Simba double mattress?

While the Simba Hybrid can feel a little firmer for lighter weights, the sensation of resting on top of the mattress rather than in it is still by no means uncomfortable, and the top layer conformed just the right amount to the body, which was extremely cosy. Overall, the contouring with the Simba Hybrid was good for the majority of our testers. Stomach sleeping seemed to be the least comfortable option, as the firmness doesn’t support the pressure points as well in this position. But again, this is subjective and it depends on your weight and sleeping style. 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. 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. The Simba Hybrid is a solid and affordable choice if you are after a reliable and breathable hybrid mattress, made from non-toxic materials and from a trusted brand. If you are lighter in weight it might be a little too firm, and this mattress is probably not ideal for all stomach sleepers either. But overall we really enjoyed sleeping on the Simba Hybrid and found it performed very well.
