Firmness Info
The Nectar Essential Hybrid is a medium-firm mattress. With a 365-night trial, you can sleep on the mattress in the comfort of your own bedroom in both chilly winter nights and hot sticky summer nights before making a decision on whether you wish to keep it or get a refund.
The Simba Hybrid Pro is medium-firm in feel, however, because of the dual spring layers and wool layer the Pro provides a slightly softer, plusher, more luxurious feel than the Hybrid. 95% of Simba sleepers love their mattress. If it doesn't work for you, Simba mattresses that are returned are either refurbished or recycled; they never go near a landfill site.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The Nectar Essential Hybrid has six layers designed to offer more responsive support. The layers are:
  • Quilted Cooling Cover
  • Pressure Relieving Memory Foam
  • Dynamic Support layer
  • Encapsulated Springs
  • Supportive Base
  • Positioning Base Material.
The Simba Hybrid Pro has seven layers, up to 5,000 springs (original up to 2,500 springs), an additional natural wool top layer and the softest sleep surface ever. The seven layers are:
  • Super soft, breathable sleep surface (500g Hypoallergenic knitted cover)
  • Natural British wool layer
  • Open cell graphite infused Simbatex foam
  • Two layers with up to 5,000 25mm conical pocket Aerocoil™ springs, enclosed in a 100% polypropylene pocket
  • Edge to edge support foam
  • Multi zoned foam support base.
Comfort Info
Six layers of life-changing comfort that minimise motion transfer so you can sleep without interruption and air flow that works to keep you cool. Free from nasties like heavy metals, harmful dyes, or ozone depleting chemicals.
Added springs and layers provide a plusher, more luxurious feel, even better heat regulation and ultimately an even more comfy night's sleep. Meaning there's now a Simba for a wider range of needs and budgets. Two layers of springs means absolutely no sleep disturbance when your partner shifts and turns.
Support Info
The Essential Hybrid is a 25cm thick deep sprung hybrid mattress, designed to offer more responsive support. Combining memory foam and 2 layers of premium foam, you'll get a hybrid experience like no other!
More Aerocoil® springs means even better body weight distribution for that plush, lush, gravity-defying comfort.
Comfort Specs
Dynamic Support layer
Breathable open-cell foam that enhances air flow, regulating your body temperature. Encapsulated Springs
The springs are individually wrapped, allowing air to move freely and making the mattress more breathable.
Natural British Wool Layer
Wool is hypoallergenic, naturally temperature regulating and moisture wicking and a dream for hot sleepers. Whatever the season you can rest cooler in winter and warmer in summer. Open Cell Graphite Infused Simbatex Foam
This foam is infused with graphite, a natural mineral which draws heat away from the body for enhanced cooling. Furthermore, the open-cell nature of this Simbatex foam allows thirty times the airflow of viscoelastic memory foam. Aerocoil® Springs
The conical design of the springs means they are cone-shaped and allow for greater airflow between the springs. The Pro has two layers of these micro springs which means twice the airflow!
Support Specs
Pressure Relieving Memory Foam
This memory foam layer is custom designed to provide comfort and support where your body needs it most. Encapsulated Springs
The spring unit is made of up to 600 individually wrapped, 15cm high gauge steel springs for added bounce, then the whole unit is encapsulated in support foam, to provide a whole nights comfort from the middle to the edge. Supportive Base
This layer works with the springs above to give you support. Positioning Base Material
This keeps your mattress in place so that it won't move around on your bed frame.
Aerocoil Spring Layers
The Pro has a double layer of springs, with up to 5,000 titanium Aerocoil® springs in total. This double serving means full and total body support. The top layer provides initial soft comfort and the second layer gives more gradual support. These two layers of 25mm conical pocket springs are made with titanium alloy, manufactured in Leeds and are enclosed in a 100% polypropylene pocket. Edge to Edge Support Foam
The Edge Lift Technology or high definition foam with edge support means you won't get that feeling of rolling or falling off the bed when sleeping or sitting on the border. Multi-Zoned Foam Base
A zoned support base provides different levels of support to different areas of your body to reduce pressure points. These nine customised zones adjust as you move, helping to keep your spine in perfect alignment.
Fabric Specs
The quilted polyester cooling cover draws heat away from your body and circulates fresh air as you move in the night.
The Hybrid Pro has a super soft and breathable sleep surface thanks to the 500gsm hypoallergenic hand-knitted cover. The top cover is removable and washable at 40°C on a reduced spin cycle, however, the grey base fabric is recommend to be cleaned with a soft, damp and clean cloth using small circular motions. Using a mattress protector could help extend the life of your mattress. The mattress has up to four convenient handles allowing you to rotate or move your mattress with ease.
