Firmness Info

Not too firm, not too soft… this medium firmness mattress is perfect for all sleeping positions. Rated a 5/10 on the firmness scale. If you prefer a firmer feel, see the Emma Premium.

Every eve mattress gives you medium-firm support. We've found this sweet spot suits all types of sleeping positions by keeping your spine aligned and the pressure off, so you stay wonderfully comfy all night long.

The Simbatex® Essential is a medium-firm mattress. The premium foam will gently mould and support your body, while keeping you cooler than regular memory foam mattresses.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Emma Original, designed by sleep experts, is UK's most awarded, best-selling mattress. The layers are:

  • UltraDry™ Original Cover
  • Point Elastic Airgocell® Memory Foam
  • Halo Memory Foam™
  • HRX Supreme™ Foam.

If you can't decide between memory foam or springs, we've got just the indulgent ticket… Constructed with five foam layers + pocket springs:

  • the floatfoam™ layer with active cooling
  • the memory layer with active cooling
  • the support layer
  • two foam casing layers (one each side of the springs)
  • 1500 full-size pocket springs (12 cm).

The Simbatex® Essential mattress by Simba is a budget-friendly option still featuring aspects of Simba's renowned tech, the mattress has three layers of engineered comfort:

  • Hypoallergenic knitted cover
  • Open cell graphite infused Simbatex foam
  • Zoned high density foam base.

Comfort Info

The breathable Airgocell® foam allows for optimal ventilation due to its open pores. In tandem with the cover, these layers ensures a completely pleasant sleeping climate - even on the hottest summer nights.

Feeling too hot to sleep is a thing of the past with foams that actively cool you down.

Simbatex® foam has 30x more airflow than dense, standard memory foam. It is also infused with natural graphite, which has an excellent ability to draw away excess heat.

Support Info

By combining three layers of pressure relieving foam with different structures, an optimal pressure distribution is achieved. This creates ideal conditions for a restful sleep, because only then can your body regenerate overnight.

Five layers of premium foam and one layer of 12 cm pocket springs provide your body with spine alignment and added pressure relief.

Using body profile data from ten million sleepers, Simba's sleep scientists have created a mattress designed and crafted for every sleeping style and body type.

Comfort Specs

Point Elastic Airgocell®
Is in open-pored foam that enhances airflow, evaporating moisture to enhance the life of the mattress, and keeps your body cool and dry.

To have a good night's sleep, your temperature needs to be just right. So, we've added some clever technology to actively stop things from getting too hot and stuffy underneath the covers. We've infused tiny bits of graphite into the top two foams to pull excess heat away from your body. Springs are also naturally very airy and add a boost of breathability to the mattress - so you stay comfortably cool as can be.

Cooling, Supportive Simbatex® Foam
This open cell CertiPUR® foam keeps you cooler, with 30x more airflow than standard memory foam. This layer is infused with natural graphite, which has an excellent ability to draw away excess heat.

Support Specs

Halo Memory Foam™
This memory foam perfectly adapts to your body shape for targeted spinal alignment, ultimate pressure relief and body-hugging comfort.

HRX Supreme™ Foam
Emma HRX Supreme™ Foam enhances durability by holding firm and preventing sag. There are 5 adaptive cut-outs to distribute your body weight evenly and to reduce pressure on your body.

The all-important top layer is a brand new type of foam giving you instant soothing pressure relief. Underneath three more luxurious layers of foam, you'll find the support of 1500 pocket springs. These adapt to your body's wriggles throughout the night, so your body wakes without aches.

Zoned, high density foam base
A notch-cut, high-density foam base provides zoned pressure relief to your body, with seven specific zones for the shoulders and hips and other potential problem areas.

Fabric Specs

UltraDry™ Original Cover
This top cover is temperature-regulating, breathable, moisture-wicking, removable, and washable. Made from 99% polyester and 1% elastane, this award-winning cover is both refreshing and practical.

The side cover is made of 100% polyester. The bottom cover is made of 87% polyester and 13% polypropylene.

The quilted top cover is so soft and thick, it's almost cloud-like, and has small silver strands woven into it. This fancy technique makes it antimicrobial and antibacterial, but for extra freshness, you can unzip the cover and pop it in the wash. The white top panel of the mattress is 97% polyester, 2% elastane and 1% silver.

A knitted, soft, breathable 500g cover that is hypoallergenic meaning it is suitable for allergy sufferers and free from harmful substances (it is also certified under the Oeko-tex 100 Standard). The cover is not removable or washable, however, using a mattress protector could help extend the life of your mattress.
