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.

The Simba Hybrid mattress provides five luxurious layers designed to fit you and help you get the quality of sleep you've been dreaming of:

  • Breathable sleep surface (500g Hypoallergenic knitted cover)
  • Open cell graphite infused Simbatex foam
  • Up to 2,500 25mm conical pocket Aerocoil™ springs, enclosed in a 100% polypropylene pocket
  • Edge to edge support foam
  • Multi zoned foam support 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.

Simba have created a mattress engineered for optimal sleep. The unique support base, along with the unique combination of conical pocket springs and memory foam, allows two people with different sleeping patterns and body types to enjoy the perfect night's sleep - without being interrupted by each other.

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.

Simbatex foam moulds expertly to your body shape. It's like a mattress tailor made for you.

The micro springs are paperclip-thin yet the titanium gives them strength to give your body the individualised support it needs without you feeling the springs.

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.

Open Cell Graphite Infused Simbatex Foam
This super comfort layer has a cooling graphite infusion that draws heat downwards (away from your body) and delivers gentle support. Delivering 30 times the airflow of regular memory foam by being highly open cell. Proven to wick away moisture and dissipate heat significantly quicker than leading visco-elastic mattresses.

Aerocoil® Springs
These micro springs help prevent overheating by increasing air circulation. They flex gently in response to you and your partner's every movement, and as they compress and extend, they gently circulate air through the comfort layer helping to keep you at the perfect temperature.

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.

Aerocoil Spring Layer
The mattress features up to 2,500 unique conical pocket springs. They individually adjust as you sleep, so you wake up with a spring in your step for the whole day.

Edge to Edge Support Foam
The Edge Lift Technology allows you to sleep anywhere on the mattress and still be supported.

Multi-Zoned Foam Base
This perfectly engineered high-density foam base has 5 comfort zones with individual grooves that ensures even distribution of weight.
