Firmness Info
The Simba Hybrid Essential is a medium-firm mattress, however, 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.
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 Simba Hybrid Essential is 20cm deep and contains all the Simba patented sleep tech that made Simba the world's most five star reviewed mattress brand. The four layers of the Hybrid® Essential are:
  • Breathable sleep surface (500g Hypoallergenic knitted cover)
  • Open cell graphite infused Simbatex foam
  • Up to 1,500 25mm conical pocket Aerocoil™ springs, enclosed in a 100% polypropylene pocket
  • Multi zoned foam support base.
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
Each individual Aerocoil® spring flexes gently in response to you and your partner's movements, offering personalised support to each of you without disturbing the other. And as they compress and extend with you, they gently push air through the comfort layer, helping to keep you at just the right temperature.
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
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
Open Cell Graphite Infused Simbatex Foam
This layer uses an open cell foam, that allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam. On top of that, Simba have infused it with a naturally occurring mineral called graphite; that draws heat away from your body.
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
The Simba Aerocoil® microspring comfort layer
Up to 1,500 conical springs work together to distribute weight whenever they feel pressure. They are smaller and slimmer than the regular tall chunky bed springs, and because they are made of super-strong Titanium alloy (manufactured here in Leeds), this magic metal means even a micro size (25mm high with a thickness gauge of 0.9mm, which is the size of a very thin paperclip) gives you the support you need, but being so small and fine you won't feel a single one. Multi-Zoned Foam Base
With five separate support zones to make sure the base adjusts as you move, keeping your body in perfect, sleep-inducing alignment.
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
A 500g super soft, hand-knitted cover; this hypoallergenic sleep surface keeps your mattress fresh and cool. The cover is not removable or washable but you can spot clean it if you choose not to use a Simba Mattress Protector.
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.
