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® Foam is a medium-firm mattress, however, if you decide your Simba Mattress is not for you, simply contact Simba and they'll arrange collection and refund the cost of your mattress.

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® Foam mattress by Simba is luxuriously deep (at 25cm) and has four layers of cooling, supportive sleep tech:
  • Anti-allergenic removable knitted cover
  • Open cell graphite infused Simbatex foam
  • Simba-Response foam
  • 7 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.
Simbatex® foam has an open cell structure which offers superior support and elasticity.
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, Cushioning Simbatex® Foam
A soft CertiPUR® foam, providing superior elasticity and 30x more airflow than memory foam. Infused with heat absorbing graphite for extra heat control. Simba-Response Foam
A firmer, open cell foam maintains airflow thanks to a less dense structure.
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.
Supportive Simba-Response Foam
A firmer foam that offers excellent support. Zoned, high density foam base
A notch-cut, high-density foam base provides zoned pressure relief to your body, with 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 zipped, breathable cover, free from harmful substances (Oeko-tex 100 Standard) and suitable for allergy sufferers. This 500g hypoallergenic knitted top cover is removable and washable (washing instructions are included with the mattress) or combine with Simba's mattress protector for added protection.
