FAQs

Simba 5000

How thick is the Simba 5000?

The Simba 5000 Pro Flex mattress boasts a luxurious depth of 14 inches, spread across seven layers, making it Simba's deepest mattress yet.

Do I need to use a mattress protector?

While it's not compulsory to use a mattress protector with the Simba 5000, it's recommended if you want to keep your mattress in pristine condition.

How do I set up my new Simba 5000?

Setting up your new Simba 5000 mattress is straightforward. Simply unbox it, unroll it on your bed base, and carefully cut the plastic to break the vacuum seal. Remove all packaging and let your mattress expand. It's safe to use within 3-6 hours, but it may take up to 72 hours to fully expand.

Casper Nova Hybrid

Is Casper Nova too soft?

The Casper Nova may be perceived as overly soft by heavier sleepers. This is because the more weight applied to a bed, the softer it feels, and the Casper Nova is already a soft bed. However, if you prefer a softer bed, the Casper Nova should provide comfort.

Is Casper Nova good for back pain?

The Casper Nova is excellent at promoting healthy spinal alignment for lightweight sleepers in all positions and average-weight sleepers who sleep on their sides or backs. The zoned support foam and pocketed coils provide pressure relief and firmness in the necessary areas, helping to alleviate back pain for these sleepers.

Does Casper Nova Hybrid come in a box?

Yes, the Casper Nova Hybrid is a bed-in-a-box model, meaning it will be delivered compressed and rolled in a box.
