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.

Douglas

How often should I rotate my mattress?

It is recommended to rotate mattresses every 4 to 6 months. This is particularly important if there is a significant weight difference between the people using the bed. Rotating a mattress involves turning it 180 degrees, effectively making the foot of the bed the head, and vice versa. This allows the mattress surface to recover from prolonged body indentations, contributing to its longevity.

Is the Douglas mattress good for back pain?

Yes, the Douglas mattress, with its medium-firm feel, is often recommended for individuals experiencing back pain. This firmness level aids in maintaining proper spinal alignment.

Is the Douglas mattress hot?

The Douglas mattress uses Tencel fabric in its cover to draw moisture away from the body, aiding in cooling. However, individuals who are prone to overheating may still find it too warm.
