Firmness Info

The Simbatex Essential mattress is rated as 'medium-firm', offering gentle molding and support to the body. Its premium foam provides 30x more airflow than standard memory foam, enhancing comfort.

The Simba Hybrid Pro is medium-firm in feel, however, because of the dual spring layers and wool layer the Pro provides a slightly softer, plusher, more luxurious feel than the Hybrid. 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.

Comfort
Cooling, supportive simbatex® layer: Open cell, graphite-infused Simbatex® foam keeps you cooler, with 30x the airflow of standard memory foam.
Added springs and layers provide a plusher, more luxurious feel, even better heat regulation and ultimately an even more comfy night's sleep. Meaning there's now a Simba for a wider range of needs and budgets. An even thicker knitted cover increases the comfort without compromising airflow. Wool is naturally temperature regulating and moisture wicking and a dream for hot sleepers. Whatever the season you can rest cool and rest easy. Open cell Simbatex foam is infused with graphite for enhanced cooling. The conical design of the springs means they are cone-shaped and allow for greater airflow between the springs.
Support
Zoned, high-density foam base: A crenelated, high-density foam base offers zoned support, providing extra pressure relief to the shoulders and lower lumbar area.
More miQro® springs mean greater airflow and better body weight distribution. Plush, lush, gravity-defying comfort. Up to 2,500 additional miQro® springs mean greater airflow and better body weight distribution. These 25mm conical pocket miQro springs are made with 100% British steel, manufactured in Leeds and are enclosed in a 100% polyester pocket. High definition foam with edge support means you won't get that feeling of rolling or falling off the bed when sleeping or sitting on the border. A zoned support base provides different levels of support to different areas of your body to reduce pressure points.
