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.

Choose a mattress perfectly suited to your personal preference and comfort needs. The Perla mattress is made to order in your preference of firmness: Soft feel (3/10 firmness) The soft mattress is supportive, but with extra levels of cozyness. Recommended for side sleepers, and those with a smaller build or weight. Medium feel (5/10 firmness) The perfect balance of support and sink, combining softness and resistance to give outrageous levels of comfort. Recommended for back and side sleepers and those who change positions throughout the night. Firm feel (7/10 firmness) Less springy, but more supportive. Recommended for front sleepers, average to heavier body frames, and people with back problems.

Comfort
Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed).
The Perla mattress features lavish quantities of the finest natural materials. Silk, cashmere with blended alpaca, bamboo and lamb’s wool, give a deeply sumptuous sleep.
Support
You’ll find up to 1,500 of these ingenious springs nestling in our essential mattresses; 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.
Our signature Brook + Wilde ‘wave technology’ has been re-invented and enhanced. Zone-profiled specialist lumbar support foam sections have been introduced to ease your joints and alleviate pressure in all the right places.
