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.

Every eve mattress gives you medium-firm support. This is suited to all sleeping positions and keeps your spine aligned and the pressure off so you'll stay comfortable all night long. Side sleepers benefit from a touch of softness to cushion shoulders and hips. The foam in the original hybrid mattress is great for this, because it gently contours to your body. The added zoning also helps with pressure relief. Sleeping on your stomach can put pressure on your back. The original hybrid mattress, which sits on the medium-firm end of the scale, is ideal as it helps to keep the spine aligned. Like front sleepers, back sleepers need support for their lower back. The medium-firm feel of the original hybrid mattress helps with alignment, whilst the evecomfort® foam stops your hips sinking in too far.

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).
Evecomfort foam is 30 times more breathable than the traditional stuff. Springs are also great for keeping things comfortably cool. Get ready to sleep through your partner's tossing and turning, with memory foam that isolates movement. The evecomfort foam is more breathable than traditional memory foam. Full sized springs ensure a cool circulation of air.
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.
Up to 800, 12 cm full sized springs are used to give all sleepers the support they need for a comfortable snooze. The evecomfort foam top layer lightly cushions and gently contours to your body. The memory layer provides a snug softness and keeps the pressure off. Some say it's like a surprisingly supportive cloud. Zoned full sized springs individually respond to your body's movements and relieve the pressure in your shoulders and hips. These pocket springs are protected by two foam layers (above and below) that gives the mattress some extra side support, so you don't get that "rolling off" sensation at the edge.
