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.

The Lite mattress is best suited for back and stomach sleepers, who enjoy a firm sleep surface as it's about an 8 on the firmness scale. The design of the mattress provides a subtle hint of body contouring, which in turn offers comfort and pressure relief while sleeping. The Noa Lite is the firmest of the Noa mattresses, the Noa mattress is a medium-firm feel and the Noa Luxe falls inbetween both.

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).
Adaptive transition foam provides outstanding motion isolation to localise your sleeping partner's movements so you sleep better. Gel infused cooling memory foam wicks away heat away to keep you cool throughout the night. Individually pocketed springs are encased in a highly permeable mesh material that optimises airflow and enhances breathability.
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.
A high-density encases the springs, this perimeter edge support allows you to sleep edge-to-edge on the mattress without feeling like you'll fall off and sit on the edge without feeling the springs. Hand-tufting helps minimise body impressions with use over time and prevents the cover wrinkling, all while securing the comfort and support layers in place. Premium, cooling gel memory foam provides deep pressure relief, contouring and cushions your body where it needs it the most. The base layer is made of highly responsive and supportive pocket springs that provide a subtle bounce and minimise motion transfer. Made of thick-gauge steel, these springs offer phenomonal durability.
