This guide will walk you through the Simba Hybrid Original, Pro and Luxe, helping you decide which Simba mattress is best suited to your sleep style and lifestyle.

Simba Hybrid Original (££)

The Simba Hybrid Original is a medium-firm mattress designed for a wide range of sleepers, offering a perfect balance of comfort and support. At 25 cm deep, it features 1900 Aerocoil® titanium alloy micro springs that gently contour to your body, improve airflow and limit motion transfer for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Built with five carefully designed layers, it starts with a soft, breathable knitted cover that can be removed and washed for easy care. Beneath this, Simbatex® foam (graphite-infused open structure foam) adds cushioning and elasticity while helping to disperse heat. The Aerocoil® spring layer delivers responsive support, followed by a stabilising foam core for structure and airflow. At the base, zoned CertiPUR® foam offers nine targeted support zones for hips and shoulders. For added convenience, the Hybrid Original is fitted with four sturdy handles, making it easier to move or rotate the mattress when needed. 

Who it’s best for: Side and back sleepers looking for medium-firm support, a cooler night’s sleep, and a versatile mattress suitable for most bedrooms.

Simba Hybrid Pro (££)

The Simba Hybrid Pro is a medium-firm mattress with a 28 cm depth, offering enhanced comfort and support for a restful night. Its standout feature is the double layer of 4800 Aerocoil® titanium alloy springs, which adapt individually to your body for precise support at pressure points like hips and shoulders. The springs’ unique conical design limits motion transfer, so your partner won’t be disturbed.

Above the springs, a breathable zip-off cover, British wool layer, and fresh Simbatex® foam work together to maintain airflow, regulate temperature, and provide cushioning where you need it most. The stabilising foam core adds structure, while the SupportCore™ sprung base combines 1000 pocketed barrel springs with high-density CertiPUR® foam for edge-to-edge support and overall stability. The eight handles provided in this mattress (except on single and small double sizes) make repositioning simple.

Who it’s best for: Couples or restless sleepers who want targeted support, medium-firm comfort and a cooler, more personalised sleep experience.

Simba Hybrid Luxe (£££)

The Simba Hybrid Luxe offers a medium-firm to plush feel with a 31 cm depth, designed for a luxurious and supportive night’s sleep. Its key feature is a triple-layered spring system: two layers of Aerocoil® springs and a micro spring layer. Together, these 3800 upper springs contour precisely to your body, relieve pressure, and reduce motion transfer, while the 900 high-carbon steel micro springs add extra support and encourage airflow.

The mattress includes a soft, breathable zip-off cover and a bamboo-infused British wool layer that wicks moisture for added comfort. Fresh Simbatex® foam provides cushioning and elasticity, and a stabilising core ensures structural support and airflow. At the base, the SupportCore™ sprung system with 1000 pocketed springs and high-density CertiPUR® foam delivers firm, edge-to-edge support. The four handles provided in this mattress (or eight on Super King sizes) make moving the mattress easier.

Who it’s best for: Sleepers seeking a luxurious feel with medium-firm to plush support, excellent airflow and superior pressure relief for a tailored sleep experience.

Care and Maintenance of Your Simba Mattress

A Simba mattress is designed to provide comfortable support for 7 to 10 years, depending on usage, care and the specific model. With a few simple steps, you can help extend the lifespan of your mattress and keep it feeling fresh and supportive.

1. Use the Right Base: Ensure your mattress sits on a suitable bed base, such as a slatted or platform base with no wide gaps. This not only supports the mattress properly but also prevents sagging over time.
2. Use a Mattress Protector: Using a mattress protector is highly recommended to guard against spills, stains and allergens, while also reducing sensitivity to the ‘new mattress smell’ that naturally fades after a few days.
3. Regular Rotation: You don’t need to flip a Simba mattress, but rotating it is essential for even wear and warranty compliance. Rotate 180 degrees once a month for the first three months, and then every three to six months afterwards. The sturdy mattress handles make this easy to do.
4. Airing and Ventilation: Fresh air helps your mattress stay hygienic. Every so often, air your mattress by placing it in sunlight if possible, as sunlight can kill bacteria and neutralise odours. If moving it outside isn’t practical, opening bedroom windows and placing the mattress in direct sunlight works too.
5. Everyday Care: Avoid jumping on the mattress or placing sharp, heavy objects directly on it. Be mindful with food and drinks in bed, as crumbs and spills can lead to stains or odours. Pets and hot drinks in particular can shorten the lifespan of your mattress.
6. Cleaning: For mattresses with an underside zip, the cover is not removable and should be spot cleaned only using a damp cloth and mild cleaning products if necessary. For mattresses with a side zip, the top white sleep surface can be unzipped and machine washed at 40°C on a gentle spin cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing or dry cleaning.
7. Deep Cleaning the Mattress: Every six months, give your mattress a thorough refresh. Strip the bedding, open windows for ventilation and vacuum the surface - especially the corners and piping where dust gathers. For stains, use a mild washing-up liquid solution or bicarbonate of soda to lift marks and avoid soaking the mattress. Always treat spills immediately to stop them from setting.

By following these simple steps, your Simba mattress will remain clean, supportive and comfortable for years to come.

If you are still wondering which Simba Hybrid mattress is best, the answer really depends on your personal needs and what you value most in a mattress. The Simba Hybrid Original is an excellent choice if you want a quality hybrid at a more affordable price point. The Simba Hybrid Pro is ideal if you’re looking for added support, a touch of natural wool comfort and a little extra firmness all round. For those who prioritise maximum breathability and luxury, the Simba Hybrid Luxe offers the most advanced construction, though it does come with a higher price tag. Ultimately, Simba Sleep provides three strong options, each designed to deliver comfort, support and cooling technology - so the best mattress is the one that suits your sleep style, budget and lifestyle.
