If you’ve browsed for a new mattress recently, you’ve probably bumped into Simba. Their blue and white branding pops up everywhere. And the Simba Hybrid mattress, in particular, has become something of a crowd favourite. So today I’m slipping into my most comfortable pyjamas and sharing a full Simba Hybrid mattress review.

First impressions of the Simba Hybrid Mattress

The Simba Hybrid mattress arrives rolled up in a box. A big box. But still, a much more manoeuvrable box.

Once you unroll it, it puffs up like a croissant in the oven over a couple of hours.

It feels sturdy straight away, and after 7 hours is ready to go.

That balanced sweet spot

The Simba Hybrid mattress is a good balance between firmness and cushioning, probably because of its various layers.

The top comfort layer

This is the most important layer for that cushioning effect, which is most welcome at the end of day.

The Aerocoil mini-springs

This is where Simba hybrid mattress stands out. These tiny springs add a bit of bounce – just enough to stop you feeling stuck. You can turn, stretch, flop (or escape for midnight snacks) without resistance.

The support base

The foam base adds a strong and structured foundation. It holds everything together without turning the mattress into a brick.

Overall, the mattress feels medium-firm, possibly leaning more towards the firm. It would probably suit back sleepers and front sleepers too, and then side sleepers.

Sleeping experience – seven nights in

I spent a full week making this Simba Hybrid mattress review as honest as possible. Here’s the rundown.

Night 1/2 – adjusting

My shoulders needed a day to settle in. Not in a bad way—more like my body realising it no longer needed to fight a saggy mattress.

Night 3 to 5 – the sweet spot

By mid-week, everything felt balanced. The mattress held my spine in a comfortable line. What’s more, the temperature stayed surprisingly neutral, too. The mattress didn’t swallow heat the way all-foam ones tend to.

Night 6/7 – approaching consistency

From around the sixth night, every night felt around the same. I think this is because the mattress had fully settled in and we’d gotten used to each other.

Other considerations

In terms of motion isolation, this mattress helps each person in the bed feel supported. The foam layers absorb movement well, while the springs add gentle responsiveness.

The Simba Hybrid mattress also has decent edge support, which is an area where some boxed mattresses don’t perform well in.

I sat on the edge to tie my shoes and didn’t feel it folding under me. It also means you can sleep near the edge without sliding off.

The best part for me though is the heat regulation. For a partially foam mattress, the Simba hybrid is cooler than you’d expect. The open-cell foam helps air move, and the mini-springs add airflow too.

And in terms of build quality, the materials and finishing feel premium. It feels like a mattress that would stand the test of time.

Who Will Love the Simba Hybrid?

You’ll enjoy this mattress if:

  • You like medium-firm support
  • You toss and turn
  • You want good motion isolation
  • You sleep hot
  • You dislike memory foam sinkholes

You might want something else if:

  • You love a marshmallow-soft feel
  • You’re a light sleeper and sleep on your side
  • You prefer traditional spring bounce

Final thoughts on the Simba Hybrid Mattress

The Simba Hybrid mattress offers a very comfortable sleep. It feels modern, well-designed, and suitable for a wide range of sleepers.

So far, I’ve had consistently good sleep on this mattress. So if you want a dependable, comfortable hybrid mattress that keeps things cooler and helps your body relax, the Simba Hybrid deserves a spot on the shortlist.
