Simba Hybrid Original Mattress Bundle – EU Single 90 x 200cm | Includes 1 x Hybrid Pillow | 200 Night Trial

Thought I'd leave it a while to write a review on this mattress just incase I didn't like it etc. I purchased this mattress when the black Friday deals were happening and got it at a very good price. Much cheaper than on the Simba website.Pros:• Very comfy! My partner was struggling with our old mattress and getting back pain etc so I looked up memory foam mattresses and we picked this because it's not as harsh as a full memory foam mattress because of its hybrid structure. We also went into a shop and found this was the most comfortable for us when trying other brands. Many months on and her back pain has gone and we have both been sleeping very well.• Value for money. We got this at a very good price and I feel it's better than some of the more expensive brands that are on the market. Obviously this could be different for other people but for us it's perfect. I dont usually have problems sleeping or being uncomfortable at the best of times but its helped my partner sleep better significantly.• Temperature. People sometimes complain about memory foam being hot to sleep on, but this I dont find that bad. I'm usually always hot and I find this mattress just as cool as a normal mattress.Cons:• I haven't really got any cons but the only test really is how long it will last. That's the same with every mattress but at the moment I haven't noticed any lumps and bumps etc. We turn the mattress regularly like they state so at the moment its fine. If the mattress does get worse anytime soon I'll update my review.Thanks!

GOOD QUALITY MATTRESS. KEEPS TWO PEOPLE FROM DISTURBING EACH OTHER. COSTLY BUT WOULD BUY AGAIN IF I CAN AFFORD TOO.

First of all, in fairness, lots of people leave good reviews for this mattress. However, do take the time to look at the negative reviews as there is a recurring theme that whilst they often start out well, they don't last! That is what I found.Google "Simba mattress Guardian" for an article on the Guardian website that sums up the issue, or look at quite a number of the reviews for it on the John Lewis website.I bought the Simba king size mattress in January 2018 after our old mattress had finally given up. I tried it out in John Lewis so I knew what it felt like in the shop, and it felt good - just the right mix of softness in the top but supportiveness underneath if that makes sense. I also looked at all the online reviews which generally were very positive, and bought it through Amazon.It was delivered quickly, and at first was great, just like it had been in the shop, and a big improvement on the mattress it was replacing. I can't say I slept extra hours on it, but it wasn't giving me aches and pains as the old mattress had.As we got near the end of the 100 day initial trial period I was starting to have doubts about it, but I thought it was just a case of getting used to a new bed after 10 years on the old one. There wasn't anything I could really put my finger on but I wasn't sleeping fantastically on it, but I decided to keep going with it and thought I would get used to it.As it turned out, it got worse with time, not better. The issue was the mattress - I don't know whether it was the foam, the springs or both - was going soft. The result was it wasn't supporting my hips, which were sinking into it in the night, meaning my lower back was out of alignment. I have never had long-term back pain before sleeping on the Simba, but I did then.We were rotating the mattress as advised by Simba. I am bigger and heavier than my wife, but at 15 stone I am well under Simba's maximum weight under its guarantee (18 or 19 stone I seem to recall). With the mattress being rotated, two soft areas developed where I slept - top left and bottom right, where my torso was lying at each rotation. there was a ridge down the middle where neither of us were sleeping, and firmness around the edges, again where nobody was sleeping and putting pressure on it.By the summer, with the mattress about 6 months old, I was sleeping terribly and had a permanent back ache. By the winter I gave up and tried to return it under its guarantee, because no mattress should go soft that quickly.I was impressed by Simba at that point, because they asked me to send photos of the mattress to show the problem. I did, with photos of objects on the mattress sinking in where the soft parts were and not sinking so much where it was still good. They agreed an exchange under the guarantee.The new one arrived, and again it started out well, but again rapidly developed soft areas where I was sleeping and putting the most weight on it. Again I was sleeping worse and worse, and again I got the back ache.We tried to return it again, but this time Simba sent out their inspector to report on it. He found the mattress to be "within tolerances" and so now Simba won't accept a return.So there are a few things we can conclude:1. I have owned two Simbas, and both have gone soft very quickly, with a ridge down the middle, and giving me bad sleep and back pain.2. A lot of the reviews that are left are positive, but a lot of those are left just a short time after owning a Simba. A lot of those left after a longer period of time are much more negative, suggesting the Simba starts well but does not last.3. According to Simba, this is within tolerances. In other words, they are supposed to be like this!Simba won't accept their mattress isn't up to standard, which is hugely disappointing. We have now bought a different mattress from someone else. We now sleep fine.

Have even using the mattress for about 22 nights and it is already showing signs of sagging.It is very comfortable and ‘does what it says on the tin’For such an expensive mattress I hope it lasts longer than the last one.(Conventional pocket sprung )

We have had this mattress for a month now and just given it the first turn. I would say that it is firmer than I thought it would be, but having said that, we both find it very comfortable. However this may not suit someone who prefers a softer mattress. I have back and shoulder problems, and have had no recurrence, so far, since having the mattress. It is a very heavy mattress and I think it certainly takes two to turn it, I wouldn’t want to attempt it by myself. We get no disturbance from each other’s movement, which is really great. It seems to get warm very quickly, but neither of us has had a problem by getting too warm and really hope that this will still be the case once the warmer weather arrives. So far, I can say we are very satisfied with our purchase and it’s good to know that we have several more months ‘trial’ should there be any problems.

Good for sleeping

I loved this mattress right from day one. I had slept on a Simba mattress while away for a weekend and was impressed enough to come home and order one as my old spring mattress needed replacing. I was having sciatica problems and was very uncomfortable when turning over in bed and would wake constantly in the night. What a difference this mattress has made. It’s not solved my sciatica but I do get a comfortable nights sleep now.Would I change it? No way

So far so good.We were sceptical that it could make such a big difference, as we both suffer with very bad backs and I have hip and shoulder issues. We were pleasantly surprised.My partner had 98% sleep quality on the 1st night. He has previously had an average of 65-70%! 2 Weeks in and we don't want to get up....if only the kids would let us lay in! Great support, no roll into the middle ( like previous so called firm mattresses). A great balance of firm support and the top is soft enough to no longer need a mattress topper. Nice and cool to sleep on, less night sweats. I hope the quality lasts...good to have the 100 day money back guarantee too.
