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 Nectar Premier is a medium-firm mattress. Nectar is designed for every type of sleeper and arrives backed by their Full Comfort Guarantee and Forever Warranty, plus a full year sleep trial so you can make sure Nectar is right for you - in the comfort of your own bedroom.

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).
What could be better than The Nectar Mattress, you ask? Well, the engineering found in our 28cm-deep Premier mattress. Unparalleled comfort is combined with excellent support, and precision engineering allows the mattress to adjust to all body shapes.
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.
The specially designed dual layer honeycomb base allows the mattress to conform to all body types and provides optimal spinal alignment.
