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 Octasmart® Hybrid Mattress offers medium firmness, striking a balance between too firm and too soft. Its structure uses Octaspring® technology for tailored support, while additional pocket springs enhance bounce, ensuring comfort and support across body zones.

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).
Our Octavent™ Air system makes the mattress 8 times more breathable, cooling your bed temperature by up to 3°C, helping you fall asleep faster, and sleep deeper for longer. This patented system harmonises award winning Octaspring® aerospace technology with a smart performance cover, together allowing cool air to circulate inside the mattress and hot air escape.
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 combination of technologies and innovative materials create outstanding performance and comfort in this mattress. Rated with as medium firm, you can be reassured that this mattress will support and cradle you right through the night. Different firmness Octaspring® springs are arranged in 3 body zones to provide customised support for your back, with more support for your hips and shoulders which allows your spine to comfortably take its natural shape.
