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 Panda mattress features seven zones of individually encased premium springs to minimize motion transfer, paired with high-density memory foam that absorbs excess movement and evenly distributes body weight for undisturbed sleep. Its medium firmness rating of 7 offers an optimal mix of comfort and support.

The Panda Hybrid Mattress has been designed to maximise breathability and airflow. Our BioCell Foam™ combines revolutionary open cell foam with fresh bamboo, increasing airflow and preventing the natural heat retention of visco foam. The zip-off top bamboo cover is highly breathable and wicks away moisture – effectively regulating body temperature throughout the night.

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).
OrthoAlign Foam™ and ultra-responsive pocket springs deliver next-level comfort and support. The orthopaedic grade foam promotes perfect alignment from head to toe, distributing weight effectively. Individually responsive pocket springs strategically positioned across seven zones respond to your sleeping position – working in harmony, taking comfort and relaxation to a whole new level.
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.
Blending unique technology and engineering with the unparalleled benefits of fresh bamboo, we’ve made our mattress suitable for every type of sleeper. Whether you’re a front, back or side sleeper, our unique foam naturally contours to your body position, keeping you supported from lights-out till morning.
