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).
Added springs and layers provide a plusher, more luxurious feel, even better heat regulation and ultimately an even more comfy night's sleep. Meaning there's now a Simba for a wider range of needs and budgets. An even thicker knitted cover increases the comfort without compromising airflow. Wool is naturally temperature regulating and moisture wicking and a dream for hot sleepers. Whatever the season you can rest cool and rest easy. Open cell Simbatex foam is infused with graphite for enhanced cooling. The conical design of the springs means they are cone-shaped and allow for greater airflow between the springs.
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.
More miQro® springs mean greater airflow and better body weight distribution. Plush, lush, gravity-defying comfort. Up to 2,500 additional miQro® springs mean greater airflow and better body weight distribution. These 25mm conical pocket miQro springs are made with 100% British steel, manufactured in Leeds and are enclosed in a 100% polyester pocket. High definition foam with edge support means you won't get that feeling of rolling or falling off the bed when sleeping or sitting on the border. A zoned support base provides different levels of support to different areas of your body to reduce pressure points.
