Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Good quality at a fair price point that might be a bit over-budget for some, but still should appeal to a large segment.

Sleep trial might not be as good as Emma, but will be enough to determine whether or not you like it.

Plenty of reviews including long term ones for customers to gain confidence in the product.

Competition in the hybrid segment is growing and while the Simba performs well, the price point alienates those looking for something a bit more budget. At time of writing we have reviewed an Emma Essential Mattress that might suit this budget segment a little better.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Simba Hybrid 2500 is a great example of a hybrid mattress. No longer do you have to choose between a foam base or a spring base as the Hybrid features both – and in plentiful quantities.  This model combines the best of both worlds to create something innovative, comfortable and cool enough to keep you sleeping at night thanks to new and breathable layers that improve upon the existing Simba Original Mattress. 

The mattress now consists of multiple layers of foam work alongside the high quality 2500 pocket springs to offer unparalleled support that will appeal to both back and side sleepers alike. Onto the comfort layer and you get the dependable and well-loved memory foam with charcoal infusion (to assist with breathability), this isn’t necessarily something we haven’t seen before, and while this time round it is being referred to as Simbatex® it is actually very similar to the foam offered in many Mlily mattresses.

Who is This Mattress For?

The Simba Hybrid 2500 is for anyone who wants a comfortable, long-lasting bed with a great bounce. This mattress will suit stomach and back sleepers, as well as side sleepers thanks to the hybrid design and its medium-firm tension. This hybrid model can also be a great choice for couples, since it can conform to the shape of each person’s body with no roll-together combined with no roll-off which allows for an uninterrupted night's sleep. If you want a high-quality mattress that will last for years, this could be the one for you.

The Good Stuff

The Simba Hybrid 2500 comes with a number of great features. The first of these is the design, which is a clever hybrid model. The top layer of memory foam historically performs well for pressure relief. The bottom layers offer enough body contouring to provide back and neck support for those looking for a necessary amount of back and neck pain relief. Combining these two materials in one mattress means that the mattress is durable, comfortable and consumer focussed. This hybrid model also comes with the charcoal infusion in the foam which works with the breathable pocket spring layer to ensure that you won’t get too hot while you’re sleeping. This is great for anyone who suffers from overheating while they sleep.

The Bad Stuff

As with all hybrid mattresses, the more layers you have the heavier it gets and the result of such a high quality mattress is that the Simba Hybrid 2500 is quite heavy and without handles to assist in rotation. This isn’t necessarily too much of an issue, but it does mean you lose out on one of the key benefits of the bed-in-a-box era around ease of movement surrounding setup and rotation. This hybrid model is also a bit on the pricey side, so it might not be the best choice for people who are on a budget.

Conclusion

The Simba Hybrid 2500 is a high-quality hybrid model that will provide you with years of restful sleep. This hybrid model is great for most sleepers thanks to its combination of materials that provide comfort, durability, and bounce. If you’re looking for a high-quality hybrid mattress that will last you for years, this is the one for you thanks to the included 10 year guarantee. Reviews are coming in thick and fast and there are now enough long term reviews to help back up your decision and allow you to purchase in confidence regardless of how you sleep. Finally, the Simba Hybrid is sold through numerous retail channels but still retains its 60-night sleep trial meaning that if you are not satisfied with it, you can replace it and not be out of pocket financially.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

We bought the mattress as it ranked highly in several consumer and home magazines, including Which. We were not disappointed it is a very comfortable mattress for both of us. "I am sleeping better than I have done in a few years" commented my wife.
