Simba Hybrid Essential 1000 Pocket Mattress

Rolled mattresses have a unique benefit in that they expand to the size of a normal mattress but are delivered rolled up. The benefit of rolled mattresses is that the retailer is able to offer significant discounts since there are savings in logistics, storage and delivery costs that can get passed to the consumer. As a result it is often cheaper to purchase an equivalent rolled mattress compared to its non rolled counterpart.

A medium firm tension mattress is slightly firmer than your average medium mattress. This is ideal for those who either prefer a little bit more support, or, those that have a slightly higher BMI than average. You may also benefit from a medium firmness mattress where you are suffering from neck/back pain as the additional support can help prevent and alleviate these symptoms.

Single side mattresses have a few pros and cons compared to traditional double sided mattresses. The main positive is that you do not need to flip, meaning a hassle free low maintenance product. The easy care nature does reduce durability slightly since there is less surface area utilised as there is no secondary comfort layer on the reverse.

Edge support is really important and often found in the more premium end of mattresses. This edge support allows the edges of the mattress to have the same degree of tension as the inside of the product giving you confidence in the edges and helping to prevent roll of through the strengthened edge.

The mattress comes with breathable side vents that allow the mattress to remain cool while you sleep. Another benefit to being breathable is that you naturally sweat during the night and the cool and breathable nature means that your mattress will remain hygienic for many years to come.

A hybrid mattress is one which benefits from both springs and foam in its base layer giving you the flexibility of foam with the body contouring of springs. The result is a comfortable and supportive lower tension that is both durable and great for full body relief.

The combination of springs and foam offers balanced support and plush comfort, catering to a wide range of sleep preferences. This fusion enhances durability while providing the pressure relief of foam with the support and bounce of springs.

The use of 100% British steel ensures high durability and strength in the springs, suggesting a longer lifespan for the mattress. Manufacturing in Leeds upholds quality control standards, contributing to reliable performance.

The inclusion of a super-comfy layer offers enhanced comfort by providing a snug and plush feel, promoting restful sleep. This adds an additional level of luxury, making the sleeping environment more inviting and relaxing.

Meets BS7177: 2008 for domestic low hazard use. Testing covers resistance to a smouldering cigarette and a small flame the size of a match flame, not suitability for hotels or care homes.

Marketed as spreading weight across the sleeping surface. The claimed benefit is reduced pressure at shoulders and hips, while the feel depends on your build and sleeping position.

Extra support around the mattress perimeter is meant to stop the sides compressing as much when you sit on the edge or lie close to it; try the edge in person if you can.

Handles offer grip when repositioning or rotating the mattress, while supporting its weight from underneath avoids putting excessive strain on their stitching.

Delivery is in a compact rolled package. This can ease carrying through doorways and upstairs, but unpack it and follow the maker's instructions before use.

With a thickness of 20cm (about 7.9 inches), this contributes to sleeping height, while fitted sheets need pockets that accommodate the full mattress depth.

National Bed Federation approval means the maker belongs to a scheme audited on fire safety, clean fillings and honest labelling, not comfort or firmness.

A knitted cover forms the sleeping surface and is, in the brand's words, soft, breathable and hypoallergenic, with stretch from its looped construction.

Each spring has its own fabric wrapping and compresses independently, a construction billed as reducing movement compared with springs wired together.

Made in the UK gives the country it was built in and little about quality on its own, so judge the materials, construction and guarantee separately.

Rated between medium and firm. Marketed as supportive with some give, this feel sits on the brand's own scale, so ratings may differ across brands.

The listing calls it National Bed Federation approved, indicating manufacturer audits for fire safety, filling cleanliness and accurate labelling.

Only one side is intended for sleeping. Do not flip it; rotate from head to foot as instructed by the maker to spread wear across the surface.

The materials are pitched as less likely to trigger allergic reactions, so their composition is worth comparing with any known sensitivities.

A ten-year manufacturer warranty is included. Keep your receipt for any claim and check the retailer's warranty terms to see what is covered.

Sold as fire resistant, not fireproof, with no test standard or testing conditions specified, so keep it away from flames and heat sources.

Knitted fabric uses interlocking loops that allow some stretch, so the cover can flex with the cushioning beneath it as pressure changes.

UK handcrafting is the brand's own description, and the share done by hand differs between makers, so weigh the materials alongside it.

Allow 20cm (about 7.9 inches) for mattress thickness when assessing bed height, and choose fitted sheets with sufficient depth.

Inside are 1,000 individually wrapped mini pocket springs, allowing each spring to compress independently as you move.

On its maker's scale, medium to firm is billed as having less give than medium, for buyers seeking a firmer surface.

Delivered rolled and compressed in a box, with only one side for sleeping on.

Memory foam comfort filling is advertised as moulding with warmth.

Ten years of guarantee cover come from the maker.
