With the promise of comfort and support, we take an in-depth look at the Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress. As a trusted mattress reviewer with a decade's experience in the industry, I strive to offer an impartial exploration of this product. It is Simba's eleven-layer build, with 7300 springs split across three tiers.
Design and Features
The Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress impressively combines an array of advanced materials - mini pocket springs, memory foam, latex, wool and bamboo, to create a sleeping surface that promises to adapt to your body shape, offering personalised comfort and pressure relief.
The individual pocket springs encased in cloth pockets are a highlight, engineered to react to your movement and distribute support according to your body's needs. A layer of mini-pocket springs adds to this synergistic design, providing additional comfort and quiet pressure relief. These smaller springs are a real standout, their individual encasing minimising motion transfer for a more undisturbed sleep.
A layer of memory foam works in harmony with these springs. Known for its contouring and cushioning properties, memory foam offers a sumptuous feel that cradles your body for a cosy sleep. Further adding to the mattress's luxurious feel is a layer of latex, a plush, adaptive material that actively responds to your body's movements for a revitalising slumber.
The inclusion of wool within the mattress's structure ensures insulation and excellent temperature regulation, ensuring a cosy atmosphere in colder weather and cooler comfort when the temperatures rise. The use of bamboo, a naturally hypoallergenic material, ensures a cleaner sleeping environment, fighting against allergens and creating a dust-mite-free space.
Finally, the mattress features a removable, washable knitted cover. Plush, breathable and super soft, the cover enhances airflow and adds an extra layer of convenience.
How We Assessed It
The base is 1000 traditional pocket springs built right to the edge, so I'd expect a firm border when you sit on the side. Above that are 2500 high carbon steel micro springs, with another 3800 in titanium alloy nearer the surface. To my mind the 7300 total is a marketing number. The two Simbatex foam layers and the latex and coconut layer will decide more of how it feels.
Mattress Comfort
Probably the most essential aspect - mattress comfort. On paper the Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress strikes an impressive balance between softness and support, with foam and latex for cushioning and three tiers of springs pushing back. One owner calls it firm, which fits the medium to firm label.
The medium-firm tension caters excellently to both side and back sleepers, offering a supportive yet cushioned surface to lay upon. The mattress's ability to successfully cater to these different positions is an impressive feat, courtesy of its smart spring-foam-latex combination. Side sleepers should find adequate pressure relief, particularly in those vulnerable areas like the hips and shoulders, while back sleepers would be well-supported for spinal alignment.
However, for side sleepers with an hourglass figure, a softer tension might provide more sinkage and comfort for those curves. Contrastingly, back sleepers will find a welcome ally in this mattress's supportive structure.
Suitability
While the Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress is undoubtedly packed with features, consider its suitability for your personal circumstances.
One potential drawback to note is that due to the single-sided design, the mattress runs the risk of uneven wear over time without the ability to flip it. Meanwhile, the heat retention element of memory foam might pose a challenge for those who sleep hot, despite the temperature-regulating wool layer.
With a significant 34cm depth, the mattress may not be suited to all standard bedding. This might require some careful consideration when contemplating accompanying bedding and related costs.
Lastly, the use of latex and bamboo materials certainly contribute to the premium price tag. While these materials offer some notable benefits, as a reviewer, I question whether these benefits justify the extra cost for all users and would recommend considering your individual preferences and budget.
What Customers Thought
The owner reviews are short and positive. One owner found it 'Very comfortable. No pressure on hips or shoulders. Not too warm'. Another calls the feel firm and the mattress 'extremely deep, very well-made', and finds turning over in bed much easier than on the two-year-old mattress it replaced.
The Verdict
All factors considered, the Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress undoubtedly excels when it comes to combining quality materials for support and comfort. It shines in individual body contouring, pressure relief, and temperature regulation - striking a solid balance of softness and support.
While the mattress presents a few potential drawbacks, mainly concerning the single-sided design, deeper fit, and the use of more exclusive materials, these factors relate more to personal preference and usage, making this mattress a likely contender for those who value luxury, supportive comfort and advanced sleep technology.
Ultimately, the Simba Hybrid Ultra 7300 Pocket Mattress paints a picture of luxurious comfort and support. Whether this mattress is your dream sleep partner will depend on your individual sleep needs, preferences, and budget. Evaluate and consider carefully to secure the slumber of your dreams.
