Pros & Cons

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 a decade of industry insight.

Filled with Simba Renew recycled polyester fibres that mimic the softness of down while being more sustainable and hypoallergenic.
Adjustable fill allows you to add or remove fibres, tailoring the loft and firmness to your preferred sleep position.
Soft cotton quilted cover promotes breathability and a fresher feel throughout the night.
Stratos cool-touch fabric on one side helps to dissipate excess heat, offering a cooler surface for those prone to overheating.
Removable, machine-washable cover with zipper for easier cleaning, and supplied with a storage bag for both pillow and spare filling.
MTick menopause-friendly accreditation and a 1-year guarantee provide reassurance for buyers seeking temperature regulation and product reliability.

Polyester fill can compress with time and repeated use, leading to reduced loft and support compared with higher-end materials like latex or memory foam.
Cooling treatment may lose effectiveness after multiple washes, meaning temperature regulation benefits could diminish over the long term.
Even with height adjustment, the feel remains relatively soft, which may not suit sleepers who require firmer, more structured neck support.
Only the outer cover is washable; internal fibres cannot be fully laundered, which may impact freshness over prolonged use.
The 1-year guarantee is shorter than many premium pillow warranties, raising questions about long-term durability.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow is a luxury cooling fibre pillow with an adjustable height and a couple of genuinely useful features. I tested it in store rather than at home, so I can’t speak to long term wear but I did spend some time lying on it on my back and side with a standard mattress and my first impression was that it was well constructed, nicely padded and actually felt noticeably cool to the touch on the Stratos side. At about £60 for a single pillow it is firmly in the high end bracket rather than supermarket basics territory.

The marketing describes it as a cooling menopause friendly pillow with an adjustable recycled filling, and that does chime with my in person experience. The cool touch surface is particularly impressive when you first rest your cheek on it, and in general it felt like a supportive, medium loft pillow that you can fiddle with to taste by removing or adding fill to customise the height and support. It is not an impulse buy on a tight budget, but if you are after a specific cooling synthetic pillow that you can tweak to your personal preference, it is definitely in the running.

Construction & materials

Inside the Simba Stratos Pillow is Simba Renew, a 100% recycled polyester fibre filling. It is not one solid block of foam, but instead the interior is stuffed with clusters of soft, down like fibres. In the shop, the effect was lofty, bouncy and something that could be squashed and reshaped without going flat and dead straight away. The recycled filling is a nice touch in the sustainability stakes if you are trying to avoid virgin polyester.

The key practical point with the Simba Renew fill is that it is completely adjustable. There is a zip along the side which lets you open the pillow and remove or add handfuls of fibres to change the loft and firmness. Bensons include an extra drawstring bag for holding spare fill, which seems like a minor detail but actually makes the whole customisation process much more practical and less messy.

All of which sits inside a 100% soft cotton quilted cover. On first look, the cover feels smooth, reasonably thick and the light quilting adds a touch of surface plushness. It has a more luxury hotel style look and feel rather than basic hollowfibre appearance and when I picked it up the stitching and zip felt robust in the shop.

One side of the cover has been treated with Simba’s Stratos cool touch technology. You can quickly tell which side this is because it feels distinctly cooler and slightly sleeker to the touch. The idea is this side will draw excess heat away from the skin to help you stay at a more comfortable temperature through the night. The other side has a simpler cotton finish if you prefer a more neutral texture.

The cover is removable and machine washable at 40°C, and the whole thing can be tumble dried on low heat. Which means you can regularly freshen the surface without disrupting the inner filling that you have carefully adjusted to your preference. The pillow also comes in a reusable storage bag, which is a nice touch if you like to take your own pillow on holiday, and it has a 1 year guarantee if you want some purchase protection.

Finally, the Simba Stratos Pillow has been awarded MTick accreditation as a menopause friendly pillow and is endorsed by GenM for its potential to help with night sweats. It does not magically cure overheating, but it is a useful indication that the design has been approached with temperature regulation in mind.

Comfort & feel

In store, with the filling at its original level, the Simba Stratos Pillow felt like a medium to medium firm pillow with a fairly high loft. On my back, my head sank in slightly before being cushioned in a gentle cradle, rather than feeling like I was balancing on top or plummeting straight through. Side on, there was a decent height to bridge the gap between neck and mattress without feeling unduly hard.

The down like fibre clusters also give it a pleasingly squishy feel when you first settle down. You can plump it up by punching and patting into shape, and it springs back rather than collapsing into a pancake. It did not have the slow sinking sensation of memory foam, so if you love that slowly conforming, almost stuck in feel, this is a different experience. Instead here, the sensation is of a soft cloud like surface with a supportive core.

Given you can remove the Simba Renew filling, the comfort range is quite broad. At full it suits those who like a taller, more robust pillow. Remove a little and it softens and lowers a touch, which in my brief test felt better for back sleeping if you prefer your head closer to the mattress. Remove more still and you can create a much slimmer, squishier pillow that will be more comfortable for front sleepers who need minimal loft under the neck.

I only had a chance to try it over a short time in store so I can’t comment on weeks and months of nightly use, but the repeated lie down, get up and fluff back into shape it performed well. No obvious clumping or lumpy feel and the outer quilting helped keep the surface feeling even.

Performance & support

For side sleepers, the key support is to get the height right. As supplied, I found the Simba Stratos offered a decent amount of lift under the head and neck, and is on a par with a similarly priced premium Hypnos or Relyon fibre pillow in store. If you have broad shoulders you will likely like the default loft. If you are narrow shouldered and long necked, removing a little of the fibre will bring the neck into a more natural line.

Back sleepers in my opinion will do best with a medium fill level. At full it was verging on a touch high for some backs, with the chin nudged slightly towards the chest. Take out a couple of handfuls and it settles into a more natural position where your head feels gently supported without being propped up.

Front sleepers are always the most challenging to accommodate as most pillows are simply too high. Here is where the adjustability really proves its worth. Being able to remove as much of the filling as needed means you can go right down to a much lower loft, which should help keep the neck in a more neutral position. In store, after squeezing and compressing by hand imagining half or more of the fibres removed, it was easy to imagine it working well for stomach sleeping too.

The only trade off with a loose fibre design is that it will need the odd fluff and plump to keep the support feeling even. If you are the sort of person who hates touching a pillow and wants it to look exactly as it did the night before every morning, a solid foam style is probably better. But if you don’t mind an adjustable soft support that you can fiddle with to your liking, it does as it says on the tin.

Temperature regulation

This is the big USP for the Simba Stratos Pillow. The Stratos treated side has a very noticeably cool feel when you first touch it, even in the warm lights of the showroom. When I lay my cheek on that side, the cool touch effect was clear and distinct, and not something you get from standard cotton pillows. It is not an icy blast, just a subtle but tangible coolness that helps offset body heat.

The loose fibre construction helps with temperature too. Instead of a dense block of foam that can hold heat, the airy polyester clusters have little air pockets between them, which should let heat and moisture escape more easily. Paired with the cotton cover, this ought to make it more comfortable for hot sleepers than dense non breathable foam pillows.

Its MTick accreditation as a menopause friendly pillow is based on its potential to help with night sweats, and between the cool touch surface and overall build, it certainly comes across as a sensible option if overheating is one of your main concerns. You will still want breathable bedding and a suitable duvet to complete the setup, but as a cooling pillow it makes a convincing case.

Practical features

On the practical front the Simba Stratos Pillow is well considered. The zip off cover makes cleaning it a breeze, as you can machine wash the outer layer at 40°C and tumble dry on low without having to disturb the filling. That is especially useful if you have allergies or suffer with night sweats and want to wash your bedding regularly.

The included reusable storage bag is more than a marketing pitch. If you travel a lot and like to take your own pillow, it is a neat way to keep it clean in the car or suitcase. The extra little bag for spare fibres is a neat detail which keeps loft adjustment simple and also allows you to store the removed fill if you later change your mind and want to add some back in.

There is also the eco benefit of the Simba Renew filling being 100% recycled polyester, which adds a bit of sustainability angle that is not present with standard hollowfibre. That said, if you prefer natural fillings such as feather, down or wool, this is fully synthetic construction and will not satisfy that particular preference.

The 1 year guarantee is reassuring if fairly standard in this price range. The pillow is sold as a single unit rather than a pair, so kitting out a double with two Simba Stratos Pillows takes you to about £120 at full price. There are regular offers on Simba and other pillows at Bensons, but at full RRP this is definitely a considered purchase rather than a budget option.

Who it suits

Hot sleepers and those dealing with night sweats should have this pillow on their shortlist. The cool touch Stratos side feels genuinely refreshing, and the loose fibre fill should help avoid the sticky overheated sensation that some solid foam pillows can generate.

Back and side sleepers who like a medium to high loft pillow will do well with it, particularly if they are happy to play around with the fill level to dial in their ideal height. The default loft in store was a good all round medium firm for me, but tweak it to your needs.

Front sleepers who struggle to find a low enough pillow will appreciate the ability to strip out a lot of filling and create a slimmer, softer pad, which is very hard to do with fixed height pillows.

Shoppers looking for a premium synthetic pillow with a good quality feel will also be well catered for. In hand and under the head it has the heft and feel of other well known branded pillows in the same price bracket, such as Hypnos or Relyon, and the finishing touches are in keeping with that bracket.

Who it does not suit

If you are on a tight budget, the Simba Stratos Pillow will likely feel over budget, especially if you need more than one. You can pick up basic hollowfibre pillows for a tiny fraction of the cost, albeit without the cooling tech or loft adjustment.

If you are a fan of solid memory foam, you may well find it too soft and squishy. It does not give the slow contouring hug that memory foam pillows offer around the neck, and some people really prefer that type of support.

If you hate faff, the whole idea of having to remove and add fibres to adjust the loft will probably not appeal. You can use it as is straight out of the bag, but to really get the most out of it you do need to fiddle with the filling and that takes a bit of time and experimentation.

If you want natural fillings like feather, down or wool, this fully synthetic, recycled polyester design will not scratch that itch, even though it is more eco conscious than standard hollowfibre.

Final verdict

Based on my in store testing, the Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow comes across as a well made, thoughtfully designed cooling pillow that feels like it is worth the premium price for the right person. The construction feels solid, the Simba Renew recycled filling offers a good balance of softness and support and the adjustable loft means it can be tuned to suit almost any sleeping position.

The real star though is the Stratos cool touch surface which has a noticeably cool feel to the touch on contact and, in tandem with the breathable build, should be more comfortable for hot sleepers and those experiencing night sweats. Add in the washable cover, reusable storage bag, menopause friendly accreditation and 1 year guarantee, and you have a well rounded package.

Undeniably it is a little pricey for a single pillow, but not out of line with other branded cooling or hotel style pillows from familiar names like Hypnos and Relyon. If you just want something cheap to shove in a spare room guest bed, this is overkill. If, however, you are prepared to invest in a specific cooling pillow with adjustable comfort and a high end feel, the Simba Stratos Pillow is a strong, cool headed choice.

Really pleased with this purchase. The adjustable height is a real game changer and the cooling feature works better than I expected. A bit expensive, but definitely worth it.

Truly comfortable, the cooling feature is just brilliant for a hot sleeper like me. Adjustable fill levels are really useful.

I received two Simba pillows as part of a promo deal with my Hybrid Pro mattress, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much - but they've turned out to be a fantastic bonus. The build quality is impressive: they feel substantial without being bulky, and the adjustable fill system is a clever touch. I was able to tweak the height and firmness to suit my sleeping style, which made a noticeable difference in neck support and comfort. No more waking up with a stiff neck or having to double up pillows. Temperature regulation is solid too. The pillows stay cool throughout the night, even when the room warms up - a nice complement to the mattress's cooling layers. For something that came free, these pillows punch well above their weight. They're not just throw-ins - they're genuinely well-designed and elevate the whole sleep setup. If you're getting them as part of a bundle, consider it a win.

The quality of the pillow is great, but unfortunately it's not comfortable for us! after ordering two (one for me and one for my husband). I really wanted to get us both a good quality pillow as my husband struggles sleeping. After a week of using it, my husband couldn't use it any longer because it is really uncomfortable and the insides splay to the side. I powered through and used it for two weeks because I was adamant to my husband that spending lots of money on a nice one would help our sleep. I stopped using it because I started to get a bad neck, shoulders and migraines from using it. I am absolutely gutted in all honesty because I've spent 100 on two pillows that we can't use and also can't return :-( I'm not bad mouthing the company because I'm sure the pillows work for lots of people. The quality was also really good and it came in a little bag etc.

There it is, finally out for delivery. I've been looking forward to it - the miracle pillow guaranteeing good sleep. God knows I needed it, the sleep that is. Hours feel like days before it arrives - a relatively small package, not what I expected. I opened it with the kind of excitement kids get on Christmas morning. "Huh?" - my first disappointment - "It looks so small...nothing fancy?". I don't spend money often (read "I don't have spending money often") so this felt like a trick... Night falls, first night on the new pillow - "It feels so low..." - I thought - "Maybe the hype isn't really Zzzzzzzzz" I did not wake up through the night despite the clock tower nearby hitting it out loud each hour, I did not have nightmares, I did not toss and turn and actually woke up feeling fresh and rested. "What kind of sorcery is that pillow?"

I use these as second pillows with two of the Simba Hubrid ones as top pillow but omg it makes a huge difference having this that having the older feather pillow I was using as bottom pillows the don't go flat, they don't slide of the bed after a restless night in fact they are the best bottom pillows I have ever owned in the 31 years since I left home and moved to my own house. I now have the Simba mattress, duvet, 2 hybrid pillow and 2 stratus pillows and I get a full 9 hours unbroken sleep a night something I never thought possible having spent my entire adult life sleeping for no more than 4 hours broken a night I would recommend and have been recommending to everyone I talk to that they should go down the Simba route if they want to wake up ready to take on the world

I sent for pillows from Simba recently. They arrived speedily, were very well packaged and were reasonably priced. I suffer from a spinal injury sustained some years ago and now have limited mobility. I can only sleep on my back and am unable to readjust pillows on my bed once I am settled and lying down. Before the Simba pillows arrived, I was very uncomfortable in bed after a few hours as the pillows, and believe me I had tried many, seemed to collapse in the middle and this was a real issue for me and my lack of sleep. The Simba have resolved this issue for me as they retain their shapeas they don't 'collapse' are pleasantly cool and are very comfortable for my head. My friend recommended these to me - I only wish that I had learned about them years ago!

Okay listen I don't know what ancient magic, secret chemicals, or government-level sleep technology is inside this pillow, but the moment my head touches it, I'm gone. Not "slowly drifting to sleep" gone. I mean full system shutdown. Like someone unplugged me from the wall. I used to stay up late overthinking my entire existence. Now? Pillow: touches my head Me: [Windows XP shutdown sound] My family suspects there's a tiny elf inside who hits me with a tranquilizer dart at night. I'm not saying it's 100% true but I've never seen the elf and I've also never been awake long enough to check. 10/10 would recommend if: You like sleeping. You really like sleeping. You want to fall asleep faster than a fainting goat. If I disappear, the pillow did it.

Ive been using the Stratos Pillow for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been an excellent addition to my sleep routine. The pillow offers amazing support, helping me maintain proper alignment throughout the night. I've noticed a significant reduction in neck pain and stiffness, which has greatly improved the quality of my sleep. The material feels soft yet firm, providing the perfect balance of comfort and support. It also maintains its shape well and doesn't flatten out over time. I love how breathable it is, keeping me cool during the night without overheating. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the Stratos Pillow to anyone looking for better sleep quality and comfort.

First and foremost, the comfort level of the mattress is extraordinary. It feels like sleeping on a cloud! The moment I laid down, I could feel the plushness and support that my body craved. The materials used are of top-notch quality, providing the perfect balance of softness and firmness. I wake up every morning feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the day ahead. Secondly, the delivery process was seamless, and the team was punctual and professional. Lastly, I would like to mention the outstanding value for the price. The quality of this mattress far surpasses its cost, making it an excellent investment for a good night's sleep.

Absolutely amazing sleep! Me and my partner no longer roll into the middle or sink into the matress. It's lovely and firm, keeps us nice and cool. I was abit worried when ordering just incase it was too firm but its amazing! Best sleep in along time, i sleep on my front and side and its great. I would definitely recommend to everyone. The cushions are amazing to sleep on, comfy, supportive and airy. Best decision on both matress and cushions. If your indecisive about the matress there's a guarantee on the matress so you can trial before you keep it , but you won't regret it. Delivery guys were helpful and great too Thankyou

I bought this simba stratos pillow for us to have a second pillow in the bed as for Simba Hybrid for main pillow. The Stratos Pillow is a sleep revolution! Its advanced design combines the support of memory foam with the cooling properties of gel-infused technology, providing the ultimate comfort and temperature regulation. The contouring shape perfectly aligns with the neck and head, promoting proper spinal alignment for a restful sleep. With its breathable cover and hypoallergenic materials, it's a dream come true for allergy sufferers. Highly recommended for a refreshing and rejuvenating sleep experience

Disappointed with the Stratos pillow. When it arrived it felt very lumpy and bumpy, with bulky raised seams and a filling which is quite uneven and ungenerous, leaving it rather flat. After sleeping on it for a couple of weeks, despite plumping it every day, I find it uncomfortable, as the filling is inadequate. Sleeping on my back it feels like the lumpy filling parts to leave my head unsupported. Sleeping on my side it feels lumpy and makes my ear ache. On a positive note, it does stay cool. I'm sorry to say that this pillow does not feel luxurious or high tech and I wish I had bought something different.

I'd been suffering from neck pain and having headaches since I'd attempted to wash my usual pillow (after my son had been sick on it!) and decided it was time for a new pillow, I've spent a lot of money in the past trying to find the right pillow so was happy to see that there's a trial period, I need firm but not too fluffy as sometimes I sleep on my front but mostly my side, anyway after plenty of research I bought this and straight away felt the difference! My neck is nicely supported and the pillow is soft enough for me to lay in various positions, I love it, If you're not sure - just give it a try!

We received our stratos pillows 3 weeks ago and our first impression was of disappointment. They looked a bit flat upon opening and did not look promising. HOWEVERthese have proved to be like a miracle. . neither of us has had even the hint of neck ache and we seem to have slept very soundly using these. I am a side/back sleeper and I never actually thought I would ever find a comfortable pillow . . I have tried so many of all different fillings and now I will never try another, this one is perfect and for me with a 'cool' side is the icing on top of the best cake ever! Thank you Simba

The Stratos Pillow has completely transformed my sleep experience! From the moment I started using it, I could feel the difference in support and comfort it provides. The pillow perfectly adapts to your sleeping position, offering just the right amount of firmness and softness. What truly sets the Stratos Pillow apart is the cooling technology. No more flipping the pillow in the middle of the night to find the "cool side" - it stays perfectly cool and comfortable throughout. It feels like a blend of cutting-edge innovation and luxurious comfort designed to enhance your sleep.

The hybrid design with multiple layers of springs and foam provides the perfect balance of comfort and support. I love how well it regulates temperature-I no longer wake up overheated in the middle of the night. It's also great for couples, as the mattress isolates movement really well. While it is on the firmer side, I've found it perfect for back and stomach sleeping. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality and comfort. Also I love the minimalist design of the Camden bed frame I bought with them which fits perfectly with my room's dcor.

I've suffered from poor sleep for years, waking up and not feeling comfortable no matter which way I've turned. I've tried other 'revolutionary' pillows in the past and thought the memory foam variants were as good as they got, how wrong I was! Since I've had my SIMBA pillow, the days of tossing and turning and trying to find the right position are truly over, I'm sleeping soundly and wake up refreshed. I'm so pleased I took the plunge with my SIMBA, have been telling anyone and everyone since how they need to upgrade their sleeping habits too!

I always bought pillows in a low price range. They were also branded (good, reputable brands), but cheap. I could never justify spending lots of money on a pillow. But here we are. I came across the situation when I had to build my bed again from scratch so I went all in and ordered a Simba mattress, along with their pillows. The realisation just hit me after the first 2 nights, how many sleep I wasted fighting with my cheap pillows. I'm not saying it is cheap, but definitely something good and new experience. I will never look back

Got this free with my simba matress. I already have the simba hybrid pillow and can't rate it high enough absolutely superb. These pillows even though they are half the price of the hybrid they just aren't on the same level. They are high enough to use just 1 pillow which surprised me however 3 nights use and I can already feel them going lumpy which never happens with the hybrid pillow. If I'm being honest I think there better off just selling the hybrid and doing away with budget pillows no one can argue with the hybrid pillow

Nice pillow for front sleepers or people who need alignment of head and spine. Cant really feel the cool technology but I haven't been over heated in bed since receiving our mattress time will only tell as the weather starts to warm up again in the spring. It is good quality and an adjustment since our older pillows are what I still go for when making the bed. They do however feel luxurious and I like the simba branding. Overall I'm enjoying my sleeping and since having the hybrid pro luxe mattress we are sleep alot better.

Purchased the Stratos pillow to give me added support to the pillow I already have. I suffer from severe acid reflex & I need to sleep upright. I didn't want to purchase a foam wedge. It is a really comfortable pillow and gives me enough support when on top of my other pillow. It supports my upper back and neck. I am not waking up with upper back or neck pain. Pillows are individual for each person. I purchased my pillow in the sale which I felt was good value. It arrived quickly and well packed.

I spent a long time looking at reviews of pillows that might suit me, and the Stratos kept coming up. I'm not sure why though, it's a decent pillow but not worth the price. I've only had it a few weeks and I have to keep plumping it. The good thing is that the filling does plump better than normal pillows. The cooling works too, unfortunately that's not what I want from a pillow in winter! Overall, it does the job but if you're going to spend 60 on one, I'd say get a different pillow.

I was completely surprised to learn that we'd get two FREE pillows when we ordered our Simba Hybride Mattress. I'm usually quite picking when it comes to my pillows but I thought 'What do I have to loose' and gave them a try. From the first night, I slept amazingly the pillow felt cool on my face (perfect for these summer months) and gave my head the perfect height I need for my sleep posture. I'd highly recommend these pillows to give you the best dreams you deserve.

From start to finish I just cannot fault the care and customer service that Simba gave me. My mattress topper and pillows are just divine. Even the delivery guys were brilliant. Simba did exactly what they said they would for me. I would recommend to anyone looking for a mattress. I brought the hybrid mattress and topper and after having several years of waking up I'm sleeping like a baby, thank you Simba your products are fantastic and your staff are a credit to you.

I really like mine, my husband is not keen on his. In my opinion, it is comfortable, supportive and great for side sleeping, I have always had feather pillows, but I like this one as much, it would probably be much easier to dry after washing it, than a feather pillow, quality of the fabric is excellent. Mine were free with the purchase of a mattress, and recommendation offer, I otherwise think the price is hefty for a pillow and would not have paid 120 for 2 pillows.

I decided to make an investment in myself when I purchased the Simba Hybrid bundle. I wasn't sure how different a duvet and pillows could be from my usual supermarket bought choice. I can honestly say I am so glad I went for the bundle. The whole package is pure bliss! I love the way my duvet lets me breathe, yet it feels just the right weight with enough flexibility for movement without ending up at my feet every morning! I would thoroughly recommend the bundle.

I orginally purchased a more expensive Levitex pillow, however after 1 week I returned it as it did not live up to expectation. I the purchased the Simba pillow, and I can in all honestly, it is by far the most comfortable pillowI have ever purchased. From day one, my sleep was greatly improved. 60 is excellent value for such a great product. I am genuinely very very happy with my purchase. Far better than I thought it would be. Thank you Simba!!!!

Great pillows very comfortable. Had the best night sleep. My other pillows I used to wake with neck pain. But now when I wake up I feel totally refreshed and ready for my day . Good price I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Best buy ever . Also my mattress. I have the simba original mattress and I have the best sleep ever. Good quality and a great price for the best sleep. I've already recommended it to my friend and family.

I've been using the SIMBA Stratos Pillow for a bit, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. On the plus side, it's got a nice balance of softness and support, and the cooling tech does help a bit with overheating. But honestly, it's a bit firmer than I expected, and I've woken up with a stiff neck a few times. It's not a bad pillow, but for the price, I was hoping for something a bit more comfortable. 3 out of 5 stars.

My wife had almost given up trying to find a pillow that didn't leave her with neck ache, the root cause of which was her crafting hobby. I suggested she try the Stratos pillow as we already have a Simba mattress. It was a little expensive, however we tried it and it was a great success. Her neck pain has been reduced and her sleeping through the night has also improved. So we are both very happy.

I was disappointed when the pillows first arrived as they are very soft and insubstantial. I was used to a firmer, more spongy pillow. However I tried them and was surprised to find the pillows are comfortable and they do provide sufficient support. I have used them for 2 months now and am sleeping well. The only disadvantage is that I now have several firm pillows that I no longer need!!

Very comfortable, people comment about how flat the pillows are, but if you put them in a standard size pillowcase they are automatically bulked up by compression. there is no problem at all. Simba even tells you that you can use pillow cases and still get the benefit of the cooling effect. Give it a try, you will be very pleased with the results. Cannot fault he poillows at all.

Hygienically sealed on arrival. Thought pillow seemed rather flat at first but once in covers and then in use it is surprisingly soft and yet supportive for my neck. I don't like firm, high pillows and like a soft surround for my head which the Stratos provides. Bought a Hybrid at the same time and swap between the two at the moment as both seem nice and supportive yet soft.

I find this pillow nice and cool plus a good height for side sleeping. I'm trying to encourage myself to sleep on my back as well and I think it's the right pillow for the job as it gives me support without straining my neck, and hopefully keeping spine aligned. Overall happy with purchase even though it takes a few nights to adjust but I would recommend this pillow.

I was initially sceptical as the pillows look thin vs a memory foam pillow (and I used to be a two pillow person) but these pillows were a great surprise. I can only describe them as 'crisp' like when you get the nice cold side of a pillow. Very comfy, very supporting, nice and cool. I got them as part of a referral bonus but would recommend anyone buying them.

We had 2 pillows free which was a good deal and so I haven't contacted Simba to advise that one of the pillows has completely dipped in the middle after less than 1 month of use. This is a shame as they were lovely and comfy to begin with. If I'd paid, I would contact simba and no doubt they would send a replacement based on their excellent customer service.

This pillow is comfortable albeit with a pillow underneath due to being, for me personally, on the thin side. However, I did also purchase for my 4 year old which seems perfect for him. It's cooling effect is satisfying and i look forward to seeing how this does in the summer months. The price is reasonable too. Overall I would recommend this product.

I'm thrilled with my Simba pillows! They strike the perfect balance between softness and support, providing a comfy night's sleep. The design minimizes pressure points, and they stay cool throughout. The quality is excellent, and it's evident that Simba prioritizes customer satisfaction. These pillows are a great investment for a better night's rest!

I am delighted to have found a pillow that offers both comfort and a good night's sleep. The Stratos pillow provides excellent support and adapts well to my sleeping position. It feels soft yet supportive, and I've noticed a real improvement in how rested I feel each morning. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their sleep experience.

I have now gone to just using the one pillow now I have a stratos instead of keeping funding different combinations of multiple pillows. It was great for first few weeks but I have noticed since that it is definitely losing its plumpness, height and shape after a month in. Hoping it doesn't continue to do so as it would be a shame for the price.

I've struggled with getting the right pillows for side sleeping for a long time- getting the right neck support and not being too flat or too high and the first night I used these it was a 'finally! ' moment. Immediately comfortable and no tossing and turning and pushing and poking. So pleased I bought these, worth every penny. Well done SIMBA!

No more neck or shoulder pain since receiving these pillows as a free gift (refer a friend). No more scrunching up pillows to try to get comfortable. When they arrived I wasn't very confident that they would be comfortable as they seemed quite thin. I was pleasantly proved wrong! Fantastic addition as part of the Simba experience! A must buy.

I've used it now for 2 weeks and I'm disappointed that I have not noticed any 'cooling' benefit from this, compared with my other down and synthetic pillows. This was one of the main reasons that I decided to buy this expensive pillow, as I have both rosacea and become overheated due to menopausal changes. I feel that I have wasted my money.

I'd pretty much come to expect waking up with a sore neck at this stage of my life, but these pillows (in addition to the marvellous new mattress) have left me waking up feeling like a happy giraffe. Although they look a lot thinner than I'd normally go for, they're actually the perfect. Long live the pillow scientists that invented them.

Felix G.

Very comfortable, would highly recommend. Quick delivery (next day) was also a great benefit. Pillow holds up well for temperature and comfort levels. I wasnt sure how the "cold side of the pillow" idea worked, but it does work and works well! If you are looking for something a bit different from the norm in your pillow, give it a go!

We got the stratos pillows as part of a great value bundle. They're very comfy and supportive. I have neck and shoulder muscle pains and these pillows help support both so I don't wake up feeling like I have a crick in my neck or my shoulders. They're medium firm and we have had them a month now and they still feel plump and supportive

I already have the Simba full-body pillow, so I knew the quality of the Stratos would be good. I love the 'stay cool' technology and the outer material of their pillows. Unfortunately, the Stratos didn't work for me, but the Simba team were great at understanding and sorting the refund. I'd definitely try more pillows from Simba!

These pillows actually cake free as part of a recommendation from a friend. Very good pillows, similar to our mattress you just notice right away how comfortable it is compared to your standard pillows. Pricey yes but as ours were free I cant complain. Certainly makes a difference and more comfortable than what we had before 100%

I received these pillows free of charge thanks to the recommendation code from a friend who also enjoyed their new Simba mattress. I'm glad I made the decision to take their advice! I've historically had a much bulkier pillow but find I'm sleeping much better with this one (though the better mattress is perhaps the main factor)

Have already got a couple of the Hybrid pillows and decided to buy the Stratos ones to compliment them. Quality great as expected. Slightly softer than expected but used will the hybrids provide a comfortable sleep. As with all Simba products a little expensive but that said, probably worth the money. Will buy again in future.

Perfect fullness and firmness, not too firm but not too flimsy! Feels airy to sleep on and not stuffy like some pillows. Previously I have woken up from my sleep and been quite sweaty on my head, since sleeping on the Stratos, there's no more sweaty head to wake up to. Feels a lot cleaner! Would fully recommend these pillows.

I have two of the Stratos pillows, after trying numerous feather, down, hollow fibre and memory foam pillows. These are the coolest and most comfortable so far. I've only had them a couple of weeks, so hoping that they maintain their shape and comfort, unlike so many others which deflate and become lumpy - so far, so good!

MELANIE H.

The pillows were a lot thinner than I was expecting, but in spite of that, with a pillow protector and case, they were actually ok. In fact I had a very good night's sleep with them. No nect stiffness at all. They really surprised me at how comfy they were. I needed 2 though when with other thicker pillows I only need 1.

One word sums this up!! Amazing ! Best sleep ever since I bought this.. pushed the boat out and bought bed frame duvet and pillows and mattress cover came free! VIP service great option as bed built and includes old one and mattress taken away save trip to dump or paying for council to take it away. Thank you Simba!

Bought this to use alongside my Simba Hybrid pillow, I also use it in conjunction with a V pillow (which I believe you should start producing) when chilling in bed watching tv or reading, as I'm getting older I like my comfort, this pillow provides that & aids my sleep, I've recommended it to many of my friends

Matteo R.

Amazing pillows. They have the right mix of softness and firmess and support my neck and head perfectly. I used to suffer from neck pain and really struggled to find the right balance with most pillows, but not with Stratos. And bonus points they are always cool and keep good circulation to your head and neck.

I have been suffering from neck pain for a while and just knew I had to invest in a good pillow. Shopping at SIMBA could not have been easier and delivery was quick. I will never look back this pillow is luxury and made my sleep better and pain free. Saving now for a mattress to finish off my bed of dreams

The cool-touch side with Stratos tech gives something you can feel - touch it and it's noticeably cooler to the skin. This helps especially if you tend to get hot at night. It has a cushioned, down-like softness while still giving some support. For back-sleeping (and for stomach sleeping, though less ideal)

Robbie J.

Couldn't recommend more. Great customer service as I placed the order over the phone to ensure I'd made the correct choice. Delivery team were excellent delivered with no fuss and collected old mattresses. It took me a week to adjust to the new mattress and now I'm sleeping better than I have for years.

I absolutely love this pillow, are very comfortable, my husband loves it as well,are very nice and soft.

I'm absolutely loving my Simba Stratos pillows! They provide the perfect mix of comfort and support, making every night's sleep incredibly restful. The cooling technology really works, keeping me comfortable throughout the night. Plus, for such great quality, the price is unbeatable. Highly recommend!

My daughter's are using these pillows after we bought the hybrid firm that we were overly impressed with. There is no comparison the hybrid is far superior but for young children this pillow is ideal. Nice and soft and both have said they are far more comfortable than their previous feather pillows.

Janet L.

Amazing to sleep soundly, comfortable and wake up pain free. I didn't think buying a Simba mattress would have such a positive impact. I fall asleep faster, I no longer continually toss and turn. As a result of all my joints being supported as I sleep I wake up pain free, refreshed and energised.

After debating between the different brands, I decided to settle on simba. I'm extremely glad I did, fabulous mattress, knowing there was the 200 night guarantee helped me make the purchase but after a couple of nights I knew that I'd made the right purchase. Good value for money in my opinion.

Alan O.

I've really enjoyed sleeping on this pillow. Not hot and sweaty, and nicely supportive. In fact, despite it not feeling as plump as my old-fashioned pillow, the best thing I can say about it is that I haven't really noticed it, and haven't had to keep re-adjusting as I did with my old pillow.

Bilal A.

The pillow is very nice , gives you cool feelings, It is slightly soft and low for me , And it is not simpa fault, I prefer the the pillow to be higher with more Support, Anyway I will still choose Simba for any sleep related things as my sleep improved since I know this wonderful products

It's very comfy. It supports my neck well and I don't wake up with neck pains anymore. I hate changing my pillow, because 90% of the time it's too big or too soft, but this one turned out to be a right fit for my needs. It's not very thick and it has the right balance between soft and firm.

After wasting money on mattresses and toppers I finally bought a simba, best buy ever, far less pain on waking feel so supported when I sleep, the pillows are an added bonus, as they are the best as well, wish I had saved myself money and my poor body and just bought the simba sooner

Shanice M.

Really glad that I got these pillows, that much so that all of the pillow on my bed now are simba pillows. I'm not too sure how I use to sleep on my old pillows now when I look back. They perfectly support your neck and head. Don't think I will ever use any other pillows from now on!

Danny O.

Considering this pillow isn't the best pillow to buy from simba it's still an excellant pillow. However the hybrid pillows are really really good. But this pillow is second best. Value for money is there however it could be a little lesser considering the effectiveness of the pillow.

We were looking for new pillows, so when orderinv our simba mattress we decided to give these a try, we were not disappointed. Very happy with pillows, they are really comfortable. along with our new simba mattress we are delighted with our purchase and getting a great night's sleep

Pillow not as foam filled as I had hoped/expected from product description. Have used a simba memory foam filled pillow in the past which was superb but no longer appears to be available? Having said that, my neck feels better than it did before and I am getting less discomfort now.

The pillows felt extremely thin when I opened them. They are slightly noisy too when putting them into covers. They are comfortable though. As a side sleeper I have a thinner one under and that gives me enough support when sleeping. I've not had any neck pain since using one.

I love the new pillows. My old ones retained alot of heat and provided little support to head and neck. With simba pillows cubed memory foam and latest technology. My neck is now fully supported and is very breathable allowing for reduced uncomfortable heat during sleeps.

I threw away a bunch of old pillows and replaced them with the Simba pillows after reading the reviews. Firm with the right amount of give and not too hot. I'm very satisfied but the reason I haven't gone for 5 stars is that they do come in a bit thicker than I expected.

Emma L.

Really comfy, good quality pillows. We got them as a free gift after being recommended by my brother, best decision we made. They stay cool on both sides, no matter how quick you change them. Lovely and medium density, no neck pain or needing extra padding. Just right.

The Stratos pillow is an absolute all round good pillow. The softness to firmness is just right which is a delight. Simba has a great promotion system which is what enticed me to order this product. I will definitely be getting more of Simbas products. Fully recommend.

After purchasing Simba hybrid pro mattress I was keen to have these pillows. However I am not fully satisfied with this purchase. The pillow sinks in and somehow does not give comfort, I am a side sleeper and have lower back issues, thus not suitable for my need.

I am a bit specific when it comes to a good pillow. The Simba Pillow bit better than average but personally I could love a bit more to it. It feels lovely and airy, but maybe my personal preference is for a slightly chunkier number. LOVE the mattress though.

I suffer from sinus issues which result in me requiring numerous pillows to prop myself up, these pillows are fantastic for such a purposes. They are soft enough to feel comfort and still strong enough that you don't sink into them when ontop of each other.

I found these pillows to be quite uncomfortable and not supporting my neck. I had a bad night sleep whenever I use these pillows. If you are sensitive about the support to your neck, these pillows are definitely not worth the price and effort.

Bought this pillow for my wife as she couldn't find a suitable one, plus she can get hot during the night. She absolutely loves it, extremely comfortable and keeps her cool. Hopefully I will win the drawer and be able to buy one for myself.

This pillow is good, but it is very soft. I made the decision to get these because they were bundled in with my mattress purchase. Took a little adjustment to get used to these over my older pillow but a worthy investment overall I believe.

Arrived packaged very well, but pillow is quite flat and not something I would pick by choice. I was able to purchase this pillow completely free so no complaints there and therefore completes my bed set nicely with a pair of other pillows.

Questions and Answers About The Simba Sleep Stratos® Pillow

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Tonino23

Is the Stratos Pillow made with any specific materials to offer support for the neck and head?

Answer: Absolutely, significant thought has been put into the construction of this item. The hybrid design includes both feathers and clusters of memory foam which work together to provide optimal support for the head and neck throughout the night. The configuration ensures that, regardless of your sleeping position, there is ample support and pressure relief.

Mark L.

Providing that I'm an individual who sweats a lot at night, how well does the Stratos Pillow handle its breathability?

Answer: Interestingly, the Stratos Pillow has excellent breathability due to its design and material composition. It features open-cell structures that encourage airflow and help wick away moisture, this paired with the use of sustainably sourced cotton in the pillow cover, should improve your overall sleep experience, even if you're prone to night sweats.

christine smith

How would you recommend to clean and maintain the Stratos Pillow for longevity?

Answer: Great care should be taken while cleaning and maintaining the product to ensure its longevity. The Stratos Pillow comes with a removable cover that can be detached and machine washed at 40C. However, the core of the pillow should be spot cleaned only. Regular fluffing and rotation can also help prolong the life of the pillow.

Sophie K

Does the Stratos Pillow have adjustable firmness or filling for different comfort preferences?

Answer: Regrettably, no modification feature is offered with the Simba Stratos Pillow's inner filling or firmness. The design provides a balanced mix of softness and support, incorporating both memory foam clusters and feathers, offering a plush, yet supportive sleeping surface that suits a broad range of comfort preferences.

Verified Reviewer

Does the Stratos Pillow have a trial period for testing its comfort before making a final decision?

Answer: Regrettably, the Stratos Pillow does not come with a trial period where you can return it if you aren't satisfied with the comfort. It's always recommended to carefully consider your comfort preferences before investing in a new pillow, read reviews and, if possible, test in store beforehand.
