EVE ORIGINAL VS. SIMBA HYBRID

While both the Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid are excellent, high-quality mattresses, they differ remarkably in composition and comfort.

We'll discuss this in more detail in the next section.

The Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid are two very different mattresses.

Eve Original

The Eve Original mattress is made up of three different high-quality foam layers.

It has a high level of elasticity and provides great support, promoting optimal spinal alignment and reducing pressure points.

This allows your muscles to relax fully while you're sleeping.

The 3 foam layers in the Eve Original are:

• A top layer of evecomfort® cold foam with open cells
• A core of viscoelastic memory foam
• A base layer with seven contour zones

The Eve Original is a medium-firm mattress that’s well suited to the majority of people and sleeping preferences.

Classic design & breathable cover

The Eve Original mattress offers a classically-designed feel with a white top cover and yellow sides.

The cover is breathable, which is great for airflow in the mattress.

It also has a non-slip coating at the bottom to keep your mattress firmly on your bed frame.

The Eve Original cover is fully removable and can be machine-washed at 40°.

Simba Hybrid

The Simba Hybrid is a four-layer hybrid mattress that combines a variety of different materials.

These 4 layers are:

• A top layer of Simbatex synthetic latex foam
• A core of Aerocoil pocket springs
• An additional layer of high-definition memory foam
• A cold foam base layer

This combination gives you the best of all the different materials, including greater breathability, superior pressure distribution, stability, and an overall cooler sleep.

Hypoallergenic cover

The Simba Hybrid features a white-and-grey hypoallergenic cover that offers great breathability.

Unfortunately, the Simba Hybrid mattress cover cannot be removed or machine-washed.

Simba Sleep recommends spot-cleaning the cover if necessary and investing in a mattress protector to expand the life of your mattress and protect it from dirt, stains, and bacteria.

We'd recommend the Simba mattress protector.

Even though the Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid mattresses are both excellent choices, they differ remarkably in terms of firmness level, the feeling of lying down, and comfort.

Notably, though, the Eve Original is much firmer than the Simba Hybrid.

We've rated the Eve Original as a 6.5 and the Simba Hybrid as a 4 out of 10.

Choose the Eve Original if you like medium-firm mattresses

Since the Eve Original is firmer, it will be better suited to a wide range of people, body types, and sleeping positions.

It may also be well-suited to heavier-weight sleepers, but it is still not a firm mattress.

Heavier-weight people may still sink in too deeply and may require a firmer mattress - or even an innerspring mattress.

The Eve Original is a good choice if you like medium-firm mattresses.

In a nutshell, choose the Eve Original if you:

• Are of average build
• Sleep on your side, back, or stomach
• Prefer medium-firm to firm mattresses

Choose the Simba Hybrid if you prefer a cooler sleep

The Simba Hybrid combines latex foam, pocket springs, cold foam, and memory foam into a unique hybrid mattress.

The combination of the different foams and springs allows for better airflow and breathability, which provides for a much cooler sleep than pure memory foam mattresses.

Even though the Eve Original uses new generation memory foam, which is much cooler than standard memory foam, it still cannot compare to the hybrid nature of the Simba Hybrid mattress.

The Simba Hybrid mattress is also a lot softer than the Eve Original - we've ranked it at 4 out of 10 on the Sleep Hero firmness scale.

This makes the mattress suitable for those who prefer a softer sleeping surface, as well as lighter people and those who prefer to sleep on their side or back.

In a nutshell, choose the Simba Hybrid if you:

• Are of light or average build
• Are a restless sleeper
• Prefer to sleep a little cooler
• Like to sleep on your side or back

BUY SIMBA HYBRID

The prices of these two mattresses depend greatly on the size of the mattress.

In general, though, the Eve Original is considerably cheaper than the Simba Hybrid mattress.

The Eve Original is also the only mattress that comes in the 200 x 200 cm emperor size.

That said, the Simba Hybrid is available in European sizes as well, which is worth considering if you've moved to the UK from abroad and/or have bedding or a bed frame in an EU size.

Both brands offer free delivery

Both the Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid are based on the bed-in-a-box or mattress-in-a-box principle, where the mattress is delivered straight to your front door, rolled up and compressed in a compact box.

The boxes have been designed to fit through narrow passageways and can easily be handled by one person.

Both the Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid have a fast delivery time, and delivery is free of charge.

Once unpacked, the mattresses will slowly inflate to their original sizes.

Simba Sleep used to offer removal of your old mattress, but this is currently halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Eve Sleep still offers their remove and recycle service, at an additional cost of £35.

The Simba Hybrid has a longer risk-free trial period

Both mattresses also come with a risk-free trial period, which gives you the chance to try the mattress in your own home and allow your body to get used to the new bed.

The Eve Original has a 100-day trial period.

For the Simba Hybrid, though, you'll get a 200-night trial period.

If you decide that the mattress isn't right for you at any point during the trial period, you can simply return the mattress and receive a full refund.

Both brands organise the respective returns and refunds.

10-year guarantee

Both the Eve Original and the Simba Hybrid come with a 10-year guarantee.
