Simba Hybrid Firm pillow composition
The Simba Hybrid Firm pillow is an award-winning product in the Simba range.
This pillow has a different design from the Simba Hybrid pillow, with microfibre layers and a firm mini pocket spring layer instead of Nanocube foam.
But both pillows are fully adjustable.
The Simba Hybrid Firm layers include:
- 100% BCI cotton cover with Stratos technology
- Two Simba Renew microfibre pillow layers
- Aerocoil Firm layer
But what makes these layers so unique? 👇
Simba Renew layers
The two Simba Renew pillow layers are filled with super-soft microfibre, giving a luxurious feather and down-like feel.
They provide a soft, cosy surface that gently cushions the head and shoulders.
You can sleep on this soft side or the firmer Aerocoil layer.
We preferred sleeping with the fibre layer on top for a soft and squishier feel. ☁️
Aerocoil layer
The Aerocoil firm layer combines Aerocoil springs and Simba pure foam for optimum support. ✨
Simba Pure foam is inspired by NASA [1], who created the first memory foam products to absorb G-shock during space travel.
The Simba Pure foam relieves pressure on the head and neck.
Meanwhile, the Aerocoil springs support the head and minimise motion. ⛵
The spring layer supports the head across each individual area and reduces the transfer of movement.
The mini pocket springs are each encased in a single pocket for individualised support.
Overall, we were very impressed with this layer.
The Aerocoil layer is one of the most advanced features we've seen in a pillow.
Simba Hybrid Firm pillow cover
Now, let's talk about the Simba Firm pillow cover.
Crafted from sustainable cotton through the Better Cotton Initiative [2], it promotes sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of cotton production. 🌿
All Simba products are pro-planet, which means they are free from TCPP [3], parabens, biocides, and other harmful chemicals.
The hypoallergenic cover features a breathable mesh border, allowing excess heat to escape for a cooler night's sleep.
We appreciate the high-quality feel and the stylish hexagon pattern, which adds a premium touch.
It's also worth noting that the blue and grey border will shine through white pillowcases, which could be inconvenient to some.
We did encounter a slight hiccup – the zipper broke as we tried to remove the cover.
While this was disappointing for such a premium product, we understand that occasional issues can occur.
Thankfully, the 1-year guarantee should cover this fault. 🛡️
Is the Simba Hybrid Firm pillow comfortable?
The Simba Hybrid Firm pillow is unique because it has customisable layers, ensuring you're well-supported in every sleeping position. 💪
Side sleeping
Side sleepers generally need a high loft and medium-firm pillow to bridge the gap between the head and shoulder.
Simba suggests using all three layers for this position.
However, your comfort will depend on individual factors, such as your body shape and firmness preference. 💁
As we found during our testing, you might be more at ease with just two layers in the side position.
This creates a slightly lower loft, preventing your neck from bending upwards too much.
You can also choose between sleeping directly on the firmer (Aerocoil layer) or the softer (fibre layer) side.
For side sleepers, we recommend the firmer side.
Back sleeping
Back sleepers need a medium loft pillow to align the spine and neck.
Combining the Aerocoil layer with one fibre layer offered a comfortable solution for this position.
It's best to rest your head on the softer fibre layer, which provides a snug cushion when sleeping on your back. ☁️
This relieves pressure on the head and shoulders, while the Aerocoil layer supports the back and minimises the transfer of motion to keep your head supported throughout the night.
Stomach sleeping
Stomach sleeping can put more strain on your spine, so using a low, soft pillow - or even sleeping without a pillow - is ideal.
For front sleepers, we suggest using just one soft microfibre layer. ✅
Ultimately, the Simba Firm pillow is adaptable to every person and sleeping position if you're willing to make adjustments.
How firm is the Simba Hybrid Firm pillow?
Well, the clue's in the name - Simba Hybrid Firm pillow! 😅
But you can adjust the firmness and loft to suit your needs.
You can sleep with the firmer Aerocoil layer at the top or flip over to the fibre layer for a soft, down-like sensation. 🔄
The firmness you require depends on your individual preference, body shape, and sleeping position.
Your neck should be straight and aligned with the spine in your regular sleeping position.
If your neck feels strained, try removing a layer or flipping the pillow over for a softer feel. ☁️
When first using the pillow, we recommend laying on it for ten minutes to ensure it's suitable before you drift off into dreamland. 😴
After all, you don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with an achy neck!
Does the Simba Hybrid Firm pillow sleep cool?
In addition to providing comfort and support, the Simba Hybrid Firm pillow also features cooling technology to help you sleep at the perfect body temperature.
This includes:
- A cotton cover with temperature-regulating Stratos technology
- Breathable Renew fibres
- Pocket springs that promote airflow
- A mesh border that allows excess heat to flow out of the pillow
The Simba Hybrid Firm pillow contains Stratos technology. 🌡️
These are microcapsules that are contained in the fabric and absorb excess heat for optimal temperature regulation.
This excess heat dissipates through the gaps of the pocket springs and out of the mesh border.
We highly recommend this pillow for hot sleepers searching for a cooler pillow option. ❄️
Can the Simba Hybrid Firm pillow be washed?
The Simba Hybrid Firm pillow has washable components.
Follow this guide for full washing instructions:
| Washing instructions | |
| Cover and filled microfibre pads | Machine washable at 40°C & tumble dry on low heat |
| Spring pad | Sponge clean only |
| Simba Pure foam | Do not wash |
While you can wash most parts of the Simba Firm pillow, you have to separate the spring pad and foam from the washable layers. 🔧
This adds more fuss than just popping the entire pillow into the washing machine.

Simba Hybrid Firm pillow price
The Simba Hybrid Firm pillow price starts at over £150, which is quite expensive compared to other products on the market.
However, it's worth noting that this pillow is more premium than standard microfibre pillows. 🌟
When it comes to pillows, you often get what you pay for.
Cheap, hollowfibre pillows may go flat or lumpy quickly and aren't designed to support your head and neck like the Simba Firm pillow.
But the lack of a trial and a short guarantee can make it harder to justify this high price. 💰
Purchasing a good value pillow within your budget is important.
The Emma pillow and Panda Hybrid pillow include 30-night trials, so you aren't stuck with them if they don't provide the proper support.
Moreover, the Emma pillow comes with a 2-year guarantee, while the Panda pillow has an impressive 10-year guarantee, making them much better value options. 👍
