Simba Hybrid Luxe Mattress Review UK (2023)

So, how firm is the Simba Hybrid Luxe? 🤔

Just like the Simba Hybrid Pro and Simba Hybrid, this one-size-fits-all mattress comes in a medium-firm feel.

This makes it ideal for most people who sleep on their side and back

However, though it's rated as a medium-firm mattress, what feels firmer to some may feel softer to others. 🧱🧸

Always consider individual factors when reading mattress reviews, such as your weight and sleeping position.

How deep do you sink into the Simba Hybrid Luxe?

The Simba Hybrid Luxe might have a slightly ‘plusher’ feel, which hugs better around the body than the previous Simba models.

This is mostly due to the extra layers of Simba-Pure foam, which allow for extra sinking. ⚓

The edge-support system was less effective when weight was contained in one single spot.

We found that the edge support system performed most well when weight was distributed evenly across the mattress.

As you can see from the images below, The Simba Hybrid and Simba Hybrid Pro appear to sink much less during our edge test. 👇

However, it’s important to point out that other factors may have contributed. 💭

For example, the tester is sitting slightly closer towards the middle of the other Simba mattresses, which will have offered better support.

The composition of the Simba Hybrid Luxe makes it a great buy for restless sleepers and couples. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

The combination of pocket springs and high-quality Simba-Pure foam makes the perfect recipe for a low motion transfer mattress.

Motion transfer is how much movement is isolated in the mattress.

For example, if you feel your partner getting out of bed during the night, your mattress likely has high motion isolation. ⛵

A low motion mattress stays still across the entire mattress, preventing that bouncy feeling.

This also helps to prevent restless sleepers from tossing and turning throughout the night.

Mattresses with pocket springs and/or memory foam typically offer great motion isolation.

Who said a bed-in-a-box mattress had to be basic? 🤔

Simba Sleep has created their most advanced mattress yet in the Simba Hybrid Luxe.

This premium mattress is the "daddy bear" of the 3 Simba mattresses, made with 10 layers of high-quality materials.

No wonder this mattress is so deep - 31cm to be exact! 🤯

That's a whole 6 cm deeper than the Simba Hybrid!

40% OFF SIMBA HYBRID LUXE

However, our Simba Hybrid Luxe measured at just under 30 cm.

The eleven mattress layers of the Simba Hybrid Luxe are:

• Breathable top cover
• Natural bamboo wool layer
• Graphite infused Simbatex
• Two layers of 25mm Aerocoil springs
• CertiPUR stability layer
• Aerocoil spring support layer
• No roll-off SupportCore base
• Simba ReGen base layer

So, what do these layers actually do? 👇

Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress layers

1. Natural bamboo wool layer

The natural bamboo wool layer is one of the unique aspects of this premium-range mattress. 🐼

Bamboo is a fantastic organic material for sleep products, which is becoming increasingly popular in products.

As bamboo is hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial, it's a great choice for those with allergies. 🤧

The top layer of bamboo wool wicks away moisture and dries fast.

This makes it a great option for those that sweat often during sleep.

The bamboo wool sleep surface is also thermal regulating. 🌡️

This means it will keep you toasty on those chilly nights and help to disperse heat during the summer months.

2. Graphite infused Simbatex

Open-cell graphite-infused foam with cooling technology. ❄️

This advanced foam is as soft and comfortable as memory foam but with better ventilation.

Simbatex has 30 times the airflow of memory foam for a noticeably cooler sleep.

The open-cell structure of the foam allows better circulation and the graphite infusion encourages cooling. 🌬️

This makes it much more breathable and adaptable than polyurethane foam found in regular memory foam mattresses.

The advanced memory foam moulds around the body to provide instant pressure relief. 🤗

Most polyurethane foam mattresses are made with TCPP (a toxic flame retardant) to meet fire safety regulations. 🔥

Exposure over time to TCPP can be harmful to your health.

Simba-Pure is free from TCPP, parabens, phosphates and other organic pollutants whilst still exceeding fire regulations.

4. Two layers of Aerocoil pocket springs (2.5cm/ 1 inch)

Many hybrid mattresses have a base layer of pocket springs with a comfort layer of memory foam. 💭

However, the Aerocoil springs in the Simba Hybrid Luxe serve an entirely different function.

Simba double-up the 25 mm Aerocoil springs to create a dynamic comfort spring system.

The spring layer gives the mattress a more flexible feel which adapts with the body alongside the Simba-Pure foam. 🥰

6. Carbon steel spring layer (4 cm/ 1.5 inches)

The second spring layer adds an additional layer of flexibility. 🤸

Placed strategically between two Simba-Pure foam layers, this layer not only provides comfort but an advanced circulation system.

The larger springs also deliver some pliable support that works with the body rather than against it.

40% OFF SIMBA HYBRID LUXE

The Simba Hybrid Luxe offers the most individual support with up to 4000 springs.

7. CertiPUR stability layer

The CertiPUR foam layer contributes to the stability of the mattress.

It acts as an intermediary between the Aerocoil spring layer and the SupportCore base while simultaneously promoting airflow.

8. SupportCore base layer

The Simba Hybrid Pro is now made with a spring foundation.

This base incorporates up to 1000 barrel springs, offering full body support up to the edges and eliminating any sagging.

These deep, barrel-shaped springs are constructed from tempered steel.

Using a spring base is not only more environmentally friendly but also makes the mattress more breathable.

9. ReGen base layer

This setup also includes a layer of Simba ReGen surplus foam.

All the foam incorporated aligns with the CertiPUR standard, ensuring it is devoid of any environmental pollutants and hazardous substances.

The Simba Hybrid Luxe is available in most UK sizes.

The Simba Hybrid Luxe comes in the following sizes:

• Simba Hybrid Luxe single size: 90 x 190 cm (3’ x 6’3”)
• Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress small double size: 120 x 190 cm (4' x 6'3")
• Simba Hybrid Luxe double size: 135 x 190 cm (4.4” x 6’3”)
• Simba Hybrid Luxe king size: 150 x 200 cm (5’ x 6’6”)
• Simba Hybrid Luxe super king: 180 x 200 cm (6’ x 6’6”)

However, it is not currently available in small single, emperor or EU-size mattresses.

If you need one of these sizes, consider the Simba Hybrid or Simba Hybrid Pro.

Simba Hybrid Luxe depth

As previously mentioned, the Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress is extra-deep, measuring 31cm (although ours fell a few centimetres short of this.)

You might feel like the Princess and the Pea on this mattress, but it’s not always ideal to sleep on one so deep. 🤔

For the elderly and physically ailed, we would recommend a thinner mattress which will make getting in and out of bed much easier. 👵👨‍🦽

Alternatively, lower bed frames can be bought which will help to accommodate the extra height.

Another downfall of deep mattresses is that ultra-deep sheets will need to be purchased.

Aeyla Eucalyptus Silk Sheets can fit a mattress up to 36 cm deep. 🤯

These sheets also have natural cooling and moisture-wicking properties, making them the perfect choice for this mattress.

So, we’ve prattled on about Simba mattresses – but what else do they have to offer?

Simba Sleep has a whole range of sleep accessories for you to try. 😍

These include:

• Simba Hybrid Pillow, with removable Nanocube memory foam
• Simba Hybrid Duvet, with temperature-regulating technology
• Simba Hybrid Topper, made with advanced Simba-Pure foam
• Simba Performance Mattress Protector, made from 200-thread cotton and waterproof layers

These are our favourites:

Every Simba Sleep mattress comes with a money-back 200-day trial. ⏳

This means you get a whopping 200 days to sleep on the mattress before deciding if you want to keep it.

In the unlikely event that you don’t get on with it, contact the Simba team and they will arrange a collection and full refund.

40% OFF SIMBA HYBRID LUXE

Most retailers only offer between 30 - 40 nights for a sleep trial, whilst online brands are typically up to 100 nights. ⏲️

Is the Simba Hybrid Luxe really the best mattress in their collection? 🤔

The Simba Hybrid Luxe is a top-of-the-range mattress that exceeds its predecessors in both quality and price.

If you’re looking to splash the cash on a high-quality mattress for a premium sleep experience, then the Simba Hybrid Luxe is a no-brainer.

However, if you can’t quite stretch the budget, then consider the Simba Hybrid or Simba Hybrid Pro instead.

There are but a few subtle differences in the Simba Hybrid Pro at a fraction of the cost.

So, you can save the pennies and sleep like a log at the same time. 💰💤
