Simba has added a fourth model to its excellent mattress range. The Simba Hybrid Essential features a pared-back design and more purse-friendly price tag, but uses the same materials – namely Aerocoil microsprings and Simbatex foam – that you’ll find in the brand’s pricier offerings. And more good news: despite being new to the family, theSimba Hybrid Essential is currently 40% off, which means a Double comes in under £500.

Simba is the brand behind our #1best mattress UKright now – theSimba Hybrid Pro, which sat in the middle of the range until the Essential joined the party. We’re also huge fans of the range-toppingSimba Hybrid Luxeand originalSimba Hybrid Original. The Essential is cheaper and simpler in design than all of those.

Strictly speaking, it might not be completely new, because there’s been a Simba Essential as part of theSimba Amazon rangefor a while now – although this is the first time it’s been included on the brand’s own site. At RRP, the Double is £829, which is far from what we’d consider a ‘cheap’ price, but this brand has very regular sales (like this current one) that mean you can probably expect to only pay 60-70% of that price. Head to ourSimba mattress salespage orSimba discount codespage to see how you can save. (Or if you’re looking for something cheaper, we have a selection of even more wallet-friendly options in ourbest cheap mattressguide.)

At the top, you’ll find a soft, hand-knitted and hypoallergenic sleep surface. It’s not removable for washing, which is to be expected at this price (in fact, none of Simba’s mattresses have zip-off covers – it’s one area where the brand falls down compared to competitors). Adecent mattress protectorwill do the trick though, if you’re prone to spillages.

Next up is a later of open cell Simbatex. This is a type of foam that appears in all of Simba’s mattresses, and is designed to provide comfort and pressure-relief without trapping too much body heat, as memory foam can sometimes do. It’s also infused with graphite, which apparently draws heat away from the body. I’m not sure about that, but I will say the Simba mattresses I’ve slept on do a good job of not heating up overnight, so I have high hopes for this one.
