Simba has added an intriguing new model to its mattress lineup: the Simba GO, an organic hybrid and the first from the brand to use latex. The key thing about the GO is that it has been designed specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Simba says it generates half the carbon emissions of a ‘traditional hybrid mattress’. It’s made from an innovative mix of natural, organic and recycled materials, and is entirely recyclable at the end of its life too (in fact, all of Simba’s mattresses technically are, but the GO is easier to disassemble, partly because it doesn’t have any chemical glue in it).
“Today, our mission is to not only be the most innovative sleep tech brand in the world, but also the most responsible,” says Simba’s Emma Reid.
Simba makes what we think is thebest UK mattressright now. You can read about its range in ourSimba Original review,Simba Hybrid Pro review(that’s the one in the #1 spot) andSimba Hybrid Luxe review. With a Double Go coming with an RRP of £2,149, this new addition is firmly at the luxury end of the market, although be aware that regularSimba mattress salesmean you can expect to only pay around 60% of that (there’s40% off right now, for example).

Simba has been gradually adding layers with every new mattress it releases, but this time it has pared things back a bit with a relatively restrained six. That’s probably because it has had to shake things up with new materials and technologies in its quest for sustainability.
At the top, a 95% organic cotton cover,GOTScertified for ethical working conditions and environmentally conscious production techniques (conventionally grown cotton isn’t as sustainable as you might assume). It’s designed to have cooling properties, but unfortunately it’s not removable for washing, as you’ll find with most of the rest of Simba’s range. Right now, Simba is throwing in a free mattress protector, though.
Next, a layer of padding made with something known as ‘Simba Renew’. No word on exactly what that’s made from, but we do know it’s 75% recycled fibres, and it’s designed to discourage dust mites too. It’ll make the sleep surface comfier to lie on, as well as creating space for air to circulate, which should help with temperature regulation too (you don’t want to be lying directly on Latex).

We’re back in more familiar territory with the next layer: up to 2,000 of Simba’s patented, cone-shaped Aerocoil springs. They’re small but strong, for uniform support. That sits atop more springs, this time in the form of an ‘Activecore’ base. This one is zoned to create different amounts of pressure in different areas, and Simba has also added firmer springs around the perimeter of the mattress, so you don’t roll off if you get too close to the edge. Finally, the GO base, which is made from entirely recycled fibres.
