Simba Mattress Construction

Layers

There are four different layers of Simba mattress. Each layer has its own specific properties and purpose.

  • The top layer is 5 cm thick and is made of latex foam. Latex has natural cooling properties so the purpose of this layer is to offer breathable comfort, cooling, and bounce.
  • The second layer consists of microcoils. These microcoils are encased in 2 cm of foam. They are sandwiched between the first and the third layer and help the mattress contour to the shape of your body, hence getting rid of pressure points.
  • The third layer of the Simba mattress is a supportive layer. It helps the mattress stay in shape and prevents it from sinking further than it should. It is made of memory foam and acts as a transitional layer. It also helps the mattress conform to the sleeper’s body.
  • The fourth layer is the base layer of the Simba mattress. It is 15 cm thick and is made of high-density foam. According to Simba, the base layer has seven different zones that allow the mattress to bear everyone’s weight. It is slip-resistant, durable, and offers firm support.

Cover

The cover of the Simba mattress is sleek yet simple. It has an elegant finish as it is white and has grey panels.

The cover is made of hypoallergenic polyester fabric which is very breathable. Because of this, it stays cool throughout the night. It also gives a cozy feeling and is soft to touch. There is no foam integrated into the cover which makes it remain breathable.

Another great property of the cover is that it stretches according to the pressure applied and bounces back to its original shape. The temperature control of the cover will surely keep you refreshed all night and help provide a cool, comfortable sleeping experience.

Cooling

Simba mattress is cool because of a number of reasons.

  • Its cover is breathable and soft and allows airflow through all the layers of the mattress.
  • The top layer is made of latex. Although it is synthetic latex, it still has great cooling properties.
  • The combination of coil springs, Simbatex (first layer with synthetic latex), and cover offers an enhanced cooling effect.
  • The cover and coil springs of the mattress encourage breathability and airflow, while Simbatex sleeps cool.
  • Furthermore, the memory layer of the mattress conforms well to the sleeper’s body and prevents hot spots from forming because of high pressure.

All in all, you won’t feel hot while sleeping on the Simba mattress.

Simba mattress has been designed to fit most individuals’ needs. You will get a medium to firm mattress feel when you sleep on a Simba mattress. Thanks to the memory foam layer and microcoils, the Simba mattress offers some sinkage and bounce.

  • Stomach sleepers will also find the Simba mattress a great choice for their preferences and needs because of its contours to the sleeper’s body well without giving stomach sleepers the feeling that they are swallowed by the mattress.

All in all, the firmness of the Simba mattress will please the majority of sleepers.

Motion Transfer

Simba is one of the best mattresses as far as motion transfer is concerned.

It has minimal motion transfer, so if you are a couple and your partner constantly moves throughout the night, then you will not be disturbed as the movement will not be transferred. This will lead to a higher quality of sleep.

Consumers have given the top rating for the motion transfer of Simba mattresses; no tossing, turning, moving, or even jumping is transferred to the other parts of the mattress’ service.

Because of great motion transfer properties, the Simba mattress is excellent for couples. According to some, this is the key selling point of the Simba mattress.

Edge Support

Simba is a thick and tall mattress which is made for support and comfort. It has average edge support.

The edge support of Simba mattress differs for lighter and heavier individuals. Edge support is worse for lighter individuals as compared to heavier individuals. This noticeable difference is due to the difference in the comfort layers used in the mattress. Soft comfort layers are 9 cm thick while the firm support layers are 6 cm thick. These layers affect the edge very quickly as you sit down.

So heavier individuals will notice less compression from the top layers as compared to lighter individuals.

Smell/Eco-Friendliness

Although Simba mattress has a small layer of memory foam, it still has a noticeable initial smell. However, the off-gassing is not entirely off-putting. You will need to leave the mattress in a room with the windows open and the smell will disappear within a few days.

As far as eco-friendliness is concerned, Simba puts great effort to make sure that their mattress manufacturing process is as eco-friendly as possible. Any waste foam that is left after the manufacturing process is sold to be used in other products such as cushion products, PE mats, flooring underlay, etc. Furthermore, the mattress is delivered in a box in the rolled form to reduce the carbon footprint effect while it is being delivered.

In a nutshell, the Simba mattress is very eco-friendly.
