Our verdict

Simba suits buyers in Great Britain who want a long window to judge a hybrid mattress, pairing a 200 night in-home trial with a 10 year warranty. The trade-off is the £1,399 queen price and a single listed firmness, so budget buyers should look closer at cheaper hybrids.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A 200 night in-home trial, well above the 60 night median across tracked brands.
  • A 10 year warranty against a 5 year median across tracked brands.
  • Free delivery with old mattress removal, so the £1,399 queen price is the whole outlay.
  • A return fee of £0, so ending a trial costs nothing in fees.

Cons

  • The £1,399 queen price ranks 37 of 50 brands, so the outlay is mid-market rather than at the budget end.
  • Only medium firm is listed as the feel, so buyers who want a softer or firmer surface have nothing to switch to.
  • Simba lists hybrid mattresses, while Eve Sleep lists hybrid and memory foam for shoppers comparing a foam option.

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want a long home trial before committing, since the trial runs 200 nights.
  • Anyone who values cover after the trial, with 10 years of warranty behind the mattress.
  • Shoppers who want the delivery handled, since delivery is free, old mattress removal is available and delivery takes 0 to 3 weeks.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Newton Baby buyers after a shorter commitment: its trial runs 100 nights against 200 nights at Simba.
  • Coop Sleep Goods shoppers happy with a shorter window, since its trial is 100 nights.
  • Eve Sleep buyers after a foam option, as Simba lists hybrid against hybrid and memory foam there.

Core features

The Hybrid Pro mattress stands 28 cm tall, which is worth checking against the gap between your bed frame and any headboard or footboard before ordering. The in-home trial runs 200 nights, so the mattress is judged on your own bed in your own room rather than on a showroom floor. After the trial, the warranty covers 10 years. Delivery is free, and old mattress removal is available on the same order, so the outgoing mattress does not need arranging separately or hauling to a tip yourself.

Prices

The queen price on the Hybrid Pro mattress is £1,399, and delivery is free, so that figure lands as the full outlay rather than a starting point with extras attached later. If the trial ends and the mattress goes back, the return fee is £0, which takes away the usual penalty for changing your mind. For anyone weighing the number, the useful comparison is against what the trial and the warranty add: a mid-market ticket price backed by a long trial is a different proposition from a cheaper model with a short one.

How it compares on our data

On queen price, Simba places 37 of 50 brands, which puts the ticket price in the middle of the market rather than at the cheap or premium end. Trial length is where it stands out: 7 of 83 brands, well above the 60 night median. The warranty is more ordinary at 26 of 73 brands, though the term still beats the 5 year median. Read together, the trial is the reason to look here and the warranty simply keeps pace.

The company behind it

Simba trades as Simba Sleep Limited, registered in the United Kingdom and founded in 1979, so there is a named company behind the site rather than a trading name alone. Customer contact runs through email, chat and phone, which means phone and chat sit alongside email and a help centre. That mix suits questions that need a person rather than a form, whether the subject is a delivery slot, an old mattress collection or a warranty claim years down the line.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a queen Simba mattress?+

The queen price on the Hybrid Pro mattress is £1,399. That figure is the ticket price for the range's flagship model, and it sits mid-market rather than at the budget or premium end of what we track. Compare it against the trial and the warranty before judging the value, since a long trial changes how much risk the price carries.

How long is the trial, and can I sleep on it at home?+

The trial runs 200 nights in your own home, so the mattress is judged on your own bed and in your own room rather than in a showroom. That is well beyond the 60 night median across the brands we track, and long enough to see a change of season before you decide.

Is there a fee to send the mattress back?+

The return fee on the Hybrid Pro mattress is £0, so nothing is deducted for having it collected. Delivery is free as well, which means the £1,399 queen price is not quietly topped up later, and a trial that ends badly leaves you with the delivery charge already paid.

How long is the Simba warranty?+

The warranty on the Hybrid Pro mattress runs for 10 years, against a 5 year median across tracked brands. On queen price, Simba ranks 37 of 50 brands, so the cover is what separates the outlay from a cheaper hybrid.

How firm is the mattress?+

Simba lists medium firm as the feel offered on the Hybrid Pro, with a single option rather than a ladder of choices. Buyers who need a distinctly softer or firmer surface, or who share a bed with opposite preferences, have fewer options here than at a brand that offers a wider firmness range.

Where does Simba sell and deliver?+

Simba sells in GB and CA, with a British base and Canada alongside the UK market. Delivery runs 0 to 3 weeks depending on where you are, is free as standard, and old mattress removal can sit on the same order, so the outgoing bed is handled at the point of delivery.

How do I contact Simba?+

Support runs through email, chat and phone, so phone and chat sit alongside email and a help centre rather than leaving email as the only route. The company behind the site trades as Simba Sleep Limited, registered in the United Kingdom, which is useful to have on hand when a warranty or delivery question needs to go to the legal entity.

Is the mattress certified?+

The Hybrid Pro mattress carries certipur us certification, which covers the foam used in the build. It sits at 58% across the mattress ranking, so among hybrids it reads as a baseline mark rather than a differentiator, and buyers after certified wool or latex fills may want a wider shortlist.

Does Simba sell anything besides mattresses?+

Bedding is part of the range: sheets, duvets and duvet covers, using cotton and linen, with prices starting from £63.75. Those items sit on a returns window of 30 days rather than the 200 night mattress trial, so check which one applies before ordering sheets to go with a mattress still in its trial.
