This month's 5 best Simba mattress sales and deals
Which Simba mattress should I choose?
Simba offers three categories of mattress - the Comfort range, the Deluxe range, and the Earth range.
The Comfort range includes the 12-time award-winning Simba Hybrid - read our Simba Hybrid mattress review for more - which is 25cm deep and has five different layers to boost your in-bed support, comfort and pressure relief. The Simba Hybrid is perfect for side-sleepers as it’s softer on the knees, hips and shoulders. You can get some premium hybrid pillows for free if you purchase now. For a cheaper alternative, consider the all-foam Emma Mattress - our Simba vs Emma comparison walks you through the pros and cons of each bed.
The cheapest option in the Deluxe range is the Simba Hybrid Pro. This is a step up in terms of sleep engineering, with seven different layers to cradle and support your body during sleep. It is 28cm deep and uses 5,000 titanium Aerocoil springs for ‘gravity-defying support’. The Simba Hybrid Pro also has a temperature regulating layer, though the Hybrid Luxe below is your best bet if you sleep very warm.
The Simba Hybrid Luxe is the brand’s flagship mattress and the model that represents the best Simba mattress technology you can buy. The Hybrid Luxe is a plush mattress that sports 10 different layers and has a 31cm depth, so it’s much taller than the other two (get those extra deep fitted sheets at the ready!). It houses around 6,000 titanium Aerocoil springs, packing in 1,000 more than the mid-tier Hybrid Pro for extra support and bounce. Without a Simba discount the Hybrid Luxe is priced from £1,169, but in previous sales, we've seen it for the starting price of £759.85.
Finally, there's the Earth range. These mattresses stand out for their organic materials, providing a luxury sleep experience in an eco-friendly package. Our favourite of the bunch is the Simba Earth Escape Mattress, which fuses natural materials with advanced tech for premium pressure relief. Right now you can get the full bedding bundle with the Escape mattress, but we've seen it cheaper, with a 20% reduction earlier this year, bringing it down to a starting price of £879.30, compared to the £1,099 that it's on sale for now.
All Simba's mattresses are medium-firm, so if you prefer a softer mattress you’ll be better off with one of the best memory foam mattresses for cozy comfort instead. Nectar comes out on top there, closely followed by Saatva. To see savings from those brands, take a look at our round-ups of the biggest Nectar mattress deals and the Saatva mattress sale.
The Simba Hybrid Mattress scores a user review rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, and is great value considering the high build quality for such a discounted price (remember, no discount code is needed). The Simba Hybrid is made with five individual layers, including Simba-Pure foam infused with graphite. This boosts the breathability of the mattress so that you don’t overheat during sleep. The 2,500 25mm conical pocket Aerocoil springs also aid breathability while providing bounce and comfort.
While the other Simbas are designed with thicker covers (750g), this one has a 500g hypoallergenic knitted cover, making it a good choice for people with allergies. The cover isn’t removable for washing though, so make sure you team it with a good mattress protector. You could even add on the best mattress topper for your budget while you’re breaking in the Simba Hybrid if needs be. It also has four handles for easy moving and rotation.
We’d recommend the Simba Hybrid to most sleepers as it’s supportive yet still cozy enough to keep you comfy in a side sleeper, stomach, back or combi position. There’s plenty of contouring and comfy foam here, and partnered with those coils it makes for a cool and relaxing night’s sleep. Simba offers a 10-year warranty on this model and you can test drive it for 200 nights. If you choose to return it during the trial period, returns are free for most of the UK.
For an equally affordable alternative, take a look at our guide to the best Dormeo mattress sales and discounts.
The Simba Hybrid Pro mattress comes with double the amount of springs of the Simba Hybrid and sports a natural and breathable wool layer. The 5,000 titanium Aerocoil springs mean it’s cooler than the above model too, but not as much as the Simba Hybrid Luxe below. Those springs, combined with the natural wool top layer, deliver good temperature regulation, so heat won’t pool beneath you during sleep.
The Simba Hybrid Pro has seven different layers compared to the Simba Hybrid’s five, and offers enhanced support and comfort for your entire body. The springs enable better body weight distribution, so you shouldn’t encounter any pain or pressure points when you’re lying down. The 750g knitted cover is thicker here too, but it doesn’t mean the mattress sleeps any warmer, thanks to those coils and a layer of open cell Simba-Pure foam with graphite (a cooling material).
If you share your bed with your partner and one or both of you regularly switches between positions, you should feel less motion from one another when sleeping on the Simba Hybrid Pro. There’s also good edge support, so you can both stretch out and snooze on every inch without fear of tumbling out of bed.
The Simba Hybrid Luxe Mattress packs in 10 layers compared to the Hybrid’s five and the Pro’s seven, giving you the maximum amount of in-bed comfort and support. It features Simba’s best sleep technology yet, so naturally it’s more expensive than its siblings. This is also the best Simba mattress discount for hot sleepers. Why? Because the Hybrid Luxe is built to offer high levels of temperature regulation and moisture control, wicking away sweat and dispersing heat so that it doesn’t build up in the mattress. This also makes it an ideal choice for surviving summer heatwaves.
The Simba Hybrid Luxe features the same 750g hypoallergenic knitted cover as the Simba Hybrid Pro, but most other features are a luxury upgrade. The top layer, for example, is made from 100% bamboo heat regulating wool, and there are 6,000 springs at work here to boost breathability, enhance comfort and relieve pressure. Like its siblings, the Simba Hybrid Luxe offers motion isolation (so you won’t feel your partner moving around so much) and defined edge support so you can spread out.
Also exclusive to the Luxe is the 40mm high carbon steel spring comfort layer, while it shares the same open-cell Simba-Pure foam layer (with graphite for cooling power) as the other Simba mattresses.
Simba mattress discounts on bedding
Simba sleep makes a range of bedding accessories too, ranging from top-rated sleeping pillows to a washable mattress protector, bed linen, a high quality mattress topper for boosting your in-bed comfort, and a highly coveted Orbit Weighted Blanket.
The current Simba mattress sale enables you to add a bedding bundle including pillows, a duvet and a mattress protector for free with many of the mattresses. However, we've seen some big discounts, up to 45% off, during holiday sales periods like Black Friday and Boxing Day. Most recently, we saw some Simba mattresses get a 20% saving during the end-of-summer sale.
Do I need a Simba mattress discount code?
No, you don’t need a Simba mattress discount code to take advantage of all the sale offers and deals. You may occasionally see codes on the site, but Simba automatically applies the savings for you. You’ll see the discount added to your shopping cart once you have added enough smaller items (such as bedding) to reach the qualifying amount for that particular deal.
That means you can simply browse the range of Simba mattresses and bedding on the site, pick your chosen products and head to the checkout without having to worry about typing in a discount code. Depending on your order and where you live, you may need to pay a delivery fee on top.
Simba Black Friday and Cyber Monday mattress deals: what you need to know
The Black Friday mattress deals historically bring with them the lowest prices of the year, and last year Simba followed this pattern. The Simba Black Friday 2022 sale kicked off around mid-November, with 45% off the whole range of mattresses, except for the very cheapest Simbatex Essential, which got a 40% discount. We regularly see 40% of deals at Simba, but this is the first time we've seen 45% off since the Boxing Day 2021 and the 2022 January sales). This deal continued right through Black Friday and was still in place the following week.
The pricing was as follows, for a double size:
- Simbatex Essential Foam: £269.40 (RRP £449)
- Simba Hybrid Essential: £455.95 (RRP £829)
- Simba Hybrid: £549.45 (RRP £999)
- Simba Hybrid Pro: £824.45 (RRP £1,499)
- Simba Hybrid Luxe: £1,181.95 (RRP £2,149)
- Simba GO: £1,181.95 (RRP £2,149)
What happened for previous Black Friday events?
The biggest discount we've seen on Simba mattresses was in Black Friday 2021. This sale offered 45% off the whole range, which at that time only had three or four mattresses in it.
However, RRP increases mean customers were paying more in 2022 than they were in 2021. Here was the pricing on the original Simba Hybrid for that sales event:
- Single: £356.95 (RRP £649)
- Double: £483.45 (RRP £879)
- King: £549.45 (RRP £999)
That year, deals of 30-35% off were pretty common, but anything above was much rarer. In the 2020 Simba Black Friday sale, there was 35% off all mattresses.
