Simba Black Friday mattress sale 2024: Top early deals UK
Simba Black Friday mattress sale 2024: Top early deals US
When does the 2024 Simba Black Friday sale start?
We can't predict exactly when the Simba Black Friday mattress sale will kick off, but based on previous experience, we expect it to get going in early to mid-November. Currently, Simba UK is offering a "Black November" giveaway — not a specific Black Friday sale. And in the US, we're seeing the continuation of the October sale.
In 2023, Simba launched its Black Friday mattress deal in the second week of November — we're hoping for something similar this year. Those deals are likely to continue until the Black Friday weekend, although we might see some changes the closer we get to the big day. Post-Black Friday, Cyber Monday is another good time to buy a mattress from Simba.
Although last year, some of our favorite deals at Simba had ended before Monday. Our recommendation? If you see a saving you like, don't hang around to buy.
Does Simba have a Black Friday mattress sale?
In previous years Simba has offered some fantastic Black Friday mattress sales. Last year we saw up to 45% off mattresses plus a price promise: Simba guaranteed the prices wouldn't go any lower in 2023. This meant Black Friday really was the cheapest time to buy a Simba mattress.
But Simba UK has changed how it approaches deals in 2024. While the brand used to run evergreen Simba mattress sales, in 2024 we've only spotted the occasional discount. And often, Simba has reserved that saving for just a few models.
As we've not observed the same sale patterns from Simba this year, it's hard to predict just what the Black Friday deals will be. Still, we remain hopeful, as the few deals that have popped up at Simba this year have generally been generous.
It's also hard to predict what kind of sales we'll see from Simba US, but for a different reason — the brand has only operated in the States for the past few months. However, based on Simba UK's sales, plus our general observations of Black Friday mattress deals, we're expecting an exciting sitewide saving.
Where to find Simba Black Friday mattress deals
Simba mattresses are available both online and from brick and mortar stores. We recommend shopping direct from Simba's online store, as here you'll find the complete mattress line-up, and the best benefits and aftercare.
Third-party retailers also carry Simba mattresses, including the Simba Amazon store. This is a good place to find old season Simba mattresses (Simba refreshed the line-up earlier this year), and you can also spot deals on bedding accessories.
In addition. Simba mattresses can be found at John Lewis online and Argos (currently, the Simba Cool Foam Mattress is sold exclusively at Argos).
If you want to try before you buy, Simba beds are stocked at select retailers across England. However, if there's a specific bed you want to test, Simba recommends calling in advance to ensure it's in stock. Otherwise, you can buy online and enjoy the Simba 200-night sleep trial. That's 200 nights to sleep on the bed in your own home, before you have to commit.
Currently, it appears as though Simba mattresses are available exclusively from Simba online in the US. So if you're hoping for a deal, head straight to the Simba site.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a Simba mattress?
Black Friday is traditionally the best time of year to find a mattress deal, with brands often announcing their biggest savings over this period. As Simba UK has recently refrained from running frequent sales, we expect Black Friday to be a rare opportunity to save money on these high-quality hybrids.
In the US, we're also expecting Black Friday to be a good time to buy a Simba mattress. Based on the deals we've spotted since the US range was launched, we expect savings to pop up frequently on Simba hybrid mattresses. But Black Friday is likely to see an increase in the discount, so if you don't mind waiting for your bed, it might be worth holding back and seeing what the sales season brings.
How to choose a Simba mattress
Simba specializes in hybrid mattresses to compete with the best hybrid mattresses around. In the UK, the nine mattress Simba line-up has an option to suit almost every sleep style and budget.
The Comfort and Deluxe range are traditional hybrid mattresses, pairing springs with multiple layers of foam. Side sleepers should look for hybrid mattresses with cushioned comfort layers, to provide pressure relief at the shoulder and hips. Back and stomach sleepers tend to need a firmer feel with plenty of lumbar support, to keep the spine comfortably aligned.
If you're looking for an eco-conscious bed, take a look at the Simba Earth range. With a three mattress line-up — the Source, Escape, and Apex — the Earth collection swaps foams for planet-friendly materials such as wool, hemp, and flax.
In the US, the Simba line-up currently consists of three hybrid mattresses. While the choice might be smaller, it's still important to prioritize your sleep style.
To make the right choice in the Black Friday mattress sales, consider the type of bed that will suit your sleep needs. Do you need lots of pressure relief? Do you need extra support at the spine? Or are you a hot sleeper, looking for a breathable bed? Avoid focusing on the discount too much — a saving is only good if it's on a mattress that's right for you.
How much should you pay for a Simba mattress in the Black Friday sales?
Simba mattresses are suitable for a variety of budgets, with prices ranging from £499 (for a single Simba Hybrid Essential Mattress), to £1,899 (for a single Simba Hybrid Ultra Mattress) and everything in between.
All Simba UK mattresses feature the patented Simba hybrid core technology and are manufactured in the UK. They also all come with a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee, plus free next day delivery. Simba doesn't currently manufacture any budget or lower mid-range beds — which is part of the reason why we're looking forward to the Black Friday mattress sales.
As the Simba mattress line-up is smaller in the US, you'll also find a smaller price range. The cheapest bed in the collection is the mid-range Hybrid Essential, which is priced from $999. The premium Hybrid Pro sits at the other end of the scale — it's priced from $1,399.
