As a side sleeper and someone who sleeps in a bed with someone who takes up a lot of room, I did feel a little nervous that I’d slip off the edge if I got too close to it. The only criticism I have of the Simbatex Foam Mattress is that it dips a little on the edges. This definitely isn’t a deal-breaker – if anything, I quite liked it – and after all, this could just be a testament to how bad my sheets are! I doubt you’ll be able to feel the cover if you have the best sheets (opens in new tab) on your bed but I thought I’d point it out anyway. I tried the Simbatex Foam Mattress during September where the weather is a mix of warm and chilly temperatures and was pretty comfortable and didn’t find myself too hot or sweaty.Ī strange thing I found during the first few nights was that I could feel the knitted texture of the mattress cover through my sheets.

Honestly, this felt great and as someone who flips from sleeping on my side and back, it gave a great level of support in both positions with little to no motion transfer.Īs the Simbatex Foam Mattress prides itself on its cooling properties, I found it doesn’t run too hot at all. When I first lay on it, I could feel every pain I had in my body and once the Simbatex Foam Mattress adjusted to give me support, I felt very cradled around my hips and lower back. Unlike other foam mattresses, the Simbatex Foam Mattress moulds to your body comfortably without giving you that ‘sinking’ feeling. However, that all changed when I got into bed. So initially, I found the firmness of the Simbatex Foam Mattress a firmer than I’d normally go for. As someone who has been living in furnished flats for several years, I’m used to just dealing with the mattress I’ve been given, which tends to be spring mattresses (see our memory foam vs spring mattresses comparison (opens in new tab) if you can’t decide what you want). The first thing I noticed about the Simbatex Foam Mattress was the firmness level. (Image credit: Beth Girdler-Maslen / T3) Simbatex Foam Mattress review: Comfort

The fourth and final layer is the high density foam base which provides zoned pressure relief. It has an open cell structure which provides support and works alongside the Simbatex foam to maintain airflow. The third layer is a Simba-Response foam layer which gives the Simbatex Foam Mattress its firmness.

It’s also infused with heat absorbing graphite so it’s extremely breathable and cooling. Made of CertiPUR foam, this layer has an innovative open cell structure that circulates 30x more airflow than other memory foam mattresses. The second layer is the cooling cushioning Simbatex comfort layer.

It’s incredibly soft to touch and the cover has a zip for easy removal and handle for manoeuvring and rotating. The first layer of the Simbatex Foam Mattress is the anti-allergic removable knitted cover. However, where the Simbatex Foam Mattress differs is that it’s made purely of foam, compared to Simba hybrid mattresses that use a combination of foam and springs. This is the same amount of layers as the Simba Hybrid Essential but in general, this is a relatively small number compared to other Simba mattresses, for example, the Simba Hybrid Luxe has 10 layers. The most interesting thing about the Simbatex Foam Mattress is that it’s made of four layers of engineered foam.

When opened, it smelled a little chemically which is somewhat to be expected considering it was rolled up in plastic but the smell disappeared relatively quickly. Of course, this probably won’t happen for everyone but this was a nice perk for me! It sprung out the plastic covering and fit into my bed base perfectly. Once I opened the box, it was incredibly easy to unpack. The Simbatex Foam Mattress I tried out was a Double and measured at 135 x 190. Like all Simba mattresses, it comes rolled up and vacuumed packed in plastic in a big box – see the best bed-in-a-box (opens in new tab) for more details. One of the newer additions to the Simba mattress range, the Simbatex Foam Mattress is a 25cm deep foam mattress, available in Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King sizes.
