Simba Hybrid Pro Mattress Review 2020 - wool top layer

[@josephwall5215]

Found your channel while looking up Simba reviews. Addicted to your videos now, proper British channel. Ordered the Simba hybrid pro based on this.

[@alanrossreviews]

yup! proper british! thanks for dropping by! 👍😛

I’ve just got one too, had it for 3 days now. Has yours arrived, do you like it?

@@josephwall5215 ahh okay, cool! When it arrives and after several hours, press on the mattress with your hands and let me know if you hear like an odd noise & feel a weird texture. When I press on mine, it’s not like I’m pressing on a cushion. I think it’s the springs I can hear when I press on it. Ta 😂

This is a fantastic review and you have covered all areas (and areas i didnt think i needed to hear). This was exactly what i wanted to see to make a fully informed decision. Simba purchased!

[@reaperofxenos7525]

I’ve got one coming next week, your reviews really are one of the few honest reviews out there! Great stuff and thanks for not promising me it’s comfortable you are bang on with comfort being subjective!

finally someone gets it! hope it works out! 😎 yup honest reviews not overly abundant in the mattress world 😂

[@reaperofxenos7525]

@@alanrossreviews thanks for taking the time to reply. I have watched pretty much all of your mattress reviews and others looking for a new mattress 😂 I currently have a tempur cloud that my mrs picked we both hate it, not much support and so bloody hot! Not easy to find a new one with so many options, nectar, otty, Emma (well you know them all 😂) thanks for helping me to make a more informed choice! Also the sex part is definitely something worth mentioning😂 I mean if you’ve ever tried it on a tempur you have to use a grappling hook to climb out after 😂

Thank you so much for actually explaining the differences and helping me understand what I want/need from a mattress. Fantastic work

Thank you 👍

[@HassanRadwan133]

I love your reviews!! I was thinking of getting an Emma Hybrid, but now I'm thinking a Simba Hybrid pro

[@alanrossreviews]

the simba pro is firmer, emma hybrid a softer mattress, that will be the main difference.

[@GroundsForDivorceCoffee]

Great thorough review, thanks for this.

[@tristamminnaar4748]

Thanks Alan been waiting on baited breath for this review... You have been very helpful! Thanks again

🤗 you're welcome!

[@smokee3820]

Hi Alan, good review. I know it's subjective but from the mattresses you've tried, which one would you recommend for a heavy side sleeper with bit of a dodgy lower back that likes to sleep cool?

[@alanrossreviews]

its impossible to say other than start by looking at the firmer options. what are your sleeping positions? if side then middle ground mattress will be a better option, back and tummy firmer options. but then, heat issues? you want bounce or better motion transfer?

[@smokee3820]

@@alanrossreviews which mattresses would you class as middle ground? I'm not really too fussed about bounce or motion transfer as long as the mattress is good for a heavy side sleeper and doesnt get too warm.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@smokee3820 the hybrid pro might be a fit, i always worry about side sleepers though who need a softer feel really. A bit softer would be nectar and the simba original. Ergoflex is another option if you are ok with memory foam. Personally i prefer memory foam for side sleeping. Another option is something on the firmer side and fine tune with a topper.

Excellent review. Actually detailed and informative. Thanks!

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Just bought the Simba Pro cyber Monday deal. Previously sleeping on a Simba Hybrid which I so far have really enjoyed but we got a new super king bed. I'm a heavy lad, 20 stone and sleep on back and side.

[@alanrossreviews]

20 stone is at the extreme end of what these mattresses can handle. surprised to hear the simba is ok with that, the pro will be even better for support, in theory anyways 😊

[@iangrieveuk]

I'm similar weight to you, any chance you give an update to how its coping?

[@triffid68]

Yes an update would be helpful as Im looking at one in the Black Friday sale. Do you still have it and how is it now? Thanks

[@selliott1727]

Such a helpful review thank you. Can you help advise? Bought an Eve premium and it was like a brick. Caused big aches and pains on the joints as I'm a side sleeper. So then went at the other end of the spectrum and bought an Emma hybrid which was too soft. Worked well for me but gave my husband back pain. So I guess we need something in the middle? Could the Simba Hybrid pro be the one in the middle? Can't keep buying mattresses!

[@alanrossreviews]

yes that would be an option but have you thought about the tweak mattress? configure each side differently.

[@selliott1727]

Hi Alan does the Batting have scrim reinforcement on it? I was thinking of just adding a layer of wool batting to my non Pro version but not sure if the scrim could damage the foam layer

[@Azkhann]

Hi Alan, thanks for the review. I have this mattress, and have a question for you. When pressing on it with my hands, it feels like I can hear the springs, it’s weird. It’s almost like there’s a sheet of plastic underneath which I can feel when touching the mattress (even though there isn’t). Does yours feel the same?

[@alanrossreviews]

well you can feel the springs yes because they are near the top, i cant hear them though.

[@Azkhann]

@Sleep Sounds - RELAX nope, only if you press down with your hands you can softly feel them

[@ajithm77]

Hi Alan, we bought Nectar and did not like it as it very firm. We are looking for a firmness level lesser than Nectar but not too soft either (medium firm) Can you please recommend a brand for us please ? Many thanks in advance , thanks

[@alanrossreviews]

If you are looking for memory foam the hugge is worth try otherwise emma hybrid is softer for sure.

[@ajithm77]

@@alanrossreviews thanks

[@deathorb]

can you punctuate your vids with a best to worse category? Like is the simba pro better than the dreamcloud? I sleep often on back and sides. Thanks btw keep it going!

[@alanrossreviews]

Its simply not possible declare a mattress better than another and for it to have any meaning to tell you what will suit you most

[@T1G3RKN33]

Hi Alan, I'm 175cm and weigh 70 kg, what would you recommend for someone like me. I don't mind softness but i don't like the feeling that I'm sunk into the mattress and therefore kinda feeling stuck? I'm lighter then i used to be so if i don't know that will change that sensation.

[@alanrossreviews]

what is your sleeping position? medium feel sprung might suit from what you have said which covers, simba pro, dreamcloud and tweak.

[@T1G3RKN33]

@@alanrossreviews I'm a slide sleeper.

[@alanrossreviews]

even softer would be the emma hybrid. as a side sleeper preferring a soft feel it might be something to look at.

[@barryjames3747]

Very useful review Alan, cheers. I have spinal impingement and suffer with it quite badly. The fact that I do a physically demanding job doesn't help me much, so a good semi firm mattress like this appears to be, might just do the trick, helping me get a good nights sleep and not waking up in the night due to pain. I have been sleeping on a cheap memory foam mattress that i got with my box bed from Ikea, which has been ok, but it is getting quite soft now after about 5 years of use. I shall watch a few more reviews of yours before I make my final choice, but this is looking promising so far. Thank you.

[@vanessath3127]

Great review, any suggestions. I'm not worried too much about temperature regulating, but like the feel of a soft mattress. I sleep on my side and sometimes front, weigh 70kg. I like the feel of the next marshmallow memory foam, the simba hybrid, the emma hybrid (currently unavailable), I haven't found eve or nectar to feel. Any suggestions would be most gr8ful

[@alanrossreviews]

sounds like you prefer the softer ones, you didnt mention Hugge and the tweak can be configured as a soft mattress.

[@Devineintention]

Great review Alan, thank you. Can I ask you a question please? I suffer from Sacroiliac joint dysfunction in my lower back, I like to sleep on my side, or front instead of my back. Which mattress would you recommend if you know any? Totally fine if not, I just wanted to ask as you come across very knowledgable. Many thanks

[@alanrossreviews]

i would not like to call that one since side and front sleeping are so different, side needs a soft mattress and front needs a firm.

Thanks Alan, watched the review a few weeks ago and mattress arrived today. Just opened and waiting for it to take shape. Good work 👍🏼

[@rizwanahmed4717]

Hi Alan, great review. I'm really struggling with which mattress would be best for me so was hoping you could make a recommendation. I've recently replaced my firm matress as it has been causing severe neck pains for around a year, and purchased a emma hybrid. Although the mattress is really comfy and seems to have helped with neck pain, It is cuasing back pain for both myself and my partner. I am a side sleeper and weigh 14 st, my partner is 9 st and tend to switch between side and front sleeping, thank you in advance 😊

[@alanrossreviews]

i wonder if you have considered the tweak mattress where you can configure each side differently? sounds like the emma hybrid was a tad too soft for you. next level up would be likes of hugge and nectar but they are both memory foam so a different feel.

We have a superking Vispring divan med/firm (one on each side) and its giving me horrendous shoulder pain...so much so that one shoulder has completely frozen. I believe that this is due to the ridge that we've ended up with in the middle. What mattress would you recommend for side sleepers with shoulder pain? I do get hot so i've had reservations about memory foam so thought the hybrid would have been good but you have said its not good for shoulder pain. Any recommendations as to what we should be replacing our mattress with please?

[@alanrossreviews]

what are your weights? if you cant tolerate memory foam on top i would suggest trying a soft latex topper on a memory foam mattress. if otherwise i would suggest a softish mattress without too much pushback, but i need to know your weights to suggest one.

[@WhiteychanStarcraft]

Hi Alan, There's quite a large difference in weight between my partner and I (100kg / 48kg), and we are mostly side sleepers. Would you recommend the Simba Pro in this scenario?

[@alanrossreviews]

i will be getting the tweak mattress soon, might be an option, the two sides can be configured differently. the simba would work if you prefer a softer feel and your partner prefers a firmer feel.

[@dynamicvocab]

We have same problem 114kg and 70kg. Will this give my husband enough support without sagging? The nectar memory foam has sagged more than 4cm and is being returned. Please help. When will the tweak version be available?

[@olliexyoung]

Nice review, always interesting to see the layers up close. Undecided if I’ll keep mine, I like it but think it may be a little too firm for my shoulders. So been looking at the REM-fit 600 lux, Brook + Wilde and Casper Hybrid. How does this Simba Hybrid Pro compare to the Casper Hybrid you unboxed? Is the Casper softer? Which did you find better for side sleeping? I know Casper are no longer in the U.K. but mattressonline are selling the remaining stock with a pretty good discount.

[@alanrossreviews]

the simba hybrid pro is a tiny bit softer in the middle but overall almost identical softness.

[@dannyhari4845]

this is interesting as I too dont like firm beds. so overall it wouldnt let your shoulders sink in enough?

Great review, Alan. Very insightful. I owned a Simba Hybrid Mattress for approx. 1.5 years and it had to be returned due the mattress inheriting dips under where I would sleep. After sending through some images they offered an exchange without hesitation. Great customer service is a big plus for me. I paid the difference to upgrade to the Simba pro as I am quite a warm-bodied sleeper. It is being delivered today. I do sleep on my side so I'm hoping it's not too firm for my sleeping style. I do like a firmer mattress so I'm hopeful I'll be fine. I'll let you know how I find it after a couple of weeks.

i would suggest a soft memory foam mattress such as hugge or nectar. Ergoflex is higher density and this is what i use along with a memory foam topper.
