Simba Hybrid 2500 Review

Rating: 7.8
Verified
Buy Simba
The Simba Hybrid 2500 mattress is a hybrid model combining foam and microcoil layers, excelling in cooling, motion transfer, and pressure relief. Rated medium-firm, it suits all sleeping positions and body weights. Key features include exceptional cooling performance, minimal sinkage, excellent motion transfer, moderately fast response time, high bounce, good edge support for lying down, and excellent pressure relief. However, it has a strong off-gassing smell that dissipates within five days. The mattress comes with a 200-night trial and a 10-year warranty but lacks a return policy. It is competitively priced but may not be ideal for heavier stomach or back sleepers due to its zoned support system.
