Simba is one of the first British makers to develop boxed mattresses and they have seen great success in recent years. In this Simba Inter mattress review, I will talk about this value-for-money option that looks promising.
This is actually a slimmed-down version of the popular Simba Hybrid mattress and it’s designed to sleep cool. As expected, this is another hybrid mattress that will come packed inside a carton box. Mine arrived almost a week ago so it’s a good time now to move to the full review below.
Materials & Construction
The Simba Inter mattress features 3 layers plus the cover. In detail, these are:
- A Simbatex foam layer that adds elasticity and comfort. It’s infused with graphite that can dissipate heat for a cooler sleep.
- A layer made of Aerocoil springs. These are made of titanium and they will contour your body. Moreover, they are designed to allow airflow so the mattress breathes better.
- A zoned foam base layer that is designed to support demanding parts of your body like your hips and shoulders. This is also the base of this mattress.
The picture below gives us a better look at the position of each layer. I have to mention here that the Inter mattress has a medium profile measuring 23cm in height.
Cover
The cover of this mattress is made of a breathable material that allows the core to breathe. That will help the mattress stay cool during the night. Moreover, the cover is hypoallergenic so it’s suitable for allergy sufferers or people with sensitive skin. The design is a modern one and you should expect a dark grey bottom part and a white top part. The latter is removable and you can machine-wash it whenever you want to clean it. On the sides, you will find 4 handles and it’s great to see this feature at this price. Overall, this is a well-made cover that won’t disappoint.
Comfort & Support
It’s time to continue with this Simba Inter mattress review and talk about its feel. This is a mattress designed to suit all types of sleepers so it comes with a medium-firm feel. If I use my virtual scale here, I would rate it as a 6.6 with 10 being really firm. I want to talk now about my experience with it during the past week.
Lying on my back, the mattress felt very supportive and the weight distribution was optimal. I felt comfortable sleeping this way and the sleeping surface was cool.
Turning to the side position, the mattress adjusted very quickly and there was no pain in my hip area. My spinal alignment was neutral and support was adequate.
Finally, moving to the front position, the sleeping surface wasn’t as firm as I would have liked and I think that front sleepers should go for a different mattress. That means that this mattress is better suited to back and side sleepers.
For those who sleep with a partner, the Inter mattress has minimal motion transfer so you won’t disturb each other during sleep. Furthermore, the edge support is average but this is expected from a budget mattress.
Service
Simba has seen great success thanks to the awesome service they offer. When you order a mattress from them, you will get a free next-day delivery service so you will have your new mattress in no time. What is even better is that for an extra £10, you can choose your own 4-hour time slot. This is super convenient and I think more makers should offer it. But that’s not it! Simba also offers a VIP delivery service that costs £50. That includes mattress setup, packaging removal and old mattress recycling.
In my case, I paid for the 4-hour slot as I wanted my mattress delivered in the afternoon. The box arrived in great condition and communication was excellent. The box wasn’t too heavy so I managed to move it by myself. Overall, the whole process was smooth and I was happy with the service I got.
Trial Period & Guarantee
If you prefer buying mattresses in a shop, I have some interesting news for you. All Simba mattresses come with a 200-night trial period that allows you to try them at home. If you are not satisfied with your mattress, you have the right to return it and get your money back. Simba won’t ask any questions and their customer service department will help you with everything.
Moreover, every Simba mattress comes with a 10-year guarantee which is what most makers offer these days. Before you get yours, make sure you read the full terms and conditions. Overall, this is an excellent support package, especially if we consider the price here.
Simba Inter Mattress Review – The Verdict
It’s time to complete this Simba Inter mattress review and have a final verdict. This is a well-balanced mattress that is better suited to back and side sleepers. It features an efficient cooling mechanism and it’s suitable for couples. The price tag is affordable and if we add the excellent service and support package, you get plenty for your money spent.
