Simba Source Mattress Review

Last updated:

Simba is a maker that has an extensive range of mattresses and a total of 9 options. In this Simba Source mattress review, I discuss this all-natural mattress that is designed for those looking for an old-school option.

This mattress is part of the ‘Earth’ range which also includes the Simba Escape mattress and the Simba Apex mattress. They are made with natural materials like wool, hemp and cotton but they lack nothing in support and comfort. My Source mattress was delivered almost a week ago so let’s move now to the full review below.

Materials & Construction

This mattress features 4 layers plus the cover. In detail, these are:

  • A soft British wool layer that adds comfort and a springy feel.
  • A layer made of Yorkshire hemp, flax and cotton. This allows airflow and increases durability.
  • A layer made of conical Aerocoil® springs. These offer tailored support for demanding areas like your hips and shoulders.
  • A Quadcore™ sprung base that is the main source of support.

The Earth Source mattress measures 25cm in height and the image below gives us a better look at its architecture.

Cover

The cover of this mattress is made of wool and viscose. This blend is derived from natural materials just like the rest of this mattress. The cover has a silky touch which adds a nice premium character to this mattress. This blend is quite breathable and the sleeping surface will stay cool during the night.

As expected, this is not a removable cover so if you want to clean it, you should use a dump cloth with some mild detergent. On the sides, you will find 4 handles that allow you to move it with more ease. This is a nice practical feature as this mattress is not a light one. The design is a clean one and it features a white colour with beige details. Overall, this is a high-quality cover that will impress you.

Comfort & Support

I want to continue writing this Simba Source mattress review and talk about its firmness. This is a mattress that is designed for most sleepers so it comes with a medium-firm feel. If I use my virtual scale here, I would say it’s a 6.6 with 10 being really firm.

firmness

Lying on my back, the mattress distributed my weight evenly and support was adequate. I didn’t feel any pressure on my back and it was comfortable sleeping this way.

Turning to the side position, the sprung base reacted quickly and I felt well-supported. My spinal alignment was neutral and the mattress remained comfortable.

Finally, moving to the front position, I felt that the Source mattress was slightly softer than it should be for this position. Nothing too bad but I think that stomach sleepers could find a better option.

For those sharing your bed with a partner, this mattress features mini springs that don’t transfer motion. That means you won’t disturb each other during sleep. Moreover, the edge support is excellent thanks to the solid sprung base.

Service

One of the great things about this mattress is the fact it comes with a free ‘VIP’ delivery. That usually costs £50 but for all mattresses that belong to the ‘Earth’ range, it’s offered for free. This includes old mattress recycling and a free mattress set up in the room of your choice. Moreover, you will also get a free next-day delivery so you won’t have to wait long before you can sleep on your new mattress.

I am based in London and I got my Source mattress within a day. The 2-man crew was very helpful and the mattress was placed inside my second bedroom. I have to mention here, that the courier phoned me to arrange a convenient time for the delivery. That was very practical as I had a busy schedule that week. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with them so no complaints from my side.

Trial Period & Guarantee

Although this is part of their all-natural range, you will still get the same service and support from Simba. That means you will get a 200-night trial period that gives you plenty of time to try this at home. If for any reason, you are not happy with your purchase, you have the right to return it and get your money back. I have to mention here that you don’t need to keep the original packaging to be able to make a return.

Additionally, this mattress comes with a 10-year guarantee that will have you covered for a long time. For more details about it, their guarantee page has everything you need to know. Overall, this is a nice support package here so no complaints at all.

Simba Source Mattress Review – The Verdict

It’s time to complete this Simba Source mattress review and have a final verdict. This is an interesting option from Simba as it’s built with all-natural materials. It will remind you of an old-school mattress and suit mostly back and side sleepers. The built quality is excellent and this is a mattress that will sleep cool. Add a fantastic support package and you have a mattress that should be quite high on your list.
