The Hybrid Pro is Simba's flagship and the most heavily constructed mattress in this guide: multiple layers built around up to 4,800 Aerocoil micro-springs, graphite-infused Simbatex foam and a cool-touch cover aimed at drawing heat away, and it is made in Britain. Reviewers rate its support and temperature regulation highly, which speaks to broad owner satisfaction. For side sleepers the trade-off against the Emma at number one is firmness feel: it is medium-firm and on the supportive side, so it rewards heavier frames and combination sleepers more than lighter side sleepers, who get less give at the shoulder than on the softer Emma or Nectar. It is also the priciest pick even in a sale, which is why it sits behind the Emma on value despite its build.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Up to 4,800 Aerocoil micro-springs across multiple layers give responsive, zoned support reviewers rate highly
  • Graphite-infused foam and a cool-touch cover target cooling and airflow
  • Reviewers rate its support and cooling highly, reflecting strong owner feedback

Cons

  • Medium-firm and on the firmer side, so less shoulder cushioning for lighter side sleepers than the softer Emma or Nectar
  • The most expensive pick here (RRP around £1,099), even in sales
