The mattress is very supportive without being hard and there are no dents when you move or turn over. People with allergies: Hybrid mattresses often contain foam and latex layers, which can be made of either synthetic or natural materials, and some people may have allergic reactions to certain components of these layers. Some companies such as Simba claim that their Hybrid mattresses are hypoallergenic. But, people with allergies should carefully review the materials used in the hybrid mattress they are considering and opt for mattresses that use hypoallergenic materials. It’s worth pointing out that all Simba mattresses are made in the UK; this justifies its high price to an extent. Additionally, the Hybrid Pro mattress may not be suitable for sleepers who prefer a softer sleeping surface, as it is designed to provide a medium-firm comfort level – but I found it to be firmer than the marketing suggests (as with most Simba mattresses).

Best mattresses: Extended buyer’s guide What other key questions do I need to ask? What is it made from? Okay, so this isn’t a Hybrid but I just wanted to mention it, in case you’re not 100% deadset on buying a hybrid…A few negatives to bear in mind: The cover is dry-clean only, and it’s made in China rather than here in the UK. Other than that, I find it hard to fault. Also, the Simba Hybrid Pro is relatively heavy and may be challenging to move around. So you really do need two people to move it, even in the box. My only concern now is how long this will last, but for now I am sleeping better than I can remember and my whole day is better was a result. It's comfortable immediately, and the pain the used to wake me after 2-3 hours is basically gone. For those looking for something a little different to the norm (i.e by brands like Eve Sleep and Emma) then give the OTTY Pure a go. It’s my runner up choice for hybrid mattress, and quite frankly as it’s an OTTY known for their plain-speaking, you’re unlikely to get confused with mumbo-jumbo and marketing gobbledygook.

Three-layer (bottom layer 195mm dense support foam; middle layer 20mm memory foam; top layer 25mm open-cell foam) However the mattress is quite comfortable. It has been duly delivered, opened from being shrink-wrapped and old mattress taken away. Larger individuals may benefit from the additional support offered by a firmer mattress, while those with a smaller frame may be more comfortable on something a bit softer. You should also bear in mind that the same mattress can feel different depending on the type of base you use, which we explain in more detail below. Do all mattresses need flipping or turning? Cool Sleep - Multi-layered breathable foam can accelerate air circulation and let go of the sweat and moisture, keeping your body dry and comfortable when you are sleeping. The hollow design of the springs allows the mattress to breathe freely, providing you with a dry and restful sleep.And while OTTY mattresses are not made in the UK, so they lose a point there, but if that doesn’t bother you, then they’re highly affordable and have many of the same features as Simba. At the risk of stating the obvious, we test our mattresses by sleeping on them. However, as we do so, there are a number of factors we aim to take into account. In addition to comfort and support, two important factors are firmness and temperature control (though we may also take factors such as edge support and motion isolation into account). Generally easier to transport, i.e. still can be vacuumed into a box, so cheaper to deliver (but they’re not “light”).
