by The hybrid 1500 mattress is great for those seeking comfort and support at night. It offers a perfect balance of comfort and support without compromising.
The mattress has a firmer feeling which rates 7 out of 10. It features five layers of engineered comfort with unique 2500 small conical springs. The springs work together incredibly with the foam layer above and below it to provide equal weight distribution with gentle body cradling for maximum comfort.
Moreover, it greatly helps minimize the disturbances along the surface to avoid sleep disruption for the partner. The base support is highly durable and solid enough to support heavy sleepers without breaking down.
Above all, the mattress has excellent edge support and heat resistance, a basic necessity that couples and individuals highly seek in a bed. Moreover, it is eco-friendly, CertiPUR-US certified, and free of hazardous chemicals. Lastly, it offers 100 nights trial period with ten years solid warranty.
However, we recommend the Douglas original mattress if you still want a better option, especially in an all-foam construction. The bed performs exceptionally well against heat resistance for hot sleepers and motion isolation for couples.
It even offers great pressure relief and body-cradling for all sleeping positions with further adequate edge support. Most importantly, if a 100-night trial period and ten years warranty don’t intrigue you, Douglas’s 365-nights trial period and 20 years warranty will suffice your high expectations.

Who Do We Recommend the Simba Hybrid 1500 Mattress to?
We recommend the mattress for the following sleepers:
- We recommend the mattress for couples who prefer having strong motion isolation.
- We recommend the mattress for sleepers needing solid edge support for more sleep surface.
- For hot sleepers who need a cooler sleep environment and heat build-up prevention.
- Sleepers who need pressure relief to soothe their back pains.
- We recommend the mattress for average-weighted or heavy sleepers who can sleep on a firmer mattress surface.
Avoid the Simba Hybrid 1500 Mattress if:
We recommend avoiding the mattress if:
- Avoid the mattress if you are a light-weighted sleeper as it might not be supportive enough due to a firmer feeling.
- Avoid the mattress if you like an all-foam feeling, as the mattress contains micro coils for support and comfort.
- Avoid the mattress if you are a combo sleeper, as the mattress isn’t too bouncy.
Comfort and Firmness
The Simba 1500 mattress has a firm feeling that rates 7-7.5 out of 10. Considering this firmness, it can be a good choice for average-weighted and heavy sleepers with side back and even stomach sleep positions.
Besides, its five comfort layers are engineered uniquely. Usually, most mattresses have coils in the base, whereas the Simba 1500 mattress has its Aero Spring-Comfort layer in the middle with foam above and below it. It helps the bed to distribute weight equally with excellent pressure relief and minimal motion transference.
If you are a hot sleeper, the mattress offers more coolness and comfort than traditional memory foam layers. The open-cell Graphite-Infused foam layer and top breathable cover ensure the sleeper receives maximum cool and relaxed comfort.
Performance
Regarding performance, the Simba Hybrid 1500 mattress is second to none. Whether you need a cool and relaxed sleep surface as a hot sleeper, superb pressure relief with equal weight distribution, or pressure relief, the mattress offers a great choice.
The top cover makes it excellently breathable and cool with the help of the below open-cell infused layer. Next, it provides edge-to-edge support for increased sleep surface, making moving or sleeping near the edges easier. Its base has separate support zones to maintain proper spine alignment for perfect body condition. Lastly, the mattress is also CertiPUR-US certified and can live for ten years with good care.
Continue reading below to learn more about how this mattress performs with motion isolation, sagging and edge support, breathability and heat transfer, back pains, durability, sleeping position, and weight.
Is It a Good Mattress for Back Pains?
Simba Hybrid mattress helps greatly against back pains due to its pressure relief and gentle body cradling attributes. The bed can also distribute the weight properly, while the zoned base support helps the above layers to adjust the sleeper with sleep-inducing alignment. Through this, it can maintain a proper posture while sleeping to help alleviate or prevent back pains for most sleepers.
However, it might be a good choice for petite sleepers with back pains or sleep positions due to its firmer feeling. We recommend they try out the Douglas Original mattress.
The mattress offers the same pressure relieving and body-cradling support. However, since it has a medium feeling, it can support some petite sleepers and heavy sleepers.
Sagging and Edge Support
The mattress can easily hold on to itself in the longer run without losing shape. That is because the bed has a firm feeling with foam layers and micro-coils made strong enough to hold even heavy sleepers.
Moreover, its Simba-Pure edge-to-edge support is strong enough to last longer, making you feel sleepy near the edge fearlessly. But again, obviously, all mattresses, regardless of their construction type, have to sag. So, the bed will start to sag after 6-7 years as it only has a 10-years warranty.
Therefore, we recommend the Douglas Original mattress as a better alternative. It can last longer due to its high-density foam layers that can withstand in the longer run. Moreover, it offers a solid warranty for 25 years.
Motion Isolation
If there is one thing among many that this mattress is great at, it is the motion isolation factor. The Simba mattress does a great job at motion absorption and passing on minimal disturbances to the surface for your partner’s concern.
Its AeroCoilR Spring-Comfort layer has up to 2500 micro-coils, all designed specifically for equal weight distribution against facing the body pressure while minimizing the disturbances above the surface. This makes it a good choice for couples and fulfills their basic necessity of a peaceful sleep.
Sleeping Position and Weight
The mattress has a firmer feeling, so judging by that, it can be a good choice mostly for heavy sleepers above 230-250 lbs and some averaged-weighted sleepers between 130-230 lbs. If we speak about the sleep positions, it works best with back and stomach sleepers due to its firm feeling.
However, petite sleepers who need a softer feeling and side sleepers who usually prefer medium-firmness might not find it an ideal choice.
We recommend them the Douglas Original mattress as it has a medium-firmness. This firmness is a better choice, especially for averaged-weighted sleepers. Next, some petite and heavy sleepers will benefit from it better than what Simba 1500 mattress can offer.
Breathability and Heat Transfer
Apart from motion isolation, breathability and heat transfer are the second attribute or requirements that the Simba 1500 mattress is good at fulfilling. The bed is a great choice for hot sleepers as its top cover has a breathable sleep surface.
The cover features 500g of hand-knitted goodness, which offers great hypoallergenic protection to keep it cool and fresh all night.
Next, right below that, the Open-Cell Graphite-Infused Simbatex foam layer adds about 30 times more breathability and coolness to tackle overheating. The AeroCoilR Spring-Comfort layer promotes airflow through temperature regulation for a cooler in its base.
Durability
The mattress has above-average durability as it is made of durable and eco-friendly materials. The micro-coils and the foam layers are durable enough to withstand any sleep conditions for 6-7 years.
However, we recommend the Douglas Original mattresses with high-density foam layers if you need something more durable. Its- foams are relatively much stronger and have a 20 years warranty compared to the ten years by Simba mattress.
What Is the Simba 1500 Mattress Made of?
The 10-inch Simba mattress is made of the following different layers:
- Top Cover: A soft, breathable sleep surface has 500g of hand-knitted goodness to keep the mattress fresh and cool with a hypoallergenic surface.
- Comfort Layer: The 1.25 inches comfort layer has graphite-infused foam beneath the top cover. It helps against heat retention while keeping the mattress cool and relaxed. Moreover, it adds to body contouring and avoids sinkage compared to traditional mattresses.
- Second Layer: Next, the mattress has a 1 inch of up to 2500 AeroCoils or micro-coils to minimize motion transference, airflow, and temperature regulation for a cooler effect.
- Third Layer: The Simba Pure support lift edge technology prevents sleepers from falling off by providing strong edges for increased sleep surface and peace of mind.
- Base Layer: lastly, the 7.75 inches-thick foam base layer is the mattress’s main foundation. It prevents the sleeper from sinking in too deep, and the seven zones promote proper spinal alignment with pressure relief.

Our Verdict
Overall, the Simba Hybrid 1500 mattress is a winning combination of support, comfort, and durability. The unique advanced graphite-infused memory foam construction with micro-coils, edge-to-edge support, and a thick support base offers great edge support, motion isolation, coolness, and durability. The pressure relief, body contouring, and balanced weight distribution all add to its support function for a restful night’s sleep.
However, without underestimating the Simba Hybrid mattress, we recommend the Douglas Original mattress as a better alternative. It offers all the features in a similar all-foam construction that provides a wider range of body support, taking even some petite sleepers into account. It is more durable and long-lasting, with 20 years warranty and a 265-night trial period followed by eco-friendly materials construction.
