The Simba Hybrid Pro is the strongest all-round choice if you want a deeper, more elaborate hybrid mattress than the standard Hybrid. It has eight layers, up to 4,800 springs, a 28cm depth and a starting price of £899 for a single mattress, according to Simba’s product information.
The standard Simba Hybrid is the sensible entry point at a lower price. The Luxe and Ultra add further layers, depth and springs, while the Costco-listed Simba Inter and Simba Hybrid offer lower listed prices through a retailer. The best choice depends mainly on your budget, preferred feel, temperature concerns and need for movement isolation.
Simba’s range also includes the Natural Hybrid Source, Escape and Apex models, alongside Hybrid, Hybrid Pro, Hybrid Luxe and Hybrid Ultra. The range is listed on Simba’s king-size mattress collection.
Prices marked “from” are based on a single mattress, so they should not be read as king-size prices. Simba’s direct prices are starting prices; the final amount depends on the selected size and any promotion.
| Model | Starting price | Depth | Layers | Springs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simba Hybrid | From £699 | 25cm | 5 | Up to 1,900 |
| Simba Hybrid Pro | From £899 | 28cm | 8 | Up to 4,800 |
| Simba Hybrid Luxe | From £1,249 | 31cm | 9 | Up to 5,700 |

The standard Simba Hybrid, Costco Simba Inter and Costco Simba Hybrid are described as medium-firm. Simba Hybrid Pro, Luxe and Ultra have the construction specifications shown above.
Choose the Simba Hybrid when you want Simba’s basic hybrid construction. It has five layers, a 25cm depth and up to 1,900 Aerocoil springs.
Choose the Hybrid Pro when you want a more advanced construction without moving to the top of the range. It adds a second micro-spring layer and a wool comfort layer. Simba also offers an optional HeatRelease upgrade with graphite and reports up to 4.4°C lower temperatures for that technology in controlled laboratory tests.
Choose the Hybrid Luxe or Hybrid Ultra when depth and the number of layers are central to your decision. The Luxe is 31cm deep with nine layers; the Ultra is 34cm deep with 11 layers. Measure the bed frame and allow for the mattress depth, particularly with these two models.
For a lower listed price, compare the Costco options. The Simba Inter is 23cm deep and has 1,500 springs, while Costco’s Simba Hybrid is 25cm deep with five layers and 1,900 springs. Costco describes the Aerocoil springs as cone-shaped titanium-alloy micro-springs intended to limit movement transfer and improve airflow.
