Luff Prestige Bamboo Hybrid vs Simba Hybrid Pro: which is better?

Quick answer

The Simba Hybrid Pro scores higher overall (8.7 vs 8.5). The Luff Prestige Bamboo Hybrid is £300 cheaper.

Both tested and scored by Alexander Bowman. Scores use the same criteria for every mattress.

Our verdict

Two hybrids with different priorities. The Simba Hybrid Pro has two layers of microsprings over a steel spring base, a wool comfort layer and a 200-night trial. The Luff has 2,000 pocket springs under cooling memory foam, a bamboo cover and a 10-year warranty, but only 30-day returns, and none on sale items.

The Simba scored higher and its trial removes the risk of buying blind. The Luff is cheaper while it is on sale and suits people who already know they like a memory foam top.
