Simba Hybrid vs Hybrid Pro: what's different#

The Simba Hybrid Pro is Simba's flagship product, sitting above the standard Hybrid in price and specification. The key additions over the standard Hybrid are: a Simbatex natural latex comfort layer (replacing the proprietary foam in the standard model), a British wool top layer for natural temperature regulation, and additional pocket springs for improved edge support and longevity.

Simba Hybrid Pro construction#

  • British wool quilted cover: Natural wool regulated by The Woolmark Company. Genuinely breathable and temperature-regulating.
  • Natural latex layer (Simbatex Natural): A layer of natural latex provides more responsive comfort than foam and natural breathability.
  • Simba Aerocoil micro-springs: The same titanium micro-spring system as the standard Hybrid — adds responsiveness and separates the comfort layers from the spring base.
  • 2,500 pocket springs (king size): A higher spring count than the standard Hybrid, with individual pocket springs extending to the edge for better edge support.
  • Base foam: Firm support base.

Natural materials: the real upgrade#

The addition of natural latex and British wool makes the Hybrid Pro a materially different proposition from the standard Hybrid. Natural latex is significantly more responsive and breathable than Simbatex foam. British wool is a world-class temperature regulator that also adds a sumptuous surface feel. These are genuine quality upgrades, not just marketing additions.

Firmness and feel#

The Hybrid Pro feels medium to medium-firm. The natural latex top layer provides a more responsive, slightly bouncier feel than the standard Hybrid — position changes are smoother and the mattress adapts quickly to new positions. It suits back, combination and side sleepers of average to heavier weight.

Temperature performance#

Excellent. The combination of wool, natural latex and dual spring layers produces one of the coolest-sleeping hybrids in the UK mid-premium market. If sleeping hot is your primary concern, the Hybrid Pro is worth the upgrade over the standard Hybrid.

Who the Hybrid Pro suits#

  • Best for: Hot sleepers who want natural materials; those who want a more responsive, latex-feel hybrid; buyers who want to invest in a mattress expected to last 12+ years; combination sleepers who find standard hybrids too slow to respond
  • Less suitable for: Budget buyers; those who prefer deep memory foam contouring; light sleepers who prefer a softer mattress

Our verdict#

The Simba Hybrid Pro represents a meaningful upgrade over the standard Hybrid. Natural latex and British wool are genuine quality improvements with real performance benefits. For buyers who want premium hybrid performance without reaching full bespoke luxury pricing, the Hybrid Pro competes strongly with Brook + Wilde's Elite and similar products.
