In addition, the top-level foam is excellent, so the pillow retains its shape, comfort and overall quality over long periods. If you don’t have budgetary constraints and are looking for a pillow that feels more like a down pillow, but with all the benefits of memory foam, then the Simba pillow is for you. But, it does seem to be on par with Nectar's Whole Night's Sleep pillow, a very comparable product. The Visco-elastic open-cell foam has several tiny air-filled cells that help contour your head as you sleep, allowing you to find the optimal sleeping position.

The Simba Hybrid Pillow features nanocubes in a breathable cover. What exactly are Simba nanocubes? Nectar is a well-known brand that has been part of the UK market for years. The Tencel cooling fabric and Nectar Premier pillow cover will keep you cool throughout the year. Our 100% cotton bed linen is a key component of great sleep, because as well as feeling soft and soothing, it also helps regulate your body temperature; cotton is a naturally breathable fabric but we’ve added our Stratos finish on one side to help dissipate excess body heat.

How we test products

The three layers of the pillow comprise two layers of polyester stuffing encased in cotton, and one of Aerocoil springs encased in Pure foam. These two parented materials can also be found in Simba's mattresses (find out how they perform there in our Simba Hybrid Pro review). With space-inspired temperature regulation and adjustable height and firmness, expect sleep that's out of this world.

We design and make all our mattresses in the UK, creating local jobs and reducing our environmental impact. Stratos® is an ingenious, printed finish that we’ve added to one side of our fitted sheets. It provides fabric with instant coolness to the touch, but also enables it to draw heat away when you’re too hot until you’re sufficiently cool again. Our official B Corp™ accreditation is an accolade that is only awarded to select businesses that promote social and environmental change through how we work and operate, something we consistently strive for. We tested the pillow for four weeks across warmer weather and colder nights, with testers that included a combination sleeper, petite sleeper and hot sleeper. The pillow delivered well for all, with superb levels of comfort, cosiness and most importantly spine alignment, especially for side-sleepers. The Simba Hybrid pillow may be very expensive, but it is definitely a high-quality pillow worth the cost. 💰 It has some pretty unique features:
