Best mattress topper in the UK for a comfortable sleep

Anything that will extend the life of a mattress we’re on board with. But what are the benefits of adding this SIMBA Hybrid Essential Topper to your bed? Great question. Well, for starters, the toppers from Simba are made using 100 per cent recyclable materials, but there are also other incredible qualities like temperature control and its anti-slip base. Plus it has up to 1,150 Aerocoil springs inside to keep you perfectly supported.

Our review: “The mattress topper arrived well packaged, but it was heavy, so I had to get my partner to help me carry it up the stairs. When I opened the box, it was clear why the topper was weighted – it was huge. It almost doubled the height of our bed. In terms of sleep quality, this topper was great off the bat. Sometimes with new mattresses or toppers, it can take some time for the body to adjust, but I didn’t experience this as I was sound asleep in minutes. After testing for a month, I’ve found that the mattress occasionally slips from its elastic straps. That said, it’s a quick two-minute job to fix and worth it for a good night’s sleep.”

Customer review: "Been using the topper for a few days now. I was expecting it to flatten quite a bit, but surprisingly it's still soft, plush, and comfortable. I had bought it as a topper for a mattress that springs were poking me and left me with a stiff back after nights of tossing and turning. The topper has been a sensible, cost-effective solution to revive a mattress past its half-life. I can no longer feel any pokes, and even the creaking sounds have become muffled. The size matches a double bed perfectly. It's about 190 cm in length and 132 cm in breadth. The elastic straps fit around the mattress corners securely. Overall, it is a good buy. I am planning to order a second one, is pleased with the first one. However, its durability will require some more time to test and evaluate."

I am really pleased and would definitely recommend it. Excellent product."

Customer review: "I’m very pleased with my wool mattress topper for my new bed, I was concerned that it might not be thick enough or that it would flatten out too much with use from reviews I read not the case at all. It’s really comfortable, I can fluff it up when I change my bed if needed over time. I wanted wool for its natural properties of keeping you warm and cosy in winter and cool in summer. I specifically wanted to avoid man-made mattress toppers my new mattress is very firm which I like again avoiding man-made products the two are perfect for me. Highly recommended. A very satisfied customer. Thank you!"
