Simba Memory Foam Travel Pillow

Product Information

As well as providing outstanding comfort, studies have shown that weighted blankets can significantly positively impact people suffering from anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. Emma Hug blanket weighs 7 kg.

Over the month I've been testing it, it hasn't lost shape or sagged in the slightest. Simba recommends giving the filling a shake every couple of weeks to make sure the Nanocubes retain their oomph, but this hasn't felt necessary yet. If you have the Simba Hybrid Firm then the cover and filler pads can be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle up to 40°C and they also can be tumble dried on a low heat. The inner spring pad however is sponge clean only. Do you put a pillowcase on a Simba pillow?On the outside, the two pillows are largely identical. They both have non-identical sides: one is a breathable cotton cover, which Simba stresses is made using cotton from sources approved by the Better Cotton Initiative. As long as you're a firm fan of firm pillows and you're willing to part with a hefty bit of cash, this could be the answer to your sleep problems. It feels utterly luxurious to sleep on – more comfortable than a memory foam pillow, with superior support to a feather-filled product. It's plump, squishy and truly comfortable. These inserts can be combined and arranged to not only adjust the height of the pillow but to radically alter its firmness.

The delivery of the pillow was straightforward – I was allocated a time window and it arrived on schedule. However, if you're fortunate enough to be able to spend that on a pillow, you will be making a worthwhile investment in your sleep. The Hybrid Firm's Stratos technology means it's as good as any pillow can be at regulating your temperature while you sleep, and its adjustability is even better than that of the already-impressive standard Hybrid. The temperature control technology and breathability are the best on the market and fully use Simba's market-leading technology. 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. In addition, the top-level foam is excellent, so the pillow retains its shape, comfort and overall quality over long periods.

On that note, it might be prudent for me to mention that I think some pillowcases may be too small to house this pillow. Most of mine fit fine, but I have one or two that struggle to completely envelop it. Simba's unique selling point has always been using astronaut-inspired technologies to improve temperature regulation and offer a great night's sleep. Achieving the right height for your personal preference is a journey and it took a few nights for me to get it exactly right. Simba offers some guidance for this and suggests removing a certain amount of cubes based on how firm you like your pillow (the more cubes, the firmer the feel), and your sleeping position.Simba Hybrid pillow is a true all-rounder, designed to suit everyone with its ability to support any type of sleeper through the adjustable loft, optimal thermal comfort and maximum airflow. I took out around four handfuls of cubes to hit my sleeping sweet spot – and after I'd found it, it's fair to say I was in heaven. In simple terms, what this means is that at a certain temperature, molecules in the cover turn from solid to liquid, at which point they begin to absorb heat. When the temperature drops again, the molecules resolidify, distributing the heat they absorbed in their liquid state. Comfort: How comfortable the pillow was to wear, both when walking around the airport and while sleeping, was one of the most important factors to us when testing. Travel pillows should provide comfort above all else, but we kept in mind different kinds of sleepers and their preferences when testing, too.

Other excellent features are the two sides of the pillow, the adjustable loft, and being 100% hypoallergenic, sustainable and eco-friendly. The Hybrid Firm's three inserts allow for an amazing amount of adjustment Credit: Kieran Ahuja Delivery and unboxing Some stomach sleepers may find it comfortable, but it is unlikely to satisfy everyone who sleeps on their front.

It's within these dinky cubes that the Simba Hybrid Pillow carves out its major selling point as they can be removed (or even added if you want to buy more), to create the sort of customisable sleep experience you can't get anywhere else. The Simba pillow uses Stratos technology to absorb and move the heat away from your body to cool you down. However, the technology uses this excess heat during colder nights to keep you warm as it slowly releases heat as you sleep. The lightweight and breathable Nanocube technology set the Simba Hybrid pillow apart from other pillows. Nanocubes are not made of polyurethane, which is the primary material used in all-foam pillows, but of open-cell foam. Simba calls these bits of foam Nanocubes, and they make up the core of the pillow.
