Anyone got a SIMBA mattress?

Sporky

It is quite comfy.

Noticed there was mention of discount codes on the Otty site. Any ideas where I can get them? 

Sporky

I think the current "discount" is two free pillows - code is STAYCOOL.

They're jolly good pillows.

Not considered a waterbed?

We also had a waterbed for around 12 years.  I loved it, Mrs T was ambivalent so when we moved house she chose a standard bed.

Wife and I got a Simba, Super King.  We've had it a few months now, and it's been great.  No undue heating.  It's a different sensation to sleeping on a purely sprung mattress, it does kinda hold you, but nowhere near the extent of the Tempur mattresses. 

Definitely no regrets on getting it.

We've had Sealy orthopaedic mattresses for a while and they are extremely good.  Big range and various option.

I didn't think I'd like the firm mattress at first but now I find anything less too soft.

Our mattress is a pocket sprung plus memory foam job from John Lewis. Had it 10 years now (it's fucked), but it's been consistently the most comfortable sleep I've ever had.

Only thing to consider is that you can't turn them over to keep them fresh like you do with a normal mattress.

Anyone have opinions on Tempur Vs Memory Foam+Pocket springs?

I'd get a normal pocket spring mattress and a memory foam topper. I need to turn my mattress often because it has sinky bits otherwise

We got a Simba in January and it's great however ther is a dirty great dip appeared on the edge on Mrs T side and she says she feels like she's about roll off all the time

currently in negotiations to get it replaced

Any further thoughts on this? Have the joy of going bed shopping today... Looking for a king size bed and fairly suuportive mattress, not a big fan of soft (which is what we seem to have currently, feels like a marshmallow)

Right have been to 

IKEA
Dreams
Bensons
Carpet Right (didn't even realise these guys sold beds but happened to walk past)

Actually did not really like the SIMBA mattress, it wasn't uncomfortable and to be honest I've sat on so many beds I've forgotten why I didn't like it so that's not especially helpful.

We found we liked the combination mattresses best - pocket sprung + gel/foam etc. Think we are going for a Silent Night pocket sprung + memory foam in firm, but haven't picked a frame yet.

Discovered Tempur pillows, expensive at £85/each but the comfort pillow is the most comfy pillow I've ever tried.

Simba is the most advanced mattress in the world, a unique combination of 2500 conical pocket springs and responsive memory foam.

Do you work for Simba by any chance?

My wife and I slept on a Tempur clone for 13 years. It sagged and sponged out at the sides but was incredibly comfortable right from night one. 
We're currently just had night 13 on our new Simba and it kicks the Tempur clone in the gonads. No way is it going back, best mattress I've ever slept on and I do a fair amount of travelling and have slept on many...

We have just visited Bensons, and ordered the iGel something or other. Very nice.

My Eve super king mattress arrived yesterday. I bought it thinking it'd be easier to get up the bloody stairs on my own as it comes in a box and being foam must be fairly light...Wrong!
The box is heavy and unwieldy and the handles tear cos of the weight.
Got to get my thinking cap on...
