Denise Primbet, Glamour’s former Commerce Writer, describes the Simba Firm Hybrid Pillow as an excellent option, particularly for side sleepers like herself. She recommends it for anyone seeking a pillow that balances firmness, customisability, and cooling properties.
“Since switching to this pillow, my neck pain has eased, which is something I’ve struggled with for years,” says Denise adding “I needed something that keeps my neck aligned without being too firm or too soft”. This pillow contours well, holds its shape through the night, and doesn’t leave you waking up stiff like so many others on the market.
Why we love it: This body pillow comes with plentiful promises of keeping side sleepers supported during the night, providing hip and spinal support, and aiding the baby bumps of expectant mothers. It’s crafted with a nifty, elongated design, featuring a soft curve that sleepers can grip onto and uses heat control technology for an instantly cooling effect.
Neamh Randall, Glamour’s Commerce Photo Editor, calls it “one of the best pregnancy pillows I’ve tried,” praising its combination of comfort and support. “It provides full-body support, easing pressure on the back, hips, and shoulders – common trouble spots during pregnancy” she says.
I love its generous length as it allows it to be positioned in multiple ways, whether you prefer hugging it, placing it between your knees, or using it to support your bump. “Even after pregnancy, I still use it as a cosy body pillow, and with a removable, machine-washable cover, it’s easy to keep clean and fresh.”
Why we love it: Simba’s Black Friday sale last year was also overflowing with discounts on selected top-quality bed frames. This Camden bed frame is our pick, and has the most alluring details, including a cushioned headboard and pressure-relieving slats.
You can customise it to suit your space, choosing from six base designs, including five storage options, and picking from 34 beautiful colours and textures. Made in the UK using FSC-certified wood, it’s built to last, backed by a 10-year guarantee and a 200-night trial with free returns.
VIP delivery options are also available, so for an additional fee, Simba’s specialist team can assemble your bed for you, making setup completely hassle-free. Simba also offers a range of ottomans, divans, wooden, and metal beds, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on which ones get discounted this Black Friday.
Hybrid® Essential Mattress
Why we love it: These days, affordable mattresses are often just as high-performing as some of the most expensive mattresses on the market. Simba’s Hybrid Essential Mattress is a seriously smart middle ground in our opinion. It delivers that fresh-bed feel without the premium price tag, and Black Friday makes it an even more tempting time to finally retire your tired old mattress.
The Hybrid Essential pairs Simba’s well-loved Aerocoil spring layer with supportive foam to create a balanced, breathable and comfort-focused sleep surface. It’s designed to relieve pressure, reduce motion transfer and keep you cooler throughout the night — all the things your current mattress might be missing.
Hybrid® Essential Topper
Why we love it: If a full-on mattress upgrade isn’t in the budget right now, don’t sleep on (literally) the power of a great mattress topper. Simba’s Hybrid Essential Mattress Topper is one of the easiest ways to level up your bed without the faff or expense of replacing the whole thing.
