For NHS professionals, quality sleep isn't a luxury, it's essential. Whether you're working long shifts, night rotations, or balancing a busy home life, getting enough restorative sleep is vital for your physical health, mental wellbeing, and daily performance. That's why NHS Staff Benefits members can enjoy exclusive savings on everything Simba, helping you create the perfect sleep environment while making significant savings.

First things first: why is better sleep so important? 

Quality rest is crucial for recovery, concentration, stress management, and immune function. Sleep well, and you’ll find it easier to manage these things every day. Sleep badly, and you’ll see lower energy levels, mood, productivity, and overall wellbeing – making everyday challenges even harder to manage. Investing in science-backed, effective sleep products can improve the quality of your rest and help you wake up feeling refreshed, energised, and ready for the day ahead.

Meet Simba 

Simba is one of the world’s leading sleep brands, renowned for combining innovative sleep technology with award-winning comfort. Their mission is to help the world sleep better, and each product is engineered to tackle most common sleep problems in mind: inadequate support, overheating, partner disturbance. So while their products might feel incredibly comfortable, you can rest easy knowing they’re doing all the work to give you the highest quality sleep possible.

Award-winning Simba mattresses 

At the heart of the Simba range is its popular Hybrid® mattress range. Featuring patented Aerocoil® microsprings, airy, innovative Simbatex® foam and advanced comfort layers, they’re designed to be better than your usual mattress. 

How? Imagine spring-only mattresses. They’re supportive, don’t get too hot – but they can feel bouncy, hard, and you’ll pretty much always notice when your partner is tossing and turning. Now picture foam mattresses, like memory foam ones. They give you excellent motion isolation and feel super comfortable, but they’re also heavy, ‘sinky’ and – crucially – feel too hot.

Simba has taken the best elements of foam and springs to make a hybrid, but without the usual bugbears. Their Aerocoil® springs are conical, so they compress inwards (not sideways). This means they adapt to shapes and movement, reduce the transfer of movement across the mattress and push fresh air up. While Simbatex® foam has an open structure, so it lets air flow freely and doesn’t trap heat like memory foam. And it’s graphite-infused, to actively move heat away from you. It means you get the comfort of memory foam you love, plus the support of springs.

The range includes 

the Hybrid® Essential, the Hybrid®, the Hybrid® Pro, the Hybrid® Luxe and the Hybrid® Ultra, meaning there's an option to suit every budget and sleep preference. For those who prefer a more traditional mattress with nature’s best materials and the same Aerocoil® technology, the Natural Hybrid® collection is your best bet.

Have little ones in the family? Simba also has a Hybrid® Cot Bed Mattress, which has two sides designed to support babies from newborn right up to three years. They also have a Hybrid® Kids Mattress, which features Simba’s Aerocoil® spring technology and open structure foam to keep kids supported, cool and comforted right into teenagerhood.

Better sleep, from head to toe 

A great night's sleep is shaped by more than your mattress. Which is why Simba has engineered a comprehensive, award-winning range of sleep products that support you in every single way:

Adjustable pillows 

Simba pillows aren’t like other pillows. Not only have they got cool-touch Stratos® covers that mean you never have to flip them to find the cold side, selected designs are also height and firmness adjustable. Like their Which? award-winning Hybrid™ Pillow, which has a core made up of airy foam Nanocubes® that you can remove or add depending on how firm you’d like it. Then there’s the CustomFlex™ Pillow, a firmer-style pillow that has three interchangeable layers you can swap around to suit you: one firmer layer with foam FlexSprings™ and two lighter, loftier pillows filled with cloud-like Simba Renew™. If you need extra, cooling support through pregnancy, menopause or while side sleeping, the uniquely shaped Body Pillow is perfect for this.

Cool-touch duvets

For year-round comfort, Simba's Hybrid™ Duvets feature advanced temperature-regulating technology, like Stratos® in the covers, to help prevent overheating and keep you comfortable in every season. Choose from their all-rounder, the Hybrid™ Duvet, which feels delightfully soft and luxurious while helping to keep you cool; their Summer Hybrid™ Duvet, which offers the same luxury feel in a lower Tog – perfect for hot sleepers or warmer nights; and their Hybrid™ 3-in1 Duvet, a two-duvet design which you can adjust to suit your preference and saves you having to invest in a new duvet for every season. The usual way is snapping together for cold spells, keeping the thicker one for autumn and spring and the lighter one for summer.

Mattress-prolonging protectors 

Buying a mattress is a big investment, which is why Simba has created a range of mattress protectors to help you take care of it. Their most luxurious offering, the Quilted Performance Protector adds extra cushioning and helps soothe midnight sneezes in allergy season, their TripleShield Tencel Cool Protector brings cooling benefits and helps you stay dry at night, and their most wallet-friendly option, the TripleShield Bamboo Protector, gives breathable, waterproof protection.

Comfort-boosting toppers 

Not ready to buy a new mattress yet? Simba toppers offer an affordable way to upgrade your existing mattress, adding extra comfort, pressure relief and support. All three have Simba’s airy Simbatex® foam cushioning (even the Cool Foam Topper) while the Hybrid® Topper and Hybrid® Essential Topper have Aerocoil® spring support that’s unique to Simba toppers. Any of them are perfect for on the go and guest rooms, with the Hybrid® Topper giving top of the range cooling, support and comfort.

Beds that are stylish, supportive and practical 

Not only do Simba beds enhance the support of your Simba mattress, they help you create a clutter-free space with their selection of storage bases. You can go for a two or four drawer Divan bed, or if your sleep space is small – but you want you need maximum storage – Ottoman beds are a great shout. Don’t need storage and want to keep a more minimal look? Bed frames and wooden beds could be your best match. Choosing your base is all part of the handy design your own process, where you choose a headboard, from a range of beautiful colours and then your storage. It means your bed is tailored to your exact style, storage and comfort needs.

Selected ranges include free next day delivery, while Simba’s upholstered range is built to order within two weeks by expert craftspeople. They’re so confident in the quality, each one comes with an industry-leading 10-year guarantee. If you don’t have a mattress, you’ll have the option to buy one with your bed.

Innovatively made bed linen

Simba’s bed linen is a cut above usual bedding. It’s made by expert fabric makers in traditional Portuguese facilities, using only the highest quality fibres. And in true Simba spirit, they’ve applied their sleep tech expertise to each of the six fabrics in the range: crisp, hotel-quality Cotton Percale, cool but cosy Brushed Tencel, effortlessly luxurious, soft and iron-free Cool Linen, crinkly and baby-soft, breathable Soft Muslin, honeycomb-textured Waffle Cotton and Egyptian Cotton – made from the world’s finest cotton for silky, indulgent comfort.

Comfort outside the bedroom 

Comfort shouldn't end when you leave your bed. Simba's loungewear is designed to bring comfort throughout your daily routine, inside and out. Perfect for relaxing after a demanding NHS shift, they help turn everyday moments into opportunities for rest and recovery. Whether that’s Simba’s Reflexology Slippers, which massage your soles with every step to help boost full-body wellbeing, or their Soft Muslin Robes – which are airy and soft, ideal for slow mornings or nights in.

Looking for a thoughtful gift?
