- You want a hybrid mattress. The Simba uses latex, microcoils, memory foam and a 7-zoned support foam. All this makes for a responsive mattress with good support.
- You sleep on your side or back and want a mattress that responds to pressure in a faster manner than most foam mattresses.
- You want good edge support. Because of the extra layer of foam around the perimeter of the coils, the Simba maintains its support around the edges.
- You’re of a light to medium build, as some users of a heavier build report that the mattress can be prone to sinkage on one side over time.
