Hybrid mattress - Simba or Otty (or neither?)

Hi
I am looking for a new super king size mattress, and would like a hybrid.  I've been looking at the Simba and the Otty, but can't decide which to get because of the reviews. People seem to either love them or hate them.  Some people report issues with the mattress sinking or becoming uncomfortable after a while - can this be caused by a poor bed frame rather than being an issue with the mattress?  If so, what sort of bed frame is best to use with these mattresses?
Would appreciate any opinions on either of these mattresses.  Thanks

  • We have a Simba double mattress. Had it for 2 years now on a wooden (so slatted) bed frame. We love it, it’s the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever had and it’s not got any less so or started sinking yet. That’s with 2 people sleeping in it. 

    Simba recommend a divan or if you do have slats that they aren’t more than X distance apart (would have to check). Not a problem for us anyway.
  • I have a simba pro. Would definitely recommend it’s a good mix of springs and foam and no sinkage yet. Their pillows / duvet are also good.

    I have the experience of both as i have both these mattresses.

    Simba is slightly softer than Otty and more comfy but i feel otty is better as you can easily unzip the cover if it ever gets dirty and wash it. 

    not much in them 


  • I've had an Otty for about 18 months. Nice and firm, really comfortable, and has definitely helped my bad back. I'd also recommend the pillows, which are also very comfortable and don't need replacing all the time like other pillows I've had.

    Do not buy from Otty, my mattress lasted 3 years and now I have a bad back, and the claims under a 10 year guarantee is impossible.  Look at all their reviews and pay close attention.

    You are posting against a 5 year old question.

    If you have a rant to raise then there is a section of the forum for that at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/praise-vent-warnings

    You can then give some detail that may be useful to people. than hidden away in some derelict thread.
