Simba Cooling Body Pillow Review
PR Sample – I received the body pillow from Simba included in this post for consideration on my blog.
I’ve long wondered if a body pillow would be useful to help my posture as I sleep, so when Simba got in touch and asked if I would like to review something from their range it seemed like a good time to give it a try.
Simba
Simba originally supplied thread to manufacturers for mattresses across the world from their Derbyshire factory. However, in 2002 the idea grew that they could try and use their thread to create their own mattress line.
They found that the leap into a new product was a huge success but they wanted to take it further. Making sure their mattresses helped provide the best night’s sleep by being both high-tech and affordable.
Utilising three experts in their field Simba built a mattress that uses cutting-edge design, foam and springs which have been tried, tested and changed to make it into a brand that boasts over 250,000 5-star reviews, 60 industry awards and is slept on by over 1 million people.
Having only bought a new mattress last year I didn’t feel it was the right time for me to be testing a new one. However, the body pillow seemed like an interesting try especially as I had wondered about buying one previously.
Simba Cooling Body Pillow
Designed with side sleepers in mind this body pillow has been designed to help with comfortable hip and spinal alignment. It can also be used as back support while sitting up and support when nursing babies.
The pillow has been made with Simba Renew Bio™ fill and comes with a washable, cotton cover with Stratos® cool-touch tech. When it comes to sizing it is around 120 x 35 cm in size.
Designed to be in a gentle curved shape the pillow has been made to ensure comfortable alignment of the body while you sleep on your side. Helping to relieve pressure on the shoulder and hips.
Simba says the correct way to use the pillow is to; “hug the pillow with your arms and arrange your legs around the bottom; one leg should be on top, knee slightly bent, the other will be underneath and a little straighter.”
Inside the pillow you will find Simba Renew Bio™ fill, which has been made with recycled PET bottle fibres gently combed into soft, airy clusters, providing cloud-like cushioning. The pillowcase utilises Stratos® temperature control which makes it cool to the touch.
My Thoughts on the Simba Body Pillow
I have hypermobility and have long slept with my arms wrapped around something to stop my shoulders slumping into each other as I sleep and have thought about doing similar with my legs. This body cushion allows me to solve both of those issues with one pillow keeping both my shoulders and hips in better alignment as I sleep.
That said it is going to take some getting used to, as does any change, but I think it could help in the long run to have better posture as I sleep.
The cool touch to the pillowcase is strange to feel in the winter. However it doesn’t stay cold, it’s a first-touch feeling, sort of like when you turn the pillow to the cold side. I think it will probably be more of a benefit come summer.
My main worry about the pillow is how I get the cover back on after washing it – but I shall deal with that hurdle when I come across it.
Overall I am pleased with the Simba Cooling Body Pillow, it does help me lay better in bed and has been well thought through and designed.
The Simba Cooling Body Pillow comes in at £108, however, at the time of writing is on sale for £81.75.
Pin It!
I’d love to try the Hybrid® Firm Pillow because I often wake up with an aching neck. I much prefer a firm pillow but even ones labeled as firm I find too squishy!
The weighted blanket for a good night’s sleep
I like their selection of mattress toppers, especially the Hybrid® Essential Mattress Topper which looks excellent
The body pillow looks so comfy!
Simba Hybrid® Ultra Mattress sounds good
The 3 in 1 duvet is exactly what i need i end up with one leg crossed over the duvet yet wrapped over my shoulder i seriously look like a burrito haha
My favourite is the Simba Hybrid® Luxe Mattress. Looks fabulous.
Lots of good products to select from, but I need a new mattress, so the Simbatex Essential Mattress would be ideal.
The 3 in 1 duvet is right up my street, I go from hot to cold very quickly and this appears to be a godsend.
Ohh, would love the hybrid duvet as desperately need new one
I’d like to try the Summer Hybrid duvet as I always get too hot.
The hybrid pillow because I’m always trying to find a comfy pillow!
Who doesn’t love the cold side of a pillow, it’s bliss
The 3 in 1 duvet as you can adjust it depending on the time of year x
I would love to try the cooling body pillow as I have a hip problem and have to use something between my knees to keep my hips aligned at night and this looks so much more comfortable than what I currently use
Simba Hybrid® Ultra Mattress sounds like it would give a great nights sleep
I think Simba Hybrid Pillow would be great to try 🙂
The Hybrid® Pillow looks like something I’d like to try but it’s a bit expensive to try something.
I’d love to try the Simba Hybrid® Ultra mattress because I get so warm in bed
Actually, the body pillow is the thing I would most like to try. I do sleep with a pillow between my knees (at least, I start off the night that way) but would love to try a whole body one.
I’d like to try the Hybrid® Mattress Topper. My current mattress is only just over 2 years old but already it’s losing a bit of it’s original springiness, so the Topper could be just whats needed.
Simbatex foam’s overall range looks excellent
My favourite product that they sell is 3 in 1 duvet as I like the adaptability
I like the hybrid pillow as it looks really comfy.
Would love to try the Simba Hybrid Pillow!
