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 love the Cooling Body Pillow! I am a side sleeper and this really helps me feel better to sleep with a body pillow.
A Mattress – mine needs replacing desperately
This sounds amazing
I would like to try the Orbit weighted blanket because I have heard they can be good for anxiety.
The weighted blanket would be great for cooler nights.
I’d love to try the Orbit weighted blanket as I wake up a couple of times and takes a while to get back to sleep so need the better, deeper sleep it promises!
The Simba hybrid firm pillow as I’m fed up of my present pillows turning to useless mush!
This cooling body pillow is actually my favourite item. I have recently just started perimenopause and my sleep is really being affected by me overheating and not being able to get comfortable. I currently use a memory foam pillow, either between my knees or to wrap my arm around but it’s not long enough! This would be perfect.
The Simba Orbit Weighted Blanket as it might help prevent my wife pulling the covers off me!
I would like to try the Simba Orbit Weighted Blanket. It might help my husband have a good sleep.
After reading your excellent review, I’d really like to try this pillow myself. Thanks for gIving so much useful information.
The performance bed linen sounds like something I might want to try.
The Simbatex Foam they use in their mattresses seems like heaven.. With hot flushes and fibromyalgia, sleep is very hard to get……. I am sure the Simba Hybrid mattress would be fantastic.
Simba Hybrid® Ultra Mattress would be my choice of product. I suffer with a bad back, hips, knees and ankles, so due to the highest ever spring count which offers more personalised contouring and optimum pressure relief, this mattress would be ideal for me
The Orbit Weighted blanket sounds great and I’d love to try it to improve my sleep, but have to say the Simba Cooling Body Pillow is my favourite. As a menopausal woman with lower back problems this sounds like a godsend.
The Simba Hybrid Pillow sounds great as you can customise the height of it
I love the sound of the Simba Hybrid® Ultra Mattress it sounds like heaven
I’d actually really like to try the full body pillow. I have back and hip issues, so something that can give me support is a must. I also really love the fact this can be used during pregnancy, too, as that’s something I will need to consider for the near future!
Only issue, though, is my husband might steal it! Lol
I would love the Hybrid Sleep Bundle for a perfect night’s sleep
Be interesting to try this. I have a simba pillow full of little squares of memory foam which is really great
Hybrid firm pillow it would help with supporting my neck with my chemo for neck cancer
The Simba Hybrid pro looks great to diffuse heat and give circulation! Love a good nights sleep!
I would love the Simba Hybrid Duvet as I often get too hot under mine
I’d love to try the hybrid mattress. I’m in need of a good night sleep. I don’t think I’ve had one in 11 years!
(My eldest is 10) 🤣
Hybrid mattress, I would love to try it so much for a good night’s sleep.
