Simba Memory Foam Travel Pillow

Product Information

In use, we found this pillow lovely and comfortable, and would recommend it for side and back sleepers, although its loft will probably be too high for front sleepers. The overall impression is a pillow that looks unlike any other – it's hefty, but technical and reassuringly doughy. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. Day to day life can be stressful, and if you are struggling to nod off, be sure to get a Simba weighted blanket. Achieving the right height for your personal preference is a journey and it took a few nights for me to get it exactly right.

Its sophisticated design allows you to customise the size and shape of the pillow so it will fit your head and neck perfectly. Its excellent temperature regulation is thanks to Simba’s Stratos technology, which is printed on one side of the pillow.

We used the Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow during warmer weather as well as cooler nights and found that it performed well during both. The Simba Hybrid Pillow can be cleaned by unzipping the cover, removing the nanocubes and machine-washing the outer casing at 40C. It was inspired by Outlast, a material originally designed for space exploration (NASA uses it in space suits) to help regulate temperature by absorbing, storing and releasing heat.

You can also pair the Aerocoil layer with a single Renew layer for a medium or firm pillow for back sleeping. The creators even suggest you could wrap the entire thing around your head to create a noise-isolating environment, complete with eye mask and pillow all in one. But if you're looking for a hardcore headrest, you'll struggle to find a better bedtime companion than this.

It comes with a simple leaflet that explains how to combine the layers for your sleep style and preferred firmness. And it’s hard to match the sheer, marshmallow-y give of a feather pillow with a block of artificial foam. One study from the University of Manchester found that the average pillow that has been used for more than 18 months contains at least a million fungal spores. If Simba Hybrid pillow doesn't tick all the boxes for you, here are two other foam-based pillows to consider.

Once I tweaked the height to get it exactly right (initially it was too high), it was frankly glorious to sleep on – the outer material feels thick and plush and my head sunk nicely into it without disappearing.These Nanocubes can be added and removed to adjust the loft and make it the perfect height to support any sleeping position. It’s this "trunk" that makes the pillow so special: where regular U-shaped travel pillows support just the back or the sides of your head, this pillow supports you at almost every angle. Comfort: How comfortable the pillow was to wear, both when walking around the airport and while sleeping, was one of the most important factors to us when testing. If you need a reliable and adjustable pillow for side-sleeping or back-sleeping then the Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow is a great choice.

With two softer layers also included, Simba’s pillow also provides exceptional levels of comfort and posture support. However, if you’re one of those sleepers that folds their pillow in half or constantly moves to find the right position, then this is the best pillow for you. Just how long will depend on factors such as whether or not you sleep on them every night, how often you wash the covers and how often you fluff up the Nanocubes.It’s hard not to wax lyrical about this pillow, which is the plumpest and most comfortable down I’ve ever slept on. If you are after something softer or flatter, then Simba’s original Hybrid Pillow might be a more suitable choice for you. With different shapes, sizes and materials now available, there's a lot to consider when choosing a travel pillow to pack alongside all your holiday outfit ideas.
