Simba pillows combine adjustable fillings with cooling fabrics to give you tailored support for your head, neck and body. The Simba hybrid pillow has a Nanocube® core you can add to or take from to set your own height and feel, while the Simba body pillow supports the hips and spine of side sleepers and expectant mothers. Both feature Simba's Stratos® cool-touch cover to help you sleep cooler. At Land of Beds, you get free UK delivery on orders over £100 and finance options on eligible orders.

Most foam and fibre pillows have a fixed height, so once you buy one, you live with how it feels. Simba pillows work differently. With the Simba hybrid pillow, you can physically change how much filling is inside, making it lower, higher, softer or firmer until it suits the way you sleep.
That adjustability comes from a combination of materials, each doing a specific job. Together, the foam core holds its supportive shape through the night while the cover and mesh border help release excess warmth.
| Feature | What It Is | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Nanocube® core | Tiny foam cubes held in a knitted, zipped inner bag | Cushioning, so you don't feel individual cubes. Their shape lets more air through than a solid piece of foam, and you can remove cubes to change the height and firmness. |
| Simba Renew Bio Clusters | Soft, down-like fibre clusters made from recycled plastic fibres | Adds plush cushioning and helps air circulate. Hypoallergenic, so it suits allergy sufferers. |
| Stratos® cool-touch cover | A cover side designed to wick away moisture and help keep you cooler | Works best with the Stratos® side closest to you. Helps stop the pillow feeling warm and clammy as the night goes on. |
| Breathable mesh border | A mesh panel around the edge of the Simba hybrid pillow | Lets fresh air circulate through the pillow for a cooler, fresher feel. |
The Simba hybrid pillow was named a Which? Best Buy in 2023 and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute in 2024.
The right pillow keeps your head and neck in line with your spine. How much height you need depends mostly on the position you sleep in.
| Sleeping Position | What You Need | Best Simba Pillow |
|---|---|---|
| Side | Enough height to fill the gap between your shoulder and head | Simba hybrid pillow with most of the Nanocube® filling in, paired with the Simba body pillow for hip support |
| Back | Medium height that supports the natural curve of your neck | Simba hybrid pillow with some Nanocube® filling removed |
| Front | A lower, softer pillow that stops your neck bending upwards | Simba hybrid pillow with more Nanocube® filling removed |
| Pregnancy or extra body support | Support along the body, not just under the head | Simba body pillow |

The Simba hybrid pillow suits every sleeping position because you set the height yourself. Start with the full filling, sleep on it for a few nights, then remove cubes gradually until your neck feels supported without being pushed forward. It's a standard UK pillow size, measuring 45 x 70cm.
The Simba body pillow is designed specifically for side sleepers. At 120cm long, you can hug it, rest your top arm over it and tuck it between your knees, which helps keep your hips level and your spine better aligned through the night. That can help ease pressure on your hips and lower back, making it a good choice for side sleepers, pregnant women, and anyone wanting more full-body support. After pregnancy, it's also ideal for breastfeeding and gives extra back support when you're sitting up in bed. It has a Stratos® cool-touch cover and a soft Simba Renew Bio Clusters fill.
Both Simba pillows have removable cotton covers that are machine washable at 40°C on a delicates cycle and can be tumble dried on a low heat. The Simba body pillow can go in the washing machine whole, filling included, at 40°C. Reshape it while it's still damp. On the Simba hybrid pillow, only the outer cover should be washed, so take the Nanocube® inner out first.
Simba builds sustainability into the materials, too.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Are Simba pillows good? | Yes. The Simba hybrid pillow was named a Which? Best Buy in 2023 and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute in 2024. Unlike fixed-fill pillows, it uses removable Nanocube® foam cubes, so you can adjust the height and firmness to keep your neck in line with your spine. Its Stratos® cool-touch cover is designed to wick away moisture and help keep you cooler through the night. |
| Do you put pillowcases on Simba pillows? | Yes, you can absolutely use pillowcases with Simba pillows. The Simba hybrid pillow is a standard size and works with standard pillowcases. Putting a pillowcase over it provides an extra layer of freshness and protection. The Simba body pillow doesn't need a pillowcase, as its cover is washable. |
| What are the main benefits of a Simba body pillow? | Full-body posture support. Resting it between your knees and under your top arm helps keep your hips level and your spine aligned, which can ease pressure on your lower back and hips when you sleep on your side. It also gives cushioned support to your joints, suits pregnancy, and can be used afterwards for breastfeeding or as back support when sitting up. |
| Can you wash a Simba pillow in a washing machine? | Yes, but what you can wash depends on the pillow. On the Simba hybrid pillow, the zip-off cotton outer cover is machine washable at 40°C on a delicates cycle and can be tumble dried on low. Don't wash or tumble dry the Nanocube® inner. The Simba body pillow can be washed whole, cover and filling, at 40°C and tumble dried on low. Reshape it while damp. |
| How do you adjust the height and firmness of a Simba hybrid pillow? | Unzip the outer cover, then open the zipped inner bag holding the Nanocube® core. Take out a handful of cubes at a time and try the pillow before removing more. Keep any cubes you take out in the storage bag supplied, so you can add them back later if you want more height. Zip both layers closed and sleep with the Stratos® side facing you. |
| Are Simba pillows hypoallergenic? | Yes. Both Simba pillows are hypoallergenic and suitable for allergy and asthma sufferers. Washing the removable cover regularly at 40°C helps keep your sleeping surface fresh. For more options, browse our anti-allergy pillows. |
