Bensons for Beds is offering big discounts on top-rated mattresses right now(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n

When it comes to buying a mattress, it pays to invest, as a high-quality design can improve sleep quality and support the shoulders, neck, and back. But with many of the best options costing upwards of \u00a31,000, finding a good deal is often easier said than done.<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s why a current sale at Bensons for Beds<\/a> is turning heads. The retailer has slashed prices across a range of mattresses from Simba Sleep – and in some cases, the discounts are even better than buying direct.<\/p>\n

For instance, a double-sized Simba Hybrid Essential mattress<\/a> is now \u00a3584.99, down from \u00a3649.99. And, as mentioned, it’s cheaper than the price listed on Simba’s website<\/a>, where the same size is \u00a3649.<\/p>\n

The Hybrid Essential features Simba’s signature Aerocoil spring layer to minimise partner disturbance (a major plus for light sleepers) alongside a five-zoned responsive foam base that offers targeted support for key pressure points like the hips and shoulders. As with all Simba Sleep mattresses, it has a medium-firm feel, designed to suit a wide range of sleepers and promote better overall sleep quality.<\/p>\n

The Essential has had some great reviews from shoppers<\/a>, with one sharing: “Finally, after years of struggling, I finally found a mattress that can support my back properly, and I can wake up without any cramps! I was a bit worried that the Essential line might not be enough, but even the most budget one is premium quality.”<\/p>\n

The Simba Hybrid Essential mattress gives sleepers access to the best of both worlds, with springs and the comfort of foam.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a second shared: “Cannot praise this mattress enough for getting the best night’s sleep I have had in a long time, would highly recommend.”<\/p>\n

However, someone noted that the mattress was ‘too firm for them.’ For those sensitive to pressure and would prefer a softer mattress, TEMPUR’s Pro SmartCool Soft Mattress (\u00a31,543, Furniture Village<\/a>) or My Next Mattress’ Triple Soft Mattress (\u00a3449<\/a>) may be better options.<\/p>\n

At Bensons for Beds, the Hybrid Essential isn’t the only deal worth noting. A double-sized Simba Hybrid Pro mattress<\/a> is now \u00a3647.99, down from \u00a31,199.99, saving shoppers \u00a3552. That’s once again undercutting Simba’s own website, where the same mattress retails for \u00a31,119.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hybrid Pro<\/a> stands out for its clever construction, combining layers of foam and springs to create a restful, cradled feel without trapping heat. The result is a balance of cushioning comfort and breathability, ideal for those who want support without overheating through the night.<\/p>\n

Like the Essential, the Pro is also a hit with shoppers, with many praising its comfort, support and temperature regulation. This happy fan said: “Great mattress, perfect for couples. No rolling together and no disturbance from each other’s movements. Comfortable yet firm, all in all great value for money and a great night’s sleep.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another added: “Totally different feel from my previous spring mattress, but after a few nights, I now absolutely love it, it’s like sleeping on a cloud.”<\/p>\n

However, someone else noted: “The mattress turned out to be too soft for me.” But on a brighter note, this Hybrid Pro<\/a> devotee said: “I’m on the heavier side, and this gives me the perfect amount of support. I no longer wake up with a stiff back or hips.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shopping writer Lauren has discovered a third-party retailer quietly listing identical mattresses for significantly lessThis article contains affiliate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[162811,162812,72,572,114948,61,60,13722,2686],"class_list":["post-359566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-bedding","tag-best-deals","tag-business","tag-deals","tag-homeware","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-shopping-advice","tag-sleep"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
