- Visco Memory Foam

Now it’s time to expand this Simba VS OTTY comparison and compare both of these mattresses by category!
Materials
Simba
Simba mattress is consisted of layers of Visco Memory Foam, 2,500 Conical pocket Springs, Simbatex and High-Density Foam. These layers together create a hypoallergenic, breathable, bouncy and comfortable mattress with just a 25 cm thickness. The Simba Hybrid mattress has a zip-off, removable and washable hypoallergenic cover, and a cooling comfort layer which fights overheating. The reason why some hot sleepers may love it.
Beside the conical pocket springs, the supportive pocket springs will make sure you stay in the right sleeping position, and the responsive memory foam will make sure you feel comfortable all night. All of this combined together creates and expensive and luxurious mattress that you definitely need to try out.
OTTY
OTTY mattress has as a removable and washable polyester cover to make your night’s sleep even more breathable. The first foam layer, which is the Cool Blue Gel imbued memory foam, has pin-core technology which helps regulate your body temperature. The HD memory foam base layer prevents dips and sagging. Most importantly, we have the 2000-spring core with encapsulated pocket springs. The mattress uses a special 1.6mm gauge, 14cm long encapsulated pockets spring which adds durability, eliminates motion transfer and also adds more support.
The luxurious reflex foam adapts to body posture and relieves pressure from the critical points on the body. And finally, we have a side support layer which prevents the mattress from losing shape while preventing overheating by creating a side airflow system.
Support
Simba
Simba mattress is designed with every sleeping position in mind. They also made sure your partner doesn’t feel your movements, or vice versa. This is a strong feature of this mattress simply because the combination of pocket springs and memory foam really adapts to the body and relieves pressure.
OTTY
Otty mattress is especially good at supporting the main pressure points and keeping your body in perfect alignment as well, and it really is thanks to the spring core. By also isolating movement, it’s easy to sleep with a partner and you probably won’t wake up if the other one has to get up.
Comfort
Simba
Simba mattress is on the softer side of the spectrum. You will get that sinking feeling and you can cosy up, while also staying relatively supported. The mattress reacts to pressure, temperature and movement, so you will definitely experience this mattress like sleeping on a fluffy cloud.
OTTY
OTTY mattress is mainly supportive and marketed in a way that you will definitely enjoy its gentle support. Having in mind that the spring core is there for a reason, if you’re a fan of soft mattresses that you could sink in, this mattress is not for you. However, if you like a firm (not brick-firm though!) mattress, which at the same time takes care of motion transfer, this is the mattress for you.
Bounce
Simba
Has medium bounce, just enough for you to easily get up from the bed and not have trouble moving around it. But, the important thing is, that it’s practically silent.
OTTY
OTTY mattress has medium bounce. The spring core sees to that. However – it’s not going to feel like a trampoline – the two foam layers in between you and the springs make sure to that.
Breathability
Simba
Has some upsides and downsides when it comes to breathability. The good news is that it’s breathable enough to not let you overheat. The bad news is that the mattress is huge and heavy, and maintenance can be a menace, whether you intended to flip the mattress or clean it.
OTTY
Is highly breathable and hypoallergenic, with side support that also serves as the airflow system, letting air circulate trough all areas of the mattress, removing excess heat. The topmost layer is made from high quality memory foam imbued with Cool Blue Gel, which regulates the temperature. So, heat retention is basically null, at least where it counts.
Durability
Both Simba and OTTY mattress have a 10-year guarantee and a 100-day trial, so you can safely order any of these two (or both), and in case you don’t like them, you can return them and get your refund. Shipping is free! As for the part where we say which one will last longer – it’s definitely Otty. Otty has that famous edge support we mentioned which not only helps the mattress to stay in shape for many years to come, but it also makes the mattress ‘breathe’ enough that it won’t have any moisture or dust problems for a long time.

And the winner is…
This was a difficult job for us as both OTTY and Simba have their own advantages. The reason behind that is simple: these two mattresses are so alike (firstly for their memory foam layer), but so different in many ways. We cannot be biased in this Simba VS OTTY review and say that one is better than the other simply because one is softer and the other is firmer. That falls down to the user because it’s a preference that varies in many people all over the world. We cannot also compare looks, because both of these hybrid mattresses look awesome and come in all the various bed frame sizes, too.
What we can do, though, is compare the price. Otty is significantly cheaper than Simba, and for a high-end mattress like this, that’s why we have to name him the winner. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy or try Simba Mattress out – we simply state that Otty will definitely suit your pocket more. Alternatively, you can check the comparison of Otty and Casper mattresses since these two are similar in some way as well.
You have to have in mind that Simba and Otty are very similar. With the exception of softness vs. firmness and price, they are practically the same product – a highly researched, top-notch quality mattress made for the benefit of the user. So, no matter what you choose – Simba or OTTY, we are sure you’ll be more than satisfied!
