In a world where good sleep can be as elusive as a perfect relationship, Simba’s Hybrid® Original mattress is being hailed as a game-changer. The mattress, described as “the most comfortable” by countless satisfied shoppers, is even being credited with helping couples resolve their sleep-related woes and, in some cases, “saving relationships.”
The rise of ‘Sleep Divorces’
For many couples, sleep disturbances caused by snoring, fidgeting, or other night-time interruptions have driven them to consider what’s been dubbed as a ‘sleep divorce’—opting for separate bedrooms. This trend, popular among celebrities, is on the rise as couples strive to prioritise their rest. However, sleep expert Lisa Artis, Deputy CEO of The Sleep Charity, warns that separate sleeping arrangements might not be the answer. According to Artis, while it may seem like an effective way to manage different sleep patterns, it can also lead to emotional disconnection.
A new study by Simba adds a fascinating layer to the discussion, highlighting a significant generational divide. The study found that over 60% of young Brits aged 18-34 believe that better sleep would enhance their connection with their partner, while only 33% of baby boomers (aged 65+) feel the same way. This suggests that younger generations may place more value on sleep quality as a factor in relationship satisfaction.
How Simba’s Hybrid® Mattress is changing the game
Simba’s Hybrid® Original mattress is being touted as a solution to the common sleep issues that drive couples apart. Combining 5 layers of innovative materials—including 1,900 supportive titanium Aerocoil® micro springs and an extra-deep layer of Simbatex® foam—the Hybrid mattress is designed to adapt to every body type and sleep style. This means that couples no longer have to suffer from disturbances caused by a partner’s movements.
Paul R, one of many satisfied customers, shared his story:
“Last year my girlfriend declared that she would no longer stay over at my house due to not being able to get a good night’s sleep, and unfortunately not for the reasons you’re thinking of. She’s used to the finer things in life and my budget bed was simply not cutting the mustard.”
He continues his review by saying “After some gentle persuasion and also purchasing some new high-end sheets, my girlfriend agreed to stay over again. I’m pleased to report that all is well in the bedroom department now and we’re both enjoying a comfy night’s kip. According to my Fitbit I’m also getting about 1 hours extra sleep per night.
Thanks Simba for helping me to save my relationship, I was starting to think it was me she was avoiding and not the mattress….”
Another customer, Naomi O, added, “Somehow my partner no longer snores!! I also barely feel him getting in and out of the bed which is great for not disturbing me. Wish we’d have invested in Simba a longggggg time ago but better late thank [sic] never they say!”
Is co-sleeping really worth it?
Despite the increasing acceptance of sleep divorces, Simba’s research suggests that many young couples want to ‘recouple’ in the bedroom. Over 60% of respondents in the 18-34 age group believe a better night’s sleep would improve their relationships, compared to just 30% of baby boomers.
Sleep expert Lisa Artis advocates for co-sleeping, citing the emotional and physical benefits it brings. “While sleeping separately might seem like a solution to individual sleep issues, the benefits of co-sleeping for emotional bonding, conflict resolution, and overall health make a strong case against sleep divorces,” Artis explains.
Why investing in a good mattress matters
Investing in a high-quality mattress like Simba’s Hybrid® can significantly impact sleep quality and, by extension, relationship satisfaction.
As one shopper, Keith K, shared in his review,
“I went to Simba and ordered the Hybrid pro mattress which was delivered in less than 12 hours to my door (amazingly quick service) Now talk about sleeping in cloud 9. Me and the missis absolutely love the mattress and it’s so comfy. Not too hot and full body feels supported. With having new baby we are up quite a few tines [sic] with the baby wirh [sic] feeding and last few days have loved a cheeky afternoon nap and it’s hard to get back up. Also the top zips off for easy washing specially [sic] for any accidents with the baby. Massive thumbs up from me and the missis”
These glowing testimonials show that a good mattress can indeed be a relationship saviour. By minimising disturbances and improving overall sleep quality, couples are able to maintain a sense of closeness and intimacy—something that’s often lost when sleep becomes a nightly struggle.
A new take on sleep wellness
Simba’s mattress, built using data from over 10 million sleepers, offers a unique blend of comfort and support. With features like a removable top layer for easy cleaning and nine support zones to adapt to different body shapes, the Hybrid® is engineered to address the most common sleep issues faced by couples.
As Linda M, a happy customer, puts it:
“I bought this mattress for my daughter and her partner! She could not believe how amazing she slept and couldn’t feel her partner move throughout the night. She said she can now fall asleep on her back rather than having to get to a certain position. I am the most awesome mother”
5 scientifically backed reasons why couples should say goodbye to ‘Sleep Divorces’
1. Emotional Bonding and Intimacy
Sharing a bed enhances emotional bonding and intimacy. Physical closeness releases oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which promotes feelings of affection and trust. Studies suggest that couples who sleep together report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and emotional intimacy
2. Improved Sleep Quality
Contrary to the belief that sleeping separately improves sleep quality, research shows that co-sleeping can actually enhance sleep. Couples often synchronise their sleep patterns, leading to more restful and deeper sleep. Additionally, the sense of security and comfort from a partner’s presence can reduce stress and anxiety, which are common disruptors of sleep.
3. Better Conflict Resolution
Couples who sleep together tend to resolve conflicts more effectively. Physical proximity provides opportunities for late-night conversations and resolutions, reducing the likelihood of going to bed angry. This practice can foster better communication and understanding within the relationship.
4. Enhanced Mental and Physical Health
Sleeping next to a partner has been linked to various health benefits. Co-sleeping can help lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and boost the immune system. Moreover, regular physical contact and emotional support from a partner can contribute to improved mental health, reducing the risk of depression and anxiety.
5. Strengthened Relationship Stability
Regular physical closeness, including during sleep, reinforces the connection and commitment between partners. Couples who sleep together often report feeling more secure and valued in their relationship. This stability can be crucial for long-term relationship success and satisfaction.
If you’re looking to improve not just your sleep but also your relationship, it might be time to take a closer look at what Simba has to offer. As many happy customers would tell you, a high-quality mattress could be the key to a happier, more harmonious partnership.
