Why it earned its place
Its adjustable construction gives it broader suitability than a fixed-height pillow. Simba's Nanocube core can be added to or removed, so height and firmness can be changed rather than guessed at the point of purchase.
What stands out
- Adjustable height and firmness by removing or adding Nanocubes
- Core of CertiPUR-certified foam Nanocubes with a polyester-fibre comfort filling
- Cotton outer cover with Simba's Stratos finish on one side
- Open mesh border, which Simba describes as improving airflow
- Zip-off cover, machine washable at 40°C
- Reusable storage bag included, plus one for spare Nanocubes
- 200-night trial listed by Simba
Worth knowing
- Getting the height right may take some experimentation with the Nanocubes.
- Simba describes the Stratos cover as cooling; how cool any pillow feels varies from sleeper to sleeper.
- Simba does not state a single recommended sleeping position for this pillow.
Who we'd consider it for
Anyone unsure of the height or firmness they prefer, couples who want the same pillow set up differently, and people who like the idea of adjusting rather than replacing.
Who might look elsewhere
If you already know you want a deep, firm side-sleeper shape, the Kally is more specific and much cheaper. If you prefer natural fillings, look at the Woolroom.
