Denise Primbet, Glamour’s former Commerce Writer, describes the Simba Firm Hybrid Pillow as an excellent option, particularly for side sleepers like herself. She recommends it for anyone seeking a pillow that balances firmness, customisability, and cooling properties.
“Since switching to this pillow, my neck pain has eased, which is something I’ve struggled with for years,” says Denise adding “I needed something that keeps my neck aligned without being too firm or too soft”. This pillow contours well, holds its shape through the night, and doesn’t leave you waking up stiff like so many others on the market.
Why GLAMOUR approves: This body pillow comes with plentiful promises of keeping side sleepers supported during the night, providing hip and spinal support, and aiding the baby bumps of expectant mothers. It’s crafted with a nifty, elongated design, featuring a soft curve that sleepers can grip onto and uses heat control technology for an instantly cooling effect.
Neamh Randall, Glamour’s Commerce Photo Editor, calls it “one of the best pregnancy pillows I’ve tried,” praising its combination of comfort and support. “It provides full-body support, easing pressure on the back, hips, and shoulders – common trouble spots during pregnancy” she says.
I love its generous length as it allows it to be positioned in multiple ways, whether you prefer hugging it, placing it between your knees, or using it to support your bump. “Even after pregnancy, I still use it as a cosy body pillow, and with a removable, machine-washable cover, it’s easy to keep clean and fresh.”
Why GLAMOUR approves: This weighted blanket from Simba graced our list on the best weighted blankets for a reason. The Simba Orbit weighted blanket soothes and relaxes with its gentle, comforting weight, thanks to glass nano-beads that help ease restlessness.
Imitating the feeling of a soft, full-body hug, it promotes a calming effect known as deep pressure therapy, encouraging your nervous system to regulate and reduce stress. With its breathable and ultra-soft cotton cover, it also feels gentle against the skin.
It’s worth noting that it’s available only in a single size, making it better suited as a solo throw blanket for sofa naps if you share a bed with a partner. Additionally, there aren’t multiple weight options, and it’s not suitable for children.
Why GLAMOUR approves: Simba’s Black Friday sale last year was also overflowing with discounts on selected top-quality bed frames. This Camden bed frame is our pick, and has the most alluring details, including a cushioned headboard and pressure-relieving slats.
You can customise it to suit your space, choosing from six base designs, including five storage options, and picking from 34 beautiful colours and textures. Made in the UK using FSC-certified wood, it’s built to last, backed by a 10-year guarantee and a 200-night trial with free returns.
VIP delivery options are also available, so for an additional fee, Simba’s specialist team can assemble your bed for you, making setup completely hassle-free. Simba also offers a range of ottoman, divan, wooden, and metal beds, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on which ones get discounted this Black Friday.
