Simba’s mission has always been to help the world sleep better, to counter the disastrous health effects of poor sleep via technological innovation and design. Following analysis of the body data from 10 million+ sleepers they produced their first, game-changing mattress in 2016, and have gone on to create a range of innovative products that provide accessible sleep solutions. Indeed Simba is a founding partner of GenM, working with them to provide menopausal women with the right products to ease night-time symptoms, and their NHS scheme has helped over 43,000 healthcare workers sleep better since 2020; they also work closely with End Youth Homelessness, donating nearly £300,000 worth of mattresses and bedding to help young people build stable and successful lives - on a good night’s sleep. But lack of sleep isn’t the only crisis the world faces. So Simba are committed to a business strategy that also addresses the climate emergency, along with intolerable levels of inequality and injustice; theirs is a strategy that balances people and planet with profit. To meet their target of net zero by 2030, Simba have established a network of local manufacturing to reduce logistics mileage, and made innovative use of organic or sustainable materials in zero waste, en
