Simba mattress deals used to be a regular occurence, but recently the brand has cut back on its promotional activities. That means that today's Simba discounts are well worth taking advantage of whilst they're available.
One of the UK's most popular bed-in-a-box brands, Simba is a well-known name in the mattress world, and for good reason. We've now tested multiple Simba mattresses here at Ideal Home and crowned the Simba Hybrid Original mattress number one in our guide to the best mattresses you can shop. That's quite the accolade considering how many mattresses we've put through the Ideal Home mattress testing process!
The good news? There are some great Simba mattress deals happening right now, and we've rounded up the best prices below.
Simba mattress deals October 2024
Here's our pick of the best Simba deals to shop today, as well as our insider tips for when to find the lowest prices throughout the year.
Today's best Simba mattress deals
Simba bundle deals
Simba bundle deals are designed for anyone who wants to get their whole sleep set-up sorted stress-free, with the basic bundle offering a mattress, pillows, and duvet, and the top-of-the-range bundles combining bed base too – often for not much more than the bed base costs alone, so if you're furnishing a bedroom from scratch they can be well worth checking out.
If your heart is set on Simba, but you can't find a Simba deal happening when you want to shop, then Simba's bedding bundles often offer good value for money compared to buying pieces separately.
When to shop
If you're looking for a Simba deal to save money on a new mattress, then it used to be the case that you'd never have to wait too long. In previous years Simba regularly ran discounting events that could see significant savings on its mattresses.
If we were speculating, we'd say that that might have been because the brand offers many of its mattresses delivered rolled in a box for convenience, and there's usually a time limit for how long a mattress can be stored this way. Depending on whether mattresses are stored flat or rolled in the manufacturer's warehouse, this can mean that mattress-in-a-box retailers need to run more frequent sales to clear stock reaching its expiry date.
However, more recently Simba's product line has changed, and, although it may not be related, we've noticed a reduction in the frequency of promotional sales, too.
That said, there are still a few key times of the year when Simba discounts tend to occur, including Amazon Prime Day, summer Bank Holidays, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and the Boxing Day and January sales.
After keeping track of discounts for several years, in our experience, Black Friday tends to be when Simba offers the biggest savings of the year, with up to 60% off selected lines in 2022, and up to 55% off selected lines in 2023. We've compiled our top tips on when to shop for the best Simba deals below.
Simba Amazon Prime Day deals
Amazon Prime Day – the brand's yearly price-slashing event – can mean some great Prime Day Simba deals.
In 2023, Prime Day deals ran from the 11th to the 12th of July, and then again through the 10th and 11th of October, and both events saw significant discounts at the Simba Amazon storefront. So far 2024 has seen Prime Day deals hit down on the 16th and 17th of July, so there's every chance this October may provide another chance to shop at a discount.
Keep an eye on our Amazon Prime Day deals page to be the first to hear when the next Prime Day event will take place.
In the meantime, you could sign up for Amazon Prime membership so you're all set to shop when the next Prime Day Simba deals take place. Generally, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the biggest discounts on Prime Day. You can sign up or renew your membership below. Usually, new Prime members can also access a free 30-day membership trial to test out its perks.
Simba Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals
The term 'Black Friday' originated in the US to denote the first day following Thanksgiving when retailers would cut prices to draw holidaymakers to shop their store's sales. Driven by global brands, the price-slashing event soon crossed the pond, and now Black Friday – closely followed by Cyber Monday – has become one of the UK's biggest consumer extravaganzas, rivaling traditional Boxing Day sales.
Often hailed as the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November, so the next time it will roll around is Friday 29th November 2024.
That said, in recent years, the event has spread to encompass more than just one day, with retailers starting Black Friday discounting earlier and earlier so that a full Black Friday 'week' of discounts isn't uncommon. In 2022 and 2023, we even saw retailers running Black Friday promotions throughout the whole month of November.
It can be a great time for Simba Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday Simba deals. In 2022 we saw Black Friday Simba deals of up to 60% off, and in 2023 up to 55% off, so we'll be keeping our eye out for 2024's top Black Friday Simba deals and Cyber Monday Simba deals as they drop.

Simba Boxing Day & January deals
If you're done with the turkey and ready to nab a bargain, then you'll usually find some great Boxing Day Simba mattress deals just after Christmas. In fact, in recent years, the brand's Boxing Day mattress deals have started well before Boxing Day itself, with discounts sometimes dropping as soon as pre-Christmas shipping dates have passed. In 2024 those Boxing Day discounts included 45% off selected Simba mattresses.
Hang on a bit longer than Boxing Day, and you might find an even lower price if the Simba mattress you have your eye on is included in Simba's January deals.
January can be a particularly good time of year to snap up a bargain on an end-of-line product. However, if a mattress is being discounted because it's a discontinued line, then waiting does run the risk that the product may sell out before it drops to its lowest price.
Simba Bank Holiday deals
The summer Bank Holidays can be another good time to check for Simba deals. Lots of retailers use these dates to take advantage of our spare time and tempt us to spend our time off from work shopping – and that can mean retailers are eager to offer discounts that encourage us to shop with them.
FAQs
How to get a Simba discount
If you're looking to save on Simba products then Ideal Home's exclusive Simba discount codes can help. On top of that Simba deals often crop up on the brand's website around the key dates we've listed above.
Does Simba always have a sale?
It used to be the case that Simba's website seemed to very often have a sale running. However, that hasn't been the case in much of 2024, instead discounting events have been fewer and further between.
The most common Simba deals we've seen in the past are up to 55% off mattresses and 25% off bedding – which means some brilliant savings on full RRP if you're considering investing in a high-ticket Simba product like a mattress. Recently this has been reduced to 25% off mattresses, although the full price of many products has also been slightly reduced.
Sometimes we've seen Simba deals get larger and reach 60% off, particularly during key sales events like Black Friday when mattress brands like Simba, Emma, REM-Fit, and more all compete to offer the most enticing discounts.
