Woman shocked after trying ‘roll-over’ test on brand new mattress

She'd tried all the life hacks to get a good night's sleep

Happy wife, happy life right?

Well, I had neither for a very long time. Partly because I'm not actually married, but mostly because of one devastating issue in the bedroom. Endless nights wondering when this pain will end. Anxious days dreading the inevitable moment I'd look my partner in the eye before climbing into bed, knowing what was about to happen.

It wasn’t until we found the Simba Hybrid Pro mattress that we finally fixed the problem.

Before your dirty mind goes to the gutter, allow me to clarify the issue at hand. It’s neither sexual, nor is it weird, it’s just plain annoying, and - not to be dramatic - soul destroying. I couldn’t sleep - and by extension, neither could the unfortunate person I share a bed with.

Night after night I'd toss and turn, cutting shapes ferociously on the sheets like George Sampson in his first Britain’s Got Talent audition. With every painful shimmy, I’d hear the savagely passive-aggressive sigh of my better half from across the duvet.

“Stop moving!” she’d cry, as I bravely wiped the tears from my sleep-deprived eyes onto the familiar sheets. With every agitated movement from me, she’d be half catapulted onto another corner of the sorry mattress. It felt like I couldn’t blink without it sending a 7.5 richter scale quake onto her side of the bed.

Every night became a tug-of-war for ownership of the sacred duvet, a battle of the dreamers, if you will. I have my suspicions that my partner had been doing weights in the day to train for this daily fight, because she always won, leaving me cold and alone with just a scrap of fabric to comfort me.

I couldn’t live like this, so I did what any sane person in my situation would do, and took to the internet to find a fix. After hours of contemplating leaving my partner and moving to a different country, I discovered the ‘Scandinavian sleep method’. Essentially, this is just where you both share a bed, but each have different duvets. I was delighted; I really thought this was going to save my relationship.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t. While the double duvet method did allow me to stay warm at night, it did nothing to solve the issue of not being able to move an inch without violently disturbing the person next to me. It was almost like we had the pleasure of going to a trampoline park every night, just without the funky grippy socks.

We had to come up with something else, something more drastic. This really wasn’t working, and we knew what the issue was; the mattress. That rectangular chunk of cushion which may as well have been a trampoline was ruining my life, my spine, and my sanity - and it simply had to end. It was time for the last resort.

Once again we took to the internet, in search of A) a bigger mattress and B) one that allowed us to move freely. It was then that we came across the Simba Hybrid Pro mattress.

I was immediately sold by the name alone - who wouldn’t want to sleep on something reminiscent of a futuristic Lion King gadget? Complete with 4,800 springs, this eight-layer mattress also includes an ‘open structure Simbatex foam’ which encourages airflow, and basically means you can sleep without your nightmare sweat seeping into the fabric around you.

Not only this, it also has a ‘cool touch’ extra layer, which you can zip on and off whenever you want to wash it.

I knew there and then that this was the missing puzzle piece I needed in my sleep-deprived life. We kissed the old mattress goodbye, and decided to try the Simba Hybrid Pro.

The day it arrived was like Christmas. The clean smell of a fresh mattress is unmatched, and one I'll savour until my dying day. We put it on our new bed, and stared at it. So fresh. So white. SO inviting. We had to wait six hours for it to fully puff out into its full glory, which was a painful wait - but worth it. The clock struck 8.00pm - bedtime (we had years of sleep to catch up on, don’t judge).

I climbed onto the mattress, lay there, and exhaled a sigh of relief. It was much firmer than the old one - and in the best way possible. Enough movement to feel like you’re on a bed, but not so much that you feel like you’re on quicksand.

It was time to do the ultimate ‘roll-over’ test. My partner lay still, while I rolled my sleeves up, closed my eyes and slowly rotated my body to face the other way.

Silence. The moment of truth.

My partner hadn’t even FELT that I’d moved. She turned around and stared at me, our eyes locked in the shared feeling of happy disbelief. We felt like jumping for joy - something we very much could have done, with as much aggression as we wanted, risk free.

Instead, we slept. A deep, cool sleep, all our worries absorbed into the high-tech mattress and sent to a land far away.

Not once did it get too hot, and not once did either of our movements disrupt the other.

It’s now been two weeks since we tried the new mattress, and I'm the most well-rested I've ever been, and one step closer to both a happy wife and a happy life.
