News about the UK's soaring temperatures seems to be everywhere at the moment. Whether it's where to find a fan before they inevitably sell out, or how to get the most from your best portable air conditioner, everyone is looking for ways to stay cool. However, one of the best additions I've made this summer has actually been to my bed, and unsurprisingly, it comes from Simba.
Back in April, Simba unveiled a new bedding collection, bringing the same premium materials and thoughtful design found in its mattresses to the rest of the bedroom. The range features six different fabric options, each designed to improve airflow, regulate temperature and create a more comfortable sleeping environment.
Considering how much your bedding affects your sleep quality, it felt like a natural next step for the brand – and one I couldn't wait to try for myself.
Whilst there are six fabrics to choose from, ranging from Cotton Percale to Soft Muslin, I opted for the Cool Linen bundle. It's made from a blend of linen and Tencel fibres, combining linen's naturally breathable weave with Tencel's heat-regulating properties. The result is a fabric that feels noticeably cooler, softer and less scratchy than classic linen, whilst still maintaining a premium look.
The quality was obvious as soon as I took it out of the packaging. The bedding felt incredibly luxurious in the hand, and even better once it was on the bed. During the last heatwave, I'd reached the point where my duvet spent more time on the floor than over me, but the Cool Linen bedding helped me stay more comfortable throughout the night.
The fitted sheet was probably my favourite part, which provided a refreshing sensation that lasted far longer than I expected.
Aesthetically, it's just as impressive. I opted for the Pure White colourway, which instantly brightened my bedroom, whilst the wooden-effect button detailing added a stylish touch.
For me, this is a launch that feels like a natural extension of Simba's sleep expertise. The brand has already earned a reputation for its best mattresses, so expanding into thoughtfully designed bedding was only a matter of time. Paired together, they create a sleep setup that's not only comfortable but well-equipped for warmer nights.
Simba's new bedding collection is available now, with prices starting from £89 via Simba's online store.
