That thing we talk about all the time. Lack thereof…. We’d owned our Sealy mattress for 9 years and after our fab first night away from the girls at Cotswold Waterpark hotel we came home to our old faithful mattress and both winced. Hubby said it first, “we need a new mattress”. But their reviews are poor. (See here)

The thought and testing that had gone into the Simba mattress, their 10 year warranty, 100 day sleep guarantee (or they’ll pick it up and refund you) all made me think this is the mattress for us. Hubby was delighted as he’d apparently seen an advert for the Simba hybrid mattresses near a business park advertising how they are tested…

I was delighted when Simba allowed us to review a mattress. We were even more thrilled when we found out they’d take away old faithful for us, one less trip to the dump – win! It arrived as planned, within our 2 hour time slot. In fact the driver said he had been early but hadn’t got hold of us, so they came back within the slot. Fab!

Beautiful packaging

I couldn’t believe the size of the box that was meant to hold our kingsize mattress. Tiny!

If you are here because you too want a better night sleep I thought I would not only give you my honest review but a little bit of what Simba has to say about the Hybrid mattress to help give you a more rounded review.

SIMBA’s design experts have created this cutting edge mattress, that houses five luxurious layers to provide support and comfort for every style of sleeper. Featuring 2500 pocket springs in the King Size model, Each spring adjusts individually, mapping to the shape of your posture as you sleep to offer truly tailored comfort.

The SIMBA Hybrid – according to this Simba sleep review – has a hypoallergenic ‘breathe in, breathe out’ cover. Its unique construction allows the mattress fillings to breath and provide you with a cool and comfortable sleep surface. This enhanced breathability promotes thermo regulation helping your body find the perfect temperature for an undisturbed night’s sleep. The third layer is made up of SIMBA’s Visco memory foam, which moulds expertly to your shape as the warmth from your body softens it. It contours to your individual sleeping pose to give you the best comfort and support.

Finally, a perfectly engineered grooved foam foundation is the basis of support on which you’ll sleep. Its seven individual zones ensure different levels of support are provided, and your individual needs are met. Working with the other foam layers and pocket springs, this base filling can provide really responsive support.

Conclusion

Immediately I started Googling for “mattress” and discovered the Simba mattress. Full of amazing reviews, 5*s and best of all its not just memory foam like so many are these days, it has springs too.

I’m not sure about memory foam, maybe I’m old fashioned! The cool top to the memory foam sounded ideal, I hate being hot in bed!

Overall, wonderful! I hope this review has helped you, if you would like to ask me any more questions about the SIMBA mattress please feel free to leave a comment and I will be more than happy to help.

At the point when enormous J arrived it was relatively difficult to do those basic things as it required so much arranging and push to discover a sitter so we needed to consider something different we delighted in that we could simply get and do in our extra time. Child rearing is an all day work however you do need to press a smidgen of ‘personal’ time in there as well.

Winning Things Money Can’t Buy

I was first acquainted with Loquax when I was 18. In the event that you don’t definitely know Loquax is an opposition site. I was a little overpowered when I initially began comping as I had no clue exactly what number of rivalries where out there. At the time I entered a couple of all over yet just took it genuine when little J was a child. I would enter a large number of rivalries every week, it is an extremely addictive leisure activity particularly when you are winning.

The principal rivalry I won was to see Steps in Concert. I was just 18 at the time and I cherished Steps so it was a blessing from heaven. When I won my second rivalry I imagine that was the moment that I thought ‘amazing, this is an incredible side interest’

I had won the opportunity to go to the BBC to watch the Lottery draw. Westlife who were going to discharge their second single were performing on the show and the prize incorporated a backstage gathering and meet and welcome with the band.

You can’t trust how energized my companion and I was as we prepared to meet the band. The distance to Manchester we chuckled at the prospect of meeting somebody popular. To be straightforward they were extremely decent fellows, sensible and we had an awesome night.

I think when you win a ‘cash can’t purchase’ prize like that you wind up snared in a split second and it turns into a fixation to enter and ideally to win.

For me I wasn’t simply winning the odd DVD or book I was winning enormous prizes, costly prizes and not a little while ago and again I was winning very nearly a prize multi day.

We have gotten such a large number of astonishing prizes throughout the years it is difficult to show them everything except for evident reasons my definitive most loved prize was an all costs outing to Disneyland Paris including a private gathering. This was only a blessing from heaven and we had an astounding time. On the Saturday night the recreation center shut and we were welcome to remain longer to appreciate the rides to ourselves, go to a private gathering with firecrackers. It was unquestionably a ‘cash can’t purchase’ encounter so you can envision that we were so excited to win again the next year.

We have additionally won ends of the week away, TV’s, an occasion to ibiza, vouchers, various kinds.

It’s an interest that is so natural to do yet it is extremely tedious and since having my blog I have entered less and less. I truly need to get back in to my side interest as you just never comprehend what will turn up at the entryway.

We’ve been trying out some fun family games from Megableu, and can offer one lucky reader the chance to win the bundle of games for their family too!

You might remember back at Halloween we reviewed a couple of spooky themed games from Megableu, Creepy Hand and Ghost Hunter Evolution. Now, we introduced the kids to some more games which are great fun for family time at any time of year.

The games are: Trickin’ Camel, Alien Mission, and CobrAttack. What I really like about all of the games is that they’re quite active and lively, and have a different feel to typical board games. All of them can be played with only 1 player, or with multiple players which makes them quite versatile too.

I’ll tell you a bit about each one, and then you can watch our video to see them all in action. Don’t forget to enter to win your own bundle of games at the end of the post.  You can buy Trickin’ Camel from Argos here , make sure to use a discount code though. I found one giving £5 off £50+ spends, so you will need to spend a bit more to be eligible.

However… I ALWAYS feel really uncomfortable in what I wear.

My stomach is quite pronounced as I am constantly bloated and I have a lack of support in the breast department.
I just feel really awkward and hate going swimming. It makes me really anxious.

Then I was sent a Miraclesuit swimming costume. Yes I had my reservations about it because of the many I own currently, feeling super uncomfortable and awkward.

First trying this on, it was super tight and I have quite big thighs so did struggle pulling it up my thighs, however once I had it properly on, the change was so apparent.

My stomach looked suitably flatter, the ruched part across the stomach did give the appearance of a flatter stomach and as it was tight it sucked my awful parts in.
My hips looked a lot smaller and more in tune to the rest of my body.

I also had a lot of support for the breast department and this particular one has cups that support and stop any awkward flashing.

There is also a band across my ribs for more added support
