Official Test Results: How Do Engineers Rate These Mattresses?
As with all mattress reviews and comparisons on Mattress-Reviews.com, GoodMorning.com Inc. tests major online mattress brands to continually update and improve its own products. Analyzing the builds, brands, and specifications of competitor mattresses ensures GoodMorning.com always offers the best possible value to its customers.
To provide a consistent benchmark for our tests, we commission third-party engineers to test every mattress in the exact same way. You can view the methodology of testing and the APEGA-stamped results document here.

Feel & Firmness
Every sleeper experiences mattress firmness differently. Your sleep style, body type, and comfort preferences will determine which mattress is best for you.
The Logan & Cove and Simba are available in a single firmness.
- The Simba 2500 is rated 3.2 / 10, making it a medium-soft mattress. The memory foam top layer has a significant amount of ‘hug,’ which will appeal to anyone looking for a soft, enveloping mattress that they can sink into. However, strict stomach or back sleepers may find that Simba is too soft to feel properly supported.
- At 5.8 / 10, the Logan & Cove is considered a medium-firm mattress. The Logan & Cove mattress provides nice pressure relief, especially at the shoulders and hips. Side sleepers should find that they get a good balance of support and cushioning on this mattress.

Edge Support
A bed with good edge support is important if you like to sit up on the edge of your bed when relaxing. It also makes getting out of bed easier.
- Logan & Cove Choice scored 7.0 / 10 for edge support. This is an above-average score for a hybrid mattress.
- Simba 2500 also has a higher edge support score of 8.0 / 10.

Motion Isolation
If you share your bed with a partner or pets, choosing a mattress with a high motion isolation score can significantly reduce sleep disturbances caused by movement. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), motion isolation scores for the Simba 2500 and both Logan & Cove models are above average. If you are a delicate sleeper or sensitive to your partner tossing and turning throughout the night, any of these mattresses should help minimize motion transfer.
- The Simba 2500 has above-average motion isolation. It is rated at 6.6 / 10 on the motion isolation scale.
- The Logan & Cove Medium Plush mattress has above-average motion isolation. It is rated at 7.0 / 10 on the motion isolation scale.

Bounce
Anyone wanting a springy sleep surface will enjoy the added bounce you get on a hybrid mattress. Mattresses with interior springs are known for having a bit more bounce, especially when compared to all-foam models. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the bounce ratings for the Simba and Logan & Cove mattresses vary slightly:
- The Simba 2500 mattress has average bounce, earning a 4.4 / 10 rating.
- The Logan & Cove Medium Plush mattress has below-average bounce, earning a 4.7 / 10 rating.

Simba 2500 and Logan & Cove are both hybrids. However, the overall composition of each mattress is rather different. Logan & Cove has a large, 9-inch coil base layer to provide additional support and stability. The 1-inch micro-coils in the Simba mattress are primarily used for contouring and comfort.
Hybrid mattresses are made up of different layers and materials to provide overall support and comfort. Simba and Logan & Cove are both 12″ tall and contain four layers. Both mattresses are also available in one firmness option. In Canada, Simba offers two other mattress models through Sleep Country, the lower-priced Simba 1500 and the more expensive Simba 5000.
Mattress Layers

Logan & Cove
Simba 2500 Mattress Layers
The Simba 2500 contains four layers:
- First layer: 1 inch of graphite-infused memory foam. This layer provides comfort and contouring. Because memory foam tends to trap heat, Simba has added graphite flakes in the foam to help with temperature control. Foam density: Unspecified.
- Second layer: 1 inch of micro-coils. Simba’s coil layer helps with motion isolation. The hollow channels in the springs also aid in temperature regulation by improving airflow throughout the mattress.
- Third layer: 3.5 inches of high-density foam. This layer provides additional stability to the mattress and is reinforced at the perimeter. Foam density: Unspecified.
- Fourth layer: 6.5 inches of support foam. This bottom layer makes up the foundation of the mattress and keeps you from sinking in too deep. It also includes horizontal air channels that divide the mattress into seven zones, promoting spinal alignment and pressure-point relief. Foam density: Unspecified.
Of note: Simba does not publicly disclose foam density. When Mattress-Reviews.com contacted Simba customer support, they could not provide the foam density for any of their layers.
Logan & Cove Mattress Layers
The Logan & Cove mattress is made with 4 robust layers, to meet the needs of different comfort preferences:
- First layer: 0.5 inch of quilted top cover. The top cover is made with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibers, which provide a cool and supple feel. It also includes breathable hollow fibre fill and quilted gel-infused foam for added plushness.
- Second layer: 1 inch of cooling gel memory foam. This responsive material helps with cushioning and heat regulation around the sleeping surface. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft3.
- Third layer: 1.5 inches of Elastex® foam. This thicker foam layer serves as transitional support between the pocketed coils below and the cushioning layers above. It effortlessly contours to your body, providing exceptional comfort in any sleeping position. Foam density: 1.8 lbs/ft3.
- Fourth layer: 9-inch individually wrapped pocketed coils. The pocketed coils are made from multi-tempered steel and arranged in 5 zones to provide robust support and motion isolation across the entire sleep surface.
Mattress Cover
Simba 2500
Logan & Cove
Simba 2500 Mattress Cover
Simba’s top cover is made primarily of polyester and contains a small amount of elastane for stretch. Synthetic materials tend to be less breathable than natural or plant-derived fibres like Tencel® or cotton.
Simba does not list any eco-conscious fabrics in their outer layer construction. However, Simba promotes the antimicrobial benefits of its top cover. This feature may be important to some shoppers since the Simba mattress cover is not machine washable.
Logan & Cove Mattress Cover
Logan & Cove’s impressive quilting is full of intricate details, ones generally reserved for higher price segments. The design uses diamond tufting, accent stitching, and other elegant touches to make a mattress you can’t help but want to run your hands across.
To keep you cool and comfortable through the night, the white quilting is filled with breathable hollow fibre fill and gel-infused foam infused with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres. Altogether, this luxury styling is all but unheard of in the mattress-in-a-box category, especially at Logan & Cove’s price point.Company Overview

Simba
Simba is based in Europe and available worldwide. In Canada, Simba is sold through Sleep Country. Because of its exclusive contract with Sleep Country, Simba’s Canadian customer service is managed by the retail chain’s support team.
Though Simba’s parent brand has ties to the textile industry dating as far back as 1979, its tight-top mattress launched the company to prominence. The Simba mattress, as we know it today, launched in the UK in 2016. The European versions of the Simba mattress are made in both the UK and Poland. In 2020, however, the brand moved manufacturing for all its Canadian orders from China to Canada.
Logan & Cove
Logan & Cove is part of GoodMorning.com, Canada’s largest independent online mattress retailer. Since its release in 2018, Logan & Cove has become one of the top-selling boxed hybrid mattresses in Canada, even outpacing some brands that had helped define the segment. The combination of premium materials and luxury detailing is still seen as an attractive alternative to similar retail store models, which often sell for up to a few thousand dollars more.
All Logan & Cove mattresses are made in Canada.

Summary
Hybrid mattresses typically offer a great balance of support and comfort. Like other high-end mattress brands, Simba and Logan & Cove deliver on the promise of an enjoyable sleep experience. Both performed well during the third-party engineer tests for motion isolation and are a good choice for those who share the bed with a partner or pet.
However, despite its higher price point, Simba is missing some of the luxury features you get with Logan & Cove. Customers who choose to purchase a Logan & Cove over Simba will also enjoy the benefits of a cool-to-the-touch quilted-cover infused with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibers and 9-inch pocketed coils arranged in 5 zones to provide full-body support.
Because of Simba’s soft feel, it would be most suitable for lightweight individuals or anyone looking for an enveloping mattress with lots of ‘hug.’ Because of its high degree of sinkage, Simba may not provide enough support for back or stomach sleepers. On the other hand, Logan & Cove is available in medium-firm, so it should suit a wider range of sleepers.
Logan & Cove’s choice in firmness, additional comfort layers, longer sleep trial, free returns and more affordable price help make it Mattress-Reviews.com’s Top-Rated Hybrid Mattress.
Buy the Simba 2500 if you:
- Prefer a soft mattress with lots of ‘hug’
- Don’t like pillow-top mattresses
- Want a micro-coil hybrid mattress
- Want the option to try the mattress in-store
- Want an antimicrobial top cover
Buy Logan & Cove if you:
- Want a medium-firm mattress with nice cushioning
- Want a luxury mattress for under $1,500
- Need a lengthy sleep trial and warranty
- Want the option to return for a full refund
