Permanently exhausted and not sleeping well? The culprit could be your old, lumpy mattress.
Make no mistake about it, a good night’s sleep is important. That’s why, savvy shoppers, you’ll be pleased to hear about big savings happening at Amazon for its October Prime Big Deal Days, especially on the cult-status Simba Hybrid Pro mattress.
Normally priced at a premium, during this Prime Big Deal Days event you can snap up a Simba Hybrid Pro mattress for a fraction of the price.
The Simba Hybrid Pro mattress is designed to provide an exceptional sleeping experience with its innovative features. At the top, a breathable, pure wool layer ensures a fresher sleep by naturally regulating temperature and wicking away moisture. This helps keep you comfortable throughout the night, regardless of the season.
Top rated with hundreds of 5* reviews, this mattress should come with a warning – you’ll never want to get out of bed.
Beneath the wool layer, the mattress boasts a double layer of 2,000 zoned, titanium alloy Aerocoil springs. These springs are strategically placed to adapt to your body’s contours, offering superior spinal alignment and pressure relief. This extra spring layer ensures that your body is well-supported, reducing the chances of waking up with aches and pains.
For those who tend to sleep hot, the open-cell Simbatex foam is a game-changer. This foam promotes optimal airflow and efficiently dissipates heat, helping you stay cool and comfortable all night long.
The mattress also features 100% edge-to-edge support, thanks to the SupportCore base. This base prevents roll-off at the sides and enhances the overall durability of the mattress, ensuring consistent support across the entire surface.
Additionally, the Simba Hybrid Pro comes with a soft, knitted top cover that is both comfortable and practical. The cover zips off easily, making it simple to wash or replace, so your mattress stays fresh and clean.
Better yet? Proudly made in the UK, the Simba Hybrid Pro mattress supports local manufacturing and helps reduce transport emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.
This mattress is not only designed for comfort but also with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Plus there are also plenty of sizing options are available to suit your bed frame and it’s incredibly comfortable whether you’re a side, back or front sleeper.
We’re not the only ones raving about the mattress as one reviewer said their ‘Back pain had disappeared!’ With another saying ‘It’s a dream to sleep on.’
A third reviewer even claimed ‘At last I found the mattress I have been after for a long time! I can’t believe my luck! I slept like a baby and the next morning I felt well and incredibly less back/neck pain than usual!’
Intrigued? Don’t sleep on this deal. Head to Amazon sharpish and snap up a Simba Hybrid Pro mattress before time runs out – at 11:59pm this October 8.

Burn calories while you watch TV with this walking pad that’s now almost 50% off

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more
Winter workouts can feel like a real chore, with the shorter days making summer evening walks a distant memory, and the frosty dark mornings tempting us to snooze through our gym alarm and stay in bed.
That’s why a walking pad can provide the ideal solution. It’s a lightweight piece of equipment that slips right under the sofa, and it’s the perfect way to burn calories while standing at our home desk or binge-watching episodes of Gilmore Girls in the evening. No need to brave the cold or eerie darkness to get our steps in.

Superun Walking Pad
Superun has transformed the walking pad experience with three years of R&D, introducing advanced chips, app integration, and compatibility with high-tech wearable devices.
The under-desk treadmill features a quiet 2.5HP motor, a shock-absorbing five-layer belt, and supports up to 136–159 kg, making it ideal for home use at any time of day.
Users can enjoy immersive fitness experiences through the app, including AI-guided training, multiplayer competitions, and a vibrant online running community. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, Superun offers a fun and motivating way to stay active.
And this highly-rated design from Superun is nearly 50% off, so it’s a total steal for your winter workout routine.
At just £99, this walking pad is much cheaper than similar models and has plenty of five-star reviews.
It boasts an impressive amount of power, with Advanced 2.5HP Motor Technology. It also has a weight capacity of 134 kg, and it’s designed with five non-slip layers and shock absorbers to reduce noise and impact on your knees, ankles, and muscles.
You can adjust the speed between 1 and 6 km/h, and use the remote control for ease. Plus, if you sync to the Superrun app, you can chart your fitness progress, noting your PBs and calories burned. You can also pair with wearable high tech devices for a more immersive experience, whether it’s gaming scenes or multi-player running tasks.
‘As someone who works out every other day and loves staying active, the Superun Walking Pad has been a game changer,’ Danny said in his review. He also praised Superrun’s app, adding: ‘I love the multiplayer running races and AI coaching, it makes indoor exercise more fun and motivating. Plus, it syncs with wearable devices and tracks all my progress accurately.’
‘Picked this up to stop myself slowly fusing with my office chair, and it’s been brilliant,’ Gabriella said. ‘The Superun walking pad slides neatly under the desk, and the 2.5HP motor handles a good steady walk without sounding like a jet engine. The app makes it a bit more fun too – tracking progress and even letting you race other people, which is surprisingly motivating when you’re usually just racing against the biscuit tin. Sturdy, quiet and folds away without hassle.’
‘I was a little hesitant at first, wondering how useful such a small device would be,’ Sara said in her feedback. ‘But I was wrong! The motor runs really smoothly and quietly, and I can walk even early in the morning without disturbing anyone. The speed adjustment of 1-6 km/h makes it comfortable to use even while doing housework or watching TV shows.’
