One of the latest trends at the moment is the mattress which literally comes in a box. I know… it is hard to believe right?! SIMBA is one of the brands who decided to launch their product here in South Africa exclusively on Takealot.com.

Many South Africans are nervous about this invention. I don’t blame them. It’s something NEW in the market and might take a while to get used to. Consumers doubt the comfort and quality of the mattress – while in countries like the USA, this product literally flew off shelves because of the convenience factor it brings.

Is it because we as South Africans are still traditional about how we shop?

I’m going, to be honest with you.

For me, buying a mattress has always been a big decision. I used to invest time in researching brands, I visited stores to check out how comfortable the mattress is before I made that final decision.

But all that changed in the last year when time became an issue. I bought my daughter a bunk bed and I ended up purchasing her mattresses online – something I’ve never done before and was so against, but it ended up working out. With trusted reviews from friends and family, I made the right decision.

Let’s get straight to the point, there’s no such thing as the perfect mattress for everyone – even though many brands will promise you that they do have one.

Why? Buying a mattress is very similar to buying a car, everyone’s taste is different. What you find comfortable, I might hate and vice versa.

You might find a mattress that works extremely well for a small group of people and does okay for the majority. The reason for this is because everyone has different sleeping positions and then there’s the whole firm vs soft and the in-between medium-firm mattresses saga.

Let’s talk about the SIMBA mattress:

Each SIMBA mattress is designed in the UK and manufactured in Europe and has undergone years of testing before it was approved ready for market by the team. This was done with data from The Sleep to Live Institute, an institution whose research is based on profiling more than 10 million people and 180 million body profile data points.

When I first heard about SIMBA, I googled the brand immediately and was surprised with the amount of high ratings that the brand boasted on many websites.

I thought to myself: “This is a freaking good mattress or the brand has somehow managed to convince “that small group of people” to rate them on every website that sells the product.”

First Impressions:

When I received my order from Takealot.com, I felt a bit like a kid who received her first present from Santa Clause on Christmas morning.

I was extremely excited and sat on my couch staring at the small box (which most probably could also fit a baby’s pram) eagerly waiting to open it.

The first night on the mattress, I found myself twisting and turning a bit while my son seemed to have slept very comfortably, he didn’t wake up as much as he normally does.

The second night, my body seemed to have adjusted to the mattress and I slept really well. It was a luxurious sleep – something that I definitely needed after a stressful day at work.

The mattress that I previously slept on was worth over 20k and the quality between SIMBA and that brand hadn’t made much of a difference in my sleep on Day 2.

The Unboxing:

Remember the whole Hatchimals hype? Kids were fascinated at the hatching of the egg more than the product itself. It’s kind of similar with the bed in the box, everyone wants to see what happens when you take it out of the box.

SIMBA didn’t disappoint but it also blew me away at how fast the inflating process happened. My eyes lit up as I saw this bed inflating on its own in seconds!

Why SIMBA?

Simba comes in King, Queen, Double and Single size mattresses. However, the best is the KING size based on the quality it offers.

The King size has a unique combination of (up to) 2,500 conical pocket springs conical pocket springs and responsive memory foam which allows you to sleep better, whatever your sleeping pattern and position is.

Even though the KING is the best in the range, the other mattresses do not disappoint. I own a queen size and I still feel like I am sleeping on 7th heaven as the team puts it.

The Simba Sleep has achieved the design team’s five Ss (Sleep Surface, Simbatex comfort layer, Spring powered, shaped for you and Seventh Heaven zoned support) to ensure your ultimate sleep comfort.

The Five Layers of comfort:

Sleep Surface

Simba’s unique hypoallergenic air-flow sleep surface allows your mattress to breath, providing freshness and temperature control. The enhanced breathability of the material provides you with a cool and comfortable sleep surface and helps your body find the perfect temperature for an undisturbed night’s sleep.

Comfort Memory Foam:

A thick, super comfortable layer of memory foam gives the perfect level of gentle support, contouring to your body and easing movement in the night.

Spring-Powered:

The SIMBA mattress features mini pocket springs that individually adjust as you sleep, so you wake up with a spring in your step for the whole day. Up to 1,900 (depending on size), conical springs with additional foam side panels create the perfect layer of support and comfort.

Shaped for You:

A supportive foam layer works in unison with other layers and ensures your weight is distributed perfectly across the mattress.

Seventh Heaven:

The perfectly engineered support base has 7 different zones to ensure a perfect night’s sleep for all.

The popular question many readers have been asking me is… Can it go back in the box?

No, it can’t because it isn’t a blow-up mattress that you take out when visitors arrive or when you go camping. It is an actual mattress that is meant to be used every night.

SIMBA Mattress is unique because…
It combines a highly engineered support base, along with their unique combination of conical pocket springs and memory foam, allowing two people with different sleeping patterns and body types to enjoy the perfect night’s sleep – without being interrupted by each other.

Mattress Technology:

The Simba Fusion mattress is 25cm deep, combining new generation foams and patented conical pocket springs. At Simba, they take great care to ensure the lowest environmental impact possible from production to delivery.

Warranty:

Every Simba mattress comes with a 5-year guarantee. If your mattress fails during the 5-year warranty period, they exchange it for a brand new one. It’s that simple!

Takealot.com offers you Free Delivery and a hassle-free exchange & return policy for 30 Days.

SIMBA offers you luxury in a box which is designed for your comfort level and convenience. I’m not going to say it is the best bed out there because as I said above, everyone has their own type of comfort, but we tried it with 4 different people at home and it works. So, it is the product that the majority would love. Many who have had backache problems swear by this product in reviews I’ve read.

The only con is it might be expensive (for a bed in a box – but definitely worth an investment) for many but if you are willing to save and invest in a good mattress, I suggest SIMBA be on the top of your list.

  24. Challenges in Copper scrap recycling Copper is a naturally occurring metal found in the environment and is an essential nutrient for humans and other living organisms. In small amounts, copper is required for healthy growth and development, as it plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, connective tissue, and the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems. However, exposure to high levels of copper can be harmful to human health. Copper can enter the environment through natural processes such as rock weathering, volcanic activity, and erosion. Human activities such as mining, manufacturing, and agricultural practices also release copper into the environment. Copper can bioaccumulate in the food chain, which means that organisms at higher trophic levels can accumulate and store copper in their bodies over time. This can pose a health risk to humans who consume these organisms. Acute exposure to high levels of copper can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, while long-term exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage, anemia, and neurological problems. Occupational exposure to copper has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, particularly lung and liver cancer. Children are also more vulnerable to the harmful effects of copper due to their smaller body weight and developing organs. To minimize the health risks associated with copper exposure, governmental organizations have established regulations and guidelines for copper exposure levels in water, soil, and food. It is important for individuals to be aware of potential sources of copper exposure and take necessary precautions, such as using personal protective equipment and following proper safety guidelines in occupations where copper exposure is common. Additionally, individuals can reduce their exposure to copper by choosing low-copper foods, using copper-free cookware, and ensuring that their drinking water does not contain elevated levels of the metal Scrap metal treatment Copper scrap sourcing Copper scrap negotiations Copper scrap advertising Copper sheet scrap purchasing Scrap metal sustainability

  25. Copper scrap resource recovery Copper electrical connectors are widely used in a variety of electrical applications because of their excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, not all copper connectors are created equally. Some are more suitable for specific applications than others. Here are some best practices to consider when working with copper electrical connectors: 1. Select the Right Connector: Choose the right connector for the specific application. Connectors come in various shapes and sizes, so select the one that matches the wire gauge. Failure to do so could result in overheating, melting, or arc faults. 2. Prepare the Copper Wire and the Connector: Properly prepare the copper wire and the connector before installation. Remove any oxidation, dirt, or debris that could hinder the connection. Clean, smooth surfaces lead to proper conductivity. 3. Crimping and Compression: When crimping or compressing connectors onto wires, use the appropriate tools. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended compression parameters and procedures to ensure proper wire insertion, and prevent wire deformation or damage. Improper compression could lead to electrical resistance and compromise the electrical connection. 4. Avoid Chemical Exposure: Avoid exposing the copper connectors to chemicals such as cleaning agents, lubricants, or de-greasers without knowing their compatibility. Some chemicals could corrode or eat away at the connector and compromise conductivity. 5. Avoid Overheating: Overheating copper connectors could lead to deformation and damage. Be sure to maintain proper current rating and avoid overloading the connectors. Make sure the connectors are appropriately rated for the application in which they are being used. 6. Regular Maintenance: Ensure regular maintenance of the copper connectors and associated equipment. Inspect and evaluate the connectors and related equipment for signs of wear or damage that could compromise the electrical connection. Repair or replace equipment when necessary. 7. Follow the Manufacturer’s Guidelines: Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines in installation, maintenance, and repair. These guidelines are designed to maximize the service life of the connector while ensuring consistent conductivity and minimal frequency of failures. These are some of the best practices that should be followed when working with copper electrical connectors. Following these practices will help ensure that the connections remain consistent and reliable while minimizing the risk of failure Metal reclamation and reprocessing Copper scrap demand forecasting Copper scrap transport Copper scrap collection Copper shredding technology Scrap metal material testing
