When I first flew the nest and set up my own pad in London, I was all about bagging the cheapest bedding for my flat, thinking it wasn't worth splashing out. But as I've entered my 30s, those pesky neck aches and back pains have started to creep in — oh, the joys of ageing.

After endless months of waking up feeling like I'd slept on a rock, I finally decided to invest in some decent sleep gear. A mate recommended the Simba Hybrid Pillow, and, despite the hefty £109 price tag, I bit the bullet — although you can currently nab it for £87.20 in Simba's Black Friday Sale, reports the Mirror.

Even though it made a sizeable dent in my bank balance, it's worth every penny. Over the past year, this pillow has been a game changer, providing incredible support that's seriously helped soothe my aches and pains. But what makes it so special? Scroll down for the full lowdown.

This Hybrid Pillow is a cut above the rest, thanks to its unique design. It's packed with foam cubes (dubbed Nanocubes by Simba) that you can add or remove to tailor its height and firmness to your preference. This means it provides perfect alignment for your neck and spine, whether you're a back, side, or front sleeper.
