Assessed from Furniture Village's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This mattress makes a strong case if you want firm support without synthetic foams. The fillings are English cotton and Hampshire wool, which means the sleep surface stays naturally breathable, so hot sleepers should find it more forgiving than foam-heavy alternatives. The spring system uses 7 zones that mirror your body shape, giving firmer resistance where you carry more weight and a little more give elsewhere. A double steel-framed edge support reinforces the sides, so you can sleep right up to the edge without that rolling-off feeling. Add chemical-free, naturally fire-retardant materials and a 20-year guarantee, and it looks a sensible long-term buy for back and front sleepers who like a firm bed.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A Smooth-Tech™ fabric cover sits on top. It gives a smooth, even sleep surface against your sheets.
- Fillings. English cotton and Hampshire wool fillings, which means the mattress breathes naturally and wicks moisture away as you sleep. These natural materials are durable and sustainable too.
- Spring system. 1000 pocket springs in the king size, arranged in 7 zones that mirror your body shape. Each spring moves independently, so you feel targeted support rather than a flat, uniform push-back.
- Support system. A double steel-framed support system reinforces the edges of the mattress. That maximises the usable sleep area, useful if you share the bed or tend to drift towards the side.

Who's it NOT for?
If you're a lightweight side sleeper, a firm tension like this may feel a little unyielding on your shoulders and hips. It's also not for anyone who loves the sink-in, cradling feel of memory foam: this is a springier, more traditional surface. And if you need a mattress quickly, delivery can take up to 5 weeks.

How firm is the Village Inspire 1050 mattress?
The version covered here is the Firm tension. Furniture Village's page lists the range in medium or firm options, so check you've selected the right tension before ordering. Firm suits back and front sleepers best, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too solid.
How many springs does the Village Inspire 1050 have?
The king size contains 1000 pocket springs, arranged in 7 zones that mirror your body shape for targeted support. Spring counts in other sizes aren't stated, and are typically lower in smaller sizes simply because there's less surface area.
What is the guarantee on the Village Inspire 1050 Firm?
Furniture Village offers a 20-year guarantee on this mattress, which is longer than most brands offer. As with any guarantee, it covers manufacturing faults rather than normal wear, so keep your proof of purchase.
How much does delivery cost from Furniture Village?
Mattress delivery costs £39 with Furniture Village's Premium Delivery Service, which brings it to your room of choice. The wait is longer than some, with delivery within 5 weeks, so plan ahead if your current mattress is on its last legs.
Is the Village Inspire 1050 mattress hot to sleep on?
It should sleep cooler than foam-heavy mattresses. The fillings are English cotton and Hampshire wool, which are naturally breathable, and the pocket spring core allows air to circulate. If you're a hot sleeper, this construction is a sensible choice.
