The Vispring Baronet Superb Soft's springs are made from vanadium steel with six turns, housed in calico pockets, which means each spring can move independently and follow the shape of your body rather than pushing back as one unit. At 21cm deep it is slimmer than many modern mattresses, though that reflects the density of the natural fillings rather than a lack of substance. It's a serious outlay, but it buys handmade construction and materials that synthetic foams cannot match for breathability.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress suits sleepers who want a soft, natural feel without any foam or synthetic fibres. Horsehair is a traditional filling for a reason: it wicks moisture and springs back night after night, which means the surface stays fresher and cooler than memory foam. If you're a hot sleeper, the wool and cotton blend helps regulate temperature in both directions. The Furniture Village listing states a 20 Year Structural Guarantee, longer than most brands offer, which goes some way to justifying the price. The Soft tension makes sense for lighter people and side sleepers who need the surface to give at the shoulder and hip.
Key features & layer details
Cover
A fine quality ticking covers the mattress. This is the woven outer fabric you'll actually lie on.
Fillings
Horsehair sits alongside bonded and blended British fleece wool and cotton. These natural fibres breathe and manage moisture well, which means less overheating than you'd get from foam.
Springs
The king size contains 1,326 vanadium steel pocket springs, each with six turns and held in a calico pocket. More turns per spring gives a softer, more progressive response, so the mattress cushions rather than resists.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The soft tension and six-turn pocket springs let the surface give at the shoulder and hip, so your body is cushioned where it presses in.
Lighter sleepers
Soft tension suits lighter bodies, and the independently moving pocket springs follow your shape rather than pushing back as one unit.
Warm sleepers
A blend of horsehair, wool and cotton wicks moisture and helps regulate temperature in both directions, so it should feel cooler than memory foam.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings of horsehair, British fleece wool and cotton mean there is no foam or synthetic fibre in the build, only traditional materials.
Skip this one if you weigh more than average or sleep mainly on your front or back, as the Soft tension may let your hips sink too far. It's also a slim 21cm, so anyone wanting a deep, plush-looking mattress may be disappointed. And given the starting price, budget shoppers should look elsewhere.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.
