The Vispring Bedstead Supreme Firm's calico pocket springs are hand-nested, which means each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and can respond to your body independently. At 27cm deep with hand tufting and two rows of hand side-stitching, this is old-school craftsmanship, and it comes with a 30-year guarantee. It's a serious investment, but you're paying for materials and construction that mass-produced mattresses simply don't offer. Vispring lists it with a choice of spring tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose this if you want natural materials and traditional build quality rather than foams and gimmicks. The fillings are wool, cotton and horsehair, which means the mattress breathes well and manages heat and moisture better than synthetic layers, good news if you sleep warm. Horsehair in particular springs back rather than compressing over time, which supports that 30-year guarantee. The hand side-stitched borders keep the edges supportive, so you can sleep right up to the side without feeling like you'll roll off. Vispring offers Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm tensions, so heavier sleepers or committed back sleepers wanting a firmer feel are well served. It suits a bedstead, as the name suggests, rather than needing a divan base.
Key features & layer details
Spring layer
Hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1476 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each sewn into its own calico pocket. This means the springs move independently, so you feel support where you need it and less disturbance from a partner shifting about.
Upholstery
Exclusively natural fillings: a British fleece wool spring protector pad, bonded British fleece wool and cotton, horsehair, and blended British fleece wool and cotton. Wool and horsehair breathe and wick moisture, which means a cooler, drier sleep than most foam-heavy mattresses can manage.
Ticking and finishing
Finest quality ticking, hand tufted with felt washers. Tufting holds the fillings firmly in place, so the mattress keeps its shape rather than shifting and lumping over the years.
Borders
Borders upholstered with protective wool, finished with two rows of hand side-stitching, horizontal handles and air vents. The side-stitching links the border to the springs, giving you firm edge support, while the vents let air move through the natural fillings.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Wool, cotton and horsehair fillings breathe and wick moisture, which means a cooler, drier night than most foam-heavy mattresses can manage.
Couples
Each hand-nested pocket spring moves independently, so you feel less disturbance when a partner shifts about, and the side-stitched edges let you both use the full width.
Heavier sleepers
Vispring offers Firm and Extra Firm tensions, and the horsehair springs back rather than compressing, so the mattress should keep its support under more weight.
Back sleepers
A firm feel from the pocket springs suits those who want a flatter, more supportive surface, and Vispring offers firmer tensions for committed back sleepers.
Eco-conscious buyers
The upholstery is exclusively natural fillings, including British fleece wool, cotton and horsehair, rather than the foams and synthetic layers found in many mattresses.
This isn't for you if memory foam's slow, cradling sink is what you're after: a traditional pocket spring feel is more buoyant and responsive. Budget matters too, as it's a considerable outlay. And if you can't try tensions in person, choosing between Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm sight unseen is a gamble.

FAQ's
How firm is the Vispring Bedstead Supreme mattress?
Vispring offers it in a choice of spring tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. Retailer listings anchor this model as Firm, but the brand's own page doesn't confirm a default tension, so check with your retailer which tension you're ordering before you buy.
How many springs does the Vispring Bedstead Supreme have?
It has 1476 hand-nested calico pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm (5ft x 6ft 6in) size. Spring counts vary with mattress size, so smaller or larger sizes will differ.
What is the Vispring Bedstead Supreme made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool, cotton and horsehair over calico pocket springs, with felt washers used in the hand tufting. There's no synthetic foam, which means better breathability and temperature control than most modern hybrid mattresses.
How long is the guarantee on the Vispring Bedstead Supreme?
Vispring backs it with a 30-year guarantee, which is considerably longer than most brands offer and reflects the durability of the horsehair and wool fillings.
