Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
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 & what's inside
- 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.

Who's it NOT for?
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, with prices starting at £2,299.25 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.

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.
What sizes does the Vispring Bedstead Supreme come in?
It's available in UK Single, UK Double, UK King and UK Super King, with prices ranging from £2,299 to £4,701 depending on the size you choose.
