Vispring Devonshire Mattress

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

Choose the Devonshire if you want natural materials throughout and a say in how your mattress feels. The wool fillings breathe far better than synthetic foams, which means less heat build-up if you tend to sleep warm. Hand-nested calico pocket springs respond independently to each part of your body, so you get support where you're heavier and softness where you're not. Hand-tufting with felt washers keeps those fillings anchored, so the structure holds its shape over years rather than months. The four tension options let couples or particular sleepers get the feel right from the start. Yes, the price is steep, but you're paying for hand-built quality and materials with a genuinely long working life.

Warm sleepers
Natural wool fillings breathe far better than synthetic foams, which means less heat build-up through the night if you tend to sleep hot.

Couples
Four tension options and independently moving pocket springs let partners get the feel right from the start, without tipping towards each other.

Eco-conscious buyers
The upholstery is made exclusively from natural fillings, including British fleece wool and hand-teased Devonshire fleece wool, with no synthetic foam layers.

Combination sleepers
Each of the 1,326 pocket springs moves on its own, so support follows your body as you change position through the night.

If your budget is tight, this is comfortably out of reach and plenty of good mattresses cost less. If you prefer memory foam, this might not be the best choice either: it's a traditional sprung feel with no contouring foam layers. And if you can't try tensions in person, choosing between four options unseen may feel like a gamble.

How firm is the Vispring Devonshire mattress?

It doesn't come in one fixed firmness. Vispring offers it in four tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm, so you pick the feel that suits your weight and sleeping position. Brand positioning suggests a softer overall character, so lighter sleepers and side sleepers are likely to get on well with it.

What is the Vispring Devonshire made of?

The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool, hand-teased Devonshire fleece wool and British fleece needled wool, with protective wool borders. Underneath sits a hand-nested calico pocket spring unit using vanadium steel springs, and the whole mattress is hand-tufted with felt washers to keep everything in place.

How many springs does the Vispring Devonshire have?

It has 1,326 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in a single layer, based on the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring is sewn into its own calico pocket, which means the springs respond individually to pressure rather than moving as one unit.

How deep is the Vispring Devonshire mattress?

The overall height is stated as 21cm, plus 6cm of doming (give or take 2cm). Doming is the gentle rise in the sleeping surface created by the generous natural fillings, so the mattress sits a little taller in the middle than the border measurement suggests.

How much does the Vispring Devonshire cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It's available in UK Single, Double, King and Super King. It's a significant outlay, though it reflects handmade construction and all-natural fillings rather than a marketing premium.
