Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a mattress for buyers who want natural materials and hand-nested springs rather than synthetic foams. The double layer of six-coil steel springs sits in calico pockets, which means each spring responds independently to your body rather than moving as one block. Above that, a pillow top with two micro spring layers adds softness at the surface while the fillings help resist sagging over time. The choice of soft, medium or firm tension, plus split tension on king and super king sizes, means you can tailor the feel to your weight and sleeping position. Furniture Village backs its listing with a 20-year guarantee, considerably longer than most brands offer.
Key features & layer details
Pillow top
The pillow top contains two micro spring layers and resilient fillings, which means a soft, cushioned surface feel when you first lie down. The fillings are designed to help reduce sagging, so that initial plushness should hold up over time.
Pocket springs
Beneath the pillow top sits a double layer of six-coil steel springs, hand nested in calico pockets. Each spring moves independently, which means less motion transfer from a restless partner and support that follows the shape of your body.

Best suited for?
Couples
Split tension is available in king and super king sizes, which means each partner can have their own feel, and independent springs limit motion from a restless sleeper.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural materials and hand-nested springs in calico pockets are used instead of synthetic foams, which suits anyone who wants a more traditional, natural build.
Side sleepers
The pillow top with two micro spring layers gives a soft, cushioned surface, while pocket springs beneath follow the shape of your body.
Combination sleepers
Each pocket spring moves independently, which means support follows your body as you change position, with a choice of soft, medium or firm tension.
At its starting price, this is out of reach for most budgets, and cheaper hybrids will suit anyone who simply wants comfortable, reliable support. It is heavy and deep at 38cm, so check your fitted sheets and bed base will cope. Buyers who prefer the contouring hug of memory foam 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.

FAQ's
How many springs does the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top have?
It has 2,812 springs, arranged as a double layer of six-coil steel pocket springs hand nested in calico pockets, plus two micro spring layers within the pillow top for extra surface softness.
What is the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top made of?
The fillings include real Shetland wool, Airstream Memory Wool, Cocolok, British wool and British cotton, all wrapped in a 100% viscose damask ticking. These natural materials help with breathability, which means a cooler night if you tend to sleep warm.
Is the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top firm or medium?
It is available in soft, medium and firm tensions, and split tension is available in king and super king sizes so each side of the bed can differ. The Furniture Village King Size listing shows the medium tension selected, so check which tension you are ordering.
Does the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village offers a 20-year guarantee on its listing of this mattress. That guarantee is the retailer's own offer, so terms may differ if you buy elsewhere.
How deep is the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top mattress?
It is 38cm deep, which is noticeably deeper than a standard mattress. You will likely need extra-deep fitted sheets, and it is worth checking the combined height with your bed base before ordering.
