Choose the Elite Firm if you want natural materials and a properly firm feel. The king size uses 1,254 vanadium steel, six turn pocket springs in calico pockets, which means each spring responds to your body individually rather than moving as one unit, so you get support without that rigid, board-like sensation cheaper firm mattresses can have. The fillings are coir, Platinum certified British fleece wool and cotton, which help with temperature regulation: wool in particular wicks moisture, so if you're a hot sleeper this construction works in your favour. Furniture Village, the retailer listing it, offers a 20-year guarantee, longer cover than most brands provide. Yes, the price is high, but the materials and construction go some way to justifying it.
Key Features & what's inside
- Coir. A layer of coir, a natural coconut fibre, forms part of the filling composition. It adds resilience and helps air move through the mattress.
- Platinum certified British fleece wool. British fleece wool, Platinum certified, is layered around the springs. Wool wicks moisture and regulates temperature, which means a drier, more comfortable sleeping surface through the night.
- Cotton. Cotton is layered around the springs alongside the wool. It is soft and breathable, softening the feel of the firm springs beneath.
- Vanadium pocket springs. The king size contains 1,254 vanadium steel, six turn pocket springs, each in its own calico pocket. Individual pockets mean the springs move independently, so you feel less of your partner's movement and get support shaped to your body.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a firm tension, so lightweight side sleepers may find it too unyielding on the shoulder and hip. It is only made in King and Super King, ruling it out for smaller beds. And, the price puts it beyond many budgets; excellent firm support exists for considerably less.

How firm is the Vispring Elite Firm mattress?
It is a Firm tension. Vispring makes the Elite in four comfort levels, Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm, and this listing covers the Firm version. It suits back and front sleepers who like solid support, although lighter side sleepers may find it a little too unforgiving.
What is inside the Vispring Elite Firm mattress?
Natural fillings throughout: coir, Platinum certified British fleece wool and cotton, layered around vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets. The king size contains 1,254 six turn springs. There is no foam, which means better breathability and a springier, more traditional feel.
Does the Vispring Elite Firm come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village, the retailer listing this mattress, offers a 20-year guarantee, which is longer than most brands provide. This is the retailer's own offer, so if you buy elsewhere, check the terms that seller provides before ordering.
How deep is the Vispring Elite Firm mattress?
The mattress is 21cm deep, plus 6cm of doming on top. That is shallower than many modern mattresses, but with traditionally made designs the depth matters less than the quality of the fillings. Standard fitted sheets should fit without trouble.
What sizes does the Vispring Elite Firm come in?
It is available in UK King and UK Super King only, priced from £1,949 to £2,299. If you need a Single or Double, you'll need to look at other models.
