Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose the Elite if you want traditional craftsmanship and natural materials rather than foam. The surface blends British fleece wool and cotton, which means it breathes well and helps regulate temperature, a genuine advantage if you sleep hot. Beneath that, bonded wool gives a consistent feel through the night, and in the King size 1,254 vanadium steel pocket springs sit hand-nested in a single layer for balanced support. Yes, the £1,559 to £2,229 price range is a serious outlay, but you are paying for hand-nested calico springs and wool fillings, materials that tend to age more gracefully than synthetic alternatives. It is a considered purchase rather than an impulse one.
Key Features & what's inside
- Surface upholstery. Blended British fleece wool and cotton sit directly beneath the ticking, which means a naturally soft, breathable sleeping surface. Wool also helps manage moisture and temperature through the night.
- Comfort layer. A layer of bonded wool provides consistent comfort throughout the night. Bonding the wool helps the filling keep its shape rather than settling unevenly.
- Spring system. A hand-nested calico pocket spring unit with 1,254 vanadium steel springs in a single layer, a count specified for the King size. Each spring works independently, which means balanced support and less disturbance when a partner moves.

Who's it NOT for?
If you want a plush, sink-in feel, the medium-firm build may feel too solid, particularly for lightweight side sleepers. It is also a poor fit for tight budgets, and there is no UK Single size listed. Buyers who prefer memory foam contouring should look at hybrid or all-foam designs instead.

How firm is the Vispring Elite mattress?
Vispring describes the Elite as having a medium-firm feel. That tends to suit back and combination sleepers well, although lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly firm at the hips and shoulders.
How many springs does the Vispring Elite have?
The Elite uses 1,254 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in a single layer, though this count is specified for the 150 x 200cm King size only. Spring counts usually scale with mattress size, so other sizes will differ.
How deep is the Vispring Elite mattress?
The mattress is 21cm deep, plus around 6cm of doming, give or take 2cm. That is shallower than many modern hybrids, so standard fitted sheets should fit without trouble.
What is the Vispring Elite made of?
It combines British fleece wool and cotton on the surface, bonded wool beneath, and vanadium steel pocket springs, finished with high-quality ticking, felt washers and protective wool borders. There is no foam, which means better breathability for hot sleepers.
What sizes does the Vispring Elite come in?
It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King, priced from £1,559.00 up to £2,229 depending on size, and stocked by two retailers.
