The Vispring Elite Soft uses vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets, which means each spring responds to your body independently rather than as one stiff unit. The fillings are coir, platinum certified British fleece wool and cotton, layered around the springs. At 21cm deep, plus 6cm of doming according to the Furniture Village listing, it sits shallower than some modern hybrids, although with natural fillings depth alone tells you little about comfort. This listing covers the Soft version, so it suits those who like a gentler, more cushioned feel. If you're a heavier sleeper or prefer a firmer surface, you should look at the other comfort levels.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a natural-fill mattress in the traditional sense: no foam, just coir, British fleece wool and cotton over pocket springs. Wool helps regulate temperature, which means hot sleepers tend to fare better than they would on synthetic layers. The soft tension gives a sink-in, cradling feel that suits lighter bodies and side sleepers who need pressure relief at the shoulder and hip. Yes, the price is high, but the materials and construction are a genuine step up from mass-market mattresses, and Furniture Village backs its listing with a 20-year guarantee. The Elite comes in four comfort levels, Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm, so if this tension sounds too gentle for you, the same build is available firmer.
Key features & layer details
Coir
A coir layer forms part of the filling composition. Coir is a natural fibre that adds resilience beneath the softer fillings.
Platinum certified British fleece wool
Certified British fleece wool is layered around the springs. Wool is naturally breathable, which means it helps keep the sleeping surface at a steadier temperature.
Cotton
Cotton is layered around the springs alongside the wool. It adds a soft, breathable quality to the comfort layers.
Vanadium pocket springs
Vanadium steel, six-turn pocket springs sit in calico pockets, with 1254 springs in the king size. Each spring moves independently, which means support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a partner.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The soft tension gives a sink-in, cradling feel, which means the shoulder and hip can settle into the surface for pressure relief.
Lighter sleepers
Lighter bodies suit the soft tension, since the independent pocket springs and cushioned fillings give way gently under less weight.
Warm sleepers
Breathable British fleece wool and cotton sit around the springs, which helps keep the sleeping surface at a steadier temperature through the night.
Couples
Each vanadium steel spring sits in its own calico pocket and moves independently, which means less disturbance when your partner shifts position.
Eco-conscious buyers
The filling is all natural, with coir, certified British fleece wool and cotton over pocket springs and no foam anywhere in the build.
This is the Soft tension, so heavier sleepers and committed back or front sleepers may find it lacks the pushback they need; the Medium or Firm versions would suit them better. It's also a serious outlay, and there's no small or single size listed, only Double, King and Super King.
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.
