Vispring Imperial Pocket Sprung Firm Mattress

Assessed from the product page published by Furniture Village, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

Choose this mattress if you sleep better on a firmer surface and want a traditional pocket sprung construction. Each spring in a pocket sprung mattress sits in its own fabric pocket, which means the bed responds to your body shape rather than pushing back as one solid unit. The Firm tension suits back and front sleepers, and heavier bodies, more readily than lighter side sleepers, who may find it a little unyielding at the shoulder and hip. It sits firmly in luxury territory, so it makes sense as a long-term purchase rather than a stopgap.

Back sleepers
The firm tension gives solid, even support across the whole surface, which suits back sleepers who prefer to stay level rather than sink in.

Front sleepers
A firmer feel helps keep the body from sinking too deeply, which means front sleepers get a flatter, more supported surface to lie on.

Heavier sleepers
Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and the firm tension resists compression, so heavier bodies should feel well held without sagging.

Couples
The Super King size gives two people plenty of width, and the individually pocketed springs respond to each body shape rather than moving as one unit.

Lightweight side sleepers may find the Firm tension too hard at the shoulder and hip. It's also listed only in UK Super King, so anyone needing a smaller size will need to look elsewhere. And it won't suit buyers working to a modest budget, however good the construction.

Generally, yes. Each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and moves independently, which means less motion transfers across the bed when one of you turns over. In a firm tension like this one, that isolation comes with a supportive, stable feel.
