Vispring Imperial Pocket Sprung Mattress

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

Choose the Imperial if you want natural materials all the way through. The fillings are British fleece wool, horsehair, bamboo and cotton, which breathe and wick moisture, so hot sleepers should notice a cooler night than on memory foam. The vanadium steel springs (1720 in the 5-foot size, each with 6 coils) sit in hand-nested calico pockets, giving precise, localised support with little motion transfer to a partner. Wool-upholstered borders with air vents and handles help the mattress breathe and make turning it manageable. With three tensions available, you can match the feel to your build and sleeping position rather than settling for one-firmness-fits-all.

Warm sleepers
Breathable British fleece wool, horsehair, bamboo and cotton fillings wick moisture and let air move through, so you should sleep cooler than on memory foam.

Couples
Each vanadium steel spring sits in its own hand-nested calico pocket, so there is little motion transfer and one person turning over is less likely to wake the other.

Eco-conscious buyers
Natural materials run all the way through, from the wool, horsehair, bamboo and cotton fillings to the wool-upholstered borders, with no foam layers.

Combination sleepers
Independently moving springs follow your body shape as you change position, while the resilient horsehair layers spring back rather than flattening quickly.

Side sleepers
Soft, medium and firm tensions let you pick the feel that suits your build and position, with pocketed springs giving close, localised support at the shoulder and hip.

This isn't the mattress for a tight budget: it costs several times what a good mid-range option does. If you want the contouring hug of memory foam, an all-natural pocket sprung feel will seem quite different, slightly springier and more traditional. Anyone wanting quick delivery should note the estimated timescales too.

How many springs does the Vispring Imperial have?

The 5-foot (King) size contains 1720 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in calico pockets with a wool protector pad. Spring counts in pocket sprung mattresses typically scale with size, and the fact sheet specifies this figure for the 5-foot size only.

What firmness is the Vispring Imperial mattress?

It comes in soft, medium or firm comfort levels, so you choose the tension that suits you. As a rough guide, lighter sleepers and side sleepers often prefer softer tensions, while heavier builds and back sleepers tend to get better support from medium or firm.

Does the Vispring Imperial come with a guarantee?

Furniture Village lists its own 20 Year Structural Guarantee on this mattress. That's the retailer's guarantee rather than a stated manufacturer warranty, so if you buy elsewhere, check what cover that seller provides.

How much does the Vispring Imperial cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. Four UK sizes are available: Single, Double, King and Super King. It's a significant outlay, though the all-natural fillings and hand-nested spring construction are built for longevity.

How long does delivery take for the Vispring Imperial?

Furniture Village's own delivery service carries a charge for mattresses to mainland UK, estimated within 28 days. Allow an extra 1 to 2 weeks for Wales, Scotland, the Highlands, the Isle of Wight, or postcodes more than 40 miles from a distribution centre. Other retailers will have their own terms.
