The Vispring Kingsbridge is described by its maker as having a medium-soft feel, so expect a gently yielding surface rather than a firm one. Natural fillings do the comfort work: British fleece wool and hand-teased horsetail, a traditional filling that springs back rather than compressing over time. At 23cm deep it is slimmer than its price might suggest, but the substance here is in the materials, not the height. It's serious money, and this is very much a considered, long-term purchase.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Kingsbridge if you want traditional craftsmanship over foam and technology. The two-layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring construction means each spring moves independently, which you feel as precise, contouring support and less disturbance from a partner. The horsetail and Devonshire wool blend gives a soft yet supportive surface, while British fleece wool adds warmth and breathability, useful if you tend to overheat under synthetic materials. The medium-soft feel suits sleepers who like to settle into the surface a little, although anyone wanting a firmer platform should note the Kingsbridge is offered in multiple tensions, so check the tension before ordering. Yes, the price is high, but these are entirely natural fillings assembled by hand.
Key features & layer details
British fleece wool
A layer of British fleece wool sits at the top for added warmth and comfort. Wool also handles moisture well, which helps the sleeping surface stay fresher.
Hand-teased horsetail and Devonshire wool
Hand-teased horsetail blended with Devonshire wool creates a soft yet supportive surface. Horsetail is naturally resilient, so it keeps its spring rather than flattening the way cheaper fillings can.
British fleece wool
A second layer of British fleece wool sits between the comfort fillings and the springs. It cushions the transition so you feel support without any sense of the springs beneath.
Pocket springs
A two-layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,030 vanadium steel springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Nesting the springs by hand packs them closely together, which means more responsive, evenly distributed support across the whole mattress.

Best suited for?
Couples
Each spring in the hand-nested pocket construction moves independently, which means you feel less disturbance from a partner turning over during the night.
Warm sleepers
British fleece wool adds warmth and breathability and handles moisture well, so the surface stays fresher for anyone who tends to overheat under synthetic materials.
Side sleepers
The medium-soft feel and contouring pocket springs let you settle into the soft horsetail and wool surface a little, which suits sleeping on your side.
Eco-conscious buyers
Entirely natural fillings of British fleece wool, Devonshire wool and hand-teased horsetail mean there is no foam, with everything assembled by hand.
If you prefer a firm, unyielding surface, the medium-soft feel of this tension will likely be too gentle, though the Kingsbridge does come in firmer tensions. Anyone wanting memory foam contouring should look elsewhere, as this is a purely natural, sprung construction. And at its starting price, it is simply out of reach for many budgets.
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.

FAQ's
How firm is the Vispring Kingsbridge mattress?
Vispring describes the Kingsbridge as having a medium-soft feel, so it yields gently rather than holding you on the surface. The brand's page notes it is available in multiple tensions, from Soft through to Extra Firm, so you can choose a firmer build if that suits you better.
What is the Vispring Kingsbridge made of?
Entirely natural materials: British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail blended with Devonshire wool, and a two-layer construction of vanadium steel pocket springs hand-nested in calico pockets. There is no foam or synthetic filling, which means better breathability and a more traditional, responsive feel.
How many springs does the Vispring Kingsbridge have?
The 150 x 200cm King size contains 2,030 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs, arranged in two layers within calico pockets. Spring counts vary by size, so smaller mattresses will contain fewer.
How much does the Vispring Kingsbridge cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. Five UK sizes are available from Single up to Super King. It is a significant outlay, but it reflects hand-nested calico springs and entirely natural fillings assembled by hand.
How deep is the Vispring Kingsbridge mattress?
It measures 23cm deep. That is slimmer than many modern mattresses, but the density of natural fillings and hand-nested springs means depth is a poor guide to quality here. Standard fitted sheets should fit without any trouble.
