The Kingsbridge Soft has what Vispring describes as a medium-soft feel, so it's gentler than average, which means side sleepers and lighter bodies get real cushioning at the shoulder and hip. It measures 23cm deep with 6cm of doming on top. It's serious money, although the hand-nested construction and all-natural fillings are exactly what you're paying for. Sizes range from UK Single to UK Super King, and other tensions are available if soft isn't right for you.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Kingsbridge if you want a genuinely soft, natural sleep surface rather than foam. The horsetail and wool blend gives a plush top that still breathes well, which means less overheating than memory foam typically allows. Underneath, 2,030 vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size are hand-nested in calico pockets, so each spring responds to your body independently. That translates to gentle, contouring support that suits side sleepers and lighter people especially well. Yes, the price is high, but this is traditional hand-built construction with felt washers and quality ticking throughout. If the medium-soft feel worries you, the model also comes in Medium, Firm and Extra Firm tensions.
Key features & layer details
British fleece wool
A top layer of British fleece wool, which means natural warmth and a soft, breathable sleeping surface.
Hand-teased horsetail and Devonshire wool
Hand-teased horsetail blended with Devonshire wool. Horsetail is springy and breathable, so the surface feels soft without collapsing under you.
British fleece wool
A second layer of British fleece wool sits between the fillings and the springs, adding cushioning depth.
Pocket springs
A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction, with 2,030 vanadium steel springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring moves independently, which means support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a partner.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The medium-soft feel and plush horsetail and wool top give real cushioning at the shoulder and hip, so your body sinks in comfortably.
Lighter sleepers
Lighter bodies get the most from the soft tension, as each independent pocket spring responds gently and lets you sink in rather than sit on top.
Warm sleepers
Natural horsetail and wool fillings keep the surface breathable, which means less overheating than memory foam typically allows.
Couples
Hand-nested pocket springs move independently, which means you feel less disturbance when your partner shifts, and sizes run from UK Single up to UK Super King.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings of British fleece wool, Devonshire wool and horsetail replace foam, giving a traditional hand-built mattress with a natural sleep surface.
This tension isn't right for heavier sleepers or anyone who prefers a firm, flat surface, as the medium-soft feel allows noticeable sinkage. Stomach sleepers may find their hips dip too far. And if your budget sits below the starting price, plenty of good pocket sprung mattresses cost far less.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model

It uses a two layer construction of hand-nested calico pocket springs, with 2,030 vanadium steel springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Spring counts scale with mattress size.
What is the Vispring Kingsbridge made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail and Devonshire wool over calico-pocketed vanadium steel springs, finished with high-quality ticking and felt washers. There's no foam, which means better breathability than most synthetic mattresses.
How deep is the Vispring Kingsbridge mattress?
It measures 23cm deep, plus 6cm of doming on top from the natural fillings. Deep fitted sheets are a sensible buy.
