The Vispring Magnificence is described by its maker as "the ultimate in firm support", though it is offered in a choice of tensions, and this version is the medium/firm. At its starting price, this is a mattress for a very small group of buyers. If you are in that group, the depth of materials here is genuinely difficult to match.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Everything in the Magnificence is there to do a job. The 2,812 vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size are hand-nested in calico pockets, which means each spring moves independently, so you feel support that follows your shape rather than a flat, uniform push-back. Horsetail is naturally springy and wicks moisture, and the Shetland wool, cashmere and mohair above it breathe well, which matters if you sleep warm. The page lists an overall depth of 25cm plus around 6cm of doming, giving a deep, cushioned surface. Yes, the price is extraordinary, but the materials and hand-built construction are the reason it costs what it does.
Key features & layer details
Top upholstery layer
Hand-opened Austrian Moosburger® horsetail with hand-teased real Shetland wool blended with cashmere and mohair. Horsetail gives a resilient, breathable surface, while the wool blend adds soft, temperature-regulating comfort directly beneath you.
Middle upholstery layer
Blended real Shetland wool and cotton. This sits between the comfort layer and the springs, which means the cushioning feels progressive rather than letting you sink straight onto the spring unit.
Spring layer
A two-layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,812 vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Two tiers of independent springs respond to both light and deeper pressure, so you get contouring and firm underlying support at once.
Base upholstery layer
Blended real Shetland wool and cotton again, this time beneath the springs. It protects the spring unit and gives the mattress a stable, quiet foundation.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Horsetail wicks moisture and the Shetland wool, cashmere and mohair above it breathe well, which helps keep the surface from feeling stuffy through the night.
Couples
Hand-nested pocket springs in calico pockets move independently, so each person gets support that follows their own shape, and the King and Super King sizes give plenty of room.
Combination sleepers
Two tiers of independent springs respond to light and deeper pressure, so the surface adapts as you change position rather than pushing back in one flat way.
Back sleepers
A medium firm feel with a progressive wool and cotton layer above the springs gives firm underlying support while still cushioning the curve of your body.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings run throughout, including horsetail, Shetland wool, cashmere, mohair and cotton, so there are no foam layers in the build.
At its starting price, this is out of reach for most budgets, and no mattress needs to cost as much to be supportive. It is also only listed in UK King and Super King, so single and double sleepers will need to look elsewhere. If you prefer the contouring hug of memory foam, an all-natural pocket spring feel may seem too springy.
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 many springs does the Vispring Magnificence have?
It has 2,812 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size, arranged in a two-layer calico pocket construction. Spring counts vary with mattress size, so other sizes will differ.
How firm is the Vispring Magnificence?
This version is the medium/firm tension. Vispring's own page describes the Magnificence as "the ultimate in firm support" and lists it in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm tensions, so you can choose the feel that suits your weight and sleeping position.
What is the Vispring Magnificence made of?
Natural materials throughout: Austrian Moosburger® horsetail, Shetland wool, cashmere, mohair, cotton and coir, over vanadium steel pocket springs, finished in high-quality ticking. There is no synthetic foam in the comfort layers.
How deep is the Vispring Magnificence mattress?
Vispring lists an overall depth of 25cm, plus around 6cm of doming (give or take 2cm), so the finished mattress sits noticeably deeper than the base figure suggests. Bear this in mind when buying fitted sheets.
How much does the Vispring Magnificence cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. UK King and UK Super King are available. It is a genuinely top-of-the-market price, reflecting hand-made construction and rare natural fibres rather than everyday value.
