Inside the Vispring Magnificence Medium you'll find 2,812 vanadium steel calico pocket springs in a two layer construction, upholstered with Shetland wool, cashmere, mohair and hand-opened Austrian Moosburger® horsetail. Vispring describes it as 'the ultimate in firm support', although this listing is the Medium tension, one of four tensions available. At 25cm base depth plus a generous 6cm of doming, it's a substantial, traditionally made mattress. Yes, the price is extraordinary, but the materials and hand craftsmanship are about as far from mass production as mattresses get.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Magnificence if you want natural materials and traditional craftsmanship without compromise. The two layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring core uses vanadium steel springs, which means a resilient, responsive feel and support that adapts across the whole surface rather than in zones. Above that sit layers of hand-teased Shetland wool blended with cashmere and mohair, plus Austrian Moosburger® horsetail, a material prized for breathability and springiness. If you're a hot sleeper, that natural fibre content should help regulate temperature far better than synthetic foams. It comes in five UK sizes, from Single to Super King. This is a purchase for people who see a mattress as a decades-long investment rather than a five-year stopgap.
Key features & layer details
Top upholstery layer
Hand-teased real Shetland wool blended with cashmere and mohair, which means a soft, breathable sleeping surface that helps regulate temperature. These fibres are teased by hand rather than compressed by machine, so the loft feels plush from day one.
Middle upholstery layer
Hand-opened Austrian Moosburger® horsetail, a traditional upholstery material valued for its natural spring and airflow. It adds resilience beneath the softer top fibres, so the surface recovers quickly when you move.
Core upholstery layer
Blended real Shetland wool and cotton, cushioning the transition between the upholstery and the springs. This layer keeps the feel consistent and stops you sensing the spring unit beneath.
Spring layer 1
A two layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring construction using vanadium steel springs, 2,812 in total. Each spring works independently, which means support that follows your body's shape and less motion transfer to a partner.
Base upholstery layer
Blended real Shetland wool and cotton beneath the springs, giving the unit a stable, cushioned foundation. It also protects the springs and the base of your bed from wear.
Border
Upholstered with protective coir and wool, which means firm, durable edges that hold their shape. You should feel supported sitting or sleeping near the side rather than rolling off.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Shetland wool, cashmere, mohair and Austrian Moosburger® horsetail are natural fibres valued for breathability, which should help regulate temperature better than synthetic foams.
Couples
Each of the 2,812 pocket springs works independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that follows each person's shape.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fibres including wool, cashmere, mohair and horsetail are used throughout the upholstery, so there is no reliance on synthetic foam for the sleeping surface.
Combination sleepers
The horsetail layer adds natural spring beneath the softer top fibres, so the surface recovers quickly each time you change position overnight.
Back sleepers
The medium tension and springs that adapt across the whole surface give even support, rather than being split into zones, when you lie flat.
At its starting price, this is out of reach for most budgets, and excellent sleep is available for far less. Skip it too if you want a low-profile mattress: at 25cm plus 6cm of doming, it's deep, and deep-pocket fitted sheets are essential. Vegans should also note the wool, horsetail, cashmere and mohair content.
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 Magnificence mattress?
This listing is the Medium tension, one of four Vispring offers (Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm). Slightly confusingly, Vispring's own page describes the Magnificence as 'the ultimate in firm support' without specifying which tension that refers to, so treat the Medium label as your guide and try before you buy if you can.
How deep is the Vispring Magnificence mattress?
The base mattress depth is 25cm, with an additional 6cm of doming on top (give or take 2cm). In practice that means a tall, generously filled mattress, so you'll want deep-pocket fitted sheets.
How many springs does the Vispring Magnificence have?
It contains 2,812 vanadium steel pocket springs in a two layer, hand-nested calico construction. Each spring sits in its own calico pocket, which means independent movement and support that contours to your body.
What is the Vispring Magnificence made of?
The upholstery layers use Shetland wool, cashmere, mohair, cotton and hand-opened Austrian Moosburger® horsetail, with a coir and wool border. The spring unit is vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets. There are no synthetic foams listed in its construction.
What sizes does the Vispring Magnificence come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King.
