The Vispring Realm's springs are hand-nested in calico pockets, which means each one moves independently and responds to your shape rather than pushing back as a single unit. It costs serious money, but you are paying for hand tufting, hand side-stitching and craftsmanship you can see at the edges. Furniture Village backs the mattress with a 20-year structural guarantee. It suits sleepers who want a natural, springy, traditional feel rather than the contouring hug of memory foam.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Realm if natural materials matter to you. There is no foam here at all: the fillings are British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton, which means the mattress breathes well and should sleep noticeably cooler than synthetic alternatives. If you're a hot sleeper, that alone is a strong argument. The vanadium steel springs, 1,326 of them in the 5-foot size, sit in hand-nested calico pockets, so movement on one side of the bed transfers less to the other. Two rows of hand side-stitching firm up the edges, useful if you sit on the bed to dress or tend to sleep near the border. The medium tension suits most sleepers, although those who prefer a very firm surface should look elsewhere.
Key features & layer details
Ticking
The outer cover is made from soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. It is the surface you'll actually feel through your sheet, so the softness matters more than it might seem.
Hand tufting and side-stitching
The mattress is hand tufted with felt washers, which holds the fillings in place so they settle evenly rather than shifting into lumps. Two rows of hand side-stitching strengthen the border, giving you firmer support right to the edge.
Natural fillings
The fillings are all natural: British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton. Wool in particular regulates temperature well, drawing moisture away so you stay drier through the night.
Pocket springs
Each spring has 6 coils and is hand-nested in its own calico pocket. That means the springs respond to your body individually, so you get support where you press down without disturbing your partner.
Wool protector pad
The 5-foot size contains 1,326 vanadium steel springs, topped with a wool protector pad. The pad cushions the transition between springs and fillings, so you feel support rather than individual coils.
Wool-upholstered borders
The borders are upholstered in wool and include air vents and handles. The vents let the mattress breathe, while the handles make turning it a slightly less awkward job.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
There is no foam, only British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton fillings, which means the mattress breathes well and should sleep cooler than synthetic alternatives.
Couples
Each spring sits in its own hand-nested calico pocket, so movement on one side transfers less to the other and a restless partner disturbs you less.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings of British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton, with no foam at all, suit anyone who wants a mattress made from natural materials.
Combination sleepers
Individually pocketed springs respond to your shape as you move, and the wool protector pad means you feel support rather than individual coils in any position.
This isn't the mattress for anyone who loves the sink-in, cradling feel of memory foam: it has a springier, more traditional response. Budget shoppers should also pass, as even the starting price is a significant outlay. And if you want a firm tension, this medium feel may be a little too forgiving.
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
Is the Vispring Realm mattress firm or soft?
It's a medium tension, which suits most sleeping positions. Side sleepers should find enough give at the shoulders and hips, while back sleepers still get decent support. If you specifically want a firm mattress, this probably isn't the one.
What is the Vispring Realm mattress made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton, with no synthetic foams. Underneath sit vanadium steel pocket springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in calico pockets. The borders are wool-upholstered with air vents and handles, and the whole mattress is hand tufted with felt washers.
How many springs does the Vispring Realm have?
The 5-foot size contains 1,326 pocket springs. Other sizes will contain a different number, as spring counts scale with the mattress footprint, so treat 1,326 as the figure for that size only.
Does the Vispring Realm come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village offers a 20-year structural guarantee. That's the retailer's own offer rather than a manufacturer warranty, so if you buy elsewhere, check what guarantee that seller provides before you commit.
How much does the Vispring Realm mattress cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It comes in UK Single, Double, King and Super King. It's a premium price, but the hand tufting, hand side-stitching and all-natural fillings go some way towards justifying it.
