Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
If you want a mattress made almost entirely from natural fibres, this is what that looks like. The upholstery combines Shetland wool, long stranded horsetail and bonded British fleece wool with cotton, which means the mattress breathes well and manages moisture better than synthetic foams, a genuine help if you sleep warm. Underneath, hand-nested calico pocket springs made from vanadium steel respond to each sleeper individually, so you're less likely to feel a partner moving. The 23cm depth plus doming gives a plump, traditional profile. Yes, £5,549 is a great deal of money for a Double, but you're paying for handmade construction and materials chosen to last, and Vispring builds to that standard rather than to a price point.
Key Features & what's inside
- Shetland wool layer. A blend of real Shetland wool and cotton sits closest to you. Wool regulates temperature and wicks moisture, which means a more comfortable surface if you tend to overheat.
- Horsetail layer. South American long stranded horsetail blended with British fleece wool. Horsetail is naturally springy and resilient, so this layer adds bounce and helps the mattress recover its shape night after night.
- Bonded wool layer. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton adds durability and support. This firmer fibre layer sits between the softer upholstery and the springs, helping the comfort layers hold their structure over time.
- Spring system. A hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 1,720 vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring is sewn into its own calico pocket by hand, which means precise, independent support across the whole surface.

Who's it NOT for?
If you want a firmer, more supported feel at the surface, the gently soft feel here may not suit you, although the same model is offered in firmer tensions. It's also a poor fit for anyone on a tight budget: at £5,549 there are capable mattresses for a fraction of the price. Memory foam fans should look elsewhere too.

Is the Vispring Regal Superb soft or firm?
Vispring describes this mattress as having a gently soft feel with just the right amount of resilience, so expect noticeable surface softness with springy support beneath. The brand's page indicates it's available in multiple tensions, from Soft to Extra Firm, so confirm the tension before buying.
What is the Vispring Regal Superb made of?
The upholstery layers use Shetland wool, South American horsetail, British fleece wool and cotton, finished in high-quality ticking. The support comes from hand-nested calico pocket springs made from vanadium steel, with 1,720 springs in the 150 x 200cm size.
How deep is the Vispring Regal Superb mattress?
The mattress is 23cm deep, plus around 6cm of doming (give or take 2cm), which gives it a plump, traditional profile. Bear the total height in mind if you use fitted sheets with shallow pockets.
How much does the Vispring Regal Superb cost?
It's priced at £5,549 in a UK Double. That's a significant outlay, but it reflects handmade construction, natural fibre upholstery and hand-nested calico pocket springs rather than machine-made shortcuts.
