Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose this if natural materials matter to you. There is no foam here at all: the comfort comes from British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool, which means the surface breathes well and should suit you if you tend to sleep warm. The springs are hand-nested in calico pockets rather than glued, which means each one can move independently and respond to your shape. Vispring offers its spring tensions in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm options, so it's sensible to confirm the tension with your retailer before ordering, as the product page doesn't state which tension this model ships with. Sizes available are UK Double, King and Super King.
Key Features & what's inside
- British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool upholstery. The comfort layers are made exclusively from natural fillings, British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool, encased in a wool worsted ticking. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means the sleep surface stays drier and cooler than synthetic fillings tend to.
- Hand-nested calico pocket spring construction. A one-layer arrangement of hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1,720 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each hand-crafted from vanadium steel. Because the springs are nested by hand rather than glued in rows, they flex independently, which means better contouring and less motion transfer from a partner.

Who's it NOT for?
At £5,599 upwards, this is out of reach for most budgets, and cheaper pocket sprung mattresses will still serve many sleepers well. The 21cm depth may look slim if you like a tall, hotel-style build. And if you want a single mattress or a bespoke size, only Double, King and Super King are listed.

How firm is the Vispring Shetland Bedstead Mattress?
It's listed as Medium, though Vispring's own page does not confirm a tension for this model and shows a Feel Index of 1 on a scale to 5, suggesting a softer comfort positioning. Vispring offers Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm spring tensions, so confirm your tension with the retailer before ordering.
How many springs does the Vispring Shetland Bedstead Mattress have?

How deep is the Vispring Shetland Bedstead Mattress?
The mattress is 21cm deep, plus around 6cm of doming (give or take 2cm) from the natural fillings on top. That slimmer profile suits bedsteads well, though it will sit lower than many modern deep mattresses.
What is the Vispring Shetland Bedstead Mattress made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool, encased in a wool worsted ticking and finished with woollen tufts and twine. The support comes from hand-nested calico pocket springs made from vanadium steel. There is no foam in the construction.
