Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main reason to choose the Sublime Superb is the natural fill and the hand work. The fillings, British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail, silk and mohair among them, breathe far better than synthetic foams, which means less heat build-up if you sleep warm. The calico pocket springs are hand-nested, and the borders carry four rows of hand side-stitching, a labour-intensive detail that keeps the edges supportive over years of use. The choice of four tensions, from Soft to Extra Firm, means couples of different weights can order what suits them. Yes, the price is steep, but you are paying for materials and construction rather than marketing.
Key Features & what's inside
- Upholstery, top layer. British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail blended with real Shetland wool, silk and mohair, plus blended Shetland wool and cotton, all encased in high-quality ticking. These natural fibres wick moisture and allow airflow, which means a cooler, drier sleeping surface than synthetic alternatives.
- Springs. A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction made from vanadium steel, with 2,520 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Two layers of springs mean the upper layer contours to your shape while the lower layer provides deeper support.
- Borders. The borders are upholstered with protective coir and wool, finished with four rows of hand side-stitching. This means firmer edge support, so you can sit or sleep near the side without feeling you might roll off.

Who's it NOT for?
If your budget sits anywhere near the mainstream, this is not the mattress for you: from £12,049, it costs more than many people spend on a car. It is also a traditional sprung mattress, so if you prefer the slow, cradling sink of memory foam you will find the feel quite different. No UK Single size is listed either.

What firmness is the Vispring Sublime Superb available in?
It is available in four tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. This lets you match the feel to your body weight and preferred sleeping position, rather than accepting one fixed firmness.
How many springs does the Vispring Sublime Superb have?
It has 2,520 springs in the 150 x 200cm (King) size, arranged in a two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction made from vanadium steel. Spring counts vary with mattress size, so other sizes will differ.
How deep is the Vispring Sublime Superb mattress?
The overall depth is stated as 23cm, plus 6cm of doming (give or take 2cm). Doming is the gentle rise in the centre created by generous natural fillings, which settles slightly with use.
What sizes does the Vispring Sublime Superb come in?
It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King. No UK Single option is listed, which may matter if you are furnishing a guest room or child's room.
Is the Vispring Sublime Superb made from natural materials?
Yes, the fillings are natural: British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail, Shetland wool, silk, mohair and cotton, with coir and wool in the borders. The springs are vanadium steel in calico pockets. Natural fibres breathe well, which means better temperature regulation for hot sleepers.
