The Vispring Sublime Superb is listed here in the Soft tension, although Vispring makes the model in Medium, Firm and Extra Firm as well, which means you can match the feel to your weight and sleeping position. It is 23cm deep with around 6cm of doming on top. It is serious money. What you get for it is two layers of hand-nested calico pocket springs and traditional craftsmanship of a kind very few brands still practise.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose this mattress if you want natural materials and a genuinely soft, cushioned feel without giving up support. The two-layer pocket spring construction, 2,520 springs in the 150 x 200cm King size, means the springs respond to your body independently, so you sink in where you are heavier and stay supported everywhere else. Horsetail and wool fillings breathe far better than synthetic foams, which matters if you sleep warm. The four rows of hand side-stitching keep the edges firm, so you can sleep right up to the border. Yes, the price is high, but the materials and hand construction are the reason, and the range of tensions lets most sleepers find a fit.
Key features & layer details
Upholstery
Every filling is natural: 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. In practice that means a breathable, temperature-regulating surface that softens with body shape rather than trapping heat the way foam can.
Springs
Two layers of hand-nested calico pocket springs made from vanadium steel, with 2,520 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Nesting the springs by hand in calico pockets lets each one move independently, which you feel as support that follows your shape closely.
Borders
The borders are upholstered with protective coir and wool and finished with four rows of hand side-stitching. This stiffens the edges, so the mattress holds its shape over time and supports you when you sit or sleep near the side.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The soft tension and the doming on top let shoulders and hips sink in, while the independent pocket springs keep the rest of the body supported.
Warm sleepers
Horsetail and wool fillings breathe far better than synthetic foams, so the surface regulates temperature rather than trapping heat overnight.
Couples
Two layers of hand-nested pocket springs move independently, and four rows of side-stitching keep the edges firm, so you can both sleep right up to the border.
Eco-conscious buyers
Every filling is natural, including British fleece wool, horsetail, Shetland wool, silk, mohair and cotton, all encased in ticking.
If your budget is anywhere near typical mattress spending, this is not the one. In the Soft tension it will feel too yielding for heavier sleepers or dedicated stomach sleepers, who would be better served by one of the firmer tensions. Anyone avoiding animal-derived materials should also look elsewhere.
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 Sublime Superb only available in soft?
No. Vispring's own page lists four tensions for this model: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. The Soft version suits lighter sleepers and side sleepers who want plenty of surface cushioning, while heavier sleepers can pick a firmer tension of the same construction.
How many springs does the Vispring Sublime Superb have?
Vispring states 2,520 springs for the 150 x 200cm size, which is the 5ft x 6ft 6in King. Other sizes will differ, since spring counts scale with mattress area. The springs are hand-nested in calico pockets and made from vanadium steel, arranged in two layers.
How deep is the Vispring Sublime Superb mattress?
Vispring states a depth of 23cm, plus around 6cm of doming on top, give or take 2cm. Doming is the gentle rise created by the natural fillings, so the mattress sits taller in the middle than the border measurement suggests.
What is the Vispring Sublime Superb made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: British fleece wool, hand-teased horsetail blended with Shetland wool, silk and mohair, plus Shetland wool and cotton. The borders use coir and wool with four rows of hand side-stitching. The springs are vanadium steel in hand-nested calico pockets.
How much does the Vispring Sublime Superb 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 sits firmly at the luxury end of the market, and the cost reflects the all-natural fillings and hand-built pocket spring construction.
