The Vispring Superb Bedstead's upholstery is entirely natural: British fleece wool, cotton, South American horsetail and Real Shetland wool. Vispring describes the feel as firm, consistent and supportive, so this is a bed for those who like a settled, solid surface rather than a soft sink-in one. It comes in UK Double, King and Super King sizes.

Why should you choose this mattress?
You are paying for materials and craft here, and the fact sheet backs that up. The spring unit uses vanadium steel springs nested by hand in calico pockets, with 2,112 springs in the 150 x 200cm size, which means very precise, quiet support with little motion transfer to a partner. Above that sit layers of natural fibres, including horsetail, a springy, breathable material that helps the surface recover its shape, and Shetland wool for temperature regulation. Spring tensions are available in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm options, so the feel can be matched to your weight and preference. The overall depth is 23cm plus 6cm of doming, give or take 2cm. The price is serious, but the construction justifies the conversation.
Key features & layer details
Top upholstery
Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, with South American horsetail blended with British fleece wool. Horsetail is naturally resilient, which means the surface springs back rather than developing lasting body impressions, while the wool and cotton keep it breathable.
Middle upholstery
Layered Real Shetland wool and cotton. This cushions the transition between the soft top layers and the spring unit, and wool's temperature-regulating quality helps if you tend to sleep warm.
Spring system
A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,112 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Two tiers of springs mean the upper layer responds to smaller movements while the lower layer handles deeper support, which you feel as steady, even pressure relief.

Best suited for?
Couples
Hand-nested calico pocket springs give precise, quiet support with little motion transfer, so one person moving about is less likely to disturb the other.
Warm sleepers
Shetland wool in the middle upholstery regulates temperature, and the wool and cotton layers stay breathable, which helps if you tend to sleep hot.
Back sleepers
A medium firm, settled surface with two tiers of springs gives steady, even support, which suits anyone who prefers a solid feel to a soft sink-in one.
Eco-conscious buyers
The upholstery is entirely natural, using British fleece wool, cotton, South American horsetail and Real Shetland wool, so there are no synthetic fillings in the layers.
Heavier sleepers
Spring tensions come in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm, so the feel can be matched to a heavier build, and the firm, consistent surface resists lasting body impressions.
This is not the mattress for anyone wanting a plush, cradling surface: Vispring describes the standard feel as firm, consistent and supportive, and lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too solid unless they choose a softer spring tension. It is also a significant outlay, so budget-focused buyers should 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 Superb Bedstead Mattress firm or medium firm?
Vispring's own product page describes the feel as firm, consistent and supportive, and positions it at the firmest end of its Feel Index. Some retailer listings label it Medium Firm, but the brand's description is the safer guide. Spring tensions are available in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm, so the feel can be adjusted.
How many springs does the Vispring Superb Bedstead have?
It has 2,112 springs in the 150 x 200cm (UK King) size, arranged in a two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction. The springs are made from vanadium steel and each sits in its own calico pocket, which means they respond individually to your body.
How deep is the Vispring Superb Bedstead Mattress?
The overall depth is stated as 23cm, plus 6cm of doming with a tolerance of plus or minus 2cm. Doming is the gentle rise in the centre created by the generous natural fillings, which settles gradually with use.
What sizes does the Vispring Superb Bedstead come in?
It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King.
What is the Vispring Superb Bedstead made of?
The fillings are entirely natural: bonded British fleece wool, cotton, South American horsetail and Real Shetland wool, finished with woollen tufts and twine and high-quality ticking. The support comes from vanadium steel pocket springs nested by hand in calico.
