Assessed from the specification published by Furniture Village, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This is a mattress for people who want traditional craftsmanship and natural materials, and are prepared to pay for both. The fillings, wool, cotton and horsetail, breathe far better than foam, which means it should sleep noticeably cooler if you tend to overheat at night. The calico-pocketed springs move independently, so a restless partner is less likely to disturb you. You can choose soft, medium or firm tension rather than settling for one house feel. Furniture Village, which lists this model, backs it with a 20-year guarantee, a long span that reflects how these mattresses are built to last. The price is high, but the construction justifies it better than most.
Key Features & what's inside
- Ticking. The outer cover is made from soft, finest quality ticking. It's the surface you'll actually feel through your sheets, so the softness matters more than it might sound.
- Fillings. Beneath the cover sit British fleece wool, cotton, horsetail and real Shetland wool. These natural fibres wick moisture and regulate temperature, which means less of the clammy warmth you can get with foam layers.
- Springs. The 5 foot size holds 2112 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in calico pockets and topped with a wool protector pad. Because each spring works independently, the mattress contours to your shape and limits movement transferring across the bed.
- Borders. The wool-upholstered borders include air vents and handles. The vents help the natural fillings breathe, and the handles make turning the mattress far less of a struggle.

Who's it NOT for?
If your budget sits anywhere near the mainstream, this isn't the mattress for you: at £6,249 upwards it costs more than many people spend on a whole bedroom. It's also unavailable in sizes smaller than a UK Double, and anyone wanting the pressure-cradling feel of memory foam should look elsewhere.

What sizes does the Vispring Superb come in?
It's available in UK Double, UK King, UK Super King and UK Grand Super King. There's no single size, so it won't suit a child's room or a small guest bed.
How firm is the Vispring Superb mattress?
It's available in soft, medium or firm comfort levels, so you choose the tension when you order. As a rough guide, lighter sleepers and side sleepers usually get on better with softer tensions, while heavier builds tend to prefer firm.
How many springs does the Vispring Superb have?
The 5 foot size contains 2112 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in individual calico pockets. Nesting each spring in its own pocket means they compress independently, so the mattress follows your shape closely.
Does the Vispring Superb come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village, which lists this mattress, states a 20-year guarantee. That's the retailer's stated term, so if you're buying elsewhere it's worth confirming the guarantee with that seller before you order.
How long does delivery take for the Vispring Superb?
Furniture Village lists delivery within 28 days, with a Premium Delivery Service at £39 for mattresses. These are that retailer's terms, so timings and charges may differ if you buy from another stockist.
