Assessed from the specification published by Furniture Village, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
You are paying for handwork and natural fillings rather than foam and marketing. Horsetail is a traditional filling prized for resilience and airflow, and the wool and cotton layers wick moisture, which means the mattress should sleep cooler than a synthetic build. The calico-pocketed springs are hand-nested, a slow, labour-intensive method that lets each spring move freely, so you feel less of your partner's movement. Furniture Village, the retailer listing this mattress, states a 20-year guarantee, a long span that reflects the build quality. Yes, the price is steep, but this is a mattress bought once and kept for decades rather than replaced every few years.
Key Features & what's inside
- Ticking. The outer cover is made from soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. This is the surface you'll actually feel through your sheets, so the quality here matters more than it might seem.
- Fillings. The fillings include British fleece wool and cotton, horsetail and real Shetland wool. Natural fibres like these breathe and wick away moisture, which means a drier, more temperature-stable feel through the night.
- Springs. The 5 foot size contains 2,112 vanadium steel springs with a wool protector pad, each spring with 6 coils and hand-nested in its own calico pocket. Individually pocketed springs move independently, so the mattress contours to your shape and limits motion transfer.
- Borders. The wool-upholstered borders include air vents and handles. The vents help the natural fillings breathe, and the handles make turning this substantial mattress a little easier.

Who's it NOT for?
This is not the mattress for a tight budget: from £6,249, it costs many times what a good mid-range mattress does. There's no UK Single size listed. And if you prefer the contouring hug of memory foam, this traditional sprung feel will seem quite different, supportive but with a more buoyant, on-top-of-the-bed sensation.

How many springs does the Vispring Superb have?
The 5 foot size contains 2,112 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in individual calico pockets with a wool protector pad. Spring counts in other sizes will differ, as the figure given applies to the 5 foot size only.
What is the Vispring Superb mattress filled with?
The fillings are natural throughout: British fleece wool, cotton, horsetail and real Shetland wool. These fibres breathe and manage moisture well, which means the mattress tends to feel drier and more temperature-stable than synthetic alternatives.
Does the Vispring Superb come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village, the retailer listing this mattress, states a 20-year guarantee. That's longer than most brands offer and reflects the traditional build. If you buy elsewhere, check that retailer's own terms, as guarantees can differ between sellers.
Is the Vispring Superb firm or soft?
This listing is for the Medium tension, a balanced feel that suits most sleepers. The Furniture Village page indicates the Superb is also made in soft and firm comfort levels, so if medium doesn't suit you, ask about the other tensions.
How long does Vispring Superb delivery take?
Furniture Village states delivery within 28 days, with a Premium Delivery Service at £39 for mattresses. These are the retailer's own terms, so timings and charges may differ if you buy from another stockist.
