In the Vispring Tiara Superb, the horsetail matters more than it sounds: it springs back naturally, which means the surface keeps its resilience rather than gradually flattening. This is the Soft tension, which suits side sleepers and lighter bodies best, although the mattress is also made in Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. It is a serious outlay, but you are paying for hand side-stitching, calico pocket springs and natural fillings throughout rather than foam and marketing.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Tiara Superb if you want traditional craftsmanship over synthetic materials. The two-layer hand-nested calico spring construction means each spring is sewn into its own cotton pocket by hand, so the springs respond to your body individually and the mattress contours closely without the sinking feel of memory foam. Shetland wool and cotton in the upholstery help regulate temperature, which means less overheating if you tend to sleep warm. The borders are upholstered with protective coir and wool and finished with three rows of hand side-stitching, so the edges hold their shape when you sit or sleep near them. In the Soft tension, it gives a gentle, cradling feel with proper spring support underneath.
Key features & layer details
Upholstery, top layer
Blended Shetland wool and cotton sit alongside hand-teased horsetail blended with more Shetland wool, all encased in high-quality ticking. Wool and cotton breathe well, which means the sleeping surface stays drier and more temperate through the night.
Springs
A two-layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,244 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Because each spring works independently, you get close contouring and less disturbance from a partner moving about.
Borders
The borders are upholstered with protective coir and wool, then finished with three rows of hand side-stitching. This reinforces the perimeter, which means firmer edge support and a mattress that keeps its shape over years of use.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The Soft tension with a cradling feel and individually responding pocket springs lets shoulders and hips settle in, while the springs underneath keep you supported.
Lighter sleepers
Soft tension suits lighter bodies best, and the hand-nested calico pocket springs respond to your weight individually, so you get contouring without being held up too firmly.
Warm sleepers
Shetland wool and cotton in the upholstery breathe well and help regulate temperature, which means the surface stays drier and you are less likely to overheat overnight.
Couples
Each spring sits in its own cotton pocket and works independently, which means you feel less disturbance when your partner moves about during the night.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings including Shetland wool, cotton, horsetail and coir are used throughout instead of foam, which suits anyone who prefers traditional materials to synthetic ones.
In the Soft tension, this is a poor match for heavier sleepers or anyone who needs a firmer, flatter surface for back support, though Vispring makes the same mattress in Medium, Firm and Extra Firm tensions. And there is no getting around the price: if your budget doesn't run to a premium starting price, look elsewhere.

FAQ's
How many springs does the Vispring Tiara Superb have?
It has 2,244 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size, arranged in a two-layer hand-nested calico construction. Spring counts vary with mattress size, so smaller or larger sizes will differ.
What is the Vispring Tiara Superb made of?
The fillings are natural: Shetland wool, cotton and hand-teased horsetail in the upholstery, with coir and wool protecting the borders. The support comes from vanadium steel pocket springs sewn into calico pockets, and the whole mattress is 23cm deep.
Is the Vispring Tiara Superb soft or firm?
The base model covered here is Soft, but the mattress is made in four tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. That means you can match the tension to your body weight and sleeping position rather than compromising.
How much does the Vispring Tiara Superb cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King. It costs a significant sum, but the hand-nested calico springs, natural fillings and hand side-stitching are labour-intensive to produce.
What sizes does the Vispring Tiara Superb come in?
It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King. If you need a Single or a non-standard size, this model's listed range will not cover you.
