Assessed from Vispring's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose this if you want natural fillings and traditional construction rather than foam. The wool and cotton upholstery breathes well, which means it should help if you tend to sleep warm, and the hand-nested springs give localised support that follows your shape. At 21cm deep, plus around 6cm of doming from the generous fillings, it is shallower than many modern mattresses, but that is typical of this style of build and suits a slatted bedstead. It comes in UK Double, King and Super King. Yes, the price is high, but natural materials and hand-nesting are slow, expensive processes, and you can see where the money goes.
Key Features & what's inside
- Bonded upholstery layer. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, which means the fibres are held together for consistent support and stability. This is the layer closest to you, so you feel its evenness night after night.
- Layered filling. A second layer of British fleece wool and cotton. Wool wicks moisture and regulates temperature naturally, so hot sleepers should find it slightly more forgiving than synthetic fillings.
- Spring system. Hand-nested calico pocket springs in a single layer, with 1,254 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring works independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that follows your shape.

Who's it NOT for?
If you prefer a soft, sink-in feel, look elsewhere: Vispring pitches this at those who want a firmer feel, and lightweight side sleepers may find it a little unyielding. It is also a poor fit for tight budgets, with prices starting at £1,619, and there is no UK Single size listed.

How firm is the Vispring Traditional Bedstead Mattress?
Vispring describes it as being for those who desire a firmer feel. That makes it a sensible choice for back and front sleepers or heavier builds, although lighter side sleepers may find it a little too firm at the shoulder and hip.
How many springs does the Vispring Traditional Bedstead Mattress have?
There are 1,254 hand-nested calico pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size, arranged in a single layer. The springs are made from vanadium steel, and hand-nesting means each one is sewn to its neighbours so they respond individually to your weight.
What is the Vispring Traditional Bedstead Mattress made of?
The fillings are natural: British fleece wool and cotton, both bonded and layered. Underneath sit vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets, with felt washers and a high-quality ticking. There is no foam or synthetic filling listed.
How deep is the Vispring Traditional Bedstead Mattress?
The overall depth is 21cm, plus around 6cm of doming from the generous fillings, with a variation of a couple of centimetres either way. That is shallower than many modern mattresses, but it suits a bedstead and deep-fitted sheets should still work.
What sizes does the Vispring Traditional Bedstead Mattress come in?
It is available in UK Double, UK King and UK Super King, with prices from £1,619 to £2,359 depending on the size you choose. No single size is listed.
