You'd choose this mattress for the materials and the way they're put together. The springs are six-coil vanadium steel, hand nested in calico pockets (1,254 of them in the King size), which means each spring responds to your body independently for support that follows your shape. Above them sit all-natural fillings, with British fleece wool and cotton rather than synthetic foams, so the mattress breathes well and should suit hot sleepers. The choice of three tensions lets a lighter side sleeper go soft while a heavier back sleeper goes firm. Yes, the price is steep, but natural materials and hand-nested springs are genuinely expensive to produce, and the retailer-listed 20-year guarantee suggests confidence in how long it lasts.
Key Features & what's inside
- Wool protector pad. A wool protector pad sits at the top for extra comfort. Wool is naturally breathable, which means it helps regulate temperature through the night.
- Natural fillings. Beneath the pad are all-natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These materials wick moisture away from your body, so you're less likely to overheat.
- Springs. The base is six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico, with 1,254 in the King size. Each pocketed spring moves independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that adapts to your shape.

Who's it NOT for?
If your budget is under four figures, this isn't the mattress for you: it starts at £1,249. It's also a traditional sprung design, so if you prefer the contouring hug of memory foam, or a hybrid feel, look elsewhere. At 21cm it's slightly shallower than some premium mattresses, which may matter with deep fitted sheets.
Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung Mattress
How firm is the Vispring Traditional mattress?
It comes in a choice of soft, medium and firm tensions, so you choose rather than adapt. As a rough guide, lighter sleepers and side sleepers tend to suit softer tensions, while heavier people and back or front sleepers usually get on better with firmer ones.
How many springs does the Vispring Traditional have?
The Furniture Village listing specifies 1,254 six-coil vanadium steel springs in the King size, hand nested in calico. Other sizes will differ, as spring counts scale with mattress dimensions.
What is the Vispring Traditional mattress made of?
The fillings are all natural: Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton, with a wool protector pad on top and wool upholstered borders. There's no foam, which means better breathability and a more traditional supportive feel.
Does the Vispring Traditional come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village lists a 20-year guarantee, which is longer than most brands offer. That said, it's stated by the retailer rather than on Vispring's own page, so it's sensible to confirm the terms wherever you buy.
What sizes does the Vispring Traditional come in?
It's available in UK Single, Double, King, Super King and Emperor, priced from £1,249 to £3,099. The mattress is 21cm deep across the range.
