At 21cm deep, the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung is a slimmer build than many modern hybrids, though pocket sprung designs tend to rely on responsive springs rather than sheer bulk. It sits firmly at the premium end of the market. Sizes go from UK Single up to UK Emperor, which is useful if you're after a larger bed than the standard range covers.

Why should you choose this mattress?
A medium tension suits most sleepers, although notably heavy people who need firmer pushback, or very lightweight side sleepers who prefer a softer sink, may want to try before committing. Pocket springs give you localised support, which means less motion transfer when a partner turns over, and better contouring along your spine than open coil designs. Yes, the starting price is a serious outlay, but Vispring is a long-established name in traditional sprung mattresses and this model comes in five sizes including Emperor.
Key features & layer details
Pocket springs
Six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico. Each spring works on its own, so the base supports you where you lie and the mattress responds as you move.
Natural fillings
Layers of natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These add cushioning over the springs, and natural fibres tend to feel breathable, though this is a traditional build rather than a cooling one.
Wool protector pad
A wool protector pad sits on top for extra comfort. It gives the surface a soft, natural finish between you and the fillings underneath.

Best suited for?
Couples
Pocket springs give localised support, which means less motion transfer when a partner turns over, so one person's movement is less likely to disturb the other.
Back sleepers
The medium tension and pocket springs contour along your spine better than open coil designs, giving a balanced feel for lying on your back.
Combination sleepers
A medium tension suits most sleepers, and the responsive pocket springs should move with you as you change position through the night.
Side sleepers
Medium tension with localised pocket spring support suits most side sleepers, though very lightweight ones who like a softer sink may want to try it first.
If you sleep hot and want cooling gel or breathable foam technologies, this is a traditional sprung design rather than that sort of mattress. Budget buyers should look elsewhere: it has a premium starting price. Those who prefer a very deep, plush profile may find 21cm a little shallow.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model

FAQ's
How firm is the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress?
It's listed as a Medium tension. That places it in the middle of the range, which suits most back and side sleepers, although lighter sleepers may find any medium feels slightly firmer to them, and heavier sleepers slightly softer.
What sizes does the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung come in?
Five sizes are listed: UK Single, UK Double, UK King, UK Super King and UK Emperor. The Emperor option is a helpful inclusion, as many brands stop at Super King.
How much does the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It's a premium price, reflecting Vispring's position as a traditional pocket sprung specialist.
How deep is the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress?
It measures 21cm deep. That's a slimmer profile than many modern mattresses, so check your fitted sheets will suit it, though a shallower sprung mattress can still support you well because the springs do the work rather than thick comfort layers.
