Assessed from the specification published by Furniture Village, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose this if natural materials matter to you. The fillings are all natural, with Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton, which means the mattress breathes well and should feel less sweaty than synthetic alternatives. If you're a hot sleeper, that wool content genuinely helps. The six-coil vanadium steel springs are hand nested in calico pockets, which means each spring moves independently and responds to your shape rather than pushing back as one unit. Furniture Village lists a 20-year guarantee, unusually long cover, though check the terms apply wherever you buy. Sizes run from UK Single up to UK Emperor. Yes, the price is high, but this is traditional craftsmanship in a market full of shortcuts.
Key Features & what's inside
- Wool protector pad. A wool protector pad sits at the surface for extra comfort. It adds a soft, breathable first point of contact before you reach the fillings beneath.
- Natural fillings. All natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. Wool regulates temperature and wicks moisture, which means a drier, more even sleeping climate through the night.
- Springs. Six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico, with 1,254 in the King size. Nesting the springs in calico pockets lets each one compress independently, so support follows the curve of your body.

Who's it NOT for?
A soft tension is a poor match for heavier sleepers or committed front sleepers, who may sink too far and wake with a sore lower back. If you like a firm, on-top-of-the-bed feel, look at the firmer tensions in this range instead. And at £1,249 upwards, budget shoppers should look elsewhere without guilt.
Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung Soft Mattress
Is the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress soft or firm?
The range comes in a choice of soft, medium and firm tensions, and this listing is the soft version. Soft tensions suit lighter people and side sleepers who want pressure relief at the shoulder and hip. The retailer page does not explicitly label this item's tension, so confirm before ordering.
How many springs does the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress have?
The King size contains 1,254 six-coil vanadium steel springs, each hand nested in a calico pocket. Counts may differ in other sizes, including the Emperor. Hand nesting lets the springs sit closer together and move independently, which means more responsive, contoured support.
What is the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress made of?
The fillings are all natural: Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton, with a wool protector pad on top. The support comes from vanadium steel springs nested in calico. It is finished with finest quality ticking and wool upholstered borders, with no synthetic foams involved.
Does the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress come with a guarantee?
Furniture Village lists a 20-year guarantee on this mattress, which is longer than most brands offer. Because that term is stated by the retailer rather than confirmed on Vispring's own site, it is sensible to check the guarantee conditions with whichever retailer you buy from.
How much does the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung mattress cost?
Prices range from £1,249 to £3,099 depending on size, with options from UK Single through to UK Emperor. That is undeniably a premium spend, though it buys handmade construction, hand-nested calico springs and entirely natural fillings. Furniture Village lists delivery within 28 days, with a £39 Premium Delivery Service for mattresses.
