Layer Details
Bonded British fleece wool and cotton
The top layer of upholstery is made purely from bonded British fleece wool and cotton. These natural fibres breathe well, which means the sleeping surface stays cooler and drier than synthetic alternatives.
Horsehair
Beneath the wool sits a layer of horsehair, a traditional filling prized for its natural bounce. It also lets air move freely through the mattress, helping regulate temperature through the night.
Blended British fleece wool and cotton
A further layer of blended British fleece wool and cotton sits closer to the springs. It adds cushioning depth while keeping the fillings entirely natural.
Hand-nested calico pocket springs
The support comes from vanadium steel pocket springs, hand-nested in calico pockets in a single layer. Vispring quotes 1,476 springs for the 150 x 200cm King Size, and hand-nesting allows each spring to flex independently so the mattress follows your shape closely.

Key benefits
- Room for two without crowding the bedroom: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in a typical second bedroom or first flat, where a larger bed would dominate.
- Independent springs for a shared bed: The hand-nested pocket springs flex individually, which means each of you is supported where you lie rather than sharing a single dip in the middle.
- A cooler surface when two people share: The wool, cotton and horsehair fillings let air move through the mattress, which helps when two bodies are generating heat in a bed of this width.
- Space for bedside tables: In a room of around 3m x 3m, a UK double usually still leaves you each a bedside table and a clear path to your side of the bed.
- A comfortable choice for visiting couples: In a guest room, the UK double gives visiting couples a proper shared bed and leaves the rest of the room usable for the other fifty weeks of the year.
This size suits you if...
You share a bed and your bedroom is around 3m x 3m or a little smaller, you want a natural, medium-firm feel with no synthetic foam, or you sleep alone with a dog or cat that likes to claim its own corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to spread out, you are tall enough to find 190cm short, or you want a soft, sinking feel from memory foam.

FAQ's
Does the Vispring Herald Superb come in a UK king?
Vispring currently lists the Herald Superb in a UK double only. If you are sure you need more width or length than a 135 x 190cm bed gives you, check the brand's own range before buying, because the Herald Superb in a UK double is the only listed option.
How much space does each person get on a Vispring Herald Superb UK double?
Sharing a UK double gives you 67.5cm each. That suits most couples who sleep fairly still, and the individually moving pocket springs help keep one partner's movement from reaching the other. If either of you sleeps starfish-style, 67.5cm can feel a little snug.
Will a Vispring Herald Superb UK double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable space for bedside tables on both sides. Measure your room before ordering, especially in a second bedroom where a wardrobe and drawers also need a home.
What are the Vispring Herald Superb double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. Vispring gives the depth as 21cm and notes an extra 6cm of doming on top, so allow for that when you choose a bed frame and fitted sheets.
Is the Vispring Herald Superb UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long. Most adults fit comfortably on a bed of that length, but if you are tall enough that your feet already reach the end of your current double, a 190cm bed is unlikely to feel any roomier, and Vispring currently lists the Herald Superb only in a UK double.
