Not ideal for
Worth knowing:
Sprung Divan Base or Firm Edge Sprung Divan Base
What it is: Two base options are available, each containing 950 hand nested pocket springs beneath the upholstery. The Sprung Divan Base offers a softer, cushioned feel. The Firm Edge Sprung Divan Base adds reinforced edge support around the perimeter for a more stable sleeping surface.
How it helps you: The pocket springs work in harmony with the mattress above, absorbing pressure and helping extend the mattress's comfortable lifespan. The Firm Edge option also makes it easier to sit on the edge of the bed and get in and out. Both options are genuine Vispring bases, built from slow-grown Scandinavian Spruce and covered by the full 30-year guarantee.
Natural Layers
What it is: Naturally breathable layers of coir fibres and blended Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton within the base upholstery.
How it helps you: These natural layers improve airflow through the base and help regulate temperature, adding to the comfort and support the base provides beneath the mattress.
Storage Options
What it is: Storage configurations available: no storage; 2 full size drawers; 4 full size drawers; 2+2 Continental drawers. Drawers are soft-close and made from solid beech with dovetail joints.
How it helps you: Soft-close drawers give you easy, quiet access to spare blankets and sheets without disturbing the bedroom, and the solid beech construction is built to last.
The Included Mattress: Vispring Dartington
What it is: A hand nested pocket spring mattress, available in Soft, Medium, Firm or Extra Firm tension, with 1,558 springs and 100% Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton fillings. The mattress is hand teased, hand-tufted with felt washers, finished with tape edging and 2 rows of genuine hand side stitching, and covered in a Tick 596 Devonshire cover (62% Viscose, 38% Wool) treated with M-Pure natural fire retardant. Depth is 27cm.
How it helps you: The natural wool and cotton comfort layers cushion the body while the hand nested pocket springs provide independent, body-responsive support. British Wool regulates temperature year-round. This is a double-sided, seasonal turn mattress - turn and rotate head to toe every 3-4 months to extend its lifespan.

The chrome castors are 7cm high, lifting the bed 7cm off the ground.
Vs bed frames: A divan set sits lower to the floor and has a more minimal visible profile than most bed frames. The base is fully upholstered with no exposed legs or joints, other than the chrome castors. The set includes the mattress, whereas bed frame buyers purchase their mattress separately. Bed frames offer more design variety but no integrated, sprung base support for the mattress.
Vs other divan sets in this price range: The Dartington sits within Vispring's own-brand divan range, built entirely from natural materials with no foam anywhere in the construction. What you get for the price is genuine hand nested pocket springs in both the base and mattress, hand teased and hand-tufted natural wool comfort layers, and a choice of four tensions - features usually reserved for bespoke or made-to-order beds - backed by a 30-year guarantee that is well ahead of most divan sets on the market.
Vs premium and luxury divan ranges: This set shares the same upholstered, hand nested pocket sprung base construction and natural fillings as higher-priced ranges within Vispring. The difference is typically in the depth of the comfort layers and the specific wool blends used, rather than any compromise in base quality or craftsmanship.
The Vispring Dartington divan set is backed by Vispring's 30-year manufacturer's guarantee, covering both the base and the mattress against defects in materials and workmanship. Given the quality of the hand nested pocket springs and natural fillings used throughout, this is a bed built to last - the guarantee reflects that.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.
Platinum Certified British Wool - Guaranteed by the British Wool Marketing Board for quality and exacting standards, and sustainably sourced from British farms.
FSC Certified Timber - Independently certified confirmation that the base timber comes from responsibly managed forests.
Queen's Award for Enterprise - Vispring has been recognised with a Queen's Award for Enterprise, an accolade reserved for businesses that have excelled in international trade, innovation, or sustainable development.
The Vispring Dartington divan set delivers a genuine handcrafted foundation and mattress pairing: hand nested pocket springs throughout, natural wool and cotton comfort layers, and a choice of four tensions, all backed by a 30-year guarantee. If you want a complete sleep set that's built to last and tailored to your preferred feel, this is one to consider.

Over the last 50 years (or more) I've never slept in a bed as comfortable as this over the many beds across the world I've slept in. We were very nervous that spending such a lot of money on a bed was a thing we would regret if it didn't live up to expectations, but we couldn't have been more wrong. Great product, you definitely get what you pay for in this instance.
