Vispring Elite Mattress

The Vispring Elite is a luxury handcrafted pocket spring mattress from Vispring, hand-built in Great Britain and available in four tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. It is built around Vispring's own Hand Nested Pocket Spring system - 1254 springs per mattress, hand-nested in a honeycomb pattern from Vanadium steel - and layered with 100% Platinum Certified British Fleece Wool and cotton, with no foam or synthetic fillings. The result is a natural, breathable mattress that adapts to your body and your partner's, hand-tufted with felt washers and finished with two rows of genuine hand side stitching for edge-to-edge support, and backed by a free 30-year guarantee.

Who Is This Mattress For?

A handcrafted natural fibre pocket spring mattress from Vispring, available in four tensions from Soft through to Extra Firm, filled with Platinum Certified British Fleece Wool and cotton, hand-tufted with felt washers, and best suited to sleepers who want a genuinely traditional, breathable feel with a choice of support level to match their sleeping position.

This mattress is available in four tensions - Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm - so you can choose the support level that matches how you sleep.

Soft Feel - 1/6

Our softest tension, designed for maximum comfort and pressure relief. Ideal for side sleepers, this feel allows shoulders and hips to gently sink into the mattress for a cushioned, cosy night's sleep.

Best for

• Side sleepers - the Soft tension cushions shoulders and hips to relieve pressure points while keeping your spine aligned
• Lightweight sleepers - the softer feel allows the natural wool and cotton layers to contour properly to your body
• Couples - independently working pocket springs help absorb movement so you won't disturb each other
• People with pressure point pain - the hand-teased wool fillings help reduce pressure on hips, shoulders and joints
• Hot sleepers - breathable, foam-free wool and cotton fillings and chrome air vents help regulate temperature naturally
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Front sleepers - hips may sink too far into a Soft tension mattress
• Heavier sleepers - may benefit from a firmer tension for proper support
• Sleepers who prefer a very firm, supportive feel

Medium Feel - 3/6

The goldilocks option - not too firm, not too soft. Medium is the most versatile firmness level, balancing comfort and support in a way that suits most sleeper types.

Best for

• Side sleepers - cushions pressure points while keeping your spine aligned
• Back sleepers - supportive enough to maintain the spine's natural curve
• Front sleepers - firm enough to help prevent hips from sinking too far
• Combination sleepers - independently working pocket springs respond as you move
• Couples - pocket springs move independently to reduce partner disturbance
• Hot sleepers - breathable natural wool and cotton fillings help regulate temperature
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Sleepers who prefer a very soft, sink-in feel
• Heavier sleepers who may benefit from a firmer mattress for better support

Firm Feel - 5/6

A supportive, solid feel designed to keep your body well supported throughout the night. Ideal for back and front sleepers, or those who prefer a firmer sleeping surface.

Best for

• Back sleepers - keeps your spine well supported and aligned
• Front sleepers - keeps your body flat and supported, without sinking
• Heavier sleepers - the 1254 hand nested pocket springs provide the support needed for proper spinal alignment
• People with back pain - a firm, traditionally built mattress gives consistent support
• Couples - pocket springs move independently to reduce partner disturbance
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers who need more cushioning for shoulders and hips
• Sleepers who prefer a softer, more plush feel

Extra Firm Feel - 6/6

Our firmest option, offering maximum support and minimal sink. Perfect for front sleepers, heavier individuals, or anyone who prefers a very firm, supportive mattress.

Best for

• Front sleepers - keeps your body level and well supported
• Heavier sleepers - the highest weight limit in the range, with extra support and durability
• People who prefer a very firm, traditionally built mattress
• Orthopaedic support - a solid, minimal-sink surface for those who need it
• Sleepers up to 158kg (25st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers who need cushioning for shoulders and hips
• Lightweight sleepers who may find this tension too hard

Inside This Mattress

Hand Nested Pocket Springs What it is: Vispring's own spring system - 1254 springs per mattress, made in-house from the finest Vanadium steel and hand-nested by craftsmen in a honeycomb pattern. Each spring sits in its own natural cotton calico pocket. How it helps you sleep: Every spring moves independently, sensing the weight, pressure and contours of both you and your partner, so you get body-responsive support from head to toe with minimal motion transfer.

Hand Teased Fillings What it is: Vispring's traditional craft of gently separating natural fibres by hand rather than machine-processing them. How it helps you sleep: This gives the fillings an opulent, even feel and allows air to move freely through them, helping the mattress breathe throughout the night.

Dual Natural Cotton & British Wool Layers What it is: Two upholstery layers - soft, durable cotton and 100% Platinum Certified British Fleece Wool, sustainably sourced and approved by the British Wool Marketing Board. How it helps you sleep: The wool provides natural, hypoallergenic insulation that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, while the cotton adds a supportive, gentle feel. Both are naturally moisture-wicking.

Tape Edging What it is: A skilled hand-finishing technique used by Vispring craftsmen to close the mattress panel and border with meticulous care. How it helps you sleep: Creates a smooth, strong edge finish that holds its shape and adds edge support, so you get consistent comfort right to the sides of the mattress.

2 Rows of Genuine Hand Side Stitching What it is: Traditional hand-stitching carried out by senior upholsterers using long needles and 100% natural twine, securing the outer springs to the border top and bottom. How it helps you sleep: Prevents the springs from distorting and extends the usable sleeping area right to the edge of the bed, so you can sleep across the full width without roll-off.

Hand-Tufted with Felt Washers What it is: A traditional upholstery method where fillings are secured by hand with tufts running from the top of the mattress to the bottom, using felt washers to protect the fillings. How it helps you sleep: Keeps fillings evenly distributed and prevents them from bunching or shifting, so the mattress maintains a consistent, comfortable surface for years.

M-Pure Treated Finest Quality Cover What it is: A 100% Viscose cover treated with M-Pure, a fully sustainable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly natural fire retardant, used instead of chemical treatments. How it helps you sleep: Gives you a fresh, hygienic sleeping surface using natural ingredients rather than synthetic chemical retardants.

Flag-Stitched Handles What it is: Handles sewn onto all sides of the mattress using a flag-stitch method for durability. How it helps you sleep: Makes it easy to reposition and rotate the mattress for its regular seasonal turn, helping maintain even wear.

Chrome Air Vents What it is: Chrome-finished ventilation eyelets set into the sides of the mattress. How it helps you sleep: Promotes continuous air circulation through the mattress, helping regulate temperature and keep the mattress fresh.

How it Compares

Vs firmer mattresses: The Vispring Elite's hand-nested pocket springs and choice of tension mean you can select a genuinely firm, minimal-sink feel without moving to a different construction. If you want the specific support of a firmer tension, choosing Firm or Extra Firm within this range gives you that, while keeping the same natural wool and cotton fillings and craftsmanship throughout.

Vs softer mattresses: Choosing the Soft tension within the Elite range gives a genuinely plush, pressure-relieving feel while retaining the structural support of hand-nested pocket springs underneath. Fully foam mattresses can feel immediately soft but tend to lose their shape faster than a traditionally sprung and hand-tufted construction like this one.

Vs premium and luxury mattresses: The Elite shares Vispring's core craftsmanship with its higher-tier ranges - hand-nested pocket springs, natural wool and cotton fillings, hand tufting and genuine hand side stitching. The difference in higher-priced Vispring ranges is typically in the depth and number of natural fillings layered above the springs, rather than any compromise in the quality of construction here.

30 Year Guarantee

The Vispring Elite is backed by Vispring's 30-year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. Given the quality of the hand-nested pocket springs, natural fillings and traditional hand craftsmanship, this is a mattress built to be a long-term investment - the guarantee reflects that.
