Who Is This Mattress For?

A luxury handcrafted pocket sprung mattress from Vispring, filled with natural horsehair and British wool, available in a choice of four tensions from soft to extra firm, with effective temperature regulation and minimal partner disturbance.

Vispring's Kingsbridge is available in four tensions, so you can choose the feel that's right for you and your sleeping position.

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 horsehair and wool comfort layers cushion shoulders and hips to relieve pressure points
• Lightweight sleepers - the softer feel allows the mattress to contour closely to your body
• Those who prefer a plush, sink-in feel
• Couples - hand nested pocket springs work independently to reduce partner disturbance
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Front sleepers - hips may sink too far into the mattress for proper support
• Heavier sleepers - may benefit from a firmer tension for adequate support

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 sinking too far
• Combination sleepers - hand nested pocket springs respond independently as you move
• Couples - springs work independently for minimal partner disturbance
• 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 tension

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 well supported
• Heavier sleepers - provides the support needed for proper spinal alignment
• Couples - firm, independent spring support with minimal 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 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 - our highest weight capacity, with extra support and durability
• Those who prefer a very firm mattress
• Orthopaedic support
• Sleepers up to 158kg (25st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers
• Lightweight sleepers who prefer a cushioned, softer feel

Inside This Mattress

2,030 Hand Nested Pocket Springs
What it is: Vispring's own springs, made from finest Vanadium steel and hand-nested by craftsmen in a honeycomb pattern across two layers. Each spring is enclosed in a natural cotton calico pocket.
How it helps you sleep: The springs work independently, gently supporting you from head to toe and sensing the weight, pressure and contours of both you and your partner for a more restful night.

Hand Teased Fillings
What it is: A traditional Vispring craft where natural fibres are gently separated by hand to enhance their inherent qualities and ensure even distribution.
How it helps you sleep: Creates an opulent feel with enhanced resilience and loft, allowing air to move freely so the mattress breathes for a healthier, more comfortable sleep.

1375gsm Horsehair Layer
What it is: The longest natural fibre, horsehair from the mane and tail of the horse has been used in quality bed making for generations.
How it helps you sleep: Acts like millions of extra springs, bouncing back after compression to restore the mattress's shape and maintain consistent comfort and support throughout the night.

Platinum Certified British & Devonshire Wool Layers
What it is: Carefully selected natural wool layers, including 300gsm of British fleece wool, 380gsm of Platinum Certified Devonshire wool, and a further 300gsm layer of British fleece wool - sustainably sourced and approved by the British Wool Marketing Board.
How it helps you sleep: Naturally hypoallergenic and insulating, these wools regulate temperature by keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, while wicking away moisture for a fresher night's sleep.

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 beautifully smooth, strong mattress edge that maintains its shape and provides reliable support for a more comfortable sleep.

3 Rows of Genuine Hand Side Stitching
What it is: Traditional hand-side stitching, carried out by senior upholsterers using long needles and 100% natural twine, securing the outer springs to the border at the top and bottom.
How it helps you sleep: Prevents the springs from distorting and extends the sleeping area right to the edge of the bed, strengthening the borders for consistent support.

Hand-Tufted with Felt Washers
What it is: The traditional method of mattress upholstery where fillings are secured by hand with tufts from the top of the mattress to the bottom, using felt washers to protect the fillings.
How it helps you sleep: Keeps all loose fillings evenly distributed and firmly in place, preventing lumps and maintaining consistent comfort over the long term.

M-Pure Treated Finest Quality Cover
What it is: A pure and natural fire retardant applied to the cover, 100% sustainable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly, used instead of traditional chemical-based retardants. The cover itself is Tick 596 Devonshire - 62% Viscose, 38% Wool.
How it helps you sleep: Gives you a fresh, hygienic sleeping surface using natural ingredients instead of synthetic chemicals, for a safer, healthier sleep environment.

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 turn the mattress regularly, helping you maintain it properly for long-lasting comfort.

Chrome Air Vents
What it is: Chrome-finished ventilation eyelets set into the sides of the mattress to allow airflow.
How it helps you sleep: Promotes continuous air circulation through the mattress, regulating temperature and keeping the sleep surface fresh and dry.

How It Compares

Vs firmer mattresses: Choosing the Soft or Medium Kingsbridge over a firmer option gives noticeably more pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, thanks to the horsehair and wool comfort layers sitting above the hand nested springs. If you sleep on your side or share a bed, these tensions are likely the better choice. The Firm and Extra Firm Kingsbridge suit heavier sleepers or those who want a more rigid, supportive surface without losing any of the handcrafted quality.

Vs softer mattresses: The Kingsbridge's two-layer, 2,030 hand nested pocket spring system gives more structural support underneath the comfort layers than typical softer mattresses. Softer options can feel immediately plush, but may not maintain spinal alignment as consistently over time - especially for combination sleepers or couples with different body weights.

Vs premium and luxury mattresses: The Kingsbridge shares the same hand nested pocket spring technology, natural fillings and handcrafted construction found in Vispring's higher-priced ranges. The difference is typically in the depth and density of the comfort layers rather than any compromise in quality or craftsmanship - this is genuine Vispring luxury at an accessible entry point into the brand.

30 Year Guarantee

The Vispring Kingsbridge is backed by Vispring's 30-year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. Given the quality of the Vanadium steel springs, natural fillings and handcrafted construction, this is a mattress built to last a lifetime - the guarantee reflects that.
