A handcrafted natural fillings pocket sprung mattress with mohair, silk, horsehair and wool comfort layers, hand tufted with felt washers and available in four tensions, made by Vispring since 1901.

Suits every sleeper type - pick your ideal tension

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 - cushions shoulders and hips to relieve pressure points and keep your spine aligned
• Lightweight sleepers - the softer feel allows the natural fillings to contour properly to your body
• People with pressure point pain - hand teased mohair, silk and wool layers reduce pressure on hips, shoulders and joints
• Couples - independently moving pocket springs absorb movement and reduce partner disturbance
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Front sleepers - hips may sink too far into the mattress
• Heavier sleepers - may not provide enough support
• Sleepers who prefer a firm 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 natural curve of your spine
• Front sleepers - firm enough to help prevent hips from sinking too far
• Combination sleepers - responsive Hand Nested Pocket Springs adapt as you move
• Couples - pocket springs move independently to reduce partner disturbance
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Sleepers who prefer a very soft feel
• Heavier sleepers who may benefit from a firmer mattress

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
• Heavier sleepers - provides the support needed for proper spinal alignment
• People who prefer a firm, supportive feel
• Sleepers over 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers who need 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 - extra support and durability, with the highest weight allowance in the range
• People who prefer a very firm mattress
• Sleepers up to 158kg (25st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers
• Lightweight sleepers
• Sleepers who prefer a cushioned or softer feel

Note: sleeper types listed above match those in Features You'll Love bullet 2 and are grouped under "Suits every sleeper type - pick your ideal tension" since the range spans four tensions.

Inside This Mattress

Vispring Hand Nested Pocket Springs
What it is: 2,520 springs made from finest Vanadium steel, hand-nested by Vispring craftsmen in a honeycomb pattern across two layers, each enclosed in its own natural cotton calico pocket.
How it helps you sleep: Every spring moves independently, sensing the weight, pressure and contours of you and your partner, so you get precise, body-responsive support with minimal motion transfer.

Hand Teased Fillings
What it is: Vispring's traditional craft of gently separating natural fibres by hand to enhance their inherent qualities and ensure even distribution throughout the mattress.
How it helps you sleep: Creates an opulent, resilient feel and allows air to move freely through the fillings, helping the mattress breathe for a healthier, more comfortable night's sleep.

Mohair Layer
What it is: A luxury fibre from Angora goats, long regarded as one of the most luxurious bed fillings for its softness, durability and insulating properties.
How it helps you sleep: Keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer through natural moisture-wicking, while its exquisite softness adds a genuinely indulgent feel.

Silk Layer
What it is: Fine, strong and highly absorbent silk fibres blended into a durable insulation layer inside the mattress.
How it helps you sleep: Provides a sumptuous, supportive feel and excellent temperature regulation for a naturally luxurious night's sleep.

Horsehair Layer
What it is: The longest natural fibre, taken from the mane and tail of the horse, an essential element of traditional bed making for generations.
How it helps you sleep: Acts like millions of extra springs, bouncing back after compression to help the mattress hold its shape and support you consistently, night after night.

100% Platinum Certified Real Shetland Wool and British Fleece Wool
What it is: Wool awarded the Platinum Certificate and guaranteed by the British Wool Marketing Board, sustainably sourced, cleaned without bleach or chemicals, and hypoallergenic.
How it helps you sleep: A natural insulator that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, with hygroscopic properties that help wick away body moisture for a fresher sleep surface.

Cotton Layer
What it is: A soft, durable cotton layer with responsive properties that complements the spring unit beneath it.
How it helps you sleep: Enhances breathability and adds a comfortable feel, working alongside the wool and horsehair layers to regulate temperature.

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 edge finish that holds its shape and supports the sleeping surface right to the sides.

4 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 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 mattress, so you get full use of the surface without roll-off.

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

M-Pure Treated Finest Quality Cover
What it is: A finest quality cover in Tick 590, 100% Viscose, treated with M-Pure, a 100% sustainable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly natural fire retardant.
How it helps you sleep: Provides a fresh, hygienic sleeping surface using natural ingredients rather than chemical retardants, for a safer and more comfortable night's sleep.

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 moving, positioning and turning the mattress straightforward, helping you maintain it properly for lasting comfort.

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, regulating temperature and keeping the sleep surface fresh.

Specification

Dimensions & Weights

All dimensions are approximate, subject to a tolerance of +/- 2cm. Weights are based on a medium tension; weight will vary slightly by tension chosen.

How it Compares

Vs firmer mattresses: A Soft or Medium Sublime Superb gives noticeably more pressure relief through its hand teased mohair, silk and wool layers, which cushion the shoulders and hips. If you sleep on your side or share a bed, one of the softer tensions is likely the better choice. Firmer tensions in this same range suit heavier sleepers or those who prefer a more rigid, supportive surface, without needing to change mattress ranges.

Vs softer mattresses: Choosing Firm or Extra Firm within the Sublime Superb range gives you more structural support beneath the natural comfort layers, while still benefiting from the same handcrafted construction. Softer mattresses elsewhere can feel more immediately plush but may not maintain spinal alignment as consistently for combination sleepers, couples with different body weights, or heavier sleepers.

Vs premium and luxury mattresses: The Sublime Superb shares the same Hand Nested Pocket Spring technology, hand tufting and genuine hand side stitching found across Vispring's higher-tiered ranges. The difference is typically in the depth and number of natural filling layers, rather than any compromise in construction quality or craftsmanship.

30 Year Guarantee

The Sublime Superb is backed by Vispring's free 30-year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. Given the quality of the Hand Nested Pocket Springs, the depth of natural fillings and the handcrafted construction, this is a mattress built to last a lifetime - the guarantee reflects that.
