Sleep Well For Less - Last Chance
Vispring has been making beds and mattresses by hand in Britain since 1901, building every mattress around individually pocketed springs and natural fibre fillings rather than foam. At Land of Beds, we stock over 70 Vispring products, including mattresses for divans, Bedstead mattresses for bed frames, divan beds, bed bases, upholstered headboards, and natural fibre toppers, pillows, and duvets. Vispring mattresses carry a 30-year manufacturer's guarantee, and most beds and mattresses are made to order in your chosen size and tension. With over 50 years of experience, free mainland UK delivery on orders over £100, finance on eligible orders, and expert advice seven days a week, we can help you put together the right Vispring setup for your bedroom.

Buying a Vispring is usually a considered decision. It is a significant investment, it is made to order, and the choices you make when ordering, particularly tension and base, shape how it feels for years afterwards. That is why it pays to understand the range before you commit. At Land of Beds, we have been helping customers choose beds and mattresses for over 50 years, and we would rather you buy the right Vispring than the most expensive one.
Three decisions shape whether a Vispring setup is right for you. Get these right and the rest, from fabric colour to headboard style, is straightforward.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Base compatibility | Vispring makes two types of mattress: standard models designed to sit on a divan or bed base, and Bedstead models designed for slatted bed frames. Matching the mattress to the base you will use affects support and feel. | Whether you are keeping an existing bed frame, buying a complete Vispring divan, or replacing just the base |
| Tension | Vispring mattresses are made to order in soft, medium, firm, or extra firm. Because each one is built for you, the tension you choose is the tension you get. | Your sleeping position, body weight, and whether you share the bed. Speak to our team before ordering if you are unsure. |
| Budget and specification | Prices rise with spring count and with the depth and type of natural fibre filling. Entry-level models still use the same hand-nested springs and natural fillings as the rest of the range. | Listed spring counts in our range run from 1,254 to 2,520. Decide what you want to spend first, then compare models within that range. |

Vispring beds and mattresses are made to standard UK sizes. Your mattress size must match your base or bed frame exactly.
| Size | Mattress Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single (3ft) | 90 x 190cm | Solo adults, guest rooms |
| Small Double (4ft) | 120 x 190cm | Solo sleepers who want more space |
| Double (4ft 6) | 135 x 190cm | Couples in smaller bedrooms, guest rooms |
| King Size (5ft) | 150 x 200cm | Couples who want extra width and length |
| Super King (6ft) | 180 x 200cm | Couples who want more space, larger main bedrooms |
| Emperor (6ft 6) | 200 x 200cm | Very large bedrooms. Available on Vispring mattresses and headboards; check individual listings for bases. |
If you choose a divan with drawers, make sure there is enough floor space beside the bed for the drawers to open fully. If you share a bed and prefer different tensions, zip and link versions are available to order as standard.
See our UK Bed Sizes Guide for room-by-room measuring advice.

In our showrooms, most Vispring customers arrive asking which model to buy. In our experience, settling the tension and the base first makes the model decision much simpler, and many customers find the right fit well below the top of the range.
If you are choosing a Vispring divan, the base can also give you storage. Here is how the options compare.
| Storage Type | Pros | Things to Consider |
|---|---|---|
| Ottoman base | The largest under-bed storage area, no drawer clearance needed | The mattress lifts with the base. Check the listing for opening direction and whether it suits your room layout. |
| Side drawers | Easy everyday access, no lifting, available as two or four drawer options | Needs clear floor space beside the bed for drawers to open fully. |
| No storage | Clean look, choice of a firmer platform top or a True Edge pocket sprung base | Consider under-bed baskets or boxes if you need extra space. |
Drawers need room to open, and that is easy to overlook when measuring. In a tighter bedroom, an ottoman base is often the more practical choice because it lifts up rather than pulling out.
Vispring's construction is what you are paying for, so it helps to know what goes into it. Every Vispring mattress is made without foam.
| Material | Performance and Maintenance | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Vanadium steel pocket springs | Each spring sits in its own pocket and moves independently. Vanadium steel is chosen for its resilience over many years of use. Follow the care guidance supplied with your mattress for turning and rotating. | Every Vispring mattress and sprung base |
| British fleece wool | Breathable, temperature-regulating, and naturally moisture-wicking. A core comfort layer across the mattress range. | Sleepers who tend to run warm or cold |
| Shetland wool | A finer, more resilient wool used in mid and upper-range models. | Customers wanting a more refined comfort layer |
| Horsehair | Springy and resilient. Adds loft and helps the filling recover its shape over time. | Customers who prefer a responsive feel |
| Silk, cashmere, and vicuña | Fine natural fibres used in the upper layers of higher-specification models, with vicuña reserved for selected top models. | Customers prioritising feel at the top of the range |
| Upholstery fabric | Used on divan bases, bed bases, and headboards, with a wide choice of colours and textures. Follow the fabric care guidance on the listing. | Matching your bed to your bedroom |

Vispring is a premium brand at every level, but the range covers a wide spread of prices. Prices change with offers, so check individual listings for current figures.
| Budget | What You Get | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Under £1,500 | Entry-level Vispring mattresses and Bedstead mattresses from under £1,250, upholstered headboards from under £1,000, plus toppers, pillows, duvets, and protectors | First-time Vispring buyers, mattress-only upgrades, Vispring bedding |
| £1,500 to £4,999 | Mid and upper-range mattresses with higher spring counts and deeper natural fillings, ottoman bases, and entry-level divan beds from under £2,300 | Main bedroom buyers wanting a complete bed or a step up in specification |
| £5,000 and above | The highest-specification mattresses in our range, with up to 2,520 listed springs, and premium divan beds | Long-term investment in a master bedroom |
Spending more buys more springs and more natural filling, not a different standard of build. Every Vispring mattress follows the same core approach, so the real question is how much comfort layer you want above the springs.
Mike Murray, Land of Beds CEO: "Most people who come to us for a Vispring have already decided on the brand. The decisions that make the biggest difference are tension and base. We always talk those through before anyone orders, because a Vispring is made for you and you want it right first time."
Looking for Vispring at a lower price? Vispring bedding starts from under £110, and our clearance section regularly includes ex-showroom Vispring beds and mattresses at reduced prices.
Our Price Promise Guarantee means you won't pay more than you should. Finance is available on eligible orders, including interest-free options on selected terms.
Not sure whether to choose a complete Vispring divan or put a Vispring mattress on a bed frame? Here is a plain comparison.
| Vispring Divan Set | Bedstead Mattress on a Bed Frame | |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Vispring platform top or True Edge pocket sprung base, made to pair with the mattress | A slatted bed frame or bedstead of your choice |
| Mattress type | Standard Vispring mattress | Vispring Bedstead mattress |
| Look | Upholstered base in your chosen fabric, usually paired with a Vispring headboard | Visible frame and legs; style depends on the frame |
| Storage | Drawer and ottoman options on selected bases | Depends on the frame |
| Best for | Customers who want a complete Vispring bed | Customers who want to keep a frame they love, or prefer a frame style |
Neither is better in every case. It depends on whether you want a complete matched bed or a frame with a particular look. If you use a slatted frame, a Vispring bedstead mattress pad is designed to sit between the slats and the mattress. Read our full comparison: Divan Bed or Bed Frame: Which Is Right for You?

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the best Vispring mattress? | There is no single best model. The right Vispring depends on your tension, your base, and your budget. If you have a divan or bed base, choose a standard Vispring mattress. If you have a slatted bed frame, choose a Bedstead model. Higher-priced models add more springs and deeper natural fillings, but entry-level models use the same core construction and carry the same 30-year guarantee. |
| Did Vispring invent the pocket spring? | The pocketed spring mattress was created in 1899 by James Marshall, a British engineer working in Canada. In 1901, John Nolan and Frederick James set up the Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company in London to make his design in Britain, and that company became Vispring. Vispring introduced its first pocket-sprung divan in 1932 and now makes its beds in Plymouth. |
| Will a Vispring mattress fit my existing bed? | Vispring mattresses are made to standard UK sizes, so the size will match a standard UK bed. The more important question is the base. Standard Vispring mattresses are designed for divans and bed bases, while Bedstead models are designed for slatted frames. If you're not sure which you have, call our team before ordering. |
| Are Vispring divans with storage worth it? | If you're short on bedroom storage, yes. Drawer bases give easy everyday access, and an ottoman base offers the largest storage area without needing space for drawers to open. If storage isn't a priority, a non-storage base gives you a choice of a firmer platform top or a sprung base. |
| How long does a Vispring mattress last? | Vispring mattresses carry a 30-year manufacturer's guarantee, which reflects how long they are designed to last with proper care on a suitable base. Bases, headboards, and bedding have shorter guarantees that vary by product, so check each listing. Following the care guidance supplied with your mattress helps it keep its shape. |
| What size Vispring should I choose? | Choose the size that matches your base or frame and fits your room. Vispring mattresses are available from single to emperor, and headboards are also available in emperor. Check individual listings for base sizes. Our UK Bed Sizes Guide has room-by-room measuring advice. |
| Does a Vispring divan bed come with a headboard? | Usually not. Vispring headboards are typically sold separately so you can choose the design, fabric, and fixing that suits your bed. Some clearance and ex-showroom sets include a headboard, so always check the listing. |
| Does a Vispring bed need assembly? | Assembly is available on Vispring divan beds, so you don't need to put the bed together yourself. It isn't available on Vispring mattresses or headboards bought on their own. See our bed assembly service page for details. |
| Can I try Vispring before I buy? | Yes. Vispring beds and mattresses are on display at both our Cheshire and Greater Manchester showrooms, so you can try different models and tensions in person. Our team can also talk you through base and size options while you're there. |
| Do you offer free delivery on Vispring? | Yes. Delivery is free on orders over £100 to most mainland UK postcodes. Some further-out postcodes may incur a charge. Most Vispring beds and mattresses are made to order, so lead times are longer than for stock items. Each listing shows the current estimate. |
| Can I buy Vispring on finance? | Yes. Finance is available on eligible orders, including interest-free options on selected terms. See our finance page for eligibility and how to apply. |
| Where are Vispring beds made? | Vispring makes its beds and mattresses to order at its workshop in Plymouth, in the south west of England. |
