Vispring Mattresses

Who are Vispring?

Established in 1901, Vispring are the original creator of the pocket spring mattress, a design that revolutionised comfort and support in luxury bedding. Their heritage of innovation and craftsmanship has made them one of the world’s most prestigious sleep brands.

Initially producing bespoke mattresses for the elite, Vispring’s reputation grew rapidly, supplying the world’s finest hotels and even the luxury ocean liners RMS Titanic and Olympic. Today, their expert team of craftsmen and women continues to handmake every mattress in Plymouth, England, ensuring every stitch and spring meets the brand’s uncompromising standards.

What makes a Vispring mattress special?

A Vispring mattress is the pinnacle of British mattress design. Each is handcrafted to order, combining natural fillings and individually nested pocket springs for personalised support and exceptional comfort.

Key features include:

• Natural materials only – wool, cashmere, silk, cotton, horsetail, and mohair

• Hand-nested Vanadium steel pocket springs for perfect body alignment

• Glue-free, chemical-free, and 100% biodegradable design

• Hand side-stitching for structure and durability

• 30-year guarantee for long-term peace of mind

Every mattress is built to last, a testament to Vispring’s commitment to sustainability and quality.

The origin of the pocket spring

Vispring was the first company to bring pocket spring technology to the UK. Inspired by Canadian engineer James Marshall’s 1899 invention, founders John Nolon and Frederick James developed the design into a commercial success, transforming how people sleep.

Their pocket springs, made in-house from Vanadium steel, are crafted with six turns each, ensuring long-lasting resilience and responsive support. Each spring is encased in a breathable cotton calico pocket and arranged in a honeycomb formation, allowing the mattress to contour precisely to your body.

What is inside a Vispring mattress?

Every Vispring mattress contains only natural, sustainable fillings, chosen for their superior comfort and breathability. Common materials include:

• British Wool – temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking

• Horsetail Hair – resilient and breathable for springy comfort

• Silk & Cashmere – soft, luxurious fibres for a plush feel

• Cotton & Mohair – natural cooling and support

These fibres are hand-teased and layered to create Vispring’s signature “floating” comfort, completely free from foam, latex, or synthetic substitutes. Shop our full range of Natural Mattresses for even more mattresses that feature these gorgeous materials.

How long does a Vispring mattress last?

A Vispring mattress is made to last a lifetime. The combination of high-quality materials, hand side-stitching, and durable Vanadium steel springs ensures long-term structural integrity. Each mattress is backed by an impressive 30-year guarantee, offering unrivalled reassurance of quality.

Are Vispring mattresses sustainable?

Sustainability lies at the core of Vispring’s ethos. Every mattress is 100% recyclable and made entirely from renewable, biodegradable materials. Their glue-free pocket spring system means components can be separated and reused at the end of the mattress’s life.

Vispring also partners directly with British farmers, supporting local wool and fibre production. This ensures shorter supply chains, reduced emissions, and consistent material quality.

When your old mattress reaches its end, you can recycle it responsibly with our Mattress Recycling Service.
