So of course we were intrigued to learn a bit more about Vispring mattresses, particularly when one of ABC’s own told us her night spent on one was “life changing.” As we sink into a Vispring mattress it’s suddenly clear that this is what we’ve been missing in our lives. The bed is unbelievably comfortable and we haven’t even fallen asleep yet. With a little investigation we learn why this mattress feels other worldly. Vispring mattresses are meticulously constructed lifelong investments. They’re about as luxurious of a creation imaginable – from make to materials, no detail is overlooked.
Vispring’s headquarters are in Plymouth, England, and have been in operation for over 100 years. As the pioneers of the pocket spring, they’re a manufacturer that stands apart by building every single mattress to order by highly trained skilled craftspeople. These individuals even set the spring tension and finish each mattress by hand. It’s a completely artisanal process you won’t find any assembly lines at Vispring HQ! The attention to detail doesn’t stop with the assembly process, each of the materials used in Vispring mattress are the most luxurious sleep ingredients imaginable. such as Shetland Isle wool, cashmere, horsetail, and raw silk. The Vispring mattresses contain platinum certified British wool (Britain’s unique, often temperamental climate makes wool from these isles uniquely soft and strong, and Vispring is the only bed manufacturer to use pure British fleece wool in their products). This means no synthetics, ever, plus there’s generally 50% more upholstery in a Vispring bed than its conventional counterpart.
The natural fabrics certainly makes these mattresses comfortable, but it also allows them to circulate air more efficiently while naturally repelling allergens. The lack of chemicals and glues means an environmentally sound final product (fully biodegradable, grounded on FSC-certified wood frames) which is good news for everyone. And yes, all sleepers are catered to: The coil systems in the Vispring collection are remarkably sophisticated, featuring miles of Vanadium steel tightly wound to facilitate various levels of support. We like a firmer mattress, but frankly, we won’t be picky when it comes to Vispring. This is one luxury that’s now become a necessity.

It’s where you spend the most time with your partner, and where you first bond with your children. Hundreds of thousands of people are injured by them each year. In short, there aren’t many things in your home more important than your bed. Which makes it all the stranger that most of us give them so little thought. For many, a mattress comes a long way down the list of domestic priorities. But it has been estimated that a quarter of the British population suffers from sleep disruption, and often a bad mattress is at the root of this problem. The wrong sort of sleep can also cause cricked necks and bad backs – not to mention domestic tension. David Villaverde knows this better than most. As a furniture specialist at John Lewis on Oxford Street in central London, he spends his days showing people how to get a good night’s sleep. As I sprawl out over his show beds in the middle of the day, he takes me through the bed basics. “The first thing I tell people is to slow down,” he explains.
“Most want to get it over with in five minutes. It’s such an important item – you might as well take the time to get it right.” David says that you should spend around 45 minutes choosing, and lie on each mattress you’re interested in for at least 10 minutes. First I try the glossy newcomer to the market, the Tempur mattress. I say “newcomer”, but it’s a relative term for a product that has been around for 20 years. The beds world, you may not be surprised to hear, is a relatively slow-moving industry. The Tempur mattress is made from “memory foam”, derived from a material initially developed by Nasa to cushion astronauts against extreme g-forces. They have become hot property in the past few years. It’s easy to see why. As I lie on it, each bit of my body is absorbed and supported just as much as it needs to be. If you are used to a firmer mattress, you might find it a bit too squishy, but I think it’s great. It’s like lying on an enormous marshmallow. Next up are two more traditional models.
Jensen, the Norwegian company, is widely seen as the market leader in pocket-sprung mattresses. This is the classic design, in which the stuffing is held in place by togs. I test an “Ophelia” model. I ask if the name means that purchasers sleep in it alone and cry a lot. David doesn’t think so, and as I lie on this two metre-wide monster of comfort, I’m rather inclined to agree with him. In the middle of the department store, I have a sudden sensation of being in a five-star hotel. A Jensen bed comes in three parts – the base unit, the mattress and the topper. They work together to provide the right resistance. The mattresses are “zoned” so that they’re firmer in some parts than others. “Your bottom and your shoulders stick out more than other parts of your body,” says David. If your partner prefers a firmer mattress, or is much heavier than you are, you can even have different levels of tension on your respective sides of the bed. The final bed I test is from the hand-sprung Vi-Spring range, “the Rolls-Royce of mattresses”, as David explains.
This venerable British brand, founded in 1901, is the leading “hand-sprung” model. These mattresses are hand made, and filled with a mixture of lamb’s wool, silk and mohair (the Jensen uses a blend of natural and man-made fibres). This makes the mattress more breathable. “People sweat on average between half a pint and a pint while they sleep,” explains David. Like good sportswear, a mattress must be breathable, to let out all that excess body heat. Poor breathability is often the cause of heat itches, which can seriously disrupt sleep. I certainly don’t think I’d be disrupted on this particular bed. I feel as if I should be eating grapes, and ordering soldiers into battle far away. None of this technology, care and quality comes cheap. A top-of-the-range Jensen will set you back almost as much as a small car. Unless you’re a serious art collector, or have a loo seat made out of gold, your bed can easily be the most expensive thing you own. “It’s an investment,” says David.
“And though they’re all covered by warranties, I’d say 99 per cent of the people who take the time to buy one of these beds are satisfied.” Compared with the tetanus-threatening, mite-ridden, prison-style bunk I usually make do with, all of these beds seemed excellent. I understood Heidi’s joy when she goes to Frankfurt and learns that it’s possible to have more than one pillow. I could have slept the day away on any of them. But forced to choose, I’d go for a Vi-Spring. British beds for weary British heads. The Tempur original, without a frame, starts at £1,500 for a double and goes up to £2,175 for a king-size “Sensation” Prices for a Vi-Spring go from £1,000 for a mattress up to £5,000 for a set Jensen mattresses start at £1,950 and go up to £4,050 for an Ophelia bed and mattress set Five tips for choosing a new bed 1 Take your time You’re going to spend many hours sleeping on your new mattress, so make sure it feels comfortable. 2 Think about long-term value £100 spent on a mattress is just 2.7p a night spread over 10 years.
