Vispring Mattress Reviews (2026)

Elite: Choose Elite if you sleep mostly on your back, change positions often, or simply dislike sinking into a mattress. Its firm, responsive surface kept the hips well supported and released heat quickly. Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders should move up to a more cushioned model.

Devonshire: Devonshire is the better starting point for side sleepers. Its wool upholstery softens the initial contact without creating the slow, body-hugging feel of memory foam. The tradeoff is a more compressible perimeter and a less taut surface than Elite.

Regal Superb: Regal Superb is the strongest all-around pick for combination sleepers. It cushions the shoulders and hips, rebounds quickly when you turn, and feels more secure near the edge than Devonshire. The higher cost only makes sense if you value that broader mix of comfort and support.

Masterpiece Superb: Masterpiece Superb offers the deepest cushioning and the most layered support in this group. It suits pressure-sensitive side sleepers and couples who prioritize a plush, substantial surface. Some spring motion still travels, however, so couples who wake easily when a partner moves should not choose it for motion isolation alone.

Spring counts are based on the 150 × 200 cm size, and the listed height allows for a manufacturer tolerance of about 2 cm. Tension choices, sizes, model availability, and final prices vary by region and retailer, so compare the exact showroom configuration rather than relying on the model name alone.

Each mattress was used on the back, side, and in mixed positions, with attention to lumbar support, hip alignment, shoulder pressure, and ease of turning. The supplied configurations were also checked with the same repeatable comparisons: a 15-pound ball dropped from 12 inches to gauge motion at a point 24 inches away, a 30-minute surface-temperature reading, timed rebound after removing a load, and seated compression measured 2 inches from the edge. Support, pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability were scored on a 5-point scale. Because Vispring offers several spring tensions, the feel results apply to the configurations evaluated rather than every version of each model.

Our Testing Experience

Elite felt the firmest and most straightforward of the four, landing near 7 out of 10 on our firmness scale. On the back, the springs held the hips level while the wool-and-cotton surface filled the space under the lower back. Turning required little effort because the top never developed a deep impression. On the side, though, the shoulder reached firmer resistance sooner than it did on the other models.

The same character showed up in the bench checks. The surface returned to roughly 90% of its height in about 0.6 seconds after the load was removed, and its temperature rose only 2.6°F after 30 minutes. In the ball-drop test, detectable vibration lasted about 1.3 seconds, so a light sleeper may still notice a partner's movement. Edge compression measured 2.1 inches, compared with 1.7 inches at the center under the same load: stable enough for sitting, but not reinforced to feel rigid.

What we liked

• Direct, steady support through the hips and lower back
• A breathable surface that released heat quickly
• Fast rebound that made position changes easy

Who it is best for

• Back sleepers who want a firmer, flatter surface
• Combination sleepers who move often
• People who dislike a deep cradle

Where it falls short

• Shoulder pressure builds sooner during side sleeping
• Spring motion remains noticeable to light sleepers
• The edge is supportive but not especially firm

Our Testing Experience

Devonshire felt closer to 5.5 out of 10, with noticeably more give at first contact than Elite. The wool compressed under the shoulder before the springs took over, which kept side sleeping comfortable for longer stretches. Back sleeping still felt supported, although the surface allowed a little more hip sink and did not feel as taut.

Under the same side-sleeping load, shoulder sink reached about 1.9 inches, roughly half an inch more than on Elite. The surface temperature rose 3.0°F after 30 minutes, still a strong result for a more cushioned mattress. Vibration from the ball drop faded in about 1.1 seconds, and the surface recovered to 90% of its height in 0.8 seconds. At the edge, 2.5 inches of compression matched the softer seated feel we noticed in use.

What we liked

• More shoulder and hip cushioning than Elite
• A soft wool feel without memory-foam drag
• Good airflow for a deeper comfort layer

Who it is best for

• Side sleepers who need more surface give
• Light- to average-weight sleepers
• People who want plushness while keeping a springy feel

Where it falls short

• The perimeter compresses more when sitting
• Firm-surface shoppers may find the top too relaxed
• Rebound is slower than on Regal Superb

Pros & Cons

Details

Our Testing Experience

Regal Superb landed near 6 out of 10 for firmness and gave us the most even mix of contouring and lift. The shoulder and hip settled into the wool-and-horsetail upholstery, but the midsection stayed level and position changes remained smooth. It felt softer than Elite, quicker than Devonshire, and easier to recommend across different sleep positions than Masterpiece Superb.

Shoulder and hip sink measured about 1.7 and 1.5 inches under our comparison load, enough to relieve pressure without creating a pronounced cradle. Rebound to 90% took about 0.5 seconds, the fastest result in the group. The 30-minute temperature increase was 2.4°F, while ball-drop vibration faded in roughly 0.9 seconds. Edge compression measured 1.9 inches, giving Regal Superb a more secure perimeter than Devonshire.

What we liked

• Balanced cushioning and midsection support
• Fast rebound with consistent airflow
• A more usable edge than the softer entry model

Who it is best for

• Combination sleepers who rotate between back and side
• Side sleepers who want pressure relief without deep sink
• Shoppers seeking the most versatile feel in this group

Where it falls short

• The price rises sharply from the entry models
• Its taller profile may require deeper sheets
• Light sleepers can still detect some spring movement

Pros & Cons

Details

• Spring construction: single layer of hand-nested calico pocket springs
• Spring count (150 × 200 cm): 1,720
• Available tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm
• Upholstery: British fleece wool and cotton, South American horsetail with British fleece wool, Shetland wool and cotton
• Height: 23 cm / 9.1 in + 6 cm / 2.4 in doming (±2 cm / 0.8 in)
• Guarantee: 30 years

Our Testing Experience

Masterpiece Superb felt close to 5 out of 10 at the surface, but its support became firmer with depth. The top accepted the shoulder and hip more readily than the other mattresses, then the three spring layers slowed the descent. That progressive feel worked especially well during long side-sleeping stretches and still kept the lower back comfortable. It was also clearly the tallest and heaviest mattress to handle.

Shoulder and hip sink measured about 2.2 and 1.9 inches, the deepest figures in the group. Even with that cushioning, the surface recovered to 90% in about 0.7 seconds. Heat rose 2.7°F after 30 minutes, and ball-drop vibration faded in approximately 0.8 seconds. Edge compression was 1.8 inches, making more of the mattress width feel usable, although the lively spring system did not eliminate partner disturbance.

What we liked

• The strongest pressure relief without a slow foam feel
• Progressive support that works across back and side sleeping
• A secure edge despite the plush surface

Who it is best for

• Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders or hips
• Couples who want a broad, cushioned sleep surface
• Buyers who value material depth over price efficiency

Where it falls short

• Its height and weight make setup more demanding
• Firm-surface shoppers may find the top too plush
• The cost is difficult to justify on performance alone

Pros & Cons

Details

• Spring construction: three layers of hand-nested calico pocket springs
• Spring count (150 × 200 cm): 3,162
• Available tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm
• Upholstery: Shetland wool and organic cotton, Austrian horsetail, plus Shetland wool blended with cashmere, alpaca, and silk
• Depth: 25 cm / 9.8 in + 6 cm / 2.4 in doming (±2 cm / 0.8 in)
• Guarantee: 30 years

Review Score

Regal Superb produced the most even results across the categories that shape nightly comfort. Masterpiece Superb led on pressure relief and build quality, but its small scoring advantage does not make it the better value for most sleepers.

Start with your main sleep position and the amount of surface give you enjoy. Elite offers the flattest, firmest feel of these tested configurations. Devonshire adds more shoulder and hip cushioning, Regal Superb balances that cushioning with faster recovery, and Masterpiece Superb creates the deepest cradle before its lower spring layers engage.

Next, consider the exact tension, your partner's sensitivity to movement, and the finished bed height. A model ordered in Soft will not feel like the same model in Extra Firm, and a sprung divan or topper can change the result again. Try the complete setup you plan to buy, preferably with both partners present. Confirm regional sizing, availability, current price, care requirements, and guarantee terms with the retailer before ordering.

Elite

• Provides the least shoulder cushioning in this group
• Transfers more movement than the higher-scoring models
• Will not satisfy sleepers who want a deep cradle

Devonshire

• Compresses more at the seated edge
• Feels less taut than Elite or Regal Superb
• May be too yielding for firm-surface shoppers

Regal Superb

• Costs substantially more than the entry models
• Adds height without matching Masterpiece Superb's pressure relief
• Still passes some partner movement

Masterpiece Superb

• Its price is hard to defend on performance alone
• The tall, heavy build complicates setup and sheet fit
• Its plush top will not suit every back or stomach sleeper

Why choose one of these Vispring models

• Natural upholstery over responsive pocket-spring support
• Four tension choices and made-to-order sizing
• A 30-year guarantee
• Clear comfort steps from firm and simple to deeply cushioned

Alternatives to consider

Hästens: Hästens makes more sense if you want to buy a coordinated bed system rather than compare mattresses alone. Its current beds combine a top mattress, middle mattress, base, and legs, with natural fibers and multiple spring units varying by model. Some tiers overlap with higher-end Vispring configurations, while the flagship Hästens beds sit in a much higher price class.

Savoir: Savoir is the better fit when customization drives the decision. Its made-to-order mattresses span several price tiers and allow choices in size and comfort, with natural materials such as wool, cotton, cashmere, and horsetail. When comparing cost, keep mattress-only pricing separate from a complete bed set that includes a topper and base.

Shifman: Shifman is a practical alternative for U.S. shoppers who want retailer access, hand-tufted construction, and traditional two-sided models. Selected collections use cotton, wool, and cashmere, but materials and construction vary across the range. Compare a specific Shifman mattress with the exact Vispring configuration rather than treating the brands as direct equivalents.

• Choose the spring tension for the position you spend most of the night in.
• Side sleepers should confirm shoulder comfort before choosing a firmer tension.
• Test the mattress with the same type of base or divan you plan to use at home.
• Measure the complete bed height before buying sheets or a new frame.
• For couples, let the lighter or more motion-sensitive partner make the final motion check.
• Follow the retailer's rotation and care schedule to keep the natural fillings even.
