The Vispring Magnificence is the brand’s answer to sleepers who want firm support without giving up natural materials. Positioned inside the Luxe Collection, it layers real Shetland wool with Austrian Moosburger horsetail and cashmere around a two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction, and the maker calls it the ultimate in firm support. That combination of hand-built springs and all-natural upholstery is the whole reason to consider it.

What is the Vispring Magnificence, in plain terms?
The Magnificence is a natural-filled pocket spring mattress from Vispring’s Luxe Collection, built in two spring layers and upholstered exclusively with natural fillings. It is offered in four spring tensions, from Soft through to Extra Firm, and it measures 25cm of mattress depth plus about 6cm of doming, with a tolerance of plus or minus 2cm.
Three points define the product on paper:
- A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction, with vanadium steel springs made in Vispring’s Plymouth workshop.
- 2,812 springs in the 150 x 200cm size, which is the 5ft by 6ft 6in dimension.
- Fillings of real Shetland wool, cotton, Austrian Moosburger horsetail, cashmere and mohair, encased in high quality ticking.
The choice of calico for the spring casing matters to a buyer reading the specification closely. Calico is the fabric pocket that each individual spring sits inside, and the brand describes the nesting as hand-done, which means each spring is placed by hand rather than by machine. Combined with the two layer arrangement, this is the structural core of the mattress: one layer of springs stacked on another, both made from vanadium steel produced in Vispring’s own Plymouth workshop. The result, on paper, is a support system with more individual points of contact than a single-layer design, and one that the brand describes as contouring to the body.
Who should buy the Magnificence, and who should not?
Who should buy the Vispring Magnificence: a sleeper who wants a firm, naturally filled mattress with a choice of four spring tensions, hand side-stitching, and a depth of 25cm plus doming. Who should not buy it: anyone who wants a published price, a home trial, or a stated warranty before committing, since Vispring’s page for this model focuses on construction rather than on those commercial terms. The 2,812 spring count applies to the 150 x 200cm size, so a buyer in another size should confirm the figure for their own dimension when ordering.
This block stands on its own. The key figure is 2,812 springs in the 150 x 200cm size, a number the brand lists for that specific dimension, alongside a 25cm mattress depth plus 6cm of doming and a tolerance of plus or minus 2cm. The mattress is offered in four tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. Fillings are natural throughout, with blended Shetland wool and cotton, hand-opened Austrian Moosburger horsetail, and a Shetland wool blend with cashmere and mohair. Borders carry coir and wool upholstery, four rows of hand side-stitching, horizontal handles and air vents.
On the practical side, the horizontal handles and air vents in the borders are small details that a buyer will notice over years of ownership. Handles make rotating or moving a heavy natural mattress manageable, and the vents allow air to move through the border of the mattress rather than being trapped inside. Neither is a performance claim, but both are construction features the brand lists for this model.
What does the specification sheet actually say?
The specification sheet for the Magnificence is unusually complete on construction and materials, and it gives a clear picture of a hand-built natural mattress with a spring count that varies by size. The table below lists what Vispring publishes for this model.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Collection | The Luxe Collection |
| Spring construction | Two layer hand-nested calico pocket springs |
| Spring count | 2,812 in the 150 x 200cm size (5ft x 6ft 6in) |
| Spring tensions | Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm |
| Spring material | Vanadium steel, made in the Plymouth workshop |
| Upholstery | Natural fillings only: Shetland wool and cotton, Austrian Moosburger horsetail, cashmere and mohair blend |
| Depth | 25cm / 9.8in plus 6cm / 2.4in doming, plus or minus 2cm / 0.8in |
| Borders | Coir and wool upholstery, four rows of hand side-stitching, handles, air vents |
| Tufts | Hand-tied woollen tufts and twine |
| Price, trial, warranty |
Two entries in that table deserve a closer look. The tufts, described as hand-tied woollen tufts and twine, are the traditional method of holding the fillings in place across the surface of the mattress, and the brand lists them as ensuring long-lasting structure and support. The four rows of hand side-stitching on the borders are a separate hand process, listed as adding durability. Together, these two details are the clearest signal that the Magnificence is built using traditional upholstery methods rather than adhesives alone.
How firm is the Magnificence, and what does the feel index mean?
The brand lists a feel index for this model running from 1 to 5, and it offers four spring tensions: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. The Magnificence is positioned as the ultimate in firm support, so a buyer comparing it with softer models should read the tension choice as the primary control over feel.
Support here comes from the two spring layers rather than from foam. The brand describes the vanadium steel springs as contouring to the body, and the hand side-stitching on the borders is listed as adding durability. Fillings are described as resilient and breathable, with hand-teased horsetail credited with bounce and resilience.
The horsetail filling is worth understanding, because it is the least familiar material on the list. Austrian Moosburger horsetail is hand-opened before it goes into the mattress, and the brand credits it with bounce and resilience. Unlike foam, which compresses and returns, horsetail is a fibrous material that springs back by its own structure, which is why it pairs naturally with a spring system rather than replacing one. A buyer who has slept on foam mattresses and wants something that does not feel like foam should read this filling as the clearest signal of the intended feel.
Does the Magnificence sleep cool?
What the specifications do show is a set of construction choices associated with airflow: air vents in the borders, high quality ticking described as breathable, and upholstery of natural fibres including wool and horsetail.
For a shopper weighing this against a foam mattress, the material list itself is relevant. Wool, cotton, horsetail, cashmere and mohair are all natural fibres, and the brand describes the ticking as high quality and breathable. The air vents in the borders are a physical opening in the side of the mattress, and the two layer spring construction leaves space between and around the springs for air to move. These are the documented construction features a buyer can point to; anything beyond that should be confirmed with the brand directly.
What about motion isolation, edge support and noise?
The construction features that bear on these questions are clearly listed: four rows of hand side-stitching on the borders, coir and wool border upholstery, and a two layer spring construction. These are construction facts rather than performance results, and a buyer for whom any of these matter should raise them with the brand directly before ordering.
For a couple, motion transfer is usually the first question, and the side-stitching and two layer spring construction are the features to ask about. For a sleeper who sits on the edge of the bed to dress, the four rows of hand side-stitching are the relevant detail. Noise is a third item to raise directly with the brand, since Vispring makes no statement about it for this model.

How does the Magnificence compare with the Saatva Classic?
The Saatva Classic is an innerspring mattress with a 3 inch Euro pillow top, a dual-coil design of triple-tempered recycled carbon steel, and three comfort levels: Plush Soft at 3/10, Luxury Firm at 5 to 7/10, and Firm at 8/10. It carries a 365-night home trial, free white-glove delivery with old mattress removal, and a lifetime warranty. The Magnificence, by contrast, is a natural-filled pocket spring mattress with four tensions and no published trial, warranty or price from Vispring for this model.
| Point of comparison | Vispring Magnificence | Saatva Classic |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Two layer hand-nested calico pocket springs | Dual-coil innerspring with Euro pillow top |
| Spring count | 2,812 in the 150 x 200cm size | Over 1,000 coils in full size and up |
| Feel options | Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm | Plush Soft 3/10, Luxury Firm 5 to 7/10, Firm 8/10 |
| Fillings | Natural only: wool, cotton, horsetail, cashmere, mohair | Organic cotton cover with Guardin botanical treatment |
| Home trial | 365 nights | |
| Warranty | Not listed by Vispring for this model | Lifetime, for the original purchaser |
| Delivery | Not listed by Vispring for this model | Free white-glove delivery and setup, with old mattress removal |
Who should buy the Vispring Magnificence: a shopper who prioritises natural fillings, hand side-stitching, and a four-tension choice, and who is willing to confirm price, trial and warranty directly with the brand.
Who should buy the Saatva Classic: a shopper who wants published trial and warranty terms, a choice of three comfort levels with stated firmness numbers, and free white-glove delivery including removal of the old mattress.
This is the standalone comparison block: the Magnificence lists 2,812 springs in the 150 x 200cm size and a 25cm depth plus 6cm doming, while the Saatva Classic lists a 365-night trial, a lifetime warranty, and firmness ratings of 3/10, 5 to 7/10 and 8/10 across its three comfort levels.
The two mattresses also differ in how a buyer arrives at the right feel. Vispring offers four spring tensions and a 1 to 5 feel index, which means the choice is made through the spring unit itself. Saatva offers three named comfort levels with published firmness numbers, which means the choice is made through a rating scale. A shopper who already knows they want a specific number, such as 8/10, will find that easier to act on. A shopper who prefers to try the options in person, using Vispring’s own try our mattresses route, may prefer the tension-based approach.
What do price, trial and warranty look like for this model?
Vispring’s page for the Magnificence focuses on construction and materials, and it does not carry a price, trial term or warranty statement for this model. The brand does offer a brochure request and a try our mattresses route, which are the ways to experience the model in person before committing.
For a buyer, that means the commercial conversation happens directly with the brand rather than from a product page. The brochure request gives written detail, and the try our mattresses route gives a physical option. Both are documented routes on the official page, and both are the right place to raise questions about pricing at your size, any trial period, and the warranty terms that apply.
World Sleep Almanac score: 7.6/10
Our editorial score weighs five criteria: price at a given size, trial and return terms, warranty, materials and construction, and publicly available customer reviews.

Who should buy the Saatva Classic instead?
The Saatva Classic suits a shopper who wants the commercial terms written down before paying: a 365-night home trial, free white-glove delivery with old mattress removal, and a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. It also suits anyone who prefers a stated firmness number, since its three comfort levels carry ratings of 3/10, 5 to 7/10 and 8/10. Its construction is a dual-coil innerspring with a 3 inch Euro pillow top and over 1,000 coils in full size and up, made from triple-tempered recycled carbon steel. The Magnificence suits the opposite instinct: a buyer who values natural fillings and hand construction above published policies, and who is happy to confirm those policies with the brand directly.
Verdict: the Vispring Magnificence is the pick for a shopper who wants firm, natural support with four spring tensions and hand-finished borders. The Saatva Classic is the pick for a shopper who wants published trial, warranty and delivery terms alongside three stated firmness levels.

Frequently asked questions
How many springs are in the Vispring Magnificence?
The brand lists 2,812 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in two layers for the 150 x 200cm size, which is 5ft by 6ft 6in. The count is tied to that dimension, so a buyer ordering a different size should confirm the figure for their own measurement when ordering.
What fillings does the Magnificence use?
Upholstery is natural throughout: blended real Shetland wool and cotton, hand-opened Austrian Moosburger horsetail, and a hand-teased real Shetland wool blend with cashmere and mohair, all encased in high quality ticking. Borders are upholstered with coir and wool, and the tufts are hand-tied woollen tufts and twine.
Which spring tensions are available?
Four tensions are offered: Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra Firm. The brand also publishes a feel index for this model running from 1 to 5, and positions the Magnificence as the ultimate in firm support, so the tension choice is the main lever a buyer has over how the mattress feels.
How deep is the mattress?
Overall depth is 25cm, or 9.8 inches, plus 6cm, or 2.4 inches, of doming, with a tolerance of plus or minus 2cm, or 0.8 inches. That doming figure is the natural rise of the fillings above the measured depth, so a fitted sheet should be chosen with it in mind.
Does the Magnificence come with a home trial?
No trial term appears for this model. The brand does provide a brochure request and a try our mattresses route, which are the ways to experience the model before ordering, and a buyer should confirm any trial or return terms directly with the brand.
