Replacing a Vispring Supreme Bedstead Medium mattress
I am seeking to replace a single size Vispring Supreme Bedstead Medium Mattress which I have perhaps used for too many years which now sags a little in the middle. I now experience more hip pain. I am 76kg 6ft senior male. I dislike hot beds as they make my legs kick out. The mattress would be on a bedstead with less than 70mm between the slates but I could alter the gap
My search is confined to pocket sprung. Your website leads me to a natural fibre – perhaps the Artisan bespoke 004 or maybe the Artisan Naturals but I would welcome your advice. Selection of the correct type is the governing factor.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the question and all the detail. It’s really helpful in providing a tailored recommendation.
Ok, so if you’re a hot sleeper you want to avoid synthetic fibres and foams. Natural fibres are far more breathable and high wicking. So you’re correct to be looking at our Artisan Naturals range of mattresses. All of which are handmade here in the UK.
For your weight and height we would recommend the Artisan Bespoke 004 in a medium spring tension. This model is 100% Natural fibre and highly breathable. It will give you a medium feel in the comfort layers. The Calico encased pocket springs in this model are also vanadium coated. It is 2 sided so can be fully turned (which should be done monthly to ensure even settlement) and comes with a 10 year guarantee. The Upholstery is shown below, alongside the Vispring regal superb with the Vispring Superb underneath also for comparison.

The Vispring Supreme is listed as containing:

We would advise boarding over the slats to prevent any unnecessary settlement and to provide a consistent sleeping surface. We have a guide here on that.
