Suitable mattress for someone with horsehair allergy
Hi,
After testing out comparable Vispring mattresses and spending ages reading all the helpful information on your website, myself and my husband had pretty much settled on the Artisan Bespoke 004. However we’ve just realised that as my husband is really really allergic to horses, the horsehair in this mattress might possibly cause some problems. Could you offer any advise on how we could get around this? Is there another very similar mattress without horsehair – we wondered about the Artisan Naturals instead?
Husband is a 14st side sleeper, and I’m 9st back and side sleeper, and we wanted something that felt pretty supportive but with a slight softness on top.
Thank you very much!
Hi B Bamford,
Thank you for your question.
If you have tried the Vi Spring Regal Superb and liked the feel our comparable models are the Artisan Bespoke 004 and the Artisan Naturals. The Bespoke 004 is the closest in feel to the Regal Superb however as you have quite rightly said, this model contains Horse hair whereas the Naturals does not.
The Artisan Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico Pocket spring unit. This medium feel hand crafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’. The Naturals is described as the ‘true medium’ of the Artisan Range.

If you are still interested in purchasing the Artisan Bespoke 004 you can always look in to purchasing a mattress encasement from a company called Allersafe.
