An iconic symbol of British quality, Vispring have been selling handmade luxury mattresses and divan beds since 1901. As one of our best loved bed brands, we have no trouble explaining what we like about them, from their origins to their fabulous products.
In 1899 in Canada, British engineer James Marshall hoped to give his ailing wife the best possible gift: a perfect night’s sleep. To this end, he created the individually pocketed steel spring. This technology has proven so successful that it is still used to this day.
His invention caught the attention of John Nolan and Frederick James, who promoted this remarkable new mattress in Britain. When they couldn’t find a manufacturer to produce the mattress for them, they decided to manufacture it themselves, forming the Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company in 1901 and adopting the Vispring name and logo ten years later.
In 1932, Nolan and James introduced the world’s first pocket sprung divan to accompany their iconic mattresses.
Based in Plymouth, Vispring remain one of the largest and most successful bed manufacturers in the world, famed for their superb craftsmanship as well as their long and illustrious history.
Their beds have been used in many iconic places, including the Titanic and Queen Mary ocean liners and Savoy hotels.
In 2012, the company gained the Royal Warrant as proof of their outstanding quality. Their 30 year guarantee shows just how confident they are in the longevity of their products.
So, what is it that makes Vispring unique? The clue is in the name: the VI in Vispring represents the number six in Roman numerals. While many manufacturers use springs with only five turns, Vispring springs feature six, providing superior support.
Vispring products are handmade from beginning to end by master craftsmen, right here in the UK. The company make their own springs and nest them in a highly supportive honeycomb structure.
