The VI-Spring Traditional Bedstead Mattress is designed specifically for use on any type of bedstead, be it traditional or modern in style, or made from wood, brass or iron.

The specifications on this mattress are as follows:

Mattress Springs: 1.52mm wire springs, 56mm diameter in individual sewn cotton calico pockets, hand formed into a honeycomb nested unit.

Mattress Border: 21cm deep with two rows of genuine hand side-stitching. Horizontal handles. Air vents on all sides. Borders upholstered in protective lambswool. Finished with piped ticking.

Mattress Upholstery: 1350gsm bonded lambswool and cotton and 2400gsm blended lambswool and cotton. Covered with Belgian ticking. Hand tufted with felt washers.

Note: We do not recommend you put a new mattress on an old divan base, or use a pocket sprung mattress such as this on an adjustable bed.

Please see our Bed Buying and Care Guides for further assistance. (Gsm = grammes per square metre.)

When choosing your mattress, for access purposes, please note the following:

All models up to and including 6'(180cm) wide are delivered in one piece unless ordered as a zip/link. Where available, this option only applies to 5'(150cm) and 6'(180cm) sizes. If selected the mattress will then be delivered in 2 sections.

Under bed storage can be a great hidden asset! Divan drawers provide great space for your spare linen and other lightweight items. (We do not recommend you use them for heavy items such as books etc.)

If space is tight, in selected models, an end drawer may be more accessible that side ones. However if you have bedside cabinets or fitted furniture, you may find a ‘continental’ option of a half drawer at the head end of the bed to be the most useful.

As a bespoke manufacturer VI-Spring offer a choice of comfort levels: soft, medium and firm, and make general recommendations of their suitability based on body weight. Combined with various fillings, again it is a matter of personal preference which you choose.

Our online Bed Buying and Care Guides are also designed to help you make the right choice.

Please note: if the model you select has a zip/link option (5’ (150cm) and 6’ (180cm) sizes only), both mattresses will be supplied in the same tension. If available, should you require a different combination, e.g. soft/medium or medium/firm, please note this in the ‘Special Instructions’ box when placing your order online.
