vi-spring
AVAILABLE FROM HENMAN BEDS
Vi-Spring was founded in 1901, and was the very first
company to produce an interior sprung mattress
using a system of individually pocketed springs. This
changed the way that beds are made, and is often
regarded as the very first modern bed.
Vi-Spring has never wavered from its original
philosophy of using the very best craftsmanship
and the highest quality natural materials to
produce some of the finest beds in the world.
Vi-Spring sources the finest fleeces for the wool
that softens and insulates its beds, and the search
begins close to home. Britain’s changeable
climate makes wool from these isles uniquely
soft, springy and strong, and renowned
throughout the world for its superiority. Vi-Spring
is the only bed manufacturer to use pure Platinum
Certified British fleece wool exclusively in the
production of its beds – and the only company
to use a minimum of four full fleeces in a typical
mattress.
Vi-Spring is one of the very few bed manufacturers
to make its own springs, ensuring that only the
finest grade steel and highest standards of
workmanship go into their production. Each
spring works to shape your Vi-Spring mattress
to your body, adjusting to your movements to
provide constant, cradling support without areas
of pressure. The springs work with the bed’s
upholstery, providing a perfect balance of strength
and softness. The supple springs return to their
original shape after use, maintaining the structure
and integrity of your mattress for longer.
Vi-Spring was voted the top mattress brand by
members of the consumer body Which? in both
2011 and 2012. The company received a
satisfaction score of 85%, with five stars for both
comfort and durability. Vi-Spring was also
awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for
Enterprise in 2012 for the growth of its export
markets, and was recognised within the bed
industry with the accolade of the National Bed
Federation Bed Manufacturer of the Year.
Every mattress border has genuine side-stitching
by hand – a skill that takes craftsmen years to
master. It gives each mattress an exquisite,
tailored finish. It is not just cosmetic though,
unlike that found on many beds today. It gives
supportive strength to the mattress edges that
lesser beds need a metal rod to achieve.
