The highest-end luxury items often come with the ability to customize the item to the customer's preferences. This is true of Vispring's premium luxury bespoke beds. The spring tension in the mattress is a choice between extra firm, firm, medium, soft, and very soft. You can tailor the mattress to your comfort preference for a great night's sleep for decades to come.
The Vispring Oxford Mattress has a 30-year warranty [PDF] and comfort guarantee.
Vispring's story begins in 1899 with British engineer, James Marshall. When his wife was taken ill in Canada, James hand-made her a supportive mattress with coiled springs wrapped in muslin. It was a revelation in comfort. But it wasn’t until 1901 that the revolutionary design came to Britain. Brought over by John Nolon and Frederick James, the pair decided to produce the mattress commercially and incorporated the Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company in 1901.
In 1911, ocean liners were the way to travel. And it was here that Vispring (as they were now known) found their first major orders. The bespoke comfort of a Vispring mattress fit perfectly in the opulent cabins and suites of the world’s finest ships like the Titanic and Olympic. As the years went by, Vispring’s expert bedmakers started to experiment with new mattress fillings. They introduced more natural materials like horsehair, pure cotton, and Shetland wool, as well as luxury finishes like silk and cashmere. In 1932, Vispring also created the world’s first pocket-sprung divan – which is known as the ultimate sleeping experience.
After decades of innovation and countless bespoke mattresses, Vispring was given the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2012. The award honors any business that has excelled in the fields of international trade, innovation, or sustainable development. Today, Vispring beds are found in 50 countries and stocked by over 500 stores. The perfect night’s sleep is available to more people than ever before.
The entry-level model in the Classic Collection by Vispring is the Oxford mattress. It's the first model to include horsetail as one of its comfort materials. Adding horsetail to a bed is like giving it two million extra springs. The fiber bounces back after compression to restore your mattress's shape after a restful night's sleep.
The horsetail combines with British fleece wool and cotton to create a comfort system that's unparalleled. The all-natural materials in Vispring beds are what people have been using in bedding for centuries. They're better at providing continual comfort for decades while also keeping you cool. This is why Vispring can offer a 30-year warranty and comfort guarantee. Their beds are made with the finest premium materials meant to last for a lifetime.
I have personally tried out an Oxford mattress and can tell you that it is one of the most comfortable beds that I've ever laid on. If I could afford this high-end luxury mattress I'd have bought one long ago! I absolutely recommend the Oxford mattress to anyone who wants a premium luxury bed.
