How to choose the right Vispring divan bed
We look at the construction and support provided by Vispring's diverse range of divans to help you choose the best model for years of comfortable sleep.
When you think the time is right for upgrading your old divan bed and choosing a new one, we usually gravitate to tried and tested models we've been used to or slept on before. You would be right in assuming that well established models by trusted manufacturers don't change much over the years. This is especially true for Vispring with their established models such as Herald Superb and Regal Superb.
It's important to remember our bodies do change and one thing we must consider is how a new divan set and mattress will respond to our physique now, and not focus on what felt great when we bought a bed ten or fifteen years ago.
Is this guide we unravel the complex construction of each Vispring divan bed and give you our insight into why we feel each divan set feels unique and how it can support you in different ways. We'll look at:
The Elite
Baronet Superb
Devonshire
Herald Superb
The Dartington
Regal Superb
Shetland
Kingsbridge
Tiara Superb
We hope our in-depth guide helps you choose your next Vispring divan bed, but please call into our shop to try the range yourself, or get in touch for more expert advice.
To start, Vispring have created a truly wonderful mattress and divan base combination. There is a perfect match of quality timber base with individually coiled vanadium steel pocket springs, with hand-crafted and hand-teased natural fillings in the mattress collection. These work together to respond to the contours of our body in a way that pocket-spring mattresses and mass-produced quilted fillings in other beds don't.
Essentially, due to the immense strength of the pocket springs used by Vispring, the wire in each spring can be made thinner and therefore feel far more responsive. Less springs need to be used as a result, so the mattress and divan base can mould to the contour of our bodies far more easily, feel less bulky and still maintain the dense, “full” feel we have come to love from a Vispring bed.
Did you know; A quality sprung divan base can add up to 30% more support and comfort to a mattress?
It goes without saying that our preference for different types of decors in our homes has an impact on the type of beds we choose. Sprung divan bases are certainly the only choice if you're after the best overall support when you sleep, enabling your Vispring pocket sprung mattress to work to its full potential.
Bed frames can certainly look great, and you can still get great support from a specially designed Vispring bedstead mattress on slats, providing they are no wider that 7cm apart. We also sell bed-frame sprung divans which discretely sit inside the siderails and on top of the slats. This can provide much needed extra support under your mattress. Ask us about this option if you'd like to learn more.
Where it all begins.
Every divan bed set from Vispring offers a unique feel. As we progress through the range the divan base improves significantly in specification to match the improvements within each mattress. The number of pocket springs and the luxurious natural upholstery increase in both mattress and divan base for combined durability and support.
