Vi Spring The Story

In 1899, an English engineer called James Marshall handcrafted his wife a supportive mattress with muslin-wrapped coiled springs when she was taken ill in Canada. His mattress offered an unrivalled level of comfort. It wasn’t until 1901 that his innovative design came to the UK. It was brought over by Frederick James and John Nolon who decided to manufacture the mattress commercially. In 1911, Vispring realised their first major orders when ocean liners became popular. A Vispring mattress was a perfect fit for the extravagant cabins and suites on the most exquisite ships around the globe like the Titanic and Olympic. In 1932, Vispring developed the first pocket-sprung divan bed in the world which came to be known as the ultimate sleeping experience.
