About

Vispring showcases its rich heritage of traditional British craftsmanship with a side-stitch demonstration and panel discussion. Hosted at its flagship Regent Street showroom, Vispring looks forward to welcoming visitors to witness its design mastery firsthand.

Joining Vispring for the panel discussion, broadcaster and smallholder Kate Humble discusses the evolving landscape of traditional British craft skills in the design industry today, notably focusing on the use of natural materials, including British wool. In 2025, the notion, ‘buy once, buy well’ is making a comeback, with a gradual return in appreciation for longevity in design and the value of buying to last. The panel discusses this, along with the importance of provenance of materials, local sourcing and sustainability for producers, manufacturers and consumers.

A leading luxury British bed manufacturer, Vispring introduced the pocket sprung mattress in London in 1901. Based in Plymouth, Devon since 1970, Vispring is the benchmark for bespoke, handcrafted beds, made using only the finest natural materials, including British wool, Real Shetland wool, cashmere, horsehair and silk. Epitomising a distinctly British form of elegance, Vispring combines technical prowess with lasting respect for traditional methods of workmanship and remains the international standard for comfort and sophistication.

Discussing the event, Clare Schifano, Global Marketing Director at Vispring says: ‘We are thrilled to be hosting a side-stitch demonstration and panel talk with Kate Humble at our Regent Street, St. James’s showroom during London Craft Week 2025. Traditional British manufacturing techniques, natural materials, brand authenticity and craftsmanship are central to our ethos. Vispring has a rich heritage rooted in British craft skills, quality and innovation. As pioneers of the pocket sprung bed, we’re proud to be setting the standard for luxury mattresses around the world to this day. Every Vispring bed is meticulously crafted by hand, in our Devon factory, with exceptional attention to detail.’

Following the talk, Kate Humble is hosting a signing of her new book, Home Made.
