Price History
Description
Upholstered exclusively in Platinum Certified British fleece wool, including hand-teased Devonshire fleeces, the Devonshire has an indulgently cosy and supple feel. The use of British wool - with its unique strength, resilience and ability to regain and maintain its form in the face of repeated use - produces a sensation of comfort and luxury that will last for years to come. The Devonshire Mattress is best when paired with a Divan base, as it cannot rest of a bed with slats. The Wool de Luxe Divan is the ideal pairing, providing the same luxurious layers of wool with a solid timber frame.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Vispring Devonshire soft tension divan because of its clean, understated look and versatility. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors where its subtle elegance can be highlighted with sleek linens and minimal accessories. The soft tension aspect makes it comfortable for a range of sleepers, and its double size offers great stability-ideal for pairing with both plush or firmer headboards depending on the look you're after. Practical styling tips include adding layered bedding, such as textured throws or decorative cushions, to soften the base’s simplicity. For a more tailored feel, choose a fitted sheet that complements the colour palette of your room-neutral shades like grey or beige tend to enhance its understated appeal.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
