Flexibility to adapt to your position
The Vicuña sits at the top of our mattress range with luxurious, rare Vicuña wool blend. With 1500 individually nested and sleeved pocket springs that adapt to your body’s contours, the mattress delivers precise support where needed while minimising disturbance from movement. Whether you sleep flat, slightly elevated, or require a therapeutic incline, this mattress remains effortlessly responsive, working seamlessly with electric adjustable beds to enhance every sleeping position.
Luxurious layers of natural materials
At the heart of the Vicuña mattress is the finest and rarest wool in the world, the Vicuña wool. The Vicuña is softer and warmer than cashmere, and complemented by layers of hand-teased horse tail and Dartmoor sheep wool. These natural layers harmoniously work to wrap you in warm, supportive softness. Covered in a 100% Ecru wool cover, the Vicuña remains uncompromised with its materials. The materials are breathable and naturally hypoallergenic, helping to regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
Durability for years to come
Handmade in the UK to order, the Vicuña showcases refined craftsmanship with hand-stitched borders, wool tufts and a rich ecru wool cover. More than just aesthetics, its innovative “four-way turn” system means you can rotate and flip the mattress in multiple directions — doubling its usable life compared to traditional designs. With helpful side handles for ease of turning and a 15-year manufacturer's warranty, it’s a mattress that promises long-lasting performance.
Our verdict
The Opera Vicuña Mattress sets a benchmark in premium sleep solutions, thanks to its rare materials, handcrafted build and support for adjustable bases. It’s particularly well-suited to individuals seeking breathable, natural comfort without compromising on body-specific support.
Similarly, the Opera Emporia Mattress is another luxurious mattress crafted with natural layers of wool and cotton. However, the Emporia comes at a lower price point while remaining a premium choice. The Emporia has 1500 pocket springs, which is lower than the 2000 springs in the Vicuña. While the Emporia does not have Vicuña wool, it has layers of Dartmoor sheep wool, hand-teased horse tail, and luxury cotton. Both the Emporia and the Vicuña are 30 cm thick with 15 years of warranty. The best mattress depends on your budget and preferences.
If both the Emporia and Mallow are above your budget, but you’d still like to enjoy natural materials in your bed, you could opt for the Opera Mallow Mattress. The Mallow comes with layers of cotton fibre, Dartmoor sheep wool and 1000 pocket springs, which provide comfort for those with joint pain or specific postural needs. In our range, the Mallow is the most economical mattress made with natural wool.
The Vicuña stands out as a superb choice for discerning sleepers who prioritise premium natural materials, a luxurious experience, and unmatched comfort.
