Here's what our satisfied customers had to say about the Artisan 1500 Mattress Outlet

There are no reviews yet.

Showing 0 of 0 reviews

The use of Rebound Poly-Cotton (RPC) and polyester provides this model with a medium feel with a huge amount of upholstery for both comfort and support. This combination contributes greatly towards the overall feel and longevity of the mattress providing loft & resilience.

The final layer of 500 gsm Wool is a premium product used to boost the overall quality of this mattress. More weight could have been gained by using polyester but this usage would deteriorate the overall value. Meaning that the final Comfort Layer of this mattress is 100% Wool for both breathability and softness.

Comfort Feel

The Artisan 1500 has a medium feel in the top upholstery layer giving both support and comfort from the Comfort layers. This model uses a High-End Cashmere insulator layer, 1200GSM,  between the Pocket Spring unit and the Comfort Layers for that true luxury feel.

Springs

The springs are the component which enabled us to build to a specific price point. Same spring material as used in the Calico units – just the housing is different to keep the Artisan 1500 at this competitive price point. They are available in 3 different spring tensions depending on your body weight and height.

Detailing & Fabric

The upholstery quantity and quality is among the best you can get for this budget. There is a massive combined upholstery weight of 4300 GSM of which 53% are Natural Fibres.

Two rows genuine Hand Side Stitching & Hand Tufted.

The Woven mattress cover is completely Chemical-Free using a Natural plant-based fire retardancy protection.

We are also members of the Guild of Mastercraftsmen, showing our focus is firmly on quality and supplying only the best built and constructed mattresses available that can be retailed at a fair and acceptable price.

At John Ryan By Design, we pride ourselves on offering not only amazing mattresses, but also straight-talking, quality information about the world of mattresses. You might say that we’re obsessed with mattresses, and because of that our in-house team of experts are always on hand to answer your questions, and provide you with a wide range of advice and guidance.

However, when you’ve been doing this for as long as we have, you tend to notice that some questions get asked very regularly. We’ve therefore listened to what you need to know, and have put together a growing series of FAQs to help you to quickly find the answers you need!

Ask us a question

No, and no showroom or retailer sells our products. This is part of the reason why our prices can be so competitive: our internet-based company model allows us to avoid passing the excessive costs of other retailers on to our customers. Most staff within showrooms are also not bed experts (unlike our own in-house team). Sadly, such staff probably wouldn’t understand mattress manufacture to the extent that they could reliably answer your questions. To give you confidence in our way of doing things, our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee offers the ability to return a mattress that doesn’t suit you for a full refund, or you can perform a one-time exchange and swap to an alternative model. You can visit our guarantee page for more information, or our article about buying a mattress online to see just why our approach actually benefits you!

From the time you place your order, there is a 4 week average lead time until delivery for most of our mattress models. This is because all of our mattresses, bases and headboards are handmade to order especially for you! You can visit our delivery page for more information.

No. At present, we don’t ship or deliver worldwide. However, we can deliver your purchase to any UK port that you choose, allowing you to arrange onward delivery from there. If you take advantage of this, please do note that exercising our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee would require you to return your purchase to us at your own cost.

Ask us a question.

There are over 6000 questions and answers submitted by you on all questions about mattresses and bed problems. Enter a keyword such as Vi Spring, John Lewis beds, bad back or Memory Foam and see if your question has already been answered.

If you’re not satisfied with what we’ve recommended then we operate under a 100% Money Back Guarantee. This means that if you aren’t happy with a product within 60 days we’ll arrange for the mattress to be collected free of charge. If your new mattress hasn’t met your expectations then we want to know about it, and we’ll ensure you find the mattress that’s right for you or provide a full refund.

Handmade in the UK

All of our mattresses are handmade in the UK and split into the following ranges:

Origins – Starter level pocket spring mattresses at an affordable price
Artisan – Bespoke pocket spring mattresses that contain natural fibres
John Ryan Express – Hand-made mattresses
Resilience – Supportive mattresses built for larger sleepers

Our quality mattresses range from Man Made pocket sprung to Natural Fibre pocket sprung, with every product finding the balance between comfort and value. Pocket sprung mattresses are one of the best choices because they are constructed to a high standard. Our best selling Origins Pocket 1500 mattress is comfortable and great value for money. Choosing the right mattress comes down to build quality and price, so you’ll want to keep that in mind.
