Hello John Ryan

Thank you very much for your reply, Ryan. Hopefully in the future John Ryan by design make a bed with Horsetail, Cashmere and Alpaca or Mohair. The reason I say this is cause John Ryan has mattress with Mohair, but that mattress has also Poly Cotton in it which is clearly not luxury at all. Also, there is a John Ryan by Design mattress that has Alpaca and Horsetail but then has Bamboo and Flax where other mattresses has Horsetail, Cashmere Mohair or Alpaca, so you can see what I'm saying, where John Ryan has a mattress with Mohair, that mattress also has Poly Cotton, and where John Ryan also has a mattress with Alpaca and Horsetail, that mattress also has Bamboo and Flax where other mattresses has luxury Mohair or Alpaca instead of Bamboo and Flax, so this is why I said hopefully in the future John Ryan can make a mattress with Horsetail, Cashmere, Alpaca or Mohair cause Bamboo and Flax is nowhere near as premium as Mohair and Silk. I think if John Ryan had a mattress with Horsetail, Cashmere and Alpaca or Mohair it would be one of the best mattresses around John Ryan probably use some of the most GSM upholstery but cause John Ryan have mattresses with Mohair and Poly Cotton and Alpaca, Horsetail Bamboo and Flax where there is other mattresses with Horsetail, Cashmere, Mohair and Alpaca which are all luxury instead of Bamboo and Flax which are clearly not as good as Mohair and Alpaca. But as I said, hopefully John Ryan make a mattress with Horsetail, Cashmere, Mohair and Alpaca in the future.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for getting back to us. We would not make a mattress using all of these fibres. With both cashmere and mohair, when blended with wool they have a soft feel. We use 1200gsm layers of these in our mattresses as support layers over the springs.  This is because when used in mattress construction, these fibres are densely packed and are not as soft as when they are used to say make garments.

Flax is another fibre that is used as a support layer. Alpaca, bamboo and wool are soft fibres nearly always used in the top comfort layer.

The amount of the fibre used (whether on its own or in a mix) and the combination of the layers will determine the overall level of comfort within the upholstery layers. Making a mattress consisting of horsetail, cashmere, mohair and alpaca in 1200g layers would produce a very firm mattress, 3600g of support layers with just 1300g for comfort.

As comfort is subjective to each individual this should be taken into account along with their sleeping habits when looking for a new mattress. The Artisan Sublime is our most expensive mattress but as a softer mattress, it would not be suitable for someone who sleeps on their front whereas our firm Artisan Bespoke would not be suitable for side sleepers.

I hope this helps to clarify things and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards
Michaela
