The firmness of the mattress you desire is determined by a few factors. Your weight and height, and the mattress of your choice. The upholstery layers are the very top comfort layers and give different degrees of firmness alongside the spring unit which should be chosen based on your weight.
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.
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.
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.
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.

JUST LOVE THIS MATTRESS
I told John Ryan about my height weight and problems with my hips and back, and they recommended this mattress. I now look forward to going to bed which I did not before. It supports my weight and cushions my hips. Would definitely recommend John Ryan if you need a suitable mattress. because altho I had bought previous mattresses in shops, and bounced up and down on them, lay on them etc. they were never suitable, and that is why I asked for a recommendation from John Ryan and bought off the internet. So glad I did.

FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY!
Flexible, clear communication, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and just great to deal with. I cant see myself trying a mattress before I but it ever again, simply ask John & Ryan (Julie is fantastic too). Edward

GREAT BED – GREAT SERVICE
I am giving this a 5 star despite a mistake made at the factory on a special order non-standard headboard. John Ryan admitted a communications error with the factory, apologised and had it sorted very quickly. The bed is fabulous and for the first time in years I have not woken up with a backache!
We ordered an Artisan bed and were prepared to go for the most expensive one, but were advised to go for a cheaper one when we explained our requirements. Good honest service. Ron

WOW! SLEEP HAS NEVER BEEN SO GOOD!
I suffer from a disease which affects my joints and getting a suitable bed is unbelievably hard. It needs to suit me and my wife and that just adds to the issues. We have tried 5-6 mattresses over the last 10 years and all of them have disappointed in one way or another. They were not cheap and all from big name manufacturers.
I started to trawl the internet about 6 months ago as I was really suffering with my current bed, despite toppers, covers etc. I came across John Ryan Beds and liked the information on the site. I phoned them and had a good chat with Julie, then Marie and then Gary; I think they got to know me in the end! The advice they gave was honest, professional and fair, they didn’t push me to spend more than needed.
I then found a “B Grade” Artisan 1500 King Size on their outlet site which was a split firm one side and medium the other. Absolutely perfect for me and my wife and although slightly more than I had budgeted for I decided to buy it. Marie told me if it didn’t suit they would swap it or refund me, you can’t ask for more.
I placed the order on Thursday, they passed it to the courier on Friday and on Monday they delivered it. Even the couriers were first class, they phoned me to let me know they were stuck in traffic and would be later than planned. The bed was put in place and I was like a kid in a sweetshop, I couldn’t wait for bedtime!
A week later and I feel so much better, no more waking up like a folded up deckchair and having to release my joints and muscles. The bed is superb and I have slept like a log each night. What is even more remarkable is my wife loves it just as much – brilliant for both of us after 10 years of searching for the correct bed!
If you see “B Grade” please do not worry about the quality as the bed is basically brand new, I could not find a single mark or issue with it.
If you want a quality bed or mattress then forget the warehouse shops with “big names” get in touch with these people and buy one – you will not be disappointed!

A hugely professional company all the…
A hugely professional company all the way through. It is potentially risky buying a high end mattress in this way but they go out of their way to ensure that you get the right product selected initially and their returns policy covers you for any unforseen comfort issues. Great company, great product
