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.

We were very nervous about spending so…
We were very nervous about spending so much on the artisan 1500 super king. Everyone was so kind and helpful. It came and it was so hard I had to get out and sleep in the spare room. I felt like I was being pushed by cement. It went on for a week. We then bought a mattress topper to keep it clean mainly but then it was so comfortable.
However we didn’t want to rely on the topper so I called John Ryan and they advised to try it again without the topper and persevere. The topper had been on 2 weeks. We persevered and after just under a month it is the most comfortable bed we have ever had. I have now taken to snoring (apparently) so I must be getting the best sleep I’ve ever had. Thank you John Ryan for all your support as we called you many times and you were always patient and gave us the best advise. Excellent bed.Excellent customer service.

Excellent Service
Excellent. The best Customer Service I have ever dealt with.
From my first queries to delivery the service is first class.
We wanted a super king size and thought, having measured the size of room, everything would be okay. John Ryan customer service asked for measurements of stairs, video of route etc and concluded we would be best suited with a zip-lock solution. Good job too.
The beds are fantastic. i have waited 6 weeks to post on here just to make sure of a fair review.
Quality of the base units, mattress and headboard are all superb and vastly superior to anything we looked at in our local bed stores. (and I had to look at a lot!!) for a comparable price.
We have a firm mattress, which my wife, who is lighter than me, took some time to adjust to but we now get the best sleep of our lives.
All in all an excellent customer service, fantastic quality product and a very efficient delivery service and team.
Well done John Ryan.

We have bought a few items from John Ryan by Design Ltd, and the fact that we keep coming back says it all. Their service is good, and the products are well made.They are not cheap, but then cheap comes with a trade off in terms of quality. Beds and mattresses are bought for years of use, so it’s best not to skimp.

Excellent Mattress and Service
I have been sleeping on my new Artisan 1500 for a couple of weeks now and am so impressed with it. The upholstery is nice and firm and supportive with a luxurious softness. I would say that if you are concerned about not being able to try, ask for advice from the team as I found their advice to be spot on.
Service throughout was excellent and accommodating – down to the final delivery. I would definitely order again and will recommend to friends and family.
