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.

Excellent service as always I’ve had…

Best beds ever
*Customer service*
We were buying our first new bed for over a decade, and for the first time were able to afford something more than the most basic of mattresses. The team at John Ryan were beyond helpful, talking us through every step of the selection process and recommending the bed that was right for us (not the most expensive thing they offer, as we’d experienced on the high street). When the bed was delivered and the base wouldn’t fit up our narrow staircase, they fixed the problem without a fuss and at a ridiculously reasonable price.
*Comfort*
I waited over a month to post this review, and can confidently say I’ve never slept in a more comfortable bed. The fact that it can be flipped both ways (top to bottom and head to foot) gives me confidence that it’ll remain comfortable for years.
*Price*
This isn’t cheap, but it’s no more expensive than a bed from one of the big brands, with the added bonus that it’s properly well-made with identifiable, natural materials that breathe (no plastic here).

I am absolutely amazed
This is my third mattress in 5 years and I think I’ve found our perfect fit. Yes, I’ve bought the mail order memory foam kak and suffered. I’ve also bout from the popular high street shops, only to find, what you try in store is NOT what you get.
Third time lucky, bit the bullet, spent the extra quid and John Ryan by Design has surpassed our expectations. The quality is phenomenal. Truly. And by gosh its comfortable.
The advice given was spot on. We got a call a few days in, after placing an order on their site. We picked firm (as our last mattress sunk and killed my back) but was told medium will be correct due to our body weight and type of sleep positions. I was hesitant but took the advice by John Ryan. And yep, ‘medium’ for us is spot on, and is actually firm due to the support this mattresses offers.
Do it, try it. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you John Ryan and team.
Siraj.

This the second John Ryan mattress I have bought. The first was Latex but I realised when babysitting for grandchildren that I preferred my daughter’s John Ryan Artisan 1500. Now I’ve treated us to one. Fabulous!
