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.

Absolutely brilliant mattress and hugely helpful team
We love our new mattress, especially having had a bad experience with a foam mattress previously.
We were only able to get the right mattress for us from the brilliant advice given by the customer service team.
Great experience, thank you!

Very happy purchaser
We have had our mattress for about a month now and are very happy with it and the overall buying experience.
We needed to replace a very ancient uncomfortable mattress and whilst researching a replacement I found the information available (or lack of it) from different vendors about their mattresses pretty confusing. The whole market seems to be a minefield for the purchaser.
The John Ryan website was really helpful in explaining mattress construction and quality and after a lot of internet trawling and thinking about the kind of mattress we needed we decided to purchase from them.
Communication throughout the purchase process was excellent and it was delivered on time with no bother at all. The mattress is extremely sturdy and well made. it is very heavy so recommend getting the delivery guys to take it upstairs for you, which they were more than happy to do. I paid the additional charge to have the old mattress removed, which again was sorted by the delivery guys no problem.
Basically this mattress is a million miles away in terms of quality and construction from the ‘mattress in a box’ we were initially thought we were interested in buying.
I would definitely recommend this company.

Top service and top product
We have received the new bed, on time, exactly what we have order but miles better than we ever dared to expect!
Let’s start at the beginning:
• We had ordered online and picked what we had deemed the right choice with our knowledge
• The order was followed up with a prompt phone call, lots of questions were asked, you listened to everything we have said and it turned out that your knowledge helped us to choose a much more suitable bed
• Delivery was on the day as expected
• Bed is of a fabulous quality, it looks stunning and we sleep like King and Queen in the best 5 star hotel
Thank you so so much for your help, for your product and for providing REAL customer service. We are so glad, we found you on the net.

Excellent mattress and service
Our whole thing experience with John Ryan has been excellent, from the advice given in our initial phone call to the mattress that arrived. Everyone we’ve spoken to has been helpful and well informed. Delivery was easily arranged and arrived at the agreed time.

Awesome mattress (Artisan 1500 Mattress), great quality, very comfortable, basically the best mattress I have ever slept on (in over 50 years).
