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 ultimate in firmness and 100% Natural Fibre fillings, this mattress provides soothing medium/firm support, through robust fillings & tailored Calico Pocket Springs.
The Artisan Bespoke has an incredible 5100GSM of 100% Natural fillings.
The Horsetail, Horsehair and Cashmere insulator gives the mattress a firmer feel in the top upholstery Comfort Layers.
Two layers of Wool and Blended British Wool and Cotton provide a slight sink giving this a firm but forgiving feel.
The Bespoke has three rows of Genuine Hand Side Stitching & Hand Nested Springs. 8 padded turning handles on a Kingsize model.
1600 Calico encased Pocket Springs [49mm] [1.28mm] Sewn-in individual calico pockets and hand-formed into a honeycomb-nested unit. We also zone the perimeter sides (2 rows) of the mattress with a slightly firmer spring to aid the edge support. This stabilises the mattress when sitting on the edge.
The Woven mattress cover is completely Chemical-Free using a Natural plant-based fire retardancy protection.

Our John Ryan Artisan Pocket Spring bases are 12″ in depth plus 2″ for Shepherd Castors making them 14″ in total.
Spring edging can be looked upon as a mini mattress between the main mattress and the base. It offers progressive support that dampens the strain of weight from the user. This significantly improves the overall comfort level of a mattress. This difference in comfort is often described as ‘Softer’ which is quite an incorrect term to use.
The drawers on the Artisan bases are 32″ wide, 20″ deep and 7″ high.
You can have 2 or 4 drawer options. If using bedside tables you may want to have 2 full size and 2 continental drawers so the drawers next to the bedside tables can be opened fully.
Continental drawers will have the same depth and height as the normal, but the width will be 17.5 inches. To find out more such as the sizes and splits that Divans come in please read more here.

It’s no use being coy about this. Our Artisan Bespoke is based quite clearly on the build quality of many of Vi-Spring and Savoir models. We state quite openly that our Artisan Bespoke is “The best mattress your money can buy” with the following reasoning.
To present our case, our Artisan Bespoke is described and detailed to the extreme in order to give you all the initial information you need to make an educated and informed comparison.
The closest comparable model we can find to our Artisan Bespoke is the Vi-Spring Herald Superb. It carries a retail price of £2670 for a King size. We always try as best we can to base our comparable models to about half the lowest price we can find.
The mattress cover is completely Chemical-Free using a Natural plant-based fire retardancy protection.
This model has a 10-year guarantee.
