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.

In a nutshell I am going to buy from John Ryan by Design again and already recommended it to my fellow colleagues and friends. This explains it all.
I have purchased Artisan Bespoke Super King Medium/Soft split couple months ago. Frankly I have spent a lot of time trying different mattresses at the shops and got more and more confused more I’ve tried so I simply followed the advise by the office and ordered one thinking worse case scenario I will send it back if it won’t suit me. Being consultant and treating spinal pain for number of years I have suspected how important is the mattress and ability to give a chance for your body to restore itself during the sleep but I did not expect what have’happened. After first night my pain eased and I simply feel more rested in the morning, same with my wife. I believe pocket spring mattress with natural filling is the best and my experience confirms it. Bespoke is quite firm , firmer than Vispring so make sure this is what you want. It suits me.
I would like to thank everybody in the office for bespoke boutique service and especially gentlemen from delivery company who have sorted delivery time out of hours during our first conversation. This is so rare in our time to receive such service when people genuinely care and so important especially for us working impossible schedules. Delivery itself was great I just feel sorry for the team who needs to carry 80kg mattresses upstairs through tight spaces.
Many many thanks ,will buy again and would recommend.

Purchased the Artisan Bespoke
Purchased the Artisan Bespoke, and its the best mattress i have ever slept on. I already knew what mattress i needed (firm) but the composition and quality of materials also mattered (natural). John Ryan was the only manufacturer that included this information. The only pain was waiting 4 weeks for it to be constructed and delivered but since taking delivery the lower back pain i used to experience every morning has disappeared and my quality of sleep is now the best it has ever been. It was somewhat expensive but given you spend 1/3 of your life asleep its worth every penny, this is not an area i was going to accept poor quality. This particular mattress is heavy so turning is a 2 man job but that is more indicative of the quality of the product. I also appreciated the quality of advice on the John Ryan website and the feedback to various customers. Delivery was professional, they rang me the day before to confirm and provided an expected ETA, they also took the mattress up 2 flights of stairs to the required bedroom and took away all the wrapping. Overall, i was expecting a quality product and service and i got one.

Excellent service. Excellent Bed.
It was time for a new mattress so started looking. I was aware of only good things said about John Ryan so had a read of their website and called them for a chat. We agreed on the Artisan Bespoke but there was no way I was buying the base to go with it as let’s face it a sprung base is just one big con isn’t it! Nothing wrong with my divan base so why replace it?
Michaela gave me all the info’ I needed (with no hard sale) and off I went trying and looking into her various suggestions. Needless to say her knowledge of all things beds were superior to mine and we also bought a sprung base. We also purchased a headboard.
Delivery was arranged and I felt sorry for the delivery team as not only did they have to carry a 56KG mattress up one flight of stairs but then also up another as our bedroom is in the loft.
So. The important question. Is it comfortable? Hell yes! Most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on. 11 out of 10.
Would I recommend John Ryan? Yes. I genuinely would highly recommend them. Yes, they’re not cheap, but then quality isn’t.
Thank you John Ryan, and a huge thanks to Michaela for being there and answering all my questions and giving advice.

The main requirement in any bed is comfort, and one gets it in spades! Of course it makes leaving the bed very difficult. But who says that life is a bed of roses?! John Ryan’s comes pretty close!
