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.

Fantastic beds from a company that…
Fantastic beds from a company that cares. Yes their expensive compared to the general run of the mill beds out there. However if you want the most comfortable bed you can’t go wrong with a custom made bed from this company. This is our second purchase and I’m sure there will be more in the future.

I originally ordered the Artisan Bespoke 004 and the 3rd party delivery company provided an awful delivery experience, plus I wasn’t sure that was the best mattress for me; but Julie provided helpful advice and engagement with the delivery company so the replacement mattress and delivery experience met all of my expectations. I love my Artisan Bespoke because even though other customers with similar measurements (I am about 170cm and 60kg) find this mattress firm, I am a stomach sleeper and find the wool only top upholstery layer does provide adequate sink and does not feel a bit lumpy like the wool-cotton blend at the top of the Artisan Bespoke 004, with the firmer lower upholstery providing needed support whereas the lower upholstery layers of the Artisan Bespoke 004 did not feel quite as supportive for my personal tastes so there would have been no headroom for softening across the 10 year guarantee period. If the topmost layer eventually gets a bit lumpy despite turning then I plan to get a mattress topper, which is ideal with a firmer mattress, but for now it feels great. Happy customer.

Best beds at any price
Bought a like-for-like replacement super kingsize mattress. Our previous one gave many years excellent service and is still the most comfortable bed anywhere.
Service, as always, is fantastic. You always get a confirmatory call to make sure everything is right before they process the order.
Delivery process was straightforward and on time. The two-man team delivered the bed to our room and set it in place for us.
Highly recommended.

Really good purchase
I have now had my double Artisan Bespoke for over three months and I am really pleased with it. I am sleeping better on it, the biggest improvement from my old mattress is that it’s easier to get back to sleep on it if you wake up early, or just want to doze for a bit.
It is a bit awkward to turn over but one man of average fitness can do it. It does take a good 24 hours to air out, if I bought again I would keep my old mattress while this happened. The guarantee is reassuring, I much prefer seeing things before buying them, especially at this price. One condition of this is that you use a mattress topper, which I found considerably reduced the effectiveness of the mattress.
The buying experience was good, the various staff members were very patient with my numerous questions and did not try to sell me something I didn’t need, like a new base. They knew more and were a lot more professional than than staff in some showrooms I visited.
Overall I would recommend John Ryan and would buy from them again.

I’ve had this mattress for around 2 years now. I decided to wait before reviewing (though I didn’t mean to leave it this long). I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s so comfortable, I sleep so much better than I used to. My partner has back and neck problems and these have really improved since we got the mattress. I did loads of research before buying, loved the level of detail on the John Ryan site and I’m so glad we decided to trust them. There was a problem with the delivery and JR sorted it very quickly and without any hassle. We scandalised our entire family by spending so much on a bed but it is hands down the best purchase I have ever made.
