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 World First 100% Natural Plant-Based Vegan Mattress has a medium feel in the top upholstery layers with a slight sink in the softer Comfort Layers. Fully breathable and with world-class Natural Organic Fibres.
This mattress has been fully certified as Vegan by the Vegan Society UK.

Containing Coir Coconut fibre, Organic Flax, Talalay latex, Rebound Cotton and Natural Bamboo this mattress provides deep comfort for the sleeper. The comfort layers are responsive to the sleeper wanting a cushioning sink before the 1500 Pocket spring unit provides the support.
Our Latex Mattresses are ideal for sleepers looking for progressive support or those who have been used to a traditional natural fibre model. This range will allow a medium sink into the mattress but progressive enough to allow ease of movement.
Featuring a huge 3150GSM of 100% Natural Fibre fillings this mattress is unbeatable in terms of comfort & value.
Two rows genuine Hand Side Stitching & Hand Tufted.
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.

This entirely Plant Fibre-based Vegan latex mattress takes comfort and responsibility to the next level. With very few true Vegan mattresses on this market, we have designed this model to use the best Natural Plant Fibres and Latex to bring you the perfect nights sleep. If you have allergies with animal fibres then the Artisan Latex provides an alternative that’s entirely plant-based.
Containing Coir Coconut fibre, Organic Flax, Talalay latex, Rebound Cotton and Natural Bamboo this mattress provides deep comfort for the sleeper. The comfort layers are responsive to the sleeper wanting a cushioning sink before the 1500 Pocket spring unit provides the support. We’ve topped this off with a Chemical-free Damask cover.
This is a two-sided mattress.
This model comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Artisan Latex Mattress – Medium
Having done a lot of research for an ethical, chemical, animal free mattress we ordered the Artisan Latex super king mattress. Investing in such a mattress for quality of sleep, comfort and quality was a big step for us to order on line without being able to see and feel. Received great customer service when I called for advice and to find out more.
The mattress arrived before the estimated time and well packaged. When peeling back the packaging – wow beautifully well made, and absolutely no nasty or chemical smells whatsoever. Does it have a smell? I would describe it as a very faint oat smell – that would be the material.
Slept so well the first night, and we both continue to do so. So happy we ordered this mattress, it’s so comfortable. I had a memory foam one beforehand but made me too hot (my age!) … not with the Artisan.
Would highly recommend – great quality, professional and great customer service. Thank you!

Highly recommend John Ryan by Design…
Would highly recommend John Ryan by Design. From first contact with the sales lady to delivery of the mattress it was highly polished. Special mention to the advice given as to choice of mattress – the lady helped us and even advised on the cheaper model (we would have happily spent more if it had been ‘right’ for us). Delivery team also very professional and courteous

We have had this mattress a few weeks…
We have had this mattress a few weeks and really love it. In the past we have had foam mattresses which make us too hot and smell of synthetic horrid smells which make it hard to breathe, or have had spring and wool and I am allergic to wool. The quality of this build and the natural use of latex means the mattress is comfortable like other spring mattresses but without the need for wool and the latex has a mild pleasant vanilla smell which went after a day of breathing. The quality of the springs and firmness works for both a big man and a petite wife. We are really happy and are sleeping well for the first time in years. A great product at a great price. The makers should be proud, well done. We will certainly replace all the mattresses in our house with this make.
