Here's what our satisfied customers had to say about the Artisan Naturals
Showing 0 of 193 reviews
Upholstery Layer 1: Blended British Fleece Wool & Cotton give a soft yet resilient top comfort layer. With a high loft, it provides a mix of comfort and light support.
Upholstery Layer 2: A hair-proof cambric cover helps stop fibres from migrating between layers and is found in all high-end mattresses.
Upholstery Layer 3: 1250GSM Rebound Polycotton helps with both support and rebound with this mattress.
Upholstery Layer 4: We used 1500GSM Mohair as the insulating layer to add a robust property to the forthcoming layer.
This has been specifically built to enable us to say, “You just cannot get a better-built mattress for this price”. Support from the 1600 Calico Encased Pocket Springs (which are Vanadium coated) can be tweaked softer to firmer to suit your own individual body weight or indeed have half firm and half medium as required and at no additional charge with our split tension offering.
The internal upholstery is amongst the best you can get for this price range, and all this combined ensures that this mattress will be exceptionally hard to beat for build, comfort and, more importantly, price.

FAQs
At John Ryan By Design, we pride ourselves on offering not only amazing mattresses, but also straight-talking, quality information about the world of mattresses. You might say that we’re obsessed with mattresses, and because of that our in-house team of experts are always on hand to answer your questions, and provide you with a wide range of advice and guidance.
However, when you’ve been doing this for as long as we have, you tend to notice that some questions get asked very regularly. We’ve therefore listened to what you need to know, and have put together a growing series of FAQs to help you to quickly find the answers you need!
No, and no showroom or retailer sells our products. This is part of the reason why our prices can be so competitive: our internet-based company model allows us to avoid passing the excessive costs of other retailers on to our customers. Most staff within showrooms are also not bed experts (unlike our own in-house team). Sadly, such staff probably wouldn’t understand mattress manufacture to the extent that they could reliably answer your questions. To give you confidence in our way of doing things, our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee offers the ability to return a mattress that doesn’t suit you for a full refund, or you can perform a one-time exchange and swap to an alternative model. You can visit our guarantee page for more information, or our article about buying a mattress online to see just why our approach actually benefits you!
From the time you place your order, there is a 4 week average lead time until delivery for most of our mattress models. This is because all of our mattresses, bases and headboards are handmade to order especially for you! You can visit our delivery page for more information.
No. At present, we don’t ship or deliver worldwide. However, we can deliver your purchase to any UK port that you choose, allowing you to arrange onward delivery from there. If you take advantage of this, please do note that exercising our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee would require you to return your purchase to us at your own cost.

Our team will be able to guide you to the right product for you and your budget. We grade the products in our warehouse and the grading is decided based on the condition of the product upon return. All mattresses are Grade B or C. At this stage we cannot give you the history of each product or the very specifics of where any marks may be located so if this is important for you to know then a clearance bed may not be for you and you can choose your mattress in the normal way. We do however guarantee that the condition will be no worse than described below and in most cases is actually better!

Just as all of the other reviews say. I was worried about ordering a mattress online after trying so many in the shops but thought that with the return policy would allow me to hive it a go at least.
I can’t fault the company, service or product. After a telephone conversation about my partner and my sleeping preferences we went for the king size artisan mattress. It arrived perfectly packed by a company that took pride in delivering it!
As soon as we slept on the mattress we knew we had made the right choice. It was extremely comfortable and we have both slept like babies since. The mattress is beautifully made with real quality. I can’t recommend it or John Ryan anymore, go for it and give one a go you won’t look back.
Happy Customer
What a truly wonderful company! If only all companies operated with such efficiency and care for the customer! The whole process from purchase through to delivery has been amazing, we cannot fault John Ryan, truly exceptional! (Purchaser of a John Ryan Artisan Naturals mattress).

Great customer service, comfortable mattress
Anonymous
Worth every penny! A mattress is a considered purchase but it feels intimidating when you can’t go into a store and tuck yourself up to try out a good nights sleep or not! I rang up John Ryan for advice, the lady I spoke to was incredibly helpful and I did end up buying a more expensive mattress than I had originally intended but no regrets. So well made! So comfy and what price can you put on a good nights sleep!?
Joanne
Everything The advice given over choose of mattress. The delivery was arranged to fit in with me. The men delivering were charming and helpful.
Jenny
Ticks the boxes. An easy and helpful experience from the very start. From initial questions through to delivery everything ran very smoothly and I am extremely happy with the finished product. Comfortable to sleep on with the ‘feel’ that I was hoping for and a quality product. Very happy, thank you.

Buying a mattress is non an easy task. There are so many companies and products on the market that you can spend ages searching and still not be sure if this is your best choice. John Ryan website is brilliant. Full of interesting facts and comparisons. I have emailed them three times before making a decision and they were quick in responding to my questions. After placing an online order I got a call back where my order was confirmed and then got a certificate in the mail. I felt the company was very professional. Delivery people were good.

Helpful website, make an informed choice. Good website – read it. It explains the details of mattresses and how to select the right spec. We could make an informed choice after years of sharp sales tactics. Mattress was made and delivered as agreed. Great product – very happy with the mattress and would recommend John Ryan without hesitation.

First Class service from ordering our mattress to the delivery. Such a comfy mattress so pleased we looked at all the u tube videos to help us make our decision to buy from John Ryan by design.

Right decision! It was a big decision for us to spend about £3.5k on a new bed – but we have been absolutely thrilled with it from day one. It is honestly giving us the most comfortable sleep we’ve ever had. When you think about the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship, you can see where your money has gone. I wish we’d taken the plunge sooner is all!

It’s been 8 nights now since we had our mattress delivered. Just a quick review of our experience. Initial contact and discussion, friendly and professional. Delivery service, great. Courteous couple of chaps, kept us informed of their impending arrival time. Offered to take their shoes off but we had done the necessary prep for the delivery, as requested. Took our old mattress away as agreed. First night!! I couldn’t believe it, I regularly wake up at 3.30am, didn’t wake till 7.30. I was in shock. You really should recommend using, or even supplying an alarm clock with every mattress. My wife, who suffers from arthritis is enjoying her sleeping also, and said because of the well designed structure and defined shape, the bed is easier to make. Finally!! The old saying that you get what you pay for could never be more appropriate. Over the last 10 years or so we have spent far more on different mattresses than we have just spent on this JR one. Thanks to my wife’s research we found you. Keep up the great work Glenda and Bob

Excellent product information and… Excellent product information and service. The information on their website was clear, helpful and informative. I wondered how I ever bought a mattress in all my 70 yrs without such knowledge!! I also found their telephone customer service to be excellent. Buying their bed and mattress is the best investment I have ever made. I sleep like a baby now!
Molly
Exceptional in Every Way! Excellent service from first contact to delivery. The mattress is exceptional in every way. We’ve never slept so well and look forward to a quality nights sleep every night. You certainly get what you pay for and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this company and there wonderful mattresses. You won’t be disappointed!
Simon
We couldn’t be more pleased! We appreciated the sound advice at the start and the whole process was very efficient. Delivery was slightly ahead of time and we are delighted with the mattress. We would 100 percent recommend John Ryan a company which really does go the extra mile.

Superb Artisan Natural This is actually my second review of our new Artisan Naturals bed. We have been sleeping on our wonderful new bed for around six weeks now and it is just brilliant. It is very comfortable but supportive and we really like the fact that it has a sprung edge. We have turned it several times and being a super king, it is quite a workout, but absolutely worth it. One of the best purchases we have ever made.
Jennifer
Great service, great product A helpful conversation with the company confirmed that we had considered the right things when selecting a mattress to purchase. Delivery was ahead of expectation and was carried out professionally, to the room of choice. Most importantly, the mattress provides great support and we no longer wake up with aching backs! We are very pleased with our purchase.
Anne
Excellent service and quality product !

The whole experience from advice on the phone prior to ordering, to the delivery by two helpful and careful gentlemen was excellent. The mattress has taken some getting used to, now both my husband and myself are not just satisfied but very pleased with the purchase.
Jumbo
Great service and great product. This was certainly a spend for me, even though the quality is evident but the product really does feel like an investment. I purchased this mattress after trialing a Simba which had my back in pieces and am happy to say since using this mattress the pain has gone. Staff at John Ryan are knowledgeable and helpful and a credit to the company.

Great customer service from start to finish. Received good initial advice and help from Julie over the phone. Lots of really useful information available to read on the website. Ordering was straightforward. Received follow up email and phone call after order was placed to both confirm order and make sure the mattress we had ordered was the correct one for us. Our delivery by two man team was excellent and professional. Mattress arrived well wrapped. As booked the old mattress was taken away along with all the packaging. Very pleased indeed. The medium firm Artisan Naturals Super King mattress is fabulous. So supportive, warm and comfortable. Thank you.
Julie
Life changing I have had back problems for many years – 3 slipped discs at different times and scoliosis. I had grown accustomed to not sleeping well, and to waking up in the morning desperate to sit up and move around to ease the pain. Our old mattress had begun to sag and I did a lot of research before deciding to order from John Ryan. A lady rang us after we placed the order to check we were buying the right mattress, and it came much more quickly than expected. It’s now been about 6 weeks and I can’t quite believe it. I’m sleeping for hours, I wake with no pain in my back at all, and just having a new mattress has been life changing for me. Thank you John Ryan, we’ll never buy a mattress from anyone else now
Sue
Superb quality mattress. After spending best part of a year researching beds and mattresses, using John Ryan’s brilliant website to guide and advise, we are now sleeping on an Artisan Naturals super king mattress and we are absolutely delighted. We have spent time trying many of the well known, high end mattresses and we consider our Artisan Naturals to be a far better quality than any we tried. The mattress is beautifully made and from the first night sleeping on it, we felt incredibly comfortable and knew, despite our concerns about buying online, that we had made the right decision. Delivery was much quicker than expected and efficient. The whole experience was excellent and the mattress superb quality – thank you.
Jennifer
Have owned an Artisans mattress for 9 years now. The difference vs. first year is unnoticeable. So comfortable and breathable!. Bought another one recently. Durability often less ignored on reviewes and wanted to make sure it is well noted!!
Albert
Mattresses still lovely after 5 years and great customer service I have bought two John Ryan mattresses, about 5 and 6 years ago, and I love them. I am so glad they are lasting as it was claimed they would (not getting all worn out and stabby after 3 years and not very comfortable to start with). Mine is a firm pocket sprung with natural wool fibres, even though they do recomend medium (I have unusual joints and back pain due to a medical issue and this one is right for me, but their online guide is a great place to look for advice). I recall the delivery process, because the company made sure to check I’d ordered the ideal one for me (they still recomend the medium but I’m happy with my selection and they didn’t push), and they made sure the mattress got onto the bed frame and made some recomendations about protecting it. The one I ordered for my partner is a medium pocket sprung and I can’t remember what filling, but they’re happy with it and it’s alright for their ‘princess and the pea’ level sleeping sensitivities (a different medical issue). The company went above and beyond on that delivery, because it was discovered at the last minute that the bed frame my carpenter brother had made for it was the wrong size, and they rearranged delivery for me and were very kind. They also made sure to assess a good route through the property and asked me to send some pictures so they could make sure to deliver the mattress without any harming coming to it (and also hopefully the delivery staff). I’ve noticed when airing out my mattress topper that there’s a couple of loose stitches on mine, I think they’re just holding on a bit of decorating piping, now it occurs to me I was going to ask the company if I should stitch them back on or leave it. As I use a mattress topper and a blanket under to protect my mattress I don’t worry about the bit of decorating piping getting caught on anything and only just remembered it writing this review, good job this prompted me to check up on that. All the structural aspects like the springs and the filling are absolutely top notch. Like really this mattress is so well made. I’m not planning to replace it for at least 5 years, I just went on the John Ryan by Design website to see if I could get any decent free advice about pillows (as they were pretty helpful on mattresses) because my pillows need replacing. The ONLY downside is how heavy they are. I’m really fussy about my mattress getting damaged because I can’t really afford to replace it and it makes a huge difference to my life, however it’s SO HEAVY I can’t move it around by myself. So I’m forever conflicted about asking friends to help me turn my mattress, or not trusting them to move it without bending it. If you have a sleeping partner who loves your mattress just as much as you do and is able bodied you should be fine. Otherwise you’ll need to bribe a trusted friend with tea and cake. I can tell the difference if I delay turning the mattress due to lack of friends to flip it (thanks covid). I recomend using a wool mattress topper on it (or whatever your preference) because the company suggest a mattress protector to stop the mattress getting full of sweat over the many years you’ll be using it basically. And, also, because they way this type of matress is sewn together leaves those tufts that I can’t remember the word for, and those can be a tiny bit lumpy to sensitive sleepers. Maybe I just love my wool mattress topper. My bed is amazingly comfy, firm, soft, supportive, breathable, airs well, never smells, never gets too hot, doesn’t ‘tip’ me into the middle if I have a guest in the bed, never ever ever hurts me or stabs me or causes me weird discomfort of uneven support. It’s just a big, dense, carefully engineered platform of comfort and I hope I can find the perfect pillow to go with it.

Simply the Best! Buying something expensive which you know nothing about and is vital to your health and wellbeing is quite frankly a little scary. Not being able to examine and test the product before parting with your cash could be terrifying. Thank goodness that in this age of low quality products and appalling customer service, businesses like John Ryan by Design still exist. With a website crammed full of really useful information I was so reassured that I had found a bunch of honest craftsmen/women that I stopped my search instantly. When it was time to confirm my order I had very few questions left for the lovely Julie, who checked that I had made the right choice based on weight and sleeping preferences. Delivery updates and service were also great. All in all a very refreshing and stress-free online shopping experience. 6 weeks on and I’m loving my new mattress; back ache is banished and I’m sleeping like a log. Thanks guys for being so awesome. Bottom line: highly recommended.

Second purchase from JR Second purchase from JR, i was unsure first time so bought an origins 2000 which was excellent for 9 years. Bought an Artisan Naturals this time as i have full confidence in JR and its been really comfy and looks as expected very well made

One year on….. I’m reviewing a “Artisan Naturals Mattress – Double Size, Medium” matress delivered at the back end of February 2022. Not really much point in doing a review on delivery, is there? So, 15 months on, the key points are: 1 Firmer than expected. 2 Fairly comfortable. I think I would have preferred something a little softer but I can sleep on anything! 3 At 75Kg, surprisingly heavy and an effort to turn by myself. 4 If there’s been any “sag” it’s been in all the right places! 5 Undoubted quality materials and workmanship. 6 Pricey. I’ve recently had a good nights sleep on soft B&B beds and Youth Hostel beds neither of which can have been expensive. Overall I’m happy I bought it. A special mention to the delivery guys – both Mr Keenn and Mr Able turned up on the day and lived up to their names!
Paul

Excellent service Excellent service. The information online was very helpful and having placed our order we received a telephone call to check the details and ensure we had chosen the right mattress for us. It arrived early, was delivered when advised, all the packaging removed and our old mattress taken away. The whole process went very smoothly. Our new mattress is very comfortable and we are very pleased with it.
Diana
Excellent service John Ryan gave good guidance on choosing the right mattress. Both ordering and delivery were extremely efficient and we are very pleased with the mattress and the fact it has a 10 year guarantee. I would certainly recommend them.
Susan
Best mattress we’ve had First of all, best mattress we’ve ever had! I’ve waited several months before writing this review, but still the mattress is absolutely superb, soft but supportive. My partner is a lot lighter than me, has back shoulder and hip problems especially after having our two kids, and she says it’s the best bed she’s ever slept in, and she now gets a full nights sleep. The ordering process was superb, ordered and paid online but the next day John Ryan contacted us to discuss and confirm the order, gave us measurements to check for access as we had ordered a super king size, this was confirmed and then the delivery date confirmed. Delivery was on the agreed date and time, all was no fuss and straight forward. Bed was assembled and old mattress taken away.
Richard
good decision Having bought a mattress in the past from JohnRyan we knew about long lasting good quality. Great customer service phone call with good advice. Easy online ordering. Delivery was on time, pleasant helpful team, prepared to take all packaging away. Mattress very comfortable as expected. So far so good!
Margaret
Ordering and delivery was easy. Lots of useful info on-line. Spoke to someone who was v helpful and straightforward. Mattress arrived early. How good is it (Artisan Natural)? Only time will tell but so far I like it.
Steven
One mattress just wasn’t enough
Following the success of buying a new mattress from John Ryan earlier in the year, I returned to purchase an additional mattress and new divan. Ian was very helpful and the purchase was easy to make. The new bed and mattress are exactly as described and I now experience very good quality sleep. I must just mention however that it has taken 4 weeks to adjust to the different feel of the mattress but well worth it.
Loraine
There was a lot of useful advice, courteously and patiently given.
There was a lot of very useful information, complete with easy to understand videos, on the website, explaining the quality of various components to a good mattress, which helped me to make the best choice for me.
It was possible, miracle of miracles, to actually phone the company, to receive patient and courteous help with the detail of any points of which I was still a little unsure. As a result I am very pleased with the choice of mattress and for the last 2 months have been getting better sleep.

Really good customer experience and product. Return customer adding an Artisan Natural Kingsize to our spare room, in addition to the Bespoke 002 we use ourselves.

Great Product & Service
Purchased following a recommendation from friends. We were a little reluctant to purchase a new mattress without trying it in a showroom first, however we were pleased with the pre and post sales support and delighted with the mattress. Very comfortable and well made. A quality product that is worth the price paid
A & K
Great Customer Service, Excellent Product.
Good communication, good advice, delivery exactly on schedule, great customer sevice all round. The mattress was more expensive than average, but this is reflected in the quality of the materials and construction methods used, it really is a lovely mattress. Well worth paying the extra, I would definitely recommend.

I bought my King size Artisan naturals mattress a month ago.
It’s amazing.The mattress is so comfortable,I have gone from being up in the night with aches and pains to sleeping the whole night through.
I was pretty much sure that I had bought the right mattress because I’d read everything on the website about other mattresses and the composition. So, I ordered and crossed my fingers.I need not have worried ,a lady called me from the company almost immediately to check with me that I had made the right purchase.
The company also kept me in touch with lead times and the delivery drivers were on time, polite and helpful.

Very happy customer
We came across John Ryan when we were thinking of replacing our old mattress and we’re tempted by a promotion by Premier Inn. We found a very helpful review by John Ryan on their website which drew attention to possible shortcomings with the hotel type mattress. This put us on to John Ryan’s own beds. Their website and advice was extremely clear and helpful and their mattresses very reasonably priced.
The purchase process was quite easy although a telephone conversation/payment was required as their system didn’t seem to cope with the new banking verification procedures. That didn’t particularly matter as the telephone conversation was friendly and helpful.
Delivery and notification of delivery was good.
The mattress is really good and just what we had hoped for.
Haydn
Excellent company
Knowledgeable nice people to speak to and ask for advice. They answered my many questions. It seemed odd buying a mattress without lying on it or seeing it, but they got it right. Beautifully made mattress and very comfortable. Completely sorted out the overheating I had at night.
Thank you

Great mattress, great company
We have had our mattress just over a month now, we bought an Artisan Natural half medium and half firm spring tension in king size.
The customer service from start to finish was great. Everyone I spoke to was helpful and concerned that my choice was the right one for my husband and myself.
Ordering was easy and the company followed up by a confirmation telephone call.
Delivery was amazing, the mattress came earlier than the expected delivery date, the communication by the couriers was brilliant. The mattress was delivered as per their notification, there was plenty of communication between them and us. They quickly took the mattress upstairs, we recycled the packaging, though they were quite prepared to take it away, and they were on to another delivery after us.
The mattress is brilliant, both my husband and myself sleep really well and it has been the best mattress we have had in many years of marriage. Just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears – just right. Great support and also medium amount of softness above. We don’t need a topper as it is very cosy.
I would certainly recommend them and bought without trying was a doddle with their expertise.
Thank you so much to all the staff at John Ryan by Design

Artisan Naturals Mattress and Divan are excellent
We bought Artisan Naturals Mattress – King Size Zip & Link, Medium. We bought the divan as well. We replaced an old mattress and divan from a highly regarded brand which, in all fairness, was excellent prior to the past few years. We left it too long. Back problems meant that I wanted the reduced weight of a smaller mattress to turn over. The pre sales advice was excellent and the advisor was very knowledge. I had never bought a mattress online but was convinced by the argument that lying on something in store for a few minutes was not all that predictive of how one gets on with a mattress over time. The delivery was earlier than expected. The delivery partner was a bit inflexible about delivery timing on the agreed day, but the crew that showed up were very helpful and friendly. The mattress is comfortable and supportive. My back is responding positively! I liked it from the first night. The Zip is fine and one does not really notice it when sleeping. The Divan is nice, drawers work well. We have had it for two months or so. It is too early to attest to how it will wear over many years, but first impressions are good. And I am happy to join the 5* brigade – the reviews reassured me that I could spend what is a considerable sum, sight unseen for a mattress.
NL
An excellent experience all round
I am very happy with the King-size Artisan Naturals mattress I ordered. After just over two months, I can say it is exactly what I was looking for to replace my outgoing thirteen year old single mattress. The quality of the mattress is fantastic, even down to the small details like the precise and tidy stitching
or sturdy handles; which on a king-size, you will definitely be using!
In terms of choosing a mattress, you do have to take a small gamble as you don’t have any way to test it before committing but using the resources available on the website and speaking to the staff after you start your order, you can definitely make an informed decision on which mattress you want.
Delivery was straight-forward too, even with it needing to be delivered to a completely different address due to moving house prior to receiving the mattress. It was great that the old mattress I was using could be taken away and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way too.
After just over two months with my new mattress, I know it was the right choice and haven’t felt it needed any time to settle in as it has been wonderfully comfortable every time I have slept on it.
Overall, an excellent experience all round and I will gladly suggest John Ryan by Design to anyone who might be looking for a new mattress!
Anthony
Excellent service and great mattress
I spent hours Googling mattresses and still remained undecided in my choice. John Ryan’s website is amazing and so informative. I was a little concerned about ordering a mattress unseen and online, but the trial period gave me confidence to buy.
We have been delighted with our mattress. It is very comfortable and of top quality. It is heavy to turn, but that’s probably down to the heavy duty springs and fillings.
Highly recommended

Approx 50 Days In, Still Loving It.
Approx 50 days in. Really happy with the mattress. I got the Artistan Naturals with the medium base, was a bit worried it would be too soft for me as I like a firm mattress but it’s plenty firm enough. I love it. Delivery was painless and feedback/advice from John Ryan very good. Worth the extra money.

Great service and products!
I was recommended JRD by a friend, so I knew the products were excellent. But I was pleasantly surprised by the honesty and consistency of service I received. They were thorough, calling me to talk through my order once I had placed it to make sure I was making the most informed decision. The bed itself has been excellent, and it only getting more comfortable with time.
Overall, I have zero hesitations recommending JRD to anyone looking for a high quality bed!

When we first started looking for a replacement bed, we visited the usual retail park suppliers, and then discovered the John Ryan Website. I had to convince myself that the gamble to buy a product without testing or viewing would be worthwhile. I should have just trusted the reviews and gone for it. We suffered lower back pain for a long time on an old “Posturepedic” mattress and since we’ve have this new one, we’ve been so much better. I feel like I’ve got the rolls Royce of beds now. very happy.
When I disposed of our old mattress, I took a look inside and was shocked to see cheap springs and around an inch of compressed foam, and some sort of grey material. Goes to show.
All I can say, hand on heart is that I’m both relieved and very very happy with the service and product from John Ryan. The service was excellent, and the bed, has been a revelation. Love the bed. Great company. Ralph

Exceptional quality beds and customer service!
Purchasing a bed online, is not something I believed I would ever do. Way too risky!! After a lot of time researching quality beds to suit our needs, I came across John Ryan and saw there was a 60 day no quibble return. After a conversation with the team at John Ryan I bought a bed from their Artisan range and we are delighted with it! It is high quality and we have never slept so well. Service and delivery was exceptional too. I would highly recommend JR by design.

Great service and great mattress
Great service and great mattress. I feel like I’ve never slept well until now, but I did have really cheap mattresses before. I got the Artisan Naturals and it’s lovely and warm and just right. I swear my back pain has reduced since sleeping in this bed. Love the sheen and finish on the mattress too. It’s a heavy fella! I say go for it, so glad I did.

Absolutely amazing!
This company is absolutely 1st rate. They have sat on the phone with me for probably what amounts to hours answering my questions, putting me at ease and generally being as helpful as any human beings could be. I purchased the superking Artisan naturals zip and link. It is not a cheap bed so I really wanted to be sure of what I was buying. Thanks to the lovely support these guys provided, my wife and I have had the best nights sleep we’ve ever had and we’d gladly buy from them again. In addition, the zip and link gives you a vast array of configuration options so you’ll definitely find something to suit all sleeping habbits. Thoroughly recommended.
Ed
Really fabulous mattress
Really fabulous mattress. Both my husband and I have enjoyed going back to a traditionally made mattress that suits our requirements. Thank you so much JRBD team for advising us and helping with the selection. Really worth paying that little bit extra to get something so good that will last us a long time.

Go for it! The best mattress I’ve ever slept on.
Having purchased many, many mattresses over the years and never seeming to get it right, I must admit I was a bit doubtful about purchasing a mattress online.
The team at John Ryan are excellent and guide you through the process to make sure you purchase the right mattress for you.
I wish I’d discovered John Ryan years ago. I could have saved ££££ buying so many rubbish mattresses and gained so many hours of great sleep!
Just go for it!

Extremely comfortable and supportive mattress
Received very good advise and help in choosing the appropriate mattress which was delivered on time and the old mattress taken away. The new mattress is extremely comfortable and supportive. We are thoroughly pleased with the workmanship; it looks and feels luxurious and we hope it will give us many years of use.

Clare
5* customer service
I should start by saying that my new bed frame and mattress are brilliant. The velvet frame looks great and the mattress (an artisan natural) is so comfortable that I’m wondering why I didn’t buy one years ago. However, the absolute stand out point of John Ryan By Design is the really good customer service. From my first conversation the person on the end of the phone was excellent and gave me great advice and recommendations. Having read many of the questions on the website I managed to confuse myself – again the person I spoke to was professional and helped me with my many questions. By the time I was ready to purchase my mattress I was completely confident with my decision.
Delivery was prompt and the guys delivering (during covid restrictions) were helpful and courteous.
There was a slight dent in the bed frame when it arrived, but it has since flattened out. What was great here was the team at John Ryan By Design were reassuring and helpful and again I felt confident with my purchase.
In summary- a great product with top class customer service accompanying it.

Great mattress and great customer service
We really like our new mattress (Artisan Naturals)- it is really comfortable and we didn’t really need any time to get used to it, we loved it from the start.
The customer service was great and provided good advice which enabled us to choose the right mattress. The delivery was quicker than expected. Very happy customers, thank you 😊

Amazingly comfortable mattress
Our Superking Artisan Naturals mattress is the most comfortable mattress we’ve ever slept on. It’s like sleeping on a cloud that holds you perfectly in place. I no longer get a burning in my hips and my husband no longer has backache in the morning. We thought it would take a while to get used to but from the first day our sleep improved massively.

This is the best mattress I have ever owned. The advice was fantastic and the service was spot on. I was waking up in pain before I got this mattress, I tried toppers, I tried the Emma mattress, neither worked. I called these guys for advice, they recommended a mattress type and it has been spot on so far, I’m back to a good nights’ sleep. Eternally grateful.
Catherine
Wonderful
When I ordered, I got a phone call from the John Ryan team to check a few details and make sure the mattress I ordered meets my needs, and after speedy delivery of about four weeks it was everything I expected. Weighty, maybe a little firmer than I expected but clearly well made and very comfortable.
Daniel
I’m just so livid that I wasted 50 years and so much money buying inferior beds. My new purchase is sublime, total quality, even the headboard is a conversation topic. Even if you have to borrow the money, buy a John Ryan bed, it’s not a purchase, it’s an investment in your health and well-being. Nigel PS, the delivery guys were brilliant, ten out of ten for them too!
Nigel
It was a pleasure dealing with John Ryan by Design Ltd, they are a very efficient company who listen to what the customer wants. I would recommend anyone looking for a good bed to visit their website.
Susan
I was a bit sceptical about buying a mattress without trying it. But your website, and a visit to a shop where I realised I didn’t know what I was lying on anyway, persuaded me otherwise.
Go on take a risk….. what have you got to lose?

I had been looking for a zip and link mattress, mainly motivated by the hope of having an uninterrupted nights sleep. I went to a well known department store to look for one, tried one or two out and learned just a little about materials used in mattresses, number of springs etc. I decided to look for more information and widen the search. I found a very informative piece on mattresses online, what you should look for, materials used, standards of mattress and I found the authors who were John Ryan by Design Ltd. I felt like I was taking a leap of faith with them being an online retailer so I called them and spoke to a lovely lady in the office, she went through a lot of detail with me in terms of what I need from my mattress and I settled on an Artisan Naturals Mattress – King Size Zip & Link, Medium softness. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this mattress. It is incredibly comfortable, I barely experience any movement in the bed when my husband moves and I am getting a great nights sleep. Highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again.

Excellent, helpful service, and a really comfy mattress and well built frame. Thanks loads
Dan
Absolutely fantastic company!!
Absolutely fantastic company and service! I have had a few pocket sprung, supposedly high end mattresses/beds but sadly, none have been that great. The mattress I have bought and it has been in use for a month now, I can honestly say it is the best mattresses I have ever had! And I have spine and hip problems that have improved a little since sleeping on this mattresses!! Both my husband and myself, have slept far better on this mattress. Looking at the quality of the mattress, I see no reason as to why my opinion will change! Thank you John Ryan, I will definitely be buying from you again.
Sandra
Artisan Naturals Mattress…
I brought the Artisan Naturals Mattress it’s much more comfortable, supportive and better made than my old memory foam. Very pleased with it after a month of use. So much so that it also convinced my mother to buy a mattress from them too.
Ian
Outstanding product and service
My mother, who has no internet, needed a new mattress. I had to choose, buy and trust that the delivery and old mattress recycling would happen without experiencing the product itself. Mum is thrilled with the comfort and was fulsome in her praise of the delivery team who were reassuring and efficient. Thank you John Ryan for your excellent communication which had to happen in two directions, with me the orderer and my mum who is the recipient. They even managed to work around a delivery date change. Outstanding!
Anna
Artisan Naturals Mattress, Excellent Service
We bought the Artisan Naturals king size mattress. Having now had the mattress a month we are very happy with it. It is very supportive and comfortable. John Ryan were very helpful when I called to ask questions and were happy to recommend the mattress they thought would suit us best.
Although we didn’t use it, the returns/exchange policy gave us peace of mind knowing we had 60 days to ensure we were happy with the mattress, rather than the limited time you get to try one in a shop. Their website is also very helpful with lots of excellent information. We were very pleased with both product and service we received and would recommend John Ryan By Design.
Paul
Great customer service product types was fully explained to ensure we got the best mattress for ourselves.

5/5 experience
Best company I’ve dealt in a while. I decided to give a go because of all the good reviews and I couldn’t be happier. Before purchasing I called and spoke to Gary which was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. After buying the bed I received a call from the company to check our heights and weights in order to make sure we had choose the right mattress. The mattress was delivered a week earlier. I was contacted by the team and offered a delivery slot of my choice. The mattress itself seemed superior quality but was a bit harder for my liking although my husband loved it and now 3 months later I can say I’m also getting used to. Would def recommend John Ryan and use again in the future.
Adriana
Invest in your sleep!
Absolutely amazing product. Hadn’t realised how debilitating my old mattress was – woke up in pain, back condition worsening more and more. Enquired at this company and explained what the problem was and what I was currently sleeping on, they give me in-depth advice on what my next mattress should be. Made my purchase on the same day, got my mattress and bed a couple of weeks early and have slept beautifully since. really couldn’t fault this and have had over a month of amazing sleep. Thank you!! Well worth the investment!
Emily
Great service and product. Just the right firmness and comfort, enjoying lots of comfortable nights of sleep
Sidwell
Everything from the customer service and after care to the amazing product itself has been nothing less than exemplary.
Matthew
Absolutely delighted with our new mattress – the Artisan Naturals in medium tension. We have slept on it for a month now and we are both getting a great nights sleep with no aches and pains in the morning. We have tried several mattresses over the past five years in trying to find something that was comfortable for a hyper mobile spine and compatible with the excess heat of the menopausal years. This mattress is great for both. When I rang for advice before placing an order, the Customer Service advisor was very knowledgeable and helpful and the website too was full of the detailed info needed to make the right decision. The specialist delivery company used was great too – very cheerful, polite and courteous even though they had to struggle to get the mattress up our narrow stairs. Highly recommend this mattress and company.
Clare
very good experience all around.
First discovered John Ryan when staying in a holiday home and immediately
fell in love with the mattress – the best i have ever experienced.
When i came back from my stay I contacted John Ryan for advice and had a very informative conversation on the strength of which i placed a order.
It arrived when it was supposed to.
I honestly look forward to going to bed now – firm but comfortable mattress
i cant recommend it or the Company enough
Dave
Excellent service from start to finish
Georgina
Exceptional honourable customer service.
Having encountered a problem with delivery that was at no fault of JR we were immediately dealt with by Ryan Kerr who acted swiftly, comprehensively and with much sympathy to remedy the situation. Having spoken with us on the phone he dealt with us in a most honourable, generous and kindly way. Two months in and we are really happy with our Artisan Naturals mattress and the customer centred service of this brilliant company.
Robert
This was the first time I have ordered a mattress online.
after online research. decided it would be John Ryan
the product arrived on time, and was ably handled and
assembled by keen and able, a play on the company name.
I will certainly be ordering from this company for my next
complete bed in the near future
Allan
Excellent pre sales staff
Phone conversation with sales staff to discuss mattress options for desired firmness and price . Staff recommended trying cheaper / firmer option first (Artisan Naturals) based on our weights and heights which both my wife and I have been delighted with. Delivery was within the month timeline quoted. Mattress has multiple hand grips on each side to help with turning and flipping.
Justin
John Ryan were more than helpful in our search for a new mattress. We spoke to them several times over several months with questions, all of which were honestly answered and very helpful. So much so that we ordered a new artisan mattress.
Raymond
Faultless service from ordering to delivery, product is excellent.
Highly recommended.
Steve
The staff were very helpful and gave us excellent information via the phone. The ETOA, was correct, and delivery was on time and swift. Well done John Ryan.
Lynn
Got good service which is what I would expect from using a reputable company
Janney
From the moment I landed on the John Ryan website with loads of free useful advice to the first nights sleep its been an exceptional service throughout. A great product and at very competitive pricing for the luxury goods you receive. I cannot recommend them enough!
Playford
I stumbled across John Ryan by Design Ltd (JRD) when researching quality mattresses. The familiar names all popped up together with a range of review sites. The latter disappointed me because of their apparent devotion to synthetic materials, i.e. memory foam, and my partner and I had no desire to go down that road again. JRD first appeared in my search in the context of providing technical insight into mattress design which I immediately clicked on. I subsequently discovered the most comprehensive product information I have ever seen on a retail website. This is authoritative, provides detailed answers to hundreds of customer questions and honest comparisons between their products and big name (more expensive) competitors, in particular Vispring. We narrowed down our options (both side sleepers) and I called the JRD team to discuss our shortlist. Very helpful and friendly they were with no push to commit us to the most expensive offering. We decided to extend our budget to the Artisan Naturals mattress in king size and we are delighted we did: I can now sleep on my injured right shoulder for the first time in years. The quality is simply first class but I should point out that it is somewhat challenging to move / turn over due to size and weight. Purchasing a top quality handmade mattress on the web is obviously a risk, but we were reassured by JRD’s 60 day no quibble return / exchange guarantee and the company’s excellent Trust Pilot reviews. Delivery was on time and the mattress was very well packaged. Excellent all round and highly recommended.
Ian
Excellent service. Website is full of information, then staff happy to spend time fully explaining differences in mattresses and making recommendations. Mattress was then delivered on time. Getting the super king mattress up our tight stairs was difficult but carefully and cheerfully managed by delivery team from Keen and Able. Mattress is super comfy and wonderfully supportive for our dodgy backs. Would thoroughly recommend.
Briege
Great company to deal with . Had three conversations with different members of staff before I made my purchase . Everyone was friendly and very helpful advising me on my final choice of bed and mattress. I was kept fully informed of timescales for delivery and the delivery company used were very professional and kept me informed about how and when the delivery would take place. The bed is absolutely beautiful and so comfortable . We chose an Artisan naturals mattress in medium tension with a sprung divan base and Forbes headboard in Ivory chenille . The colour in beautiful and the mattress is so comfortable . I find myself looking forward to having early nights now and find it difficult to get up in the morning it’s so comfortable ! Everything is beautifully made and feels a quality product . Very pleased with the whole package so far !
Janet
A perfect example of what a business and product should be
Having done a lot of research and read Trustpilot reviews we rang to ask which of two mattresses they would recommend (one was about £150 more). We were told to go for the cheaper one as it met our needs better.
They asked us to send photos of our hallway to double check the mattress would fit up the stairs during delivery- something we hadn’t thought of but turned out not to be an issue.
Fast forward 3/4 weeks and the delivery firm contacted us to let us know it was ready for delivery. They turned up on time as promised (ringing when 30 mins away) and delivered the mattress to the bedroom for us (removing all packaging). the delivery duo were polite and COVID-safe.
The mattress itself is incredibly comfy and we are extremely happy we paid for what we really wanted (Artisan Naturals).
John Ryan deserve every bit of success they get- they are an example to good, non-pushy customer service and a great product end-to-end, something increasingly rare. We will definitely purchase from them again.
James
Great Service
Artisan Naturals Super king Zip Link mattress. Great service from John Ryan and super product. Very pleased.
Jackie
Text book – mattress geeks AND great service!
From start to finish this was a textbook great experience…despite a delay due to our frame material being out of stock. It is not the first time I have purchased from John Ryan by Design Ltd… we are now on our 4th mattress (for 4 separate beds). This time we bought the bed frame and mattress together. I spoke to the very helpful Julie a couple of times and another chap (sorry cannot remember his name) and both were helpful in checking our order and letting us know that the fabric we had ordered was delayed. I was advised that although we had chosen a medium tension that the frame may make the feel of the bed a little firmer and advised us what to do if this was the case and we needed to ‘soften’ the feel a little. They really do know all about mattresses. The delivery crew were efficient and as friendly as the pandemic restrictions allowed and this was despite delivering to the top floor of our townhouse – cheers all round! The mattress is heavy (Artisans Natural) so the only worry I have is about turning it regularly!
Li
Excellent service. Awesome mattress. Best I ever slept on….highly recommend.
Daisy
Excellent service, and continue to be delighted with mattress 6 months later
I was very impressed by the service offered by John Ryan by Design Ltd. I spoke to two people to help me decide which sort of mattress was the right one for us (we already had a bed base supplied with a mattress by ‘someone for beds’ [I’d hate to see the ones they’re against]) and both could not have been more helpful. We anticipated a lengthy delay because of Covid-19, but the mattress was delivered and installed a month later, the old mattress being taken away for us. It’s a little early to say whether the mattress is suitable – we’ve only had it for a week or so, but the initial impression is very good. It doesn’t have memory foam, so you don’t wake up feeling like you’ve spent the night wedged in a sauna. It’s supportive and comfortable. You can both rotate it (as you are supposed to do with mattresses), and – unusually these days – flip it over, thus getting a longer life out of it. Our sleep has greatly improved and we wake up feeling more refreshed. More to the point, it has eased our aches and pains tremendously, and as I suffer from arthritis and osteoporosis that is a huge relief. Because of that I did hesitate a little before buying a product that I was unable to try out because of purchasing online, but really, the Artisan Naturals king size we bought seems superb.
The whole process of ordering was made easy for us; the guys who delivered it were pleasant and courteous; they came into the house with overshoes, masks and gloves on to see where they were taking it, and were very careful not to damage our newly-decorated hallway.
All in all, a sterling team and what I would tentatively describe (as it’s very early days yet) as an excellent product. If I have cause to change my mind within the next few months for any reason, I am assured by the site that they will do their best to remedy the situation by changing the mattress, and really, you can’t say fairer than that!
UPDATE: We’ve now had our bed for 6 months, and we continue to be pleased with it. It’s only when you have had a poor experience with a firm just after your money that you appreciate the care, customer service, and above all, the quality of the end product that John Ryan by Design give. We both sleep well, and my back pain has reduced considerably (osteoporosis, herniated discs and arthritis won’t go away, unfortunately, but a bad bed made it immeasurably worse!). When this mattress finally gives up the ghost, I’ll definitely be back for another…but that might be years yet!
Margaret
Helpful and efficient service
Helped me decide what mattress to choose, delivered within the timescale they said and delivery guys were helpful.

First Class Service from Start to Finish
I came across John Ryan by Design after waiting 4 months for delivery of a Pure Tranquility mattress and bed from Bensons for Beds which had been cancelled three times on the actual day of delivery (once without any advance warning). In utter frustration at the appalling Bensons customer service, I cancelled my order, received a full refund and made enquiries with John Ryan by Design. Not only did I receive prompt responses to my email enquiries, I also received personal telephone contact and follow-up advice. I decided on my mattress of choice, placed the order and received delivery earlier than I expected. I only wish I had come across John Ryan by Design 4 months earlier than I did. I would not hesitate to recommend them – first class from start to finish. Oh …. and the mattress is top quality and an absolute delight to sleep on!
Paul
Super mattress
I bought straight from the website using the very handy mattress guide, chose my mattress and paid. I then received a call just to make sure that the mattress I had chosen was the right one for my needs. What great customer service! I have. Ow been sleeping on my artisan mattress for two weeks and can say without reservation what an absolutely great nights sleep I am getting, it’s super comfy and supportive. Also a thumbs up for the delivery team.

Worried about buying online? Just do it!
We recently purchased a mattress (November 2020) from John Ryan. Having navigated the complex world of mattresses – who knew – we came across John Ryan and their customers seemed very happy. After looking at the very extensive and detailed website we decided to take a leap of faith and order online, we were reassured by the 60 day policy to change the mattress and the guarantee, and although expensive we thought it would be worth it for a great night’s sleep. The customer care team were very good, and advised us on our purchase. We were recommended the Artisan Bespoke 004 but in the end ordered the Artisan 1500 as it was more affordable and we quite like a firm bed. Delivery was about 4 weeks. There was plenty of follow up information on how to care for your mattress and delivery team were well organised and on time. When the mattress arrived it was obvious that it was of very high quality and well constructed, but after a few weeks we realised that it really was a bit too firm and not giving us the amazing night’s sleep we’d hoped for. We gave it a good few weeks as recommended, but there was little improvement. Reluctantly, as we didn’t want to inconvenience the company, I contacted the customer team to let them know. They could not have been more helpful and organised a replacement quickly and with no quibbles – the Artisan Naturals was with us within 4 weeks. We have had this new mattress less than a week and it’s amazing, so cosy and comfortable. We have a new problem now – we can’t get out of bed! I waited to write this review to assess the whole process and I can truthfully say that the experience has been brilliant. If you are worried about investing in a mattress online and from this company, don’t be, it really has been a pleasure and totally worth it.

Bed ordered made and delivered in under four weeks. Delivered and assembled in room and the best nights sleep I’ve ever had. Would buy all over again if I had to!

John Ryan Artisans natural medium
we purchased an Artisans natural mattress king size. Our last mattress contained memory foam -comfortable but impossible to sleep on because it does not breath. We are glad we chose king size-the extra room is worth it. John Ryan’s team provided excellent advice and in fact steered us away from the more expensive mattress. We were advised to get the medium mattress and tension. I was worried it would not be firm enough for me but the medium actually is ideal. My wife is prone to backache and she too is delighted that the mattress is giving her the support she needs. We did go to John Lewis for the mattress topper-a natural cotton one. No point in spending a fortune on a natural mattress and using a nylon topper,

Absolutely over the moon
Absolutely over the moon with our new mattress, best nights sleep I’ve had in a very long time, probably ever. Excellent service and delivery was on time and professional.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend.
Richard
Great service from start to finish
Great service from start to finish. I studied the John Ryan website which has a host of bed related information including a very easy to use online mattress and bed selection and ordering service,although I found it very helpful and reassuring to speak to Julie on the phone before confirming my order.The order was an Artisan Naturals Super King, zip & link bed,medium mattresses and headboard and inspite of Covid restrictions, the bed was ready for delivery in the 4 weeks quoted.
I then received an email from a firm called Keen & Able who were apparently going to deliver my bed. I had never heard of this firm previously and thought at first it was perhaps spam mail until doing a quick check online myself. Once I had contacted them, a date was arranged and 2 men & van arrived as promised on the agreed date with my bed.The men wore masks, gloves and shoe covers on entering my house and within 30 minutes the bed was fully set up with headboard fitted.
The bed itself has a quality feel and look to it and both my wife and myself have been thrilled at how comfortable the mattress has been so far, in fact everything that had been promised from the start from John Ryan.
Of course the love it or return it mattress guarantee for 60 days has to be the icing on the cake!

So pleased with my purchases from John…
So pleased with my purchases from John Ryan by Design. I previously bought a mattress from them for my son & his wife which was of excellent quality & comfort. I recently purchased an Artisan Naturals super king size mattress for my daughter & her husband who are equally as pleased with the quality & comfort. I originally found their website after doing lots of research on different brands & was absolutely amazed at how informative & ‘thorough’ their guidance is on all things to consider & compare when buying a mattress. Have also spoken to them & they are very nice & helpful, & it makes a change to find a company who actually ‘deliver’ on all the expectations I had. I was originally very wary about buying a mattress on line without being able to ‘try it out.’ I’m glad I went ahead as I have every confidence in the products & service from John Ryan & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Alison
1st class service
1st class service, I had considered JohnRyan 6 years ago when I need a new mattress, their website impressed me with the Q and A, ultimately I decided to go with a John Lewis mattress at that time. Whilst that mattress was expensive and terrific at the beginning it has not lasted as much as it should have. Against my better judgement my wife then wanted a Simba pro hybrid, lasted less than 30 days as both of us hated it, worst mattress ever.
Now to revisit JohnRyan, worked out the best mattress for our sleep pattern/weight etc, ordered easily on their website, follow up call to talk through the purchase and make sure it was right for us. Delivered earlier than was expected and old mattress uplifted. Altogether a positive experience, the new mattress is 10 days old and has been terrific from day 1, really comfortable and sleep pattern is good, no aches or pain (I was crippled using the SIMBA). I realise some people may feel uneasy in buying a mattress they can’t try out in a showroom (as I was) but I would recommend they trust their instinct and go for it, will highly recommend.
John
Highly recommended
I can’t fault the service, or the bed! From my first conversation with the customer services team to the delivery of the mattress, communication has been exemplary- friendly, helpful and swift. And as for the mattress?! Simply amazing. I wish I’d bought one years ago…..
Gail
Do it
Seen them recommended on a computer forum strangely and took the plunge on an Artisan Naturals after returning a Simba Hybrid Pro. Service was excellent and the call to ensure the mattress was tailored to my needs was a nice touch. It’s super comfy, very supportive and has definitely help my wife and I get a good nights sleep again.
Bryan
Trust your head … this really is a quality product!
Took us over a year to make the decision to order an Artisan Naturals Mattress from John Ryan. We’d never spent so much on a mattress in 31 years of marriage but we were impressed by the informative detail regarding the mattress construction and the insight into the way mattresses are sold and decided to treat ourselves.
Delivery was within the 28 days advised and delivery service was good.
We find the feel of the mattress really good and are getting better sleep despite the warm nights … not sure we’re looking forward to flipping the mattress in two weeks time … (75kg is a clear indication of how well built this mattress is)
If you’re waivering then take it from us … go with the head … don’t worry about buying a product you can’t lie on before purchase … trust John Ryan … you won’t regret it … we really should have bought this a year ago!
Martin
Great service and great mattress

Still happy after two years!
This is more of a long-term review, as it’s now nearly two years since I ordered an Artisan Naturals mattress in ‘double’ size.
Firstly, the ordering experience – the amount of information on the web site can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it is well worth reading and digesting the facts. Interaction with the staff was very helpful in confirming my choice. The delivery itself was smooth and on time.
Secondly the product itself – after two years use it still feels pretty much ‘as new’. I do rotate and turn it regularly, and am so pleased that I went for a double-sided mattress rather than a no-turn one from the high-street stores. It is quite heavy (a tribute to the quality construction) and a little difficult to turn on my own but worth doing, and I can report that any settlement over those two years is pretty minimal. I do now use a third-party mattress topper to give a little extra softness, but this was more because one became available rather than any real need.
So in short, I’m definitely a satisfied customer, and would happily recommend John Ryan by Design for the quality of your service, and especially for the quality of the product.
Customer
Excellent information
Excellent information, service and bed. The only mattress company that really explained mattress technologies and options to me in a clear way. Very pleased!
Jonathan
Excellent mattress – pleased with my purchase
I spent quite some time researching which mattress to get as I had tried some mattresses in a box which only gave me back ache. With my many questions, they always replied on email/spoke on the phone and when mattresses could pick up again after the factory closed for a few weeks, the lead time from getting a call to say they are open to delivery was far quicker than expected. The fact that you can return too (i cant see that happening this time!) just adds that security to the purchase without being able to test in a showroom. I would certainly use again and would recommend highly.Thanks all at JR

I write this review after a year of…
I write this review after a year of sleeping on my divine bed. I have no regrets and can wholeheartedly say that this is one of the best purchases and decisions I have ever made. I did a lot of research before I made this purchase. I suffer from chronic back pain and I really wanted a bed high off the floor so it wasn’t so much strain on my back getting in and out of bed. I read their bed buying guide from front to back and from back to front and called them up about three times before I went for a medium artisan natural ottoman bed. This was just an extra bonus having the storage space underneath.
My days of waking up in a bad mood are over.
My back pain has got significantly less painful and I have a better quality of sleep since I purchased this bed.
Samantha
Very well made, comfortable, good delivery, overall great value.
The bed and base itself (both Artisan range) is very well made and even though they say it could take a few weeks to get used to it we found it very comfortable from the start. We went for the medium tension, my wife is 9st and I am 12st and it’s not too firm for her at all. It did have a bit of a “new” smell but it’s not overpowering as we aired it for the recommended 8hrs and for the first 2x weeks we’ve taken off all the pillows and folded the duvet towards the end of the bed so it can air as much as possible. Of course, it’s still early days as we’ve only had it for 2x weeks but I’m sure it will last for years to come.
The initial phone call to confirm the order and the way the support staff answered my email queries were spot on. The 2x man delivery crew were very efficient and had the bed assembled in no time and took all the packaging with them. The only thing they could improve on is to possibly send a text message or a phone call with an approximate delivery time. I knew it would be delivered on a Saturday and we were excited for our new bed but I was rather surprised when the doorbell rang at 7:55am. Fortunately for us we have a spare room so we cleared the main bedroom ready for the delivery the night before. If you thought you’d have your last sleep on your old bed and clear up in the morning you could be caught by surprise:) Still, it wasn’t a big deal for us and I’d bet most customers wouldn’t get their delivery that early in the morning.
The only reason I didn’t give John Ryan by Design 5 stars is because the website described the drawers of the Artisan base being 9″ in height when in fact it is 7″ and the height is the measurement of the front panel not the actual inside of the drawer. With the front panel obviously being larger to cover the drawer the actual inside measurement of mine is about 4.72″ (12cm) so just be aware of the space. The website has since been updated.
Would I still recommend John Ryan by Design, absolutely. I spent almost 6 weeks researching bed in a box mattresses and other traditional spring mattresses and no manufacturer gives you the precise detail and GSM of what’s actually inside your mattress, not even some of the bespoke companies that charge 4x times as much.

Plenty of information on web site to help select the correct mattress within your price range. They double check by phone to ensure all is accurate and suitable. Mattress delivered on appointed day and within time frame and taken to room of choice. All packaging removed.
As to the mattres, an Artisan Naturals, seems well made with no noticeable odour and very comfortable. See what it is like in a years time as only time will tell.

Simple process, helpful team, fabulous product
From initial enquiry to delivery, the process was smooth and professional. The two guys that delivered and assembled were great and had obviously had a very long day but were still helpful and professional. Love our new bed apart from it may need a topper to help it feel slightly softer.

Simply Wonderful! Buy with confidence
Mattress: Artisan Naturals Super King
Bed: Artisan Base, Pocket Sprung Unit, Charcoal Bracken
Headboard: Georgia
The first thing that struck me about JRbD was how open, honest and informative their website is. The no quibble 60 night return & refund policy and 10yr guarantee on our specific mattress allowed me to buy a luxury mattress and bed with absolute confidence.
The sales and delivery experience was first class; they really go out of their way to make sure you’ve chosen the right mattress and that it can be delivered without a hitch. Delivery and assembly was courteous, quick and packaging was taken away.
Two months and two mattress turns in… So how are we finding our new mattress and bed? It’s honestly the best night’s sleep my wife and I have ever had, and it’s still improving. After a busy day, nothing better than relaxing in to this wonderful mattress and I personally don’t want to get out of bed in the morning anymore!
I can wholeheartedly recommend JRbD and I have already unreservedly passed on recommendations to friends and family.
Thank You JRbD!

Couldn’t fault the buying process with this company. They offered helpful advice and phoned back to check our order was correct for us and to give information on delivery. Everything delivered as planned and we are pleased with our purchase. Top marks for customer care .

The best sleep we have had in years.
The best sleep we have had in years. The mattress is well made and looks fantastic. I have only had it a week and already it is the comfiest mattress I have ever had. The customer service at John Ryan By Design is second to none, they are always happy to answer any questions and they were in touch to arrange delivery in the time frame we were given. Delivery was also flawless. The guys from the delivery company kept us updated as to when our mattress was going to arrive. They were quick and efficient getting our mattress up the stairs and to the room of our choice. They were nice and polite and even took the rubbish away with them. We would definitely recommend John Ryan By Design to our family and friends.

Ordering and delivery went exactly to…
Ordering and delivery went exactly to plan. The delivery drivers put the new mattress directly on the bed because it was so heavy and advised on airing.
The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because we’ve only slept in the mattress for a week and it’s very early to rate it although it’s very comfortable so far.
I was nervous about spending over £1000 on an item I hadn’t tried or seen but my experience so far gives me confidence I’ve made a good decision.

Excellent all round.
I am extremely happy with the mattress I bought (Artisan Naturals). Obviously it is a risk buying online with no ability to try out beforehand. Having done literally months of research and trying mattresses in loads of different shops I ended up none the wiser about what to buy and kept coming back to the John Ryan site for information and advice, so in the end decided to chance it and buy one from this company which turned out to be a very good decision.
Excellent customer service, good communication with delivery drivers and VERY, VERY comfortable night’s sleep. Thank you John Ryan.

John Ryan – A Hidden Gem
Are they worth it, are reviews worth the paper they are written on. Well after spending over a decade living outside of the UK and buying a bespoken mattress in New Zealand the country in which we made our home we thought it was worth the money. After our beloved mattress wasn’t for us anymore we decided to seek a new one, wow I had this challenge to find one.. Forgetting how many choice we have in this country, with all this new fan dangled technology and all these different types it’s not a quick decision as it’s like a pair of shoes you have to try them to see if they’re right for you. You also know that at first they seem lovely in the shop but once you wear them for a bit the blisters appear and they’re the pair you don’t want to wear as you’re not sure you want to endure the pain. But you do as you firstly need them and you know at the end of the day the pain is worth it and once they have been broken in they’re the most comfortable thing you have ever had and you really don’t want to wear anything else. Luckily with a pair of shoes you can purchase several pairs and have a spare but with a mattress it’s a similar thing you need to break it in, you forget about this when buying and also the fact that when you’re testing them out in the shop you forget how many thousands of people have laid on that bed before you and how soft it is in comparison to the one you end up with. So our search for a new mattress began, so on the internet I went a looking for the ideal one, nearly in tears because it wasn’t going to be an easy and straight forward task. All these new types I had to wade my way through read up on them and then research as many as I could. Now that’s good but can you find the one you want or several on your list in one shop and that shop be local, the answer is no. You have to shop around and that’s what I did. I went to a couple of bed shops as local to me as possible and had the sales assistants come out with their sales spiel as they do, and you kind of get drawn in and not thinking that they are taking you from the cheapest bed to the most expensive one, and at the end of it you walk away thinking wow that’s what I have got to spend to get a good nights sleep. Not sure I want to spend that much, and knowingly know that that person will end up with a big commission in their pocket as they have convinced you that this is the right one for you. Well trick is go alone don’t take your partner as you can use that as an excuse not to buy. Don’t fall for the spiel, go around the shop testing out the beds yourself and narrowing it down to the ones you might be interested in. Don’t just lay on it for a few seconds, no lay on it as you would lay on your bed to go to sleep in the position you’d go to sleep in and stain it for a long time to get comfortable, and remember these have had many a people lay on them before you therefore they are softer than the one which arrives and you have to break it in. It always seems like when you go into a bed shop you forget these rules. You don’t have to buy straight away you can walk away and try not to be drawn in by all these terminologies these sales people give you and go to shops like John Lewis that their sales persons aren’t on commission and give you the spiel without the pressure, and they leave you in peace to test out their mattresses but are around if you need to question them.
After this I carried on researching on the internet and found one of these 100 days hybrid ones on special so we thought why not test it out what have we got to loose. Well little did I know we had a lot to loose, it arrived and we laid on it after the set period we were given after it arrived and thought wow can’t wait to go to bed tonight and sleep on that. From the first night I tossed and turned and was awake most of the night having to wake up and make a conscious decision on my position and each time I needed to rollover and change I woke up to do that rather than the natural movement you do in your sleep without waking. I woke up with hip and backache, on reading thought well this is like wearing a new pair of shoes and getting those blisters, my body getting used to the new mattress. Well as days turned into weeks and weeks into months, I was finding I was barely sleeping properly and waking with the most excruciating back pain that I was struggling to put shoes on without being in pain, sitting for too long made it worse and having to take tablets during the day to relieve the pain but I persevered through it in the hope it’ll improve. But sadly it didn’t I did however notify the manufacturers at the beginning of the purchase within the first few weeks and they said it may not be for us but give it time to settle. We found out that the one we had had delivered was faulty so they swapped it for a new one freezing the 100 day period, gave us a new one and restarted that trial, but again I still had issues with my back and hubby issues with his shoulder and neck. Despite lack of sleep I slept really well when we did but was the pain worth it no, so that one went back but before it did we had to find a replacement, John Ryan appeared in my research which I had seen it before and wish I had just gone to this one in the first place and not having to spend this time on the hybrid one giving me pain. But I can’t turn the clocks back however I do know that those types of mattresses aren’t for me and hubby.
After finding John Ryan’s website and reading as much as I could, finding reviews about their mattresses not only on their own website but outside. Reading upon the information given, I was astounded by how much information they had on this site, no matter where you went it was like an encyclopaedic of mattress knowledge.. But where could I test one of these out, I had the spiel but without having the person speak to me. They compared their mattresses like for like with others made in a similar way to how theirs was made, using the same type of materials and similar techniques. I then decided after reading the pages I wanted to speak to someone to find out where I could lay on one as they didn’t seem to have a shop nearby. I spoke to the most delightful, very knowledgable, and passionate about the product he was talking about, he answered all my questions of which I had many and answered them, making me relaxed knowing I had found a fantastic gem. It was like being an explorer and finding that buried treasure that had been lost for centuries and knowing you have struck gold and hit the jackpot. Well after speaking to Gary (Business Manager) and going to a shop that had a similar product which he stated was very similar so I could try out another brand and make the choice from their products so that I could then pick the right one from John Ryan. I know it sounds complicated, but them not having a shop brings the price down as they have no overheads to spend thus keeping the cost down for the customer.
We took the plunge and ordered an Artisan Naturals kingsize mattress. It came quicker than anticipated which isn’t a problem as they had stated a time but it was quicker, they delivered it and placed it on our bed and was told to leave it for as long as possible for it to settle. After that time we went for a lay down to see how it was and I forgot that it’s new like a pair of shoes and was harder than I expected. Having now had it for several weeks I can say there was a time that I wanted to send it back as my back pain was still there and I was struggling but in time it eased and now I can say it’s very comfortable, the back issue is still there but it’s slowly disappearing and I’m sleeping like a baby. Yes I do still wake up and turn over but I think that’s more to the fact of the previous mattress got me into a certain habit and now I’m breaking it, whereas I was waking nearly every hour to every hour and half to rollover or move positions now it’s only a couple of times if that. The mattress is slowly getting more comfortable and I know I have to rotate and flip it so will take a bit of time to get the mattress to the same comfort as one that’s in the shops but I’m prepared to persevere on this one as I feel we have most definitely found a little treasure at a very good price and to get this type of quality in comparison to others in the shops I would highly recommend this company and would most definitely purchase again from here. Having been ill for the past few weeks I’ve been tossing and turning on this mattress without waking up due to the mattress but due to my illness, finding that now I’m out of the nasty habit of waking to re-position that the hybrid mattress made me do and back to a proper sleeping pattern in the most comfortable bed ever. So Thank you John Ryan no more back or hip pain, I can sleep in whatever position I like without any discomfort. 10 out 10, 5 Stars the highest score you can give, I’m super impressed with not only the quality, the craftsmanship, the price and service this is what makes a top brand a combination of so many things, like I said a hidden Gem.
You are given 60 days trial period and they are confident that after those 60 days you’ll be very happy with your purchase, whilst at first I wasn’t sure as I felt after a few nights it should have alleviate by back pain and wanted so much to have a quick cure, knowing in my heart it’ll take the time for my body to adjust to the new mattress and the new mattress to adjust to us.. All I can say is persevere as it’s so worth the wait. So thank you Gary and thankyou John Ryan for such an awesome product and a good nights sleep eventually. It was worth waiting for now no more back pain and sleeping fantastically, everyone is different and what might work for one person not necessarily would work for another, all I’m saying don’t dismiss John Ryan give them a try you’ve not got much to loose apart from time you never know it too might be the one for you, you have 60 days

Good service and good mattress
Had previously tried an online purchase of a well known king size memory foam style mattress however we could not get used to it and a regularly aching back meant that it was returned – no complaints with their service but memory foam not for us.
Did a lot of research – visited Hypnos, John Lewis and made comparisons and eventually saw the John Ryan website. All their reports made sense, service was good and mattress has proved to be great. Unlikely to be returned but without the 60 day trial I probably would not have risked the purchase. As long as it lasts a good few years we will be very happy.

Excellent website to make my decision…
Excellent website to make my decision on mattress and call from JR to confirm I’d made the right choice. First delivery date was not convenient so rescheduled but new date not offered promptly or proactively by delivery company so an extended wait. Great service on delivery day, no complaints bringing heavy mattress up stairs, and advice from the delivery guys on keeping mattress in top condition appreciated. Quality mattress (Artisan Naturals – King, Medium) and very comfy on first night. Thanks!
Carl
Great customer service

I ordered a mattress from this company without taking any advice. When it arrived I found it to be totally unsuitable for me. Too firm. I rang them and explained my problem. They were very understanding and after discussing my requirements I ordered a replacement which was the Artisan natural.
Upon its arrival I knew after one night that the mattress was absolutely perfect for me. This is the finest mattress I have ever slept on.
The moral of this story is ring before ordering and take their advice.
They really are experts in their field. !!!!!!!!

When we first started looking for a replacement bed, we visited the usual retail park suppliers, and then discovered the John Ryan Website. I had to convince myself that the gamble to buy a product without testing or viewing would be worthwhile. I should have just trusted the reviews and gone for it. We suffered lower back pain for a long time on an old “Posturepedic” mattress and since we’ve have this new one, we’ve been so much better. I feel like I’ve got the rolls Royce of beds now. very happy.
When I disposed of our old mattress, I took a look inside and was shocked to see cheap springs and around an inch of compressed foam, and some sort of grey material. Goes to show.
All I can say, hand on heart is that I’m both relieved and very very happy with the service and product from John Ryan. The service was excellent, and the bed, has been a revelation. Love the bed. Great company. Ralph

Excellent – highly recommend
Fantastic company, great value and products plus real customer care. I ordered an Artisan naturals super king mattress after discussion with John Ryan customer services to make sure I got the correct mattress and firmness. Everything went according to plan and everyone I encountered was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. The mattress arrived on time and in perfect condition.
I love the new mattress is it perfect for my needs. I would highly recommend this company.

Great company and great mattress
When we needed a new mattress (we have a slated bed frame which I wanted to keep) I started looking online at reviews and came across John Ryan by Design. I knew I wanted a pocket sprung & ‘natural’ mattress and not one of the newer chemical laden mattresses in a box. I learnt so much from the John Ryan website and reading the reviews on here gave me the confidence to order from them. I ordered an Artisan Naturals (had narrowed my choice down the this and a more expensive mattress but when I rang the company they told me the Artisan would be more suitable for our needs – bonus!). When the mattress arrived 3 weeks later I tried it out before making the bed and thought it was fine, but after the first night I found it a bit hard (just goes to prove lying on the bed in a showroom will not give you the best idea of how comfortable a mattress will be). I had read that the mattress will settle and so I added a wool topper (which I should have had anyway) and have not looked back. After 5 weeks I am very pleased with the mattress and would highly recommend the company.
Alison
Heaven!
Wow this is the most comfortable bed we have ever had by a million miles. And it feels like it’s going to stay that way. We chose the Artisan Naturals medium tension in a kingsize zip and link (my partner is a restless sleeper). We also chose a new divan base in crushed gold velvet, which is both haptically and visually divine. Luckily for us, we didn’t get to go on holiday last year so this is instead. The delivery people were punctual and pleasant – in fact every aspect of our purchase has been ideal. Thank you.

Excellent
Great help with advice and choice of replacement mattresses. The purchase and delivery service was faultless and exactly as described
on John Ryan website. So far we have had only 4 nights with the extremely comfortable mattress but feel confident that it is right for us. Highly recommend the service and product.

Sleeping easy
Purchased on line but was provided with a courtesy call to check my order. Given accurate information regarding delivery.
Even better the mattress is very comfortable.

King size
A risk buying without trying but very pleased so far.

Just great
Just great – quick delivery, I was given a time window for when it would arrive, and the mattress itself is super comfortable!
Julian
Very pleased with the product.
Karen
Give it time to come to judgement.
I have waited a few weeks before posting this review as when the request was made I had only had the mattress for a few days (it is the Artisans Natural double) and my first impression was that it was too firm but after several weeks it has softened and is now much more comfortable. In their literature John Ryan states that it takes time for the mattress to settle and for the customer it get used to it.
The delivery was very good we were notified what time slot we had on the day and they arrived within that period took the mattress to the room we wanted and removed and took away the packaging.
Overall pleased with the mattress and the customer service.

Best mattress ever!
My wife and I have been married for over 45 yrs and we can honestly say this is the best mattress we have ever had! We visited many retailers during our extensive search for a new bed but, by far,the most information we received in helping us to make our selection was on the John Ryan web-site. In addition to viewing the site, we were able to speak to staff at John Ryan who were able to provide further information and answer any queries we had. Although we had reservations about buying on-line without even lying on the bed of our choice, any fears we had were allayed by the fact that a ” 60 day love it or return it guarantee” was available. Following guidance we received on mattress suitability using our personal details, we chose an Artisan Naturals Super King Zip and Link bed, Medium. ( we would highly recommend a bed of this size if you can afford it and have the space to accommodate it. Each of the two mattresses can be of different degrees of firmness is so desired, the zip and link mechanism is easy to operate with no obvious join between the mattresses and the bed is much easier to turn as each mattress is turned individually with much less effort needed ). Having ordered the bed,it was supplied withing the timescales indicated and the delivery was well organised on the date agreed with phone calls from the delivery team on the day to advise on the precise delivery time. In summary, we would highly recommend John Ryan-one of the best companies we have dealt with!

Will always be buying from John Ryan in the future
We have had our Super King Zip and Link Artisan Naturals mattress for almost a year now and I am still extremely happy with it. Even more so as we’d tried an Emma mattress (like sleeping on a pile of towels) and one from Bensons first – both of which were terrible.
When the John Ryan mattress arrived I already knew we were on to a winner. The quality for clear to see visually with the lovely finishing and fabric. The handles to turn the mattress are well positioned and easy to use. The zip is working well – we are turning the mattress every few months and it’s easy to do despite being a super-king size. But the best thing is how comfortable it is. My husband and I are quite differing heights and build (5’4″ and 6’2″) but we both opted for medium tension on John Ryan’s recommendation. I like a very firm mattress and my husband likes a very soft one so I was concerned that one (or both) of us was going to be disappointed but we’re both very happy with the mattress.
Delivery was good too – it took five weeks from ordering and the delivery people were very careful in carrying it upstairs and un-packaging it for us.
I would definitely recommend John Ryan mattresses and all future mattresses will definitely be coming from them. Excellent quality for a decent price.

Super product and very attentive service

Excellent service all round
Ordering process was very thorough with customer service checking that we had ordered the correct level of tension. Delivery was faster than I was expecting and the delivery team were very helpful. Only arrived yesterday so we’ve only slept on it once, but so far very comfortable and we are pleased with our choice.

John Ryan mattress November 2018
Day of ordering, company contacted me to confirm mattress ordered was correct for my needs. Delivered on prearranged date and delivered to my room of choice. All packaging taken off and removed. Excellent and reliable service from start to finish. Mattress is the best one i’ve slept on, so comfy and well made. Would recommend and use again.
Deborah
Totally impressed
Totally impressed. They offered excellent advice over the phone before I placed my order. Phoned and emailed after I placed my order to check I was buying the item that would suit my needs. Contacted me to arrange a convenient delivery time. Delivery arrived within a 2 hour window, delivery team polite and efficient and took old mattress away for £30. Mattress (artisan natural medium tension) is fabulous, v v comfy, husband has noticed old aches have vanished. Can not recommend highly enough (only had mattress 5 days but no complaints at all . Easy to get deep sheets and protector from John Lewis.
