Here's what our satisfied customers had to say about the Artisan Sublime
Showing 0 of 5 reviews
We’ve written about how effectively Natural plant fibres are in high-end mattress construction as they are not only incredibly durable but lightweight. The Artisan Sublime is the first in our range to use these Natural fibres.
The insulator layer is made up of 2200GSM of Coir & Organic Plant Flax. Which acts as a resilient cushioning layer between the spring unit and the 3200GSM of additional luxury Natural Fibres above.
The twin layer of vanadium coated calico pocket springs provides a far more progressive support unit than a single tier can. Giving more flexibility to the sleep support unit.
A layer of 1200GSM Horsehair provides additional rebound before the incredibly high wicking 1200GSM of Alpaca fibre provides a snug feel to the comfort layer. This is then topped off with ultra-soft high wicking 800GSM Natural Bamboo fibre giving that exquisite medium feel in the top layer.

John Ryan is a NBF (National Bed Federation) Premier Retail Champion. The National Bed Federation is the recognised trade association representing UK manufacturers of beds and their suppliers.
We are also members of the Guild of Mastercraftsmen, showing our focus is firmly on quality and supplying only the best built and constructed mattresses available that can be retailed at a fair and acceptable price.
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 hand made UK mattresses are crafted from materials that are designed to provide you with a long-lasting experience. We’re upfront about every aspect of the buying process, from price range to the overall quality of a mattress.
If you’re not satisfied with what we’ve recommended then we operate under a 100% Money Back Guarantee. This means that if you aren’t happy with a product within 60 days we’ll arrange for the mattress to be collected free of charge. If your new mattress hasn’t met your expectations then we want to know about it, and we’ll ensure you find the mattress that’s right for you or provide a full refund.
All of our mattresses are handmade in the UK and split into the following ranges:
Our quality mattresses range from Man Made pocket sprung to Natural Fibre pocket sprung, with every product finding the balance between comfort and value. Pocket sprung mattresses are one of the best choices because they are constructed to a high standard. Our best selling Origins Pocket 1500 mattress is comfortable and great value for money. Choosing the right mattress comes down to build quality and price, so you’ll want to keep that in mind.
As members of the Institute of Spring Technology and Guild of Master Craftsmen, we pride ourselves on being experts in our field.

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!

One of life’s rare experiences… where everything uttered by John Ryan by Design Ltd is delivered. My mattress quality – unsurpassable: administrative support – consistently helpful: third-party delivery – an experience in logistical efficiency. All told, the price-point of my mattress reflects value-added by John Ryan by Design Ltd. A nice touch is the separate delivery of the paperwork; a guide, guarantee and invoice/receipt posted as an A4 quality-paper pamphlet… such attention to detail reflects just that… commitment to product and relational minutiae by John Ryan by Design Ltd. My money well-slept.
Mr H
Very happy with mattress
Bought the artisan sublime (second mattress I’ve bought from John Ryan) and extremely happy with it, well worth the price and would 100% recommend
Miss Jones
Artisan Sublime
Artisan Sublime – Medium.
Received our mattress within a month with no problems. The chaps bought it upstairs, put it on the bed base and unwrapped it.
It’s a really comfortable mattress, (possibly a little less squishy than the equivalent, fantastically more expensive Vispring we tried) I can really feel the quality and have had great sleep for the three weeks since we’ve had it.
Vic
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.

Superb service – could not be faulted. Helpful and very knowledgeable people.
