Compare comfort
The firmness of the mattress you desire is determined by a few factors. Your weight and height, and the mattress of your choice. The upholstery layers are the very top comfort layers and give different degrees of firmness alongside the support unit.
The higher up in the list the mattress is, the firmer it will be in the top upholstery layers.
The lower down the list, the softer the initial upholstery layers will feel
Introduction

The Fusion 5 Pure Natural Latex is a solid core premium Latex mattress without a topper. The solid dunlop Latex core provides a breathable and responsive mattress with all the benefits provided by premium 100% Natural Latex foam. Giving the sleeper a thick core mattress of Latex as its comfort layer allowing you to sink slowly into the bed until the Latex naturally supports you.

Summary
We know that some of our deeper mattresses maybe super comfortable but are just too high for some people. We have created a solid core only range which allows a smaller height mattress, 18cm deep, with all the benefits of 100% Natural Latex.
This model has the advantages of a side stitched, tape edged cover with both turning handles and side vents. Making this mattress easier to turn and more robust that cheaper zip on cover mattresses.
It also means these solid cores are an excellent choice for motorhomes and caravans where space is at a premium, it doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice comfort for space!

I was researching for a new latex mattress and having done hours of research, I was still uncomfortable in making an informed decision on what type of latex mattress options I would go for.
I came across the John Ryan site and immediately, just on the web information alone, it clear up all the misconception and confusion that was found with claims on many other websites. It was in layman’s terms for a start and even the blogs, feedback pages was excellent to people that knows nothing about latex mattress.
I contracted them about potential options and further technical differences in the types of layers use, density effect, grade of latex..etc.
Both support on the phone and email was direct, no-sales pressure responses and even answering questions on potential competitive products I was looking at. How many companies does that nowadays?!
At the end, after getting a chance to try these latex mattresses at a showroom near mine (not a John Ryan product), I convey my experience to a chap call Lee who has been advising me with several emails on how to go about asking the right questions to other company products, JR actually advise me base on my experience, they would not be able to offer something within their range.
For me I felt the 100% natural Talalay firm mattress gave me the most support, compare to 100% natural Dunlop medium and firm. Since JR only used Dunlops latex currently in their Fusion offering, I was advise to go with something I felt gave me the best comfort and support.
I would say looking at JR’s range, their range is certainly one of the best and most competitive in the market for what you get and even if I was offered a JR product and had to pay more, the honest and customer orientated advise given is something worth it in doing business with this company.
5 Star quality service and “Trust worthy” company to deal with. A rare customer experience compare to all the top mattress/bed sties and high street stores where it is all about fake discount, pricing and pushy sales tactics, and even incorrect information about the product itself.
I am definitely recommending JR to all my friends looking to buy a new mattress, irrelevant it is just for their latex range.

I was taking a risk buying a decent mattress online. It is very comfortable and I am pleased with my decision but it took weeks for the factory smell/gas to. evaporate.

I initially purchased a pocket sprung mattress but was unable to take delivery as we could not get it up the stairs to our attic bedroom. John Ryan accepted the mattress back without quibble and gave us lots of advice about selecting a different option. We now have a latex mattress which we are very very happy with, such a good nights sleep.

Loving our fusion 5 mattress. Had tried memory foam and previously had an orthopaedic pocket sprung. but never tried a full latex mattress so was taking a risk. But given the experience displayed on this website and the guarantee given, I figured these guys know what they’re talking about. The risk paid off, so comfortable and natural, without getting too hot like you can with a memory foam. Supports evenly, without a sinking in feeling. No more back aches.
