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 spring 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 Origins Pocket range should be the most you pay for a polyester based mattress. If this falls within your maximum budget you can rest assured that there is not much more out there that compares.
This model comes with a 3 year guarantee.
Springs
A 1500 nested pocket spring unit, giving the mattress an overall medium support. We have also included butterfly clips to the perimeter to aid edge support
Upholstery Layers
First Layer: 300 gsm Wool: This component is blended with (nominal amount) silk to give the primary layer beneath the fabric a gloriously soft cushion.
Second Layer: 750gsm Very soft Polyester: This coupled with the layers below brings the level of upholstery quite high. However, when compressed through tufting gives these layers a medium comfort but also has sufficient support by use of the springs.
Third Layer: 500gsm Polyester: This is the cushioning layer that acts as the dampener between the insulator layer below and the soft polyester that will follow.
Fourth Layer: One inch foam insulator: Directly on top of the spring unit we use a one inch layer of HD foam. This cushions you from the spring unit but also works with you enabling the pocket springs to rise and fall as you move.
The stretch knit mattress side panels are machine stitched . Traditionally hand tufted. Even though the mattress side panels are 9″ deep, the undulations caused by the abundant upholstery brings the mattress depth to a more realistic 13″.

How it will feel
This range comes in two spring counts either 1500 or 2000 and your bodyweight will dictate which one will be suitable for you.
The main difference between the two models is based on the amount of support it gives.
For people of a lighter bodyweight there is no need to go for the 2000 spring count. People of a heavier bodyweight will require the extra support the additional 500 springs will give.
| Your bodyweight | This will feel |

| Under 10 Stone / 63kg | Medium |
| 10-12 Stone / 63-76kg | Medium |
| 12-14 Stone / 76-88kg | Medium |

| 16-18 Stone / 101-114kg | Soft to Medium |

Summary
The Origins 1500 / 2000 is a substantial well built and well filled and ultimately a well priced mattress. There really isn’t much out there that can be deemed a good comparison for this price.
The side panels may be machine side stitched but the price absolutely justifies this. Although, classed as a 9″ mattress (the depth of the side panels) the quantity of fillings contained make the surfaces protrude so when hand tufted creates a sumptuously deep mattress bringing the overall depth to a more realistic 13″.
All in all, this is a thoughtfully conceived mattress. Every component used works together to create an outstanding mattress for the money. Bear in mind when doing comparisons, that this is a full double sided mattress – not one sided.

Our only regret was not choosing John Ryan in the first place !! It was only a double disaster with another company (now looked on as a blessing in disguise), that we came across the John Ryan site and didn’t look back.
As we digested the easy to follow and endless info about mattresses, we soon realised how naive we and most people are when it comes to choosing a mattress. Armed with our newly acquired knowledge (and yes we couldn’t help showing it off to anyone who would listen), we narrowed our choice to two. We then spoke to JR to discuss and help make a final decision and the rest is history.
We have been sleeping on our Origins Pocket 1500 double for 6 weeks now and can honestly say it is worth every penny.You can immediately see the quality and from the first night feel and benefit from it’s comfort. We have completely differing weights yet there is no disturbance to the other when turning over.
For us JR proved to be an excellent company which provides you with all you need to know on it’s website, backed by friendly knowledgeable staff and a very good reliable delivery service.
We have no hesitation in recommending JR and if anyone dares to mention mattresses we do !!

Came across John Ryan beds by chance on the web when I was serching for a double bed for my son. All the bed shops/sites were made so confusing with different deals for this and that, strange pricing structures etc, it was a revelation to find JR beds, simple no nonsense structure and pricing. All customer contacts were very polite, helpful and knowlegeable, including the delivery guys. One further comment is that the bed came double wrapped in a really strong plastic which gave the final consumer, me, the confidence that everything inside was going to be of a very good quality. Don’t bother serching anywhere else for a bed just give these guys & gals a shout.

Amazing company!!! King size origins 1500
I had spent a year researching what mattress to get i didn’t have a lot of money to spend and nearly purchased from ebay (£1000 super pocket sprung reduced to £200!!) Then found this company and was astouinted by the knowledge and honesty. I decided it was better to splash out on something that was going to last (buy cheap buy twice!) and am delighted that I did – it is so comfortable!!! the customer service was brilliant and teh delivery company too – they carried it upstairs and even took the packaging away with them! Briliant never have i slept on a more comfortable matress!! Sarah

After deliberating for a few months, I decided to order from John Ryan and was not disappointed. The base and mattress ordered is of excellent quality and so comfortable. Would not think twice about ordering from them again. The service and delivery was also excellent.

We brought a king size and zip and link for our holiday home in Cornwall. The service we received from John Ryan was great from ordering to delivery and we had to change the delivery date a few times no problem. The house wasn’t the easiest to deliver to or two flights of stairs but it was still no problem. These beds have to be the most comfortable beds iv slept on and they look and feel really luxurious. Our qests say so too. Such good value for money we’re now looking to buy one for home. Thank you.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I’ve been sleeping on this mattress for 2 weeks and finally after years of suffering, my back pain is completely gone. In the morning I feel refreshed and bounce out of bed feeling 10 years younger. Also I have to admit that sleeping-in on the weekends with my girlfriend in this sumptuous bed is a sheer delight. It enables us to spend more intimate time together and we never feel guilty for getting out of bed sometime in the afternoon! This mattress is the perfect balance, thanks again!

My husband wanted a bed like they have in Premier Inn, so I was googling and stumbled over the John Ryan website. Ordering a bed online was a little daunting for me, but having read through all the information on website, I felt informed enough to take the plunge, plus the 30 day trial eased both our minds.
We have a king size zip and link Origins 1500 but actually opted for the firm version, plus a divan base. This bed feels like the a dream, better than any hotel bed I ever slept on! No more taking painkillers for breakfast because I hurt so much from lying in bed. Now I need to find the perfect pillows and I will never want to leave my bed again!
