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.
The Origins 1500 is our most popular model in the range. Giving a true Medium feel, this two-sided model simply can’t be beaten by our competitor’s offerings.
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″.

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.
The Origins Pocket 1500 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 number 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.

Perfect for Different Requirements
I prefer a medium support mattress, and my husband prefers firmer support. So it’s always tricky to find something that works for both of us.
I dont like memory foam, too hot, wanted something breathable.
After much deliberation we ordered the Origins zip link king size, 1500 one side and 2000 the other. It’s perfect. Its not too soft for me or too hard for him. At last, we are both happy.
The quality is excellent, the customer service and email response very quick (thanks Michaela), can’t fault them.

Total Recommendation
It should not be underestimated what a quality mattress can do for you. Looking at the different types of mattresses on offer was confusing, the price ranged from affordable to eye watering and the thought of buying online without being able to ‘test’ it was daunting. I then found John Ryan by Design and called them. A discussion about our sleeping habits, health needs and requirements led to a recommendation of the Origins Pocket 1500 Mattress King Size, Medium (1500 spring). Wow they got out our needs spot on. It was one of their cheaper mattresses, but the quality and comfort is outstanding. John Ryan recommends trying the mattress for a month before considering returning it. After just one night we made the decision, it was staying. It is extremely comfortable, feels luxurious and expensive and looks like it will last for a very long time.
Their customer service, no quibble returns policy and quality products make it a no brainer.

Origins Pocket 1500
Ordered another mattress from John Ryan by Design: this time an Origins 1500 for our guest room. Very happy with the estimated manufacture/delivery time, the comms with the company itself and delivery. The mattress looks really well made, with a great depth to it – daughter commented that it looks like something from The Princess & the Pea on our Victorian bed frame!
