Mattress sizes & weights

It’s sometimes important to check exactly how big and heavy a mattress is.  We’ve gathered all the size and weights of John Ryan By Designs mattresses here to help you when making your decision.

Whilst all our own bases can accommodate any of our models some other retailer mattress bases may have a weight limit so it’s best to check. If you’re asking ‘what size is a mattress?’ then read on for more help.

Mattress Size Guide Approximations

Please be aware that unlike other manufacturers we don’t class the mattress cover in the overall mattress depth.  Other companies will add 1-3cm to the overall depth of the mattress using the cover and quilt undulations as part of the foam which we find misleading.  We don’t think this is a fair practice, so we don’t count this 1-3cm in the overall depth of the mattress.  Please be aware when choosing your mattress it may be slightly deeper than listed due to the cover and undulations.  We, therefore, advise you wait until your mattress arrives before purchasing additional covers and sheets to make sure they fit.
