Hello I have been sleeping on a sofa bed for the past year and have built up a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and suffer from really bad tension related headaches and have not had a good night sleep for the past 6 months. I nead a good quality supportive and comfortable single mattress that can be used on the floor that is going to last. I am 5'2 and weigh around 8 -8.5st

Hi Cha,Any mattress placed directly on the floor will feel extremely firm for someone of your slight body weight.We would never advise that anyone use a mattress on the floor for any length of time, as this can create problems for the mattress and it's life span. All mattresses do need to be placed on some form of bed <a class="wpil_keyword_link " href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/bases/" title="base" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">base</a> or other.Please view our <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/pocket-sprung-man-made/">Origins range</a> and call our office for more specific advice as to the suitability of one of these products for you.Kind Regards Gary

HiI have an extremely heavy memory phone mattress. I have made enquiries about purchasing a new bed on line, when I asked if the base was solid or sprung slats they advised me it was neither it was just one solid base. Is this a sign of a cheap design? The bed is fairly expensive but I'm not sure if its worth the money with this kind of <a class="wpil_keyword_link " href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/bases/" title="base" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">base</a>?thanks<a class="wpil_keyword_link " href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/question/emma-mattress-too-hot-sweaty-whats-the-best-natural-fibre-replacement-mattress/" title="Emma" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Emma</a>

Hi Emma,The type of base you require is determined by the eventual feel you require from your mattress.A <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/mattress-bases-explained/">solid or platform base</a> will make a mattress feel slightly firmer as there is no give in the surface upon which the mattress sits.Whereas with a <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/artisan-base-2/">sprung base</a> there is give and this can make the mattress feel slightly softer.Platform bases are by their very nature cheaper than sprung bases, but it really does depend upon what your eventual requirement is.If your mattress is primarily <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/memory-foam-2/" title="memory foam">memory foam</a>, before placing it on a slatted base you should cover the base with thin (3-5mm) MDF or pegboard to prevent the mattress ridging where it rests between the slats.<img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Mattress-Slats-1.jpg" alt="" />This will provide a uniform surface for the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/" title="mattress" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">mattress</a> to sit on and again will make the mattress feel slightly firmer. I hope that this helps.If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.Kind Regards Gary

Just wondered how deep the drawers are? I don't have a lot of space and storage is very important, would drawers be deep enough for bedding? Barb

Hi Barbara, Thank you for your enquiry. The dimensions of the drawers are 32" wide, 20" deep and 7" high on the Artisan range. On the Origins range, the height is 9" but other dimensions remain the same. Another option to optimise storage is the <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/ottoman-base-2/">Ottoman</a> base. The storage depth of this <a class="wpil_keyword_link " href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/bases/" title="base" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">base</a> is 10". <img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/John-Ryan-Ottoman-charcoal-bracken-4-1200x800.jpg" alt="Inside John Ryan Ottoman base" width="1028" height="685" /> This is a platform base that is suitable for any <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/" title="mattress" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">mattress</a>. With a front lift construction method, supported by high-quality gas struts, it enables you to lift the entire mattress up and utilise the significant storage space beneath it. I hope this is helpful and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419. Kind Regards.

I am looking for a zip link double mattress which I can use on a futon. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Hi Paula, Zip and link mattresses are normally only manufactured in king size and above and this is because it is not normally possible to create an internal frame 2ft 3" x 6ft 3", the minimum normal width is 2ft 6". Kind regards Mike.
