Questions
What makes John Ryan mattresses different?
Our handmade UK mattresses use Calico vanadium-coated pocket springs and ethically sourced natural fibres, with full transparency about materials and construction methods.
Can I try mattresses before buying?
We offer a 60-day home trial with free collection if you're unsatisfied, eliminating the need for physical showrooms through our 'Love it or Return it' guarantee.
How do I choose the right mattress tension?
Consider body weight and sleeping position: softer options suit lighter side sleepers, while firmer tensions support heavier individuals and back sleepers.
Are your mattresses suitable for back pain sufferers?
Pocket sprung models with tailored spring tensions and natural fibre upholstery provide orthopaedic support while avoiding excessive firmness that could worsen discomfort.
Do you offer eco-friendly options?
Our Artisan Latex range features 100% plant-based materials, and all mattresses use recyclable components with sustainable manufacturing processes reducing environmental impact.
What's included in the mattress guarantee?
Guarantees range from 5–15 years covering manufacturing defects, with full repair or replacement options. Proper mattress care extends beyond guarantee periods.
