Our verdict
The Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000 is particularly interesting because it offers many of the characteristics associated with significantly more expensive traditional mattresses — substantial upholstery, a high natural-fibre content and dual pocket springs — while remaining relatively accessible within the specialist luxury market. For buyers willing to spend beyond mainstream premium-hybrid pricing, we think it offers a compelling alternative and have selected it as our Best Premium mattress.
Best for
- Buyers looking for a premium traditional pocket-sprung mattress
- People who prefer natural-fibre upholstery to predominantly synthetic foam construction
- Sleepers who want a medium, balanced comfort level
- Buyers considering luxury mattresses but wanting to remain around the £1,000–£1,500 level
- Shoppers who value substantial upholstery and a long guarantee
Consider an alternative if
- You are looking for a mainstream-value rather than premium purchase
- You specifically want a very soft or very firm surface
- Memory foam, strong contouring or modern cooling technology is your priority
- You want the highest specification in the Artisan range
Why we picked the Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000
At over £1,000 this is firmly a premium purchase rather than a mainstream-value mattress, and its appeal rests on construction rather than brand familiarity.
Its medium feel will not suit everyone specifically seeking a very soft or very firm surface, and buyers attracted primarily by memory foam, strong contouring or modern cooling technologies may prefer a hybrid mattress. John Ryan offers still more luxurious Artisan models above this price point, so this should be regarded as an accessible entry into that range rather than its highest specification.
It is currently:
- our Best Premium mattress
- included among our Top 3 Premium Mattresses
From £1,155 it sits above mainstream premium hybrids while remaining well below much of the specialist handmade market.

Is it good value for money?
The value case here is the specification: 3,950 GSM of upholstery with approximately 85% natural fibre content is well above what mainstream mattresses at this price typically offer.
Buyers who mainly want a capable modern hybrid can spend considerably less. Shoppers set on traditional construction will find this compares more usefully against other handmade pocket-sprung mattresses than against foam-led hybrids.
Who should buy the Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000?
Premium traditional buyer
You want a handmade pocket-sprung mattress with substantial natural-fibre upholstery rather than a foam-led hybrid.
Natural-materials buyer
The proportion of natural fibre in the upholstery matters more to you than cooling technology or brand recognition.
Buyer entering the luxury market
You are prepared to spend beyond mainstream premium pricing but want to stay around the £1,000–£1,500 level.
