Best Foam Mattresses in Bloemfontein 2026: A Local Buyer's Guide | Mr Mattress

April 12, 2026

What Foam Mattress People Need to Know

Is a foam mattress better than a spring mattress?

Foam and spring both have their place, but foam wins on support and durability for most South African sleepers. A spring mattress relies on metal coils that can sag, squeak and transfer every movement to your partner over time. Foam holds its shape, supports your spine evenly across the whole surface, and lasts longer when the density is right. Springs are genuinely good support technology - their real weakness has always been the thin comfort layer usually placed on top, which is exactly what our Hybrid range fixes by pairing a spring support core with a thick foam comfort layer. We've been making foam mattresses in South Africa for over 15 years. Our head office and main factory are in Bloemfontein, and we manufacture through our own and approved partner facilities in Gauteng, Cape Town and East London. Every mattress we sell is built in South Africa, not imported, not assembled from cheap parts.

Will a foam mattress help with back pain?

Yes - if it's the right density. Cheap, low-density foam sags within a year and your back pays the price. High-density foam keeps your spine in neutral alignment all night, which is what stops the morning aches. Our mattresses are built with high-density South African foam that supports back, side, and stomach sleepers without creating pressure points on hips and shoulders. If your current mattress dips in the middle or you wake up sore, the mattress is the problem, not your body.

How long does a foam mattress last?

A proper foam mattress lasts 8 to 10 years. A bad one lasts 18 months. The difference is density - measured in kg/m³. Low-density foam (under 21 kg/m³) breaks down fast. High-density foam (28 kg/m³ and up) holds its support for nearly a decade. Every Mr Mattress comes with a written warranty and we tell you exactly what density you're buying. No fine print, no marketing fluff. Use a mattress protector, rotate it every 3 months, and you'll get full value.

How much does a good foam mattress cost in South Africa?

A single foam mattress in SA ranges from around R1,500 for entry-level to R8,000+ for premium high-density. The big retailers mark up 200–300% because they buy from factories like ours and resell. We cut out the middleman - you buy direct from the manufacturer. That means you pay for the mattress, not the showroom and the chain markup. Browse prices on mrmattress.co.za or visit our stores in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad or Upington.

Do you deliver mattresses across South Africa?

Yes. We deliver nationwide via courier and local delivery from our factories. Order on mrmattress.co.za and we'll get it to you wherever you are in SA. For Free State customers (Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, and surrounding towns) we usually deliver within 1 to 3 working days. National orders take 3 to 7 working days depending on your area. Stock availability is the only thing that ever delays an order, and we'll tell you upfront if there's a wait.
