Mr Mattress ships mattresses from South Africa to Mauritius by sea or air freight, in bulk, for hotels, resorts and guest houses refurbishing rooms. Delivery is to your door, typically 14 to 30 days from confirmed order, on a 50% deposit and balance-before-shipping basis. Import duty applies, since Mauritius sits outside SACU, and your clearing agent confirms the current rate.
Why hospitality is the real market here
Because export orders are bulk only, single-household demand does not really apply to an island market like Mauritius. What we actually see is hotels and resorts refurbishing guest rooms, guest houses replacing stock, and retailers wanting a mid-range South African made alternative to premium imported brands sold locally. This is a genuinely different buyer profile from the land-linked SACU countries, and the freight route is different too.
Sea or air: how the freight decision gets made
Because Mauritius is an island, mattresses move by sea or air freight rather than road. The choice depends on your order size and your required delivery date, our freight partner will recommend the right mode for your specific order. Either way, delivery is to your door, not to a port you have to arrange collection from.
Duty and clearance
Mauritius sits outside the Southern African Customs Union, so import duty applies on mattresses entering the country. We cannot publish a specific duty percentage since the rate depends on tariff classification, applicable preferential trade terms and can change, your clearing agent or our freight partner will confirm the current rate for your order. You, the buyer, are responsible for paying that duty and for customs clearance on arrival, using the export documentation we prepare.
What hotels and resorts typically order
Our hospitality institutional range, built for high-turnover guest rooms, is the natural fit for hotel and resort buyers, and it is available on the same export terms as our consumer ranges. The full Mr Mattress foam range, including Revive Memory Foam and Hybrid, is also available for export. Every mattress carries published foam density and a fixed 10-year manufacturer's warranty
that is never pro-rata.
