When people see our prices, the first question is usually: "What's the catch?" There's no catch. The price difference comes down to how mattresses are normally sold — and what we cut out.
How the Traditional Mattress Supply Chain Works
Most mattresses in South Africa travel through three hands before they reach your bedroom. First, a manufacturer makes the mattress. Then a distributor buys it in bulk, adds a margin, and sells it to retailers. Then a retailer marks it up again to cover their showroom, staff, and advertising costs.
By the time that mattress reaches the shop floor, the retail price can be 40% to 60% higher than what it cost to make. Sometimes more. Every step in that chain adds cost — and the customer pays for all of it.
What Mr Mattress Removed
We didn't reinvent the mattress. We removed the middlemen.
We manufacture in our own factory in Bloemfontein. We sell directly to you. No distributor margin. No retailer markup. No massive showroom lease on a prime corner somewhere in a shopping mall. What you pay goes toward foam, fabric, and delivery — not someone else's overhead.
That's the whole model. It's simple. But it makes a real difference to the price.
What the Maths Actually Look Like
Let's say a queen-size foam mattress costs R3,500 to manufacture. A traditional retailer would need to at least double that to cover their supply chain and overheads. You'd pay R7,000 to R8,500 in a store.
We sell that same quality mattress for R3,499 to R4,999. You're paying close to the cost of production, not the cost of a whole retail ecosystem.
That's not a promotional gimmick. That's what happens when you take the middleman out of the equation.
What You Get at the Same Price
Buying direct doesn't mean you get less. You get the same high-density foam, the same factory quality control, the same product — just without the retailer's margin baked into the price.
We've delivered over 10,000 beds across South Africa. Those customers aren't coming back to us because they're settling for a cheaper product. They're coming back because they got value they couldn't find in a store.
Free Delivery. Nationwide.
We deliver free to every province. You order online or call us, and we bring the mattress to your door. No delivery charge, no hidden fees, no fine print. That's part of buying direct — we pass the saving on, not keep it.
