The three shapes we make

Hi, I'm Andries
From humble beginnings to thousands of happy sleepers, on beds and now in load bins too. The Bakkie Mattress is cut from the same bed-grade foam as everything else we make, because a bakkie trip shouldn't mean a worse night's sleep.
No fake sales. Just problems solved.

| Single Cab | The longest bin, uses the most material |

How Mr Mattress compares
Search for a bakkie mattress in South Africa and you find two kinds of seller: custom shops that will cut one after you phone for a quote and wait for the job, and outdoor-gear brands whose price you only learn once you enquire. Mr Mattress publishes everything up front: the foam density (45-50 kg/m3 bed-grade), the price per cab type (from R3,499), and the terms, a 365-night trial, a 10-year warranty and free delivery nationwide. No quote, no made-to-order wait: every cab type is already measured and cut, wheel-arch notches included, and it ships as soon as you order.
For rugged use, the weatherproof canvas cover is built for the load bin: zip it off, clean it, zip it back. The difference is what is inside, proper bed-grade foam rather than camping-pad foam, because the cover keeps the weather out, but the foam is what your back notices at 2am. And if you want to see the foam and canvas in person before buying, our store at 6 West St, Kempton Park CBD is there for exactly that.
Does it tick the expert buying checklist?
Every guide to buying a bakkie mattress in South Africa ends with the same checklist: high-density foam, enough thickness, a removable weatherproof cover, wheel-arch cutouts and canopy clearance. Here is how the Mr Mattress Bakkie Mattress measures up, point by point.
| 45-50 kg/m3 high-density foam | Yes. The same bed-grade foam block we use in our house mattresses, with the density published right here on the page, not revealed after you phone for a quote. |
| Thickness | 100mm as standard, with 80mm available on request. The full 100mm is what the category is built around, and it is doing thermal work as much as comfort work, it is the layer between you and a cold steel load bin. If your canopy is low and headroom is tight, ask for the 80mm build instead. |
| Removable, weatherproof cover | Yes. 800gsm Riptech canvas, with a zip-off design so the cover comes off for cleaning instead of the whole mattress going in the bin. Worth comparing directly: Riptech and ripstop covers advertised elsewhere in this category are typically around 400gsm, so ours is roughly double the fabric weight in the same material. |
| Wheel-arch cutouts | Pre-cut on every cab type we sell. No template, no measuring, no waiting for a custom job. |
| Canopy and tailgate clearance | Pre-measured per cab type, so the tailgate closes and a standard canopy keeps usable headroom. |
| Trial and warranty | A 30-day money-back guarantee, a 365-night trial and a 10-year warranty, in writing. The trial is the rare one: as far as we can find, no other South African bakkie-mattress seller offers a sleep trial at all. On warranty, compare what voids it rather than the number of years. |
