Meet the Maker

I am Andries Taljaard, and we have made foam mattresses in South Africa since 2014.

We print the density on every one. That number tells you if a bed is still a bed in five years.

Not sure? Message us. We answer.

Seven questions to ask

Seven questions to ask before you buy

1. Per sleeper, or the whole bed?Both. 200kg per sleeper, 400kg total on Queen, King and Super King.

2. Foundation core density?65 density chip foam core. Resists sagging over years, not just on day one.

3. Comfort layer density?60 density, open cell, SABS certified. Fully double sided.

4. Does the edge hold?Yes. Five layers run edge to edge.

5. Is the base rated the same?Mattress and base sold matched, as a Base Set. Check any old base first.

6. Warranty at your weight?10 years, no weight exclusion.

7. Trial at your weight?365 nights, in full, at 200kg.

Bed height and getting in

Getting in, out and around the bed

Weight rating is half the story. Base height matters too. 30cm mattress on a 38cm base, 68cm finished height. Need different? We build to order. Full figures on our bed height guide.

The full story

Built for more of you. More bed.

The Ultra 200 is built for sleepers up to 200kg each, 400kg on a Queen, King or Super King. Thirty centimetres deep, double sided, with a 65 density core that does not hollow. From R6,399, with 365 nights to decide.

Waking up sore is the bed telling you something. Support that holds your weight all night is what most people never try.

Questions
What is the best mattress for a 200kg person?

The Ultra 200. Rated 200kg per person, 400kg total on Queen, King and Super King. From R6,399, with a 365 night trial and 10 year warranty at that weight.

Is 200kg per person or for the whole bed?

Both are published. Per sleeper, 200kg. A Queen, King or Super King holds two sleepers, 400kg combined.

What density resists sagging for a heavy sleeper?

Standard foam is 30 to 32 density and can compress under load. The Ultra 200 uses 60 density comfort layers over a 65 density core to resist that.

Does the edge support hold up?

Yes. The five layer build runs to the perimeter, not just the centre.

Is the base separately rated?

We do not publish a separate base weight figure. We recommend the matched Base Set rather than an old or unrated base.

Does the trial or warranty change for heavier sleepers?

No. Full 365 night trial and 10 year warranty apply at 200kg, same as any other weight.

How does it compare to the Harris Hotel Heavy Duty?

Higher per sleeper rating, a published total-bed figure they do not have, certified density on both layers, and a full 365 night trial. Their warranty runs longer, 13 years plus a 2 year guarantee, and they carry named hospitality clients.

Is the Ultra 200 the highest weight rating sold in South Africa?

No, and we are not claiming that. Other sellers publish 200kg too. The difference is what stands behind our number: both figures, certified density, and a full trial.

Sleep better now.
