A named answer, not a list of stores to visit
Cape Town buying guides are honest that it comes down to visiting a few stores and comparing brands in person - useful if you have the time, but it leaves the actual pick to you with no live price to compare against. We'd rather just tell you: Active Foam's 10-year warranty is built for a bed that needs to survive a full decade of growing, jumping and studying, at a published price you can check right now. We also don't carry a toddler-specific or crib-sized mattress; our smallest size is the standard single (91 x 188 cm), the usual first-proper-bed choice from around age two or three.
Made in Cape Town, not just shipped there
Mr Mattress manufactures through our own facility in Cape Town, alongside Gauteng, the Free State, East London, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Every mattress delivered across Cape Town and the rest of the Western Cape comes with free delivery and the same 365-night home trial - long enough to know if it's the right fit before you're committed.
