Best Mattress to Try in Person in South Africa (2026)

Q: Does Mr Mattress have a showroom?

Yes - the main showroom is at 47 Piet Human Street, Bloemfontein, with stores in Welkom, Kroonstad and Upington too. There are no stores in other provinces.

Q: Is the price different in-store versus online?

No, the same price either way. We manufacture and sell factory-direct, so there is no separate showroom mark-up.

Most "best mattress to try in person" advice says the same thing: lie down for 10 minutes, test your usual sleep position, ask about the return policy. That advice is fine as far as it goes - but 10 minutes on a showroom floor, in your work clothes, at 2pm, tells you very little about how a mattress feels after 3 hours of actual sleep.

Here's the honest answer: Mr Mattress has four physical stores - Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad and Upington - not a national showroom network like Sealy, Simmons, Rest Assured or Cloud Nine. If you specifically want to walk into multiple stores and compare brands side by side, those are genuine options. If you want to actually test a Mr Mattress properly, our 365-night home trial does something a showroom can't: it lets you sleep on it, in your own bed, for up to a year, not ten minutes.

You'll also find Mr Mattress stores in Welkom, Kroonstad and Upington. The Bloemfontein showroom is open six days a week. No pushy sales tactics, no commission-hungry salespeople - just honest advice and a bed you can actually lie down on. The price is identical online and in-store; there's no separate showroom mark-up because we manufacture and sell direct.

Why a 365-night trial beats a showroom test

A mattress needs weeks to reveal how it actually performs - whether it sleeps hot, whether pressure points show up after real hours of sleep, whether your back feels different in the morning. No showroom visit, however good the sales advice, can tell you that. Order any Mr Mattress model, sleep on it at home, and if it's not right within 365 nights, you're covered. That's a longer, more honest test than any showroom in the country offers.

Range	Feel	Warranty	From
Active	Firm, all-round	10 years	R3,399
Revive	Contouring memory foam	10 years	R4,899
Hybrid	Spring + foam	10 years	R4,999
Comfort Foam	Firm, budget	3 years	R2,399

If you want to compare brands in person first

Fair enough - some buyers want to physically compare several brands before deciding. Sealy, Simmons, Rest Assured and Cloud Nine are commonly stocked at multi-brand retailers across South Africa. Sloom offers a 100-night trial if you want another direct-to-consumer comparison. Test a medium-firm hybrid first; it works for the widest range of sleepers.
