Best Three-Quarter Mattress in South Africa (2026)
Search "best three-quarter mattress South Africa" and you'll be pointed to Dial-a-Bed (100-night trial), The Bed Centre (three-quarter beds from R1,999 in Johannesburg) and Beds & All (specialises in three-quarter beds). Honestly: some of those prices beat ours at the entry level. What we'd rather compete on is what you actually get for the difference.
The best three-quarter mattress in South Africa is the Mr Mattress Active Foam - a firm, 50 kg/m³ high-density foam three-quarter (107 x 188 cm) with a 10-year warranty and a 365-night home trial, more than 3× Dial-a-Bed's 100-night trial. If budget is the deciding factor, the Comfort Foam three-quarter is our entry option; for extra contouring comfort, the Revive Memory Foam is the upgrade.

Honestly: we're not always the cheapest
The Bed Centre's Johannesburg entry price is genuinely lower than our Comfort Foam three-quarter. What you're trading for that difference: a published core density instead of a size on a spec sheet, a 10-year warranty on the Active Foam instead of an unspecified one, and a 365-night home trial instead of 100 nights. If the lowest possible entry price is your only criterion, we're not automatically the answer - but if you want to know exactly what you're buying, our specs are published, not estimated in a showroom.
Who a three-quarter actually suits
At 107 x 188 cm, a three-quarter is the classic South African step up from a single - wider than a single but still fitting a room that can't take a double's roughly 3 x 3 metre footprint. It suits a single sleeper who wants more room to move, a teenager's first "grown-up" bed, or a first flat or student room where space is the constraint. Every South African size shares the same 188 cm length, so a three-quarter is never too short - only the width changes.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a three-quarter mattress in South Africa?
107 cm by 188 cm - wider than a single, narrower than a double, and the same 188 cm length as every standard South African size.
Is Mr Mattress the cheapest three-quarter mattress in South Africa?
Not always at the entry level - some retailers undercut our Comfort Foam price. What we offer instead is a published density figure, a 10-year warranty on the Active Foam, and a 365-night home trial.
What is your trial and return policy?
365 nights at home, no minimum hold period, on every mattress - more than 3× the 100-night trial some competitors offer.
Who is a three-quarter mattress best for?
A single sleeper who wants more room, a teenager's first bed, or a student room or first flat where a double won't fit.
Foam or spring for a three-quarter mattress?
Foam is generally quieter and better for pressure relief; spring can feel bouncier and firmer. We sell foam and coil-core hybrid, though our Hybrid Foam isn't available in three-quarter or single size - only Double and Queen.
