The Eastern Cape highlands, fully covered
Joe Gqabi is the Eastern Cape's high country along the Orange River and the southern Drakensberg: Aliwal North, the district's main commercial centre, famous for its hot springs, Burgersdorp and Steynsburg on the Karoo side, Barkly East and Lady Grey in the mountains, the village of Rhodes near the Tiffindell ski slopes, Sterkspruit in the Senqu valley, and the timber towns of Ugie, Maclear and Mount Fletcher on the Elundini escarpment. It is some of the coldest, highest, most beautiful country in South Africa, and some of the furthest from a decent bed shop.
Ordering from Mr Mattress removes that trade-off. You choose from the full range online at the same price everyone in South Africa pays, the courier brings the mattress to your door anywhere in Joe Gqabi free of charge, and the 365 night comfort trial gives you a full year of highland winters and warm river-valley summers to decide. If it is not right, we collect it.

How buying from Joe Gqabi works
Honesty first: Mr Mattress has no store in Joe Gqabi. We have stores across South Africa, with more opening; Aliwal North sits right on the Free State border, and the Bloemfontein stores up the N6 corridor are the nearest. Your mattress is made in South Africa through our own and approved partner facilities, with our head office and main factory in Bloemfontein, and the courier brings it to your door at no charge. Because there is no local showroom to fund, the online price is the whole price.
Delivery to Aliwal North, Barkly East and the rest of the district
Delivery is free. One honest clarification: the 1 to 3 working day fast tier is for Free State addresses, and Joe Gqabi is Eastern Cape, even Aliwal North on the river bank, so plan on the national tier of 3 to 7 working days depending on your area. Aliwal North, Burgersdorp and the towns on the N6 usually sit comfortably inside the window, while Barkly East, Rhodes, Sterkspruit and the Elundini towns should plan around the 7 working day end, and a little longer again if snow closes a mountain pass in mid-winter. The courier phones ahead to arrange a delivery day.
Towns and areas we deliver to
Free courier delivery covers addresses across all three of the district's local municipalities:
- Walter Sisulu: Aliwal North, Burgersdorp, Jamestown, Steynsburg, Venterstad and Oviston
- Senqu: Barkly East, Lady Grey, Sterkspruit and Rhodes
- Elundini: Maclear, Ugie and Mount Fletcher
Sheep farms, mountain lodges and village addresses off the tar are all covered. The courier phones ahead, so you are never guessing about the day.
Frequently asked questions
Does Mr Mattress deliver to Aliwal North, Barkly East and Maclear?
Yes. Courier delivery is free to Aliwal North, Burgersdorp, Jamestown, Lady Grey, Barkly East, Sterkspruit, Ugie, Maclear, Mount Fletcher and the whole Joe Gqabi district. National orders take 3 to 7 working days depending on your area, and the courier contacts you beforehand to arrange a delivery day that suits you.
Is there a Mr Mattress store in Joe Gqabi?
No. We have stores across South Africa, with more opening, but none in the Eastern Cape at the moment; from Aliwal North the Free State stores are the nearest. Instead of a quick showroom lie-down, every order includes a 365 night comfort trial: you sleep on the mattress at home through highland winters and warm summers, and we collect it if it is not right.
Which mattress is best for the cold highlands?
Barkly East, Rhodes and the high farms record some of the coldest nights in South Africa, and memory foam holds body warmth better than an open spring core, so the Revive is the natural highland pick. No mattress heats a room, though: a decent duvet and underlay still do most of the winter work. Down in the warmer Orange River valley at Aliwal North, the Hybrid's pocket spring core keeps summer nights more comfortable.
Can I order beds for a mountain lodge or guest farm?
Yes. The trout and ski seasons keep guest rooms from Rhodes to Lady Grey busy, and the Active Foam and Hybrid both carry a 10 year warranty built for that workload. If you are replacing several rooms at once, call 087 087 1610 and we will arrange everything in one delivery.
How much does a foam mattress cost in Joe Gqabi?
The Comfort Foam starts at R2,399 for a single, the Active Foam at R3,399, the Revive memory foam at R4,899 and the Hybrid at R4,999 for a double. Prices are identical everywhere in South Africa, and courier delivery across the district is free.
