This page is for buyers set on the biggest standard size South Africa sells. If you are still weighing king against queen or double, the complete mattress size guide compares every dimension, and the beds for sale in South Africa hub covers full base and mattress sets in every size. Below is everything king specific: who genuinely needs the size, live king prices, and the room you need to house one. Or browse the king mattress collection directly.
Who a king mattress suits
A king is essentially two single mattresses of width in one bed: 183 cm across against a single's 91 cm. That means each of two adults gets 91.5 cm of personal space, slightly more than a child gets on an entire single mattress. Couples who find even a queen crowded, restless sleepers whose turning wakes a partner, and families whose children or pets migrate into the bed at night are the classic king buyers.
Taller and larger framed sleepers also gravitate to king. The length is the same 188 cm as every standard South African size, but the extra width means a big sleeper can spread out, shift position and sleep slightly diagonally without running out of mattress. If your main bedroom has the space, a king is the most comfort per rand you can add to a shared bed. If it does not, the queen mattress is the sensible step down.
King mattress prices in South Africa
These are live Mr Mattress prices, checked on 19 July 2026. Two of the four ranges are currently listed in king size online: Revive Memory Foam and the Hybrid, both carrying the 10 year written warranty. Comfort Foam and Active Foam stop at queen size online.
| King (183 x 188 cm) | Mattress only | Base set | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort Foam | Not listed in king | Not listed in king | 3 years |
| Active Foam | Not listed in king | Not listed in king | 10 years |
| Hybrid | Base set only online | R9,999 | 10 years |
| Revive Memory Foam | R8,999 | R9,999 | 10 years |
Worth noticing: the complete Hybrid king base set at R9,999 costs less than the Revive king mattress alone, which makes it the strongest value route into a king bed if you also need a base. The Hybrid pairs a Bonnell steel coil support core with a thick foam comfort layer and reinforced edges, the pick for heavier sleepers and anyone who prefers a springier feel. Revive Memory Foam is the contouring choice for side and combination sleepers. The mattress firmness guide helps you pick between the two feels.
What king size mattresses cost in South Africa right now
When we checked pricing at major South African retailers in July 2026, branded king size mattresses from names like Cloud Nine and Sloom ranged from around R5,500 at the entry level to over R30,000 for premium modular options, with most popular mainstream king models sitting between R8,000 and R14,000. The Mr Mattress Hybrid king base set is R9,999 and the Revive Memory Foam king is R8,999 as a mattress only, both at the lower end of that popular band, with the same 10 year warranty and free delivery included as standard rather than an upsell.
How the Mr Mattress trial compares
Cloud Nine offers a 100 night comfort trial. Sloom offers a 100 night trial with a 60 night minimum hold, meaning you cannot return the mattress before then even if you already know it is wrong for you. Mr Mattress gives 365 nights with no minimum hold period at all on every king mattress.
Will a king bed fit your room?
Give a king bed about 3 metres of width to breathe: 183 cm of bed plus roughly 60 cm of walking space on each side. A bedroom of around 3.5 x 3.5 metres carries a king comfortably with furniture; anything much smaller and the bed starts to dominate the room, which is when most buyers are happier with a queen. Measure the wall the headboard will sit against and the walkways before ordering, not after.
Base pairing is straightforward: online, king is sold as complete base sets, either the Hybrid king base set at R9,999 or the Revive Memory Foam king base set at R9,999, so the correct solid platform arrives with the mattress and no box spring is needed. Delivery of a king costs nothing extra anywhere in South Africa: Free State customers: usually 1 to 3 working days; national orders: 3 to 7 working days depending on your area.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a king mattress in South Africa?
A king mattress in South Africa measures 183 x 188 cm, which is very close to two single mattresses (91 x 188 cm each) side by side. It is 31 cm wider than a queen. Like all standard South African sizes, it is 188 cm long, so the gain is all in width.
How much does a king mattress cost in South Africa?
At live 19 July 2026 pricing, the Hybrid king base set is R9,999 and the Revive Memory Foam king is R8,999 as a mattress only or R9,999 as a complete base set. Both carry a 10 year written warranty, free delivery anywhere in South Africa and the 365 night home trial.
Which Mr Mattress ranges come in king size?
Two ranges are listed online in king size: Revive Memory Foam, as a mattress only or a base set, and the Hybrid with its Bonnell steel coil support core, sold as a complete king base set. Comfort Foam and Active Foam currently stop at queen size online, so king shoppers choose between those two.
What room size do I need for a king bed?
Give a king bed about 3 metres of width to breathe: the bed itself is 183 cm wide, and 60 cm of walking space each side keeps the room usable. A bedroom of roughly 3.5 x 3.5 metres is comfortable, and anything smaller usually suits a queen better than a king.
Is a king bed worth it over a queen?
If your room and budget allow it, yes: 31 cm of extra width is the difference between sharing space and each sleeper having room to spread out. It makes the biggest difference for restless sleepers, larger or taller sleepers, and families whose children or pets end up in the bed at night.

What to check before you buy any mattress
- Published foam density. Active Foam is 50 kg/m3 and the Revive has a 65 kg/m3 core, printed on the product so you can compare like with like.
- Weight rating. The Revive is rated to 140 kg per sleeper, so check the rating for the heaviest person in the bed.
- Trial and warranty terms. Ours is a 365 night home trial, a 30 day money-back guarantee and a fixed written warranty that is never pro-rated.
- The base. A worn or sagging base can undo a new mattress, so a base set is worth considering.
- The pillow. A pillow that suits your sleeping position matters as much as the mattress for neck comfort.
Signs your current mattress is the problem
A visible dip where you sleep, waking stiff most mornings, noisy springs, or a mattress that is more than 8 to 10 years old are the usual signs. A mattress is a comfort product, not a medical treatment, so speak to a doctor about persistent pain.
